Tantrums & Rants

I have been reading the book Odd Thomas for over a month.   I’ve been dying to read this book for quite a long time and when I got a gift certificate from work for the big book store in town, I went out and bought it.   I also bought the next book in the series, I was that sure I …

If you had asked me a month ago if I had any space in my house I would have laughed.  Between me, the pets, my husband and all our furniture I felt like we were completely crowded. I SO wish I felt that way again right now. My parents left this morning and if I’m honest, I thought I’d be …

Kill me now.  I mean it… just take me out back like a lame horse and put me down.   I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! My parents will be here in four days. FOUR DAYS. Tomorrow it will only be THREE DAYS… and I have a cold!  It started out as loads of sneezing, but I told myself it …

Yesterday I watched the first episode of the new season of Desperate Housewives.  Oh god, where to start!  I loved this show in the beginning but haveused it as more of a time filler show last season, rather than something I was actually eager to see.   This season, I’m not even sure I even want to watch any more of …

In veel steden kunnen fietsers en wandelaars zondag hun hart ophalen. Milieudefensie viert dan de tiende verjaardag van de zogenoemde autovrije dag. De straten in het centrum van 22 dorpen en steden zijn autovrij. Today is ‘Auto Free Day’ in Rotterdam and 21 other cities and towns across the Netherlands.  This is the 10th year that this has taken place, …

Ok so we had contacted the company that hosts my domain and they said they were going to monitor the servers and see what was going on.   This is what they sent to my husband the other day: We were able to resolve your website without any latency. We suggest you to try with other browsers like Flock, Mozilla or …

This afternoon I watched the latest episode (208 – Close Enough to Touch) of McLeod’s Daughters and it was the most tearjerkingest (that’s a word, right? :P) episode I’ve ever seen. I won’t get into what happened because I know my mother won’t be able to stop herself from reading this, and she is a few seasons behind… but omg.  …

You know that saying ‘Stick a fork in me, because I’m done’?  Yeah, that was me yesterday afternoon. We went to a BBQ at a friend’s place in Beneden Leeuwen, which is about an hours drive from here.  It was a gathering of an expat group that I belong to online.  The same one that we met up with the …

A few people have mentioned that they are having problems with my site being slow to load.   It appears there are some problems going on with my host.   I thought it might be the theme, since the problems mainly started around the same time I switched themes, but after doing some testing everything is slow, even things on this domian …

Aaaah, it’s a wonderful thought, isn’t it?  I’ve bitched in the past about how much I hate mosquitoes but ugh, I’m fed up.   I have put screens on all our windows and doors but they still manage to get in somehow.  I think they have a secret breeding ground somewhere in my house.   I’m also convinced that the mosquitoes here …

If Rex is ever up for eviction in Big Brother UK, VOTE HIS ASS OUT!!!  OMG, I don’t remember the last time I ever saw someone on TV, fictional or reality, that I despise as much as this man. Is anyone else watching this season?  I want to climb through my screen and poke his eyes out with my fingers.   …
