For some reason I’ve been craving Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups lately.  They aren’t even my favorite treat, although I do love the Reese’s Pieces.  It can’t be explained, I just want it… a lot!  We can’t get them here in the Netherlands though, and even if we could I should probably avoid them like the plague as I’m sure they …

My husband came home last night after a weekend away with his Lego / Robot buddies.  They were working on… god I’m not even going to try to explain it, it’s this, and they did get it working. I love that my husband has a hobby that he’s so interested in and gets so much enjoyment out of.  I don’t …

Flickr’s matthewg15 gets himself a new pair of tattooed spectacles. Now, you know I love body modification as much as the next gal, but come on!  There is a point where you can take a good thing too far.  I give this guy some points for originality and individuality but, in my opinion, this is such a terrible idea.   One …

Today I am in the best mood.  I’m not sure why, considering I was dragged out of a dead sleep by the cramps from hell… which ordinarily would leave me in a positively foul mood, but I won’t question it! It’s a dark, grey, rainy and dreary day today in the Netherlands and instead of feeling sad and blue I …

If you are like me and grumbled over shows like Lipstick Jungle, Swingtown and Samantha Who? getting cancelled, I might have found something else you might like.   This is mostly for the other expat gals who, like me, have to download everything they want to watch and may not have heard of it.  It’s called Drop Dead Diva and it’s …

Think again!  If you want more Edward and Bella, I have the perfect story for you! ** SPOILER ALERT! ** – If you haven’t finished the original four books, stop reading here as the synopsis of this fan fiction story contains info you don’t want to see yet. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Seriously, stop reading now if you …

“It was bad enough when we were fighting the Terminators. But then the Transformers came. Now we just call them the Transforminators – John Connor Maybe they should have gone this route and killed two birds with one stone?   I haven’t seen the new Terminator movie yet but I have heard some pretty bad reviews already.   Transformers is still a mystery.  …

A while back my friend Heather was raving on about this new movie she got that she was head over heels in love with.  She told me how she anxiously awaited the arrival of the DVD and how she’s watched it almost every night since it arrived.  Umm, yeah.  I am a total TV and movie freak but even I …

Over the past few weeks there has been a meme going around all the blogs about ten things you think but would never tell people.  These are mine: 1. I wish you never left. It’s not the same without you here and missing you really sucks. 2. Every time I start to think you have finally grown out of it, …

Isn’t it typical that just when I am starting to think about trying to lose weight, I am being haunted by KFC?  -  It’s EVERYWHERE! Yesterday I got up and checked my favorite celeb gossip site and saw a write-up about how Oprah has Americans everywhere running to KFC to use the printable coupon she’s offered on her website. For …

As you know, I’m a big Reality TV junkie.  I’ve been subjecting myself to the insanity of American Idol for years, even though I not-so-secretly hate it.   I’ve watched Project Runway, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Hell’s Kitchen and endless other reality shows as well.   I’m not sure why I like it, but I think a part of it is watching …
