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 …

Bones is one of my favorite shows, and in the latest episode Dr. Brennan gets a bit of baby fever.  Watching her try to be maternal and relate to babies is hilarious.   Even more hilarious than than when she tries to relate to adult humans. The whole baby fever thing is something I can totally understand, as my husband and …

Saturday we went to Roosendaal for Noah’s first Birthday.   It’s hard to believe he’s a year old already.  I am shocked by it, so I can only imagine how much Penny and Yuri must be wishing they could stop time.  Every time I see him he’s changed so much and is doing so many new things.  I almost fell over …

I’ve always been really interested in photography but never knew anything about it.  I’ve tried looking some info up online but there is something about my brain that causes it to switch off when I get too much information at once.  I needed personal instruction and I never knew anyone here in NL who could give me that, or at …

On Friday I met up with my friend Penny for lunch and a bit of shopping.  She had her son Noah with her and I couldn’t help but snap a few photos of him.   He’s at that cool age where he’s really starting to get some personality, which made it a lot more fun. He really loves being in front …

My parents have been here now for a week and a half.   I have three days left with them before we get up and put them on a plane… not something I am looking forward to.   I am looking forward to getting back to our old routine, as I’m sure my parents are… but the airport scene always sucks.  I …

Today DutchBitch has given me the I love your blog award!  Pretty cool! I’ll be honest.  I’ve seen other people handing these awards out to each other and I’ve been a little jealous and unloved. Not anymore, I’m one of the cool kids now, so to speak! This is how it works, according to DutchBitch: The “I Love Your Blog …

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 …

Today I went to visit my friend Penny in Roosendaal.  She showed me around the city center of Roosendaal, including this really beautiful shopping area that serves as a walkway between one side of the city center and the other. It’s been renovated recently and it just looks so nice!  I have no idea how it looked before but it’s …

This was me once, when I was 15 years old, in 9th grade. My boyfriend’s name was Aaron Tuck, I have no idea where he is now but wherever it is I’m sure he’s causing lots of heartache to some poor woman who loves him desperately regardless. I thought I was massively fat, even though I’d love to be that …

Have any of you seen the movie Juno yet?  If not, you really have to check out the trailer. Yesterday my friend Penny came into town and we met up after work.   I get off early on Fridays so I worked through my lunch so I could get off even earlier so we could hang out.   She is way pregnant, …
