Day to Day Life

This morning Xander and I went for a nice long walk with the dogs, for a little photosynthesis, as he called it. He grabbed the dogs, I grabbed my camera and off we went.

Continuing on with my attempt to squash my Fat and Feminine issues, I had my second appointment with Ellen this afternoon.  This was the result, what we ended up calling my Starry Night nails because it ended up looking like a really clear night where it’s pitch black but you can see all the stars. Awesome, aren’t they? It took …

Last night our friends Paule and Warnoud came over with their daughter Faela. You may have heard me mention Faela a few times. Cutie patootie that can talk the hind leg off a mule? Ring a bell?

This afternoon I made my second attempt at making Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza. The first time it didn’t turn out too bad but I mistakenly used two eggs instead of one so the bottom was a little… eggy.  This time I tried a different approach.  I made some mistakes but now I think I know where I went wrong. First …

Early this morning Xander and I decided to take the dogs to the park for a walk.  We haven’t been to De Twee Heuvels before and it’s nearby so we went to check it out.  There isn’t a lot there, some paths and a lot of people with their dogs.  I assume it’s probably a lot nicer when the weather …

Yesterday me and two of my oldest and dearest friends here in the Netherlands met up in Bergen op Zoom for a girl’s day out. A very much needed girl’s day out too, for all of us.

Last year I wrote a post about my New Years Wishes, not resolutions because well, I never keep those.  They are wishes because they are things I really want to happen but am aware that I may not quite get there. Hey, a least I’m realistic, right? Now I’m looking back to see what I have achieved and what still …

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been having troubles with my gallbladder.  It all started years ago when I started having trouble with heartburn, night after night I’d be kept awake with the pains in my chest, some nights even getting bad enough for me to go to the hospital.  I’d be awake, bitching on Facebook, whining …

You know how they say variety is the spice of life?  Well, yesterday I had a moment where I just sat and thought about how lucky I am to be where I am, with the people I’m with, doing the things I do. So often I feel like my life is a complete bore compared to other people I know.  …

There are two questions I get asked every single time I’m talking to someone here in the Netherlands and tell them I’m from Canada… Do you find it very different here compared to where you come from? Which do you like better?

This has been the weekend from hell, seriously.  I’m pretty sure that when I opened the door to our flat on Friday night that I walked through some sort of gateway that took me straight into Satan’s bathroom. Let me go back and tell a little more about what was going on… You may want to grab a snack, this …
