He drives me crazy. Over the years, he’s come so close to death so many times I can’t even explain it. He’s obnoxious. He’s bossy. He whines and he gets his hair everywhere.

I was looking over my tree tonight, dreading the thought of taking all my Christmas decorations down and putting them away, when I noticed this ornament.  My husband and I bought it the first year we were married, in 2000, which was our 2nd year together and first year as husband and wife. I still feel way too young to …

Today was laundry day and part of laundry day is wearing things you probably wouldn’t wear otherwise, so that all the stuff you do want to wear can be washed. At least that’s how it works in my house… or maybe it’s because I always put the laundry off for too long.  It could be that. Whatever… tonight while I …

Saturday was beautiful and sunny, about 26 degrees and absolutely delightful when we went out for a bike ride.  I was talking to my friend Laila and heard that she had spent the day at Scheveningen where everyone was already swimming!  I couldn’t believe it, normally I wait until July before I head to the beach but if the Dutchies …

It occurred to me today that this month is the 14th anniversary of mine and Spencer’s life together.  He has been with me from Prince Edward Island, to Toronto and finally over here to the Netherlands. I found him in 1996, I was 21 and had just moved out of home for the first time.  I was in a small …

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary.  Like any couple we’ve had our issues… my problems settling in the Netherlands, his Lego addiction, my late night mosquito rages… but one thing that has never changed is our love for each other.  Well, MY love for HIM I should say.   I’m not so sure about his love …

On February 14, 2010 (Valentine’s Day) the Lock of Love art piece was placed in Rotterdam’s popular district of Delfshaven.  The Lock of Love ritual has been taking place all over the world, and is now here in Rotterdam as well.  Not just a rail on a bridge or a chain around a lamppost, this work of art has love …

My husband makes me laugh so much.. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I was with someone without such a great sense of humor. Well yeah I do, I’d make a point of moving on, as I have in the past with men who had miserable personalities (better late than never, I say). Anyhow, our neighbours must think …

Today we finally got around to ripping up the carpet in the livingroom, which.. ugh. What was I thinking putting carpet in here with two cats? We were both sneezing up a storm as the carpet came up and swore in unison that we’d never have carpet in our home again. At least as long as the cats are alive.. …

My priorities are totally FUBAR. The things I think are important aren’t, the things I think aren’t.. are. I’ve always been that way.. I want things other people have, I don’t want the things I do have. I’m like a 5 year old child and the world is my toystore. It sucks. I keep thinking I’ll grow out of it …

I was in Cape Breton, writing in my diary.. and letters to my future husband, even though I didn’t know it yet. Today while rummaging through our storage room, Xander found my old diary. When he brought it up to me I couldn’t believe my eyes, as I haven’t seen it in ages. I have been looking through it and …
