If I got someone pregnant, I would be rich. The first female to ever get someone else pregnant… can you imagine what Oprah would pay for that story? If I were pregnant, I would be over the moon. More than over the moon, I’d be in shock. So much so that I probably would have a hard time believing it …

This year my husband and I decided to do something different for Valentine’s Day. Normally we don’t really do much, just hang out and make a nice dinner, to go a movie or go out for something to eat. This year I saw that a Bollywood show was coming to the Luxor Theater in Rotterdam and I really thought it …

OMG IT IS SO TOTALLY MY LAPTOP!! Seriously, if you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you are all too aware of my cardiac arrest this evening when my laptop died on me. I got up from a nap and realized it was really slow so I decided to reboot it. When it came time …

Wow, this one isn’t dark or anything. Good grief. I’d be lying if I said there weren’t times where I thought of just giving up. I had some pretty dark times when I first moved here. Having dropped everything back in Canada to come here and falling desperately in love with my husband, the thought of leaving and going home …

I am wondering how someone is meant to answer this. I guess if you had a really interesting or tragic life it might be easier. If I was a drug addict at one point in my life I might be able to say “Because I stopped taking drugs!”, or if I’d been in a horrific accident and had life saving …

Ugh, I’ve been dreading this one. I’m really not a big music person… there are a lot of songs I can sing along with but ask me who sings them or what they are called? Forget it… I’m not going to do a playlist for just one person, because I’ll never come up with the songs but I’ll just give …

I wish that I had been smart enough to take advantage of growing up in a house with a man who spent his entire life playing the guitar. Music and playing the guitar are my father’s biggest passions in life. I grew up watching him playing in bands and teaching the boys in the neighbourhood to play the guitar. He …

Other than wishing I’d never dated this douchebag or acted like such a shithead when I first moved here, I think the thing I wish I hadn’t done in my life is waste my opportunity for a decent education by quitting college. I went to college straight out of high school, which was a mistake, but a bigger mistake was …

Seriously? Of all the questions the person who made this stupid thing up could have thought of, this was one of them? Ugh. Is there any answer other than – GET TO THE HOSPITAL AS QUICKY AS POSSIBLE?! I can’t imagine what my best friend would have to do to make me not be there for her at a time …

This one is pretty simple, I think both are fine if used responsibly. By drugs I mean weed, not heroin or cocaine or any of the stronger drugs. If I had to choose the lesser of the two evils it would definitely be weed. I think the marijuana issue is blown way out of proportion and that the leaders in …

I don’t think of politics at all. I probably should, it’d be wise to be informed but I honestly don’t care about it at all. I don’t think I even know who Canada’s prime minister is at the moment. I don’t really care, that’s probably why. That’s pretty much all I have to say about that. Religion is another matter. …
