Day to Day Life

This week’s photo hunter theme is TINY, which made me think of this. It’s a photo I took a few years ago when I was petsitting for a lady in Heemstede, she had a huge 1 year old Weimeraner and a ton of cats.  The dog had no training whatsoever and I left black and blue. This little kitten took …

Yesterday, I was out with the dog enjoying what turned out to be very temporary sunshine when I suddenly choked.   Was I choking on my own saliva?  Was it a piece of my fried egg that I didn’t get down properly before I went out?  I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew I suddenly had a tickle in …

That means… HE’S GONE!! He being my asshole neighbour who left his junk everywhere and was always noisy… among other things.  He had two weeks to pay up his unpaid rent or he was going to be kicked out, and he left before they had the chance.  Over the weekend he and his friends packed everything into his van and he’s gone.  Gone away…forever… …

I just had this conversation with my husband… Breigh says (10:30 AM):http://www.buygifttissue.com/images/Periwinkle.jpg*Hubby* says (10:32 AM):“Mickey: Right. And she’s terribly partial to the periwinkle blue, boss.

This has been the most dreary and wet summer we’ve had in the entire time I’ve been living in this country.   If it weren’t for looking at other people’s holiday photos I’d forget it’s even summer at all. I took this photo today at 6:30pm just before the 3rd thunderstorm of the day.   It’s been like this since sometime in …

Friday afternoon my friend Penny came over for the afternoon to watch some chick flicks.  We watched Studio 54 and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.  After my KD and Wieners I had a craving for regular hotdogs so we went and picked some up at the Plus (our local supermarket). When we got home we went straight to the kitchen …

Anyone who lives the life of an expat can tell you that sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.  Just the smallest piece of home can really make your day. That’s what it was like for me yesterday.  A box I’d ordered with imported American food items arrived and I was in heeeaveeeenn… KD AND WEINERS, BABY!!!  …

This is a photo I took through the blinds of my livingroom, like a chicken.  Like a sneaky, nosy neighbour.  I am not ashamed.  You wouldn’t want this psychopath seeing you looking either! Tomorrow marks the two week mark for our asshole neighbour to either pay up all the rent he’s not paid for the last year or move out.   Judging by his …

A while back I got turkey breasts on sale at the supermarket and put them in the freezer. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them but I decided to do a sort of turkey roll thing with stuffing and bacon and all that yummy goodness. They are in the oven now but this is what they …

The first crazy man in my life is my husband.   Last night he freaked me out again with his psycho sleep antics.  I was laying in bed reading my new Mike Gayle book (which was awesome!! I’ll write about that later) and Xander was sleeping next to me.   Suddenly he BOLTED upright in bed, threw the blankets off and sat cross …

This weekend I have my husband home for an extra long weekend.   He’s bored at work waiting for some hardware to arrive so he decided to take his last few holiday days from last year and make this a long weekend.   He took a half day yesterday and is off today and Monday.   One of the things he was looking …
