I’ve been so blog-lazy lately. I figured if I didn’t write today that Shirley Ann would fly over here and lay a beating on me. Heck, even my mother scolded me because I haven’t written lately. The pressure!! Anyhow, Bailey just got dropped off for a haircut. He really needed one badly because he was getting smelly and looked like …

Today is my mom and dad’s anniversary! They’ve been married for 32 years.. wow! That’s pretty great by today’s standards where divorce runs rampant. I put it on my calendar here on my website, making sure I didn’t forget!I forgot. I swear, I’m the most forgetful person I know, unless I forgot the other one. *Sigh* Anyway thankfully my parents …

It’s been so hot here, it’s horroble. Isn’t it typical that we’d have nice cool weather right up until Merijn gets here… then it’s so humid I can’t even wiggle my toe without sweating! I feel bad because I really have absolutely no desire to go outside. It’s beautifully cool inside the apartment and it’s sickening outside. I don’t want …

It’s a beautiful day in the Netherlands today. It’s 25 degrees and the sun is shining.. You’d be able to see the weather here on my website if that damn Weather Pixie was working. I put it on my site ages ago, it was from www.weatherpixie.com, which appears to just be gone. Just like that.. *poof* I don’t know what’s …

I can’t sleep and this is why. It’s 15 degrees outside with humdity of 94% and not a breath of air. It may as well be 40 degrees. Together with the lack of screens in this country, this is the result.. mosquito bites, and lots of them. This is just one of the bites I got while trying to sleep …

Ever wonder where I sit when I type this? Well this is it! I took these pictures yesterday after Xander and I cleaned up. The livingroom used to look different and I was getting tired of it. We started out at like 9:30 moving the furniture around, throwing things away and figuring out what we wanted to do with it. …

*Yawn* It’s 7:15am now and I’m still tired but I can’t sleep. Wow, see how long it takes me to get just this far, from “Time” in the list above to writing this. I’m such a multitasker. The last week or so has been strange for me. After speaking to this Dutch guy who is living in Halifax and asking …

I’m stocked up to my eyeballs with doubt about moving home. I’m sure anyone who knows me and is reading this is thinking “FFS MAKE UP YOUR MIND!” but I’m really really confused. I’ve been back and forth like a ping-pong ball about the whole stay in Holland/move to Canada issue. I thought I was 100% sure about moving home, …

Happy Day After Canada Day Everyone!! So yesterday was Canada day! What did I do? Nothing.. hehe Oh there’s a shock for you all I bet! For some strange reason they don’t celebrate Canada Day in Holland. *Shrugs* I have a cold, or at least I think I do. My throat is so sore! I’d give anything for some Halls …

Yay I was wrong! I did lose some weight this week, ok so it was only 2 pounds but still it all adds up right? I have finally hit the double digits! Wahoo!Yesterday was an awesome day. Xander and I got up and got ready to go to The market. We left at about 8:30 am which got us there …

Wow this is the earliest I’ve written yet, but I’m in the mood so lets just go with it. Last night we went to bed early and there was a lot of moaning and groaning. No, not the kind you’d probably imagine… More like “It’s so hot! *Moan*” and “Don’t touch me! *Groan*”. Yeah, not exactly a romantic evening but …
