If I didn’t know better I’d think there was a war taking place in Rotterdam these past few days.   As we get closer to the New Year, more and more fireworks are being sold in the city, and more people are setting them off early.   It starts in the early morning with the firecrackers and once it gets dark you …

… until I get to see my parents again!! By that time it will have been 2 years since I’ve seen them. Again, far far too long. They will be here from May 3rd – May 17th and I absolutely cannot wait. It’s nice having something to look forward to like this. It also gives me some motivation to get …

My belly is absolutely bursting atm… Last night Xander tricked me into spending a long time with a full group of newbies doing something I really didn’t want to do in game. This made me very cranky so he promised to make a great Sunday morning breakfast. It is officially known as and will go down in history as “The …

I am in so much pain today :( Yesterday I went to the shop with “Willie” to pick up some more tiles as we decided to have the toilet done as well as our bathroom. You see, here in the Netherlands it’s not uncommon for the toilet to be totally seperate from the bathing/showering area. So in our flat we …

Today I had Bailey out for his morning walk when this lady came along with some big yellowish dog. Not a lab or retriever but some other biggish dog who’s breed I couldn’t even take a guess at. Anyhow, as usual the two dogs were straining to get near each other and I figured Bailey would be his usual playful …

Today is Bailey’s birthday, he’s two! Three sleeps until I turn 30.. only three days left of my twenties. I hope to god my thirties don’t go by as quickly! Seven sleeps until Xander and I have been married for 5 years. We don’t have any big plans for any of these occasions. For our anniversary we already bought tickets …

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 …

Aren’t they delicious? We just had some a little while ago, ordered from The Sparerib King or something. I had the wings and they were good, the ribs have dry seasoning on them though, what the hell is that about? I want them dripping BBQ sauce down my friggin ARMS! The only disgusting thing about them though, is the smacky …

Today I had my last two exams (toets) for this part of my Dutch course and I’m so glad it’s over. I really hate tests! I think I did really well on luisteren (listening), schrijven (writing) and lezen (reading), but my spreken (speaking) was a NIGHTMARE. I’ve already said that but I just wanted to complain about it a little …

Naw I’m not giving out kisses but if you saw me you’d probably think I was. Not sure what I came in contact with over the last day or so but for some reason my lips are all swollen and itchy. It would seem I’m allergic to something, no idea what though. I look like an Angelina Jolie wannabe…. I …

I love Fridays so much.. Don’t have to worry about what time I go to bed because I can sleep however much I want to the next day. Two whole days before I have to go to school again… love it, love it, love it! It’s been snowing here for the past three days or so and in some spots …
