Last year I wrote a blog about The Best Day of Summer 1996 from an old blog entry.  I was looking back to where I was 10 years before. To sum it up, where I was 10 years before was spending the day driving around the Cabot Trail with my friend Peggi and two friends we had picked up hitchhiking. …

Passport – CHECK! Tickets – CHECK! Petsitters – CHECK! I AM GOING HOME! YAAAAAY!! Now all I have to do is wait until it’s time to go.  It’s not so bad because we leave in just a little over a month.   I know the time will go by fast though because it seems like just yesterday I was saying ‘Only …

This past weekend Xander and I went to visit our friends Penny and Yuri.  They are housesitting for Yuri’s boss here in Rotterdam and it’s been great having them so close.  They live in Roosendaal, about a 35-40 minute drive from us, so we get together once every 1-2 weeks if we are lucky. The place they are housesitting is like …

Friday afternoon my friend Penny came over for the afternoon to watch some chick flicks.  We watched Studio 54 and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.  After my KD and Wieners I had a craving for regular hotdogs so we went and picked some up at the Plus (our local supermarket). When we got home we went straight to the kitchen …

Yesterday me and the girls went to Kinderdijk which was really cool.  I can’t believe I’ve been living here almost 8 years and hadn’t been there yet! If you are wondering what Kinderdijk is, it’s just a nice place just outside of Rotterdam where there’s a buttload of pretty windmills to take pics of. This is me in front of …

I just finished watching this week’s performances for American Idol.   Eish, does this year suck. Jordin did great, I’m actually starting to see her as a front runner.  Helped that I really loved the song she sang. Melinda also did an awesome job and I love that Simon told her to drop the surprise act every time someone compliments her, …

Yesterday I went to the Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp) with my three friends Lynda (right), Paule (left) and Simone (middle).  It was a beautiful day with temps in the low 20’s and we had such a wonderful time. Lynda is leaving us on the 24th when she moves back to the UK to live.  So we’re getting in as much …

This week’s FOAD is going out to the pancake makeup wearing, pissy attitude giving, hate-my-job-so-I-will-make-you-miserable waitress bitch I encountered yesterday. Yesterday I went into town to meet up with a group of other expat women for a bit of shopping and lunch.  After mass confusion and not being able to decide where to go for lunch, one of the girls  …

I’ve been BAMBOOZLED! Do you remember back in July when I wrote a post about best friends?  If not, click the link please because I can’t be arsed to explain it all again. Anyhow, I feel cheated!  They are imposters! Ok, I guess they technically aren’t imposters since there is no real Bree or Daniel, but you get what I’m …

It’s Wednesday and I’m writing this now and pre-dating it for Thursday as my very first FOAD Thursday post, because I know if I don’t by tomorrow I’ll forget I was ever pissed off about it. I decided to join in the Foad fun when I came across a post on someone elses blog that reminded me of something I …

That’s what I once told a boy I loved… I noticed some videos on YouTube today from someone called Lonleygirl15 and her friend Danielbeast. It would seem that this girl, LG15, has pretty strict parents. She appears to spend a lot of time in her room, is homeschooled and isn’t allowed to do much. She has a good friend named …
