Day to Day Life

Today is weirdly special for two reasons. It’s the first day of my period (sorry guys, I know that’s way TMI for you) and it’s the day before weigh-in day. Which blows because period = bloat for me. Today I was trying to be really good. Eating healthy, drinking lots of water and even with my cramps and BLEH feeling …

Today Xander and I went to the mall to buy some odds and ends and to pick out our GLASSES!! Certainly not a first for him, but it was for me! I must have tried on every pair of women’s glasses in the place but I kept going back to the same pair… I have always said that if I …

The weather here in NL has been sick, as I’m sure most are aware we are having a heatwave over here…. oh, no.. excuse me.. a HITLERGOLF! ( I really must stop calling it that because I totally forget the proper word for it now ) It’s been so so so hot and soooo humid (shut up Darryn). This doesn’t …

Ok it’s judgement day, yet again! This week I’ve been quite well behaved and tried to exercise as much as possible. Ok maybe not as much as possible but as much as … oh ffs, I exercised ok? Week 1 – 0 lbs lost Week 2 – 2 lbs lost Week 3 – 2 lbs lost Week 4 – 2 …

This was a great weekend.. We borrowed Xander’s friend A’s car again and went off to the beach with Bailey on Sunday afternoon. As you can see, he loved it… once he got used to it and stopped acting like a spaz. It took us a while to get him to stop wiggling in between the seats trying to get …

A few days ago I wrote about Sony’s supposedly racist PSP ad here in the Netherlands. It would appear that Sony has caved and is pulling the ads that are causing so much controversy. It’s sad really. They must have put some thought into it before they put the ads out there… so why give in when people get oversensitive …

Looks like I got out just in time… Apparently addiction consultants Smith & Jones are coaxing gamers back to reality in a clinic in Amsterdam. They say… Research suggests online game playing may trigger the release of the chemical dopamine in the brain. A study done in London’s Hammersmith Hospital showed that increased levels of dopamine were roughly the equivalent …

I want W. back. W. being the girl who used to live upstairs. Remember the one who used to come asking to use our phone all the time. Well, I miss her. When she lived here she came to my door at least 2-3 times a week looking to use our phone. I’d get woken up at 7am by her …

One of the big controversies online at the moment is about Sony’s new PSP ads in Holland. The ads are for the new white PSP that is coming out which is represented by a white woman dressed in white, while the black PSP is represented by… yes you guessed it, a black woman dressed in black. I first found this …

I’m sitting here on my sofa, wrapped in a blanket with a birds nest for hair and droopy eyes. I’m tired. For the last number of days I haven’t managed to get a full nights sleep even once. Yesterday morning I was woken up at 3:30am by the sounds of my dog puking in his bed, which I got up …

When I hear the term “The change of life” I go back in time to when I was a child and my mother had a hysterectomy. My father kept saying that my mother was going through “The change of life” and all I wondered was, what was wrong with the one she had? That’s not the change of life I’m …
