Yet another hiatus from my blog.  Sometimes I find it hard to find things to write about because I’ve pretty much already told everyone I know what I’ve been up to via Twitter and Facebook.   It makes the blog seem a little pointless at times.   It sucks in a way, I miss writing here regularly. This summer has been pretty …

If you are like me and grumbled over shows like Lipstick Jungle, Swingtown and Samantha Who? getting cancelled, I might have found something else you might like.   This is mostly for the other expat gals who, like me, have to download everything they want to watch and may not have heard of it.  It’s called Drop Dead Diva and it’s …

God I’ve been meaning to write about this for ages but I’ve been so busy the last while with my friend Penny being in town and a few other things that have been going on (that I will write about soon), my blog has suffered. Anyhow, a while back my mother in law asked for some photos of us because …

Do you remember ages ago when I made a post about Fox News and their opinions on the Netherlands?  Well, the bastards are at it again!  Recently a video has come out where Bill O’Reilly gave his backwards opinions on Amsterdam.  FU Bill O’Reilly, FU!!! Sometimes I think this is more home than even I realize because when I see …

This has been a bad few weeks for me pet wise and anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I love my pets and it breaks my heart when anything happens to them. First there was Bailey’s attack by a pit bull, which frightened the life out of me and has left me still a little nervous …

Growing up the child of a musician, I know how much their instruments mean to them.   When I was younger I would never have dreamed of taking out my father’s guitar and playing with it, although I’m sure he would have loved if I’d wanted to later on.   It’s their creative outlet and they choose their instruments with great care …

This past weekend I went on a sailing trip to Friesland with my photography club.   It was organized by one of our members who is from there and used to work at a sailing club teaching lessons when he was younger.   It was SO much fun! On Friday night we arrived in the village of Heeg, where we would be …

This is the weather forecast for Rotterdam for the coming days.  The top bit is the weather conditions here this morning.  ONE HUNDRED FREAKIN’ PERCENT HUMIDITY.  You can literally see the air, you can feel it.  It’s disgusting.  This is summer in the Netherlands. This weekend I was in Friesland with my photography club.  We went sailing and visiting some …

Bailey in his Medical Pet Shirt, so much nicer than a big ugly cone! Sunday  night Xander and I went out with the dogs at about 10pm.  As we were walking along Xander was telling me how he met up with a guy a few nights ago with two big Staffordshire’s off their leashes, and when Xander reminded him about …

Baby remember my name! FAME!! Ok, normally I’m not one for remakes.  I heard they are remaking  Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Footloose, which makes me go uuuuugh, and I’m absolutely dreading the day they even TRY to remake a great one like Dirty Dancing. I can’t help it, I am really looking forward to this one.   I LOVED …

I swear, for the last year or so I’ve been a complete crybaby.   I can’t explain it and I can’t pinpoint when it began, but I’m pretty sure it’s getting worse and it’s freakin’ embarrassing! Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not unhappy.  Not unhappy at all, in fact.  I know I’ve posted a lot about depression in the past but that’s …
