HITTEGOLF – When I first saw this word today the first thing that came to mind was Hitler, don’t ask me why. I’d probably have the same reaction if I heard Hitler was coming to the Netherlands next week though. So I’ve decided to create another Canadutch word (along with Hubbetje and the like) and call this Hitlergolf. Xander sent …

All couples have silly things they disagree or argue about, we are no different. On the old site I had a page dedicated to it, but on this one I will blog about it and have a category for it instead. These are the ones from the old site, any in the future will be under new posts in this …

Learned two valuable travel lessons this weekend. I had a petsitting job in Den Haag and on my way there my train stopped part way and wasn’t going any further, leaving me with no idea how the heck to get to my destination. Lesson learned: ALWAYS plan an alternate route when using public transit!! On the way back I learned …

What is it with men and their ability to sleep through anything? Last night we had the worst thunder and lightning storm I can remember in a long time.. I leaped up out of my sleep, ran around the house closing windows and came back into the bedroom. I stood there for a minute observing the scene in there.. the …

I was just woken up by the loudest bang I have heard in a very long time. At first I thought it was thunder, but after getting up to close the windows I realized it wasn’t raining and there wasn’t another sound afterwards. I thought perhaps the cats knocked something off somewhere, but after a quick inspection of the house …

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 …

Yeah, who knew that beer could get moldy. It was a “You know it’s time to clean up when.. ” moment for me today when I saw a glass on the end table next to my sofa with moldy beer in it. I’ve been so incredibly lazy with my housework lately. My back has only started to feel somewhat normal …

So the floor tiles arrived and we went to the store to pick them up. Xander’s friend drove us and he wouldn’t let me get out of the car because of my back. Thoughtful, but in the end a huge mistake. He brought them out to the car and when I looked at them I thought, hey.. these aren’t the …

I was looking online at Netflix and am so jealous that we don’t have it here in NL. I’d totally subscribe if we did! We have a few cheap immitations but nothing that compares at all. I looked up a few different old movies just to see if they had them but they didn’t. I tried titles like The Parent …

The other day I had a problem with my computer when I was trying to patch my game. Xander helped me out with it and when he checked that the game was working he asked if he could make a character. I figured what the hell, Xander hates games anyway.. I’ll let him make his little character and he’ll lose …

Well I’m home again, the eight days in Den Haag flew by and I managed to hang out there by myself without getting too bored or into any trouble. I don’t really have much news to report. It’s the same old thing here.. gaming, hanging out with hubby, trying to make babies, working on the house (ok not so much) …
