I have a PERIOD KEY! ……………………………………….. No more cutting and pasting! It’s wonderful! How do I have a new period key? It’s one of many new keys on my NEW LAPTOP! I know, this story just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it? It’s a Sony Vaio FJ Series and the things I love about it include: The glossy screen …

… 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 …

I’m in Den Haag now in the beginning of my eight day petsitting gig with Gus and Ike. They are both snoozing soundly on the sofa at the moment while I sit here with my feet up watching the pre-show of the MTV Movie awards. It’s approximately 28-30 degrees outside here at the moment and the back garden feels like …

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 …

I think I remember saying quite a while ago that if I disappear to send out search parties.. where the hell are they? .. and here I thought you people cared about me! This is probably the biggest gap I’ve ever had in my blogging but every time I thought about writing one I went “Meh.. I’ll do it later”. …

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 …
