Visit participants.I’ve been thinking about this week’s photo hunt pretty much all week. ‘Youth’ is a pretty relevant topic to me at the moment with the transition from my 20’s to my 30’s, getting grey hairs, needing glasses, losing family members and all the other things in life that remind …

This week’s photo hunt theme is ‘Funny’. I wasn’t sure what photo to use but I decided to go with this one, because it makes me giggle like a kid every time I see it. About two years ago my husband and I were at the beach. I saw this man coming and going on the beach while we were …

This is my second entry to the Saturday Photo Hunt! Errr… even though it’s a little late and is actually Sunday here, in some places it’s still Saturday, so it counts! The photos are of some Chinese coins my mother in law gave me when she was visiting us last year. It was her first visit to us after a …

I’ve joined the Saturday Photo Hunt thingie, not sure if I officially belong to it yet or what. I need to sort out the blog roll, for now I linked to someone elses on my sidebar until I make a page for it myself. Anyway, here is my entry in the meantime! Grab the Scavenger Hunt code.

One thing I’ve been doing lately is snapping pictures of everyone and everything. Not that this is anything new, but it makes me happy. I’m hoping to be able to make my way through a photography course once my Dutch has reached a respectable level, just for something fun to do. Here are some of my favorites from the past …

Today is the first day of the year that I can say it’s FREEZIN’ outside!! Brrrrr! It was mild this morning when I left for school but when I came out a few hours later it was much colder. That’s the only down side of Autumn in the Netherlands, it’s even more impossible than usual to judge what to wear. …

Oh man am I ever getting sick. Within the last few hours I went from feeling perfectly fine to feeling like my head is going to explode. My throat hurts, my nose is stuffy and I can’t stop sneezing. I’m positively miserable! Xander came home last week and wasn’t feeling well, had a bit of a cold for about two …

Last night I actually slept through the night. Which is quite unlike the few nights before. We got a timed feeder for the cats hoping that if they get fed part way through the night they won’t start getting rowdy at 4-5am. Joke as on us because they figured out how to get it open, but that doesn’t happen without …

Yesterday I returned the Creative Camera and got the Logitech Camera back with a powered USB hub. The camera didn’t work. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with the people from Logitech (Who were as useless as tits on a bull!) and with the makers of this laptop (Who were great!!) yet we came to no solution. …

I really need to get a new memory or start writing things down. Every day I see/hear/read/think things and think oh I must write about this in my blog. Of course once blog time comes around the memories of these things are nowhere to be found.Oh, Oh! I remember one!! Ok, I got another good blast of “You never REALLY …
