Seriously?  Of all the questions the person who made this stupid thing up could have thought of, this was one of them? Ugh. Is there any answer other than – GET TO THE HOSPITAL AS QUICKY AS POSSIBLE?! I can’t imagine what my best friend would have to do to make me not be there for her at a time …

I have to admit, I’m having trouble with this one.  I’d say it’s because nobody has ever done anything mean or unkind to me, but that’s not true.  I know it’s not because I’m such a forgiving person because that’s not true either, I can hold a grudge like you wouldn’t believe if someone does something horrible enough. I’d say …

Yesterday me and two of my oldest and dearest friends here in the Netherlands met up in Bergen op Zoom for a girl’s day out. A very much needed girl’s day out too, for all of us.

Last weekend Penny and I went to Blijdorp Zoo here in Rotterdam.  I have been a few times before, but it really is one of those places you could visit again and again.  It was hotter than hell so I actually got over the whole fat arms thing and wore a tank top in public.  I was paranoid and self-conscious …

Today me (middle), Penny (right) and Laila (left) got up bright and early and went into the city center to see the new Sex and The City movie.  We chose to go early on a Saturday so that they could arrange child care and we’d have time for lunch and shopping afterward.  I won’t get into too much about the …

Remember a while back when we renovated our Kitchen?  One of my favorite things was my new oven.  It’s an Atag and we payed a somewhat ridiculous amount extra so that we could have one that opens sideways rather than downwards.  I’m short and in order to have our oven above the fridge it was essential that I would be …

A few weeks ago my friend Penny and I went to see The Full Monty Musical in Roosendaal.  I had bought her a ticket as a Christmas present and we’d both really been looking forward to it.  A girl’s night out, naked men, honestly… what more could we ask for? Ok, maybe some homemade hot fudge… which she made for …

Our other expat friends gathered together at our house for dinner on Christmas Day The hardest part about life as an expat is missing your family and friends, I don’t think there is an expat out there who can argue that… and in the age of Twitter, Facebook, and instant messengers, it’s impossible to isolate yourself in your own little …

That’s a lot of meat for only four people but in our defense, we did have veggies too! Last night Xander and I went down to Roosendaal to visit with our friends Penny & Yuri.  A few weeks ago when I went to visit Penny for the day we walked by a restaurant that sparked my interest.  Amigos is a …

Back in May, my friend Penny got me a ticket to see P!NK for my birthday.  I was SO excited but it seemed like it was ages away at the time.  May to December, that’s a long time to wait!  It got here in a flash though and I sat here yesterday saying “I can’t believe it’s P!NK day!!”. Penny …

Yet another hiatus from my blog.  Sometimes I find it hard to find things to write about because I’ve pretty much already told everyone I know what I’ve been up to via Twitter and Facebook.   It makes the blog seem a little pointless at times.   It sucks in a way, I miss writing here regularly. This summer has been pretty …
