Day to Day Life

Well our kitchen has been demolished.  It’s been a bit of a pain in the ass and I’m stressing out every step of the way but here’s what has taken place so far. This is our kitchen the first day we started dismantling it.  Obviously, extremely cluttered and messy… it was hard finding places to put things from the cupboards …

That’s what Matt, my turtle forums buddy, said to me today when I came on MSN laughing about how Xander and I both forgot that today was our anniversary.   We didn’t just forget because we don’t care, but because we’ve been sooooo busy with other things it completely slipped our minds. I’ll explain what we’ve been so busy with a little further …

Well today is my 32nd birthday and yeah I feel old.  I miss my 20’s! So far my birthday has been great, but I’ve only been awake for a few hours.  I can now talk about my super birthday present though!  I’ve been keeping it somewhat secret for the last week because I wanted to post about it on my …

This weekend Xander and I are doing… nothing!  We are just hanging around the house relaxing and enjoying not having to be anywhere or do anything. Last weekend was very busy…  On Friday we were busy sorting out a few things I will mention in future posts (hehe secrets!) as well as Saturday in the day.   Saturday evening we went …

I haven’t been participating in the photo hunt lately but I knew I had the perfect pic for this week. This is the door of our apartment which is on the third floor.  That’s a lot of steps.  A lot of steps to carry groceries up.  A lot of steps to get the mail.  A lot of steps to chase …

Yesterday me and the girls went to Kinderdijk which was really cool.  I can’t believe I’ve been living here almost 8 years and hadn’t been there yet! If you are wondering what Kinderdijk is, it’s just a nice place just outside of Rotterdam where there’s a buttload of pretty windmills to take pics of. This is me in front of …

I just finished watching this week’s performances for American Idol.   Eish, does this year suck. Jordin did great, I’m actually starting to see her as a front runner.  Helped that I really loved the song she sang. Melinda also did an awesome job and I love that Simon told her to drop the surprise act every time someone compliments her, …

Yesterday I went to the Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp) with my three friends Lynda (right), Paule (left) and Simone (middle).  It was a beautiful day with temps in the low 20’s and we had such a wonderful time. Lynda is leaving us on the 24th when she moves back to the UK to live.  So we’re getting in as much …

Ok, I’ve never said that particular part of l33t speak before in my life but it suited this post really well.   Yesterday Xander and I went to our friends Penny and Yuri for a BBQ, and what a great time we had! Penny manned the BBQ, Xander kept the conversation going, Yuri took care of the wine and I took …

Yesterday was dooms day.  The day I had to go to the dentist… and what a day it was!   I was so nervous and by 12pm I was sure I was going to be sick. I had my appointment at 12:30pm and after about a 15 minute wait I was brought in by a dental assistant who really didn’t seem …

It’s a beautifully sunny day and I’m a happy Canadian.  It’s freezingasscold back in a lot of parts of Canada so on my way into town to see some friends I’m going to be giving a big NYA NYA to my old countrymates as I walk along in my summer jacket. NYA NYA Canadians, NYA NYA! Before I leave, I …
