People seem to compliment me on this blog.  Some of the compliments I have are about the theme and layout, because they think it’s quite complicated and I must be a creative genius… when really it’s a theme that came ready-made and all I did was tweak it! Wait, it probably would have been best to let people believe I …

Last night our friends Paule and Warnoud came over with their daughter Faela. You may have heard me mention Faela a few times. Cutie patootie that can talk the hind leg off a mule? Ring a bell?

Shit, this one is tough.  Who’s idea was it for me to do this stupid thing anyway?! haha I think we all have people we get to know who we find out we don’t really jive with, and I could write about someone like that but I don’t think it’s possible to write a post about them here without somehow …

One person I never wanted to lose touch with but somehow did was a friend of mine who used to live here in NL.  I met her years ago when she was living here with her husband, she was really new here and she hated it with a passion.  Her husband was only here on a two year contract and …

Pffft, easy. It would have to be the guy I was dating before I met Xander.  We’ll call him J…. J what?  Jerk? J-Douche? Jackoff? Jeeny weeny peeny? Hey, any of the above apply.  Pretty much any negative description you could come up with apply. This guy was a dick, and you know the worst part?  I stayed with him …

Shit, this is an easy one… my husband.  I’ve spoken on here loads of times about how wonderful he is and all the things I love about him. To list it all again would just be repeating myself, although I’m sure he wouldn’t mind… he really digs the compliments and ego stroking. He knows he is what I live for …

The first thing that comes to mind here is… bury my husband.  I know, morbid right?  I can’t help it though, when I think of the absolute worst thing that could happen that I’d never ever want to do, that’s it. I have this really childish inability to deal with it as well.  A number of times he has tried …

I have a list of things I want to do in my life, my 101 List!  One thing I really want to do is become more independent and self sufficient here in the Netherlands.  Sure, things are a lot better than they were but I still have a long way to go. The two things that would really make a …

This afternoon I made my second attempt at making Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza. The first time it didn’t turn out too bad but I mistakenly used two eggs instead of one so the bottom was a little… eggy.  This time I tried a different approach.  I made some mistakes but now I think I know where I went wrong. First …

As you’ve seen from previous posts, part of my plan of attack for this past Christmas was to make as many homemade gifts as possible. When my friend Barbara asked if I wanted to paint ceramics with her and some other friends I was all over it, because it gave me another opportunity to make something for  someone. I had …

I have to admit, I’m having trouble with this one.  I’d say it’s because nobody has ever done anything mean or unkind to me, but that’s not true.  I know it’s not because I’m such a forgiving person because that’s not true either, I can hold a grudge like you wouldn’t believe if someone does something horrible enough. I’d say …
