We got snow this morning in the Netherlands. So close to Christmas, but it just missed the mark.  I think not having snow is one of the things that makes it more difficult to get into the Christmas spirit over here.  Well, that together with not having friends and family around. It was so nice to wake up and see …

In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits.  My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things …

When people ask me what my biggest problems are after my gastric bypass I think they are expecting me to say that I’m sick, that I can’t eat the things I love or that I have some freakish pain… but that’s not it, I have none of those problems.  Right now my biggest problems are hair loss (I knew this …

Have you ever read my About Me page? If you have you’ve probably seen this… Ummm, yeah.  This is a lie.  Well, it wasn’t a lie when I first wrote it now but I can’t leave it on there without feeling like I’m telling a fib. A while back I wrote a post about how I felt that my being …

Well, as promised after the Divas Day Out in Den Bosch I finally got around to working on the photos.  I am glad I didn’t bring my good camera, but they didn’t turn out too bad with the point and shoot. There was shopping. Lots and lots of shopping… It started at LUSH where Paule and Penny were quite keen …

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 …

After finishing my baby bobble blanket I felt a little lost.  I had gotten so used to plunking down in my chair and picking up the blanket to work on that when it was finished and I had nothing to do, I got grumpy.  I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to work on next and although I had a …

It’s now only 29 (oops – Typo!) 69 days until Christmas and as my latest shopping excursions have shown, the Dutchies have their Christmas items out on the shelves already! So far we’ve found Christmas items for sale at Blokker and Xenos, and our local Intratuin is currently about 50% through setting up their winter wonderland!  I know this would …

I just had this conversation with my husband on MSN: Blasphemer says: check this out: Click Here Breigh says: haha omg Breigh says: you can buy vibrators at the free record shop? Blasphemer says: Yeah and Etos, so you can take something home for when you have a headache and for days that you don’t , hahaha Breigh says: HAHAHAHA …

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since my last I LoveThe Fall photos and posts. This is one of my favorite times of year for so many different reasons. I always get the feeling like I should be out buying pencils and getting in as many bike rides as I can before the snow. I love going out …

Today it was a whopping 27 degrees here in Rotterdam, and we don’t have our screens on the windows yet. Whew, it’s warm in here! We can’t open the windows wide because of the animals. I’d hate for one of my little fluffies to end up taking a three story drop. I’ll have to make a point to paint the …
