Day to Day Life

I had the weirdest dream last night. Not that most of my dreams aren’t weird, at least the ones I remember.Tuesday I went on an excursion with my class. Apparently this thing I’ve been doing is just a “newcomers introduction” that you do until you get the letter telling you where your actual language lessons will be. So Tuesday they …

Yesterday I went for my first day of my lessons. Turned out it was just meant to be a quick meeting to sign the contracts for the course. There was only about six of us all together, not counting the husbands who tagged along. Silly me of course, I was like a 5 year old with her daddy. “No Xander …

Well once again I’m writing this while I have no internet. I don’t know what has been happening lately, whether it’s our wireless or the internet itself but it’s really unstable. That can be a pain for someone like me who is constantly downloading things.I was just watching Suddenly Susan and they were bowling. Todd goes to pick up his …

Yesterday we went to see the mortgage people again to see about buying this place we are living in. It still seems a bit strange for me to pay an amount that could get a large house with a swimming pool back home, to buy a 2 bedroom condo/apartment here. This is one of those times I need to not …

Well for some reason my internet isn’t working. I woke up and was disconnected and can’t seem to get online again. I’ll have to wait for Xander to get up and fix it.Been thinking a lot about giving this website a makeover. The last few times I’ve looked at it I was sickened by all this teddybear crap. It’s SO …

This is Ginger, she’s the 5 month old Staffordshire Terrier I’m looking after at the moment. She’s quite a handful but she’s not nearly as crazy as the previous dog I looked after. She’s very very cute and she loves to pounce on Bailey and pin him to the floor. He doesn’t appear to like this quite as much. She’s …

Last night my husband took me on a date to see The Bourne Supremacy, it was awesome! I had my doubts that it would be as good as the previous Bourne movie but it was just as good. There was a lot of action, drama and suspense. One thing happens near the beginning that I wasn’t expecting but that just …

Well I think it’s safe to say I’m definately never going to see the money. I phoned her about a half hour ago to get her postal code to send back her keys. Before I could even say anything she said “Is this Tammy” then went on to tell me how I’ve caused them so much trouble. ( !!!! )She …

Well I’m finally home again and god does it feel good. The past few days have been a big learning experience for me, and it’s been kind of a hard bit to swallow but I’m getting there.My last client that I was housesitting for apparently seemed to have a desperate need to get me out of the house before she …

When I got back Tuesday night from petsitting Gus, Ike and Daisey my phone was ringing when I walked in the door. It was a Scottish lady from Heemstede (outside Amsterdam) who was in a rush to find someone to petsit as she and her family had to leave for Scotland the next day for a funeral.There is no internet …

This is Gus and Ike, the dogs I’m petsitting this weekend while their owners are in London. They are Basenjis which is a breed that originates in Africa. They are so sweet and easy to care for, I really love being here with them. The thing I find most strange about them is that they never bark. They are actually …
