Day to Day Life

Last night I crawled into bed and heaved a big sigh.  Our new bed is so comfy and with the fleece sheets on in the winter it’s like crawling into a cloud.  I was tired, it was almost 1am which is pretty late for us but not unusual lately since Xander has been working from home a lot. I was …

If you are a friend of mine on Facebook or have followed me on Twitter, you’re fully aware that my anxiety levels were through the roof this year during the holidays.  Mainly between Christmas and New Years. Why?  – Because of the firecrackers, bangers, fireworks and everything else that went off causing my dogs to spin circles.  It’s not just …

shoppers and crystal tree by wvs Every day I visit the website daily dose of imagery because I have serious photo envy, and because I like to torture myself by looking at photos of Toronto and getting homesick. Yesterday he posted this photo of one of the big shopping centers in downtown Toronto at x-mas.   When I first saw it …

Holy crap, can you believe it?!!  I remember when I started the countdown on my header, it was 68 days until Christmas and now it’s here! This is where Xander and I will spend Christmas Eve – in front of the tree, behind our laptops, just the way we like it!  Ok, I’m sure I’d probably prefer to be visiting …

Saturday myself and Penny were off to the Christmas market in Cologne, Germany.   We’d been looking forward to going for weeks on end so we were both totally stoked.   I think we weren’t really prepared for what was waiting for us though. We knew it was going to be busy, since it is getting closer to Christmas and we went …

Omg I totally forgot to mention this!  If you remember, this time last year we got one hellish bill from Eneco, who are the DEVIL.   I was so angry I was spitting nails because I was convinced the mistake was on their end and not ours. Tonight I was talking to a friend and he was telling me that last …

I’m a little late but we had snow last week!  I was so excited!   Of course, it didn’t last long but I managed to get some photos of it in the meantime.  I love when it snows! It started early in the afternoon out of nowhere and looked beautiful with the sun still shining. Then it started getting nasty.  The …

I have a bunch of stuff in my head but can’t really concentrate on one single thing.  Welcome to my pity party… I went to a party last weekend that had a lot of crying snot covered little kids in a small area.  Having not purchased myself a plastic bubble yet, I got ANOTHER COLD.  Yeah, you heard me right… …

A while back I saw that Zhu had a post called Pay it Forward.  I first thought of the movie by that name, but it turned out she was taking part in the same sort of thing only over blogs.  Here is how it was described: the exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return …

For the last number of years I’ve been dying to visit the Christmas markets in Germany.   Since my husband was never too keen, it never really happened.   This year I was talking to my friend Penny about it and we decided to book a trip for the two of us to go.  On December 13th we are going to Cologne! …

Oh yeah baby!  You didn’t think I’d go through the torture of sitting there while Xander had his tooth pulled and NOT get it to take pics of, did you?   I mean I took pics of mine that time, so you should expect no difference now. *snicker* Seriously, that was in the mouth of the man I kiss! This is …
