Oh yeah baby!  You didn’t think I’d go through the torture of sitting there while Xander had his tooth pulled and NOT get it to take pics of, did you?   I mean I took pics of mine that time, so you should expect no difference now. *snicker* Seriously, that was in the mouth of the man I kiss! This is …

If I were to make a list of my least favorite places to be here in the Netherlands, it would be here.   The waiting room at our local huisartsenpost (kind of like outpatients, where you go outside of office hours, only … different).  I took this photo with my mobile while sitting there being miserable this afternoon. We’ve been here …

Today my crazy husband turned 34 years old.  The other night in bed he threatened to divorce me because for some reason or another I thought he was going to turn 35.  In my defense, he had me up talking for ages and I was so tired my eyes were starting to wobble. We also realized that we have now …

The day before mom and dad left we took a drive a bit south to show them some more of the countryside and the beaches near Rockanje.   We had initially planned on spending the day at home chilling out before they left but I think we were all feeling a bit weird so we decided to go out and about. …

Oh my god I can’t believe I’m finally saying this, but my parents will be here NEXT WEEK!!   We’ve been counting this down for months and it’s almost here.   Mom and Dad hugs, Canadian goodies, all my favorite people together again in one room!! I’m excited! I’m freaking out! I know most other expat women I know go through odd …

When I say that our blood, sweat and tears have gone into our new bedroom, I’m not jokin’.   At the moment I have a finger and a heel bandaged due to renovation related accidents.   Xander has injured three of his fingers. No good renovation goes without a few casualties, and if I have to give up the use of a …

I finally finished painting the bedroom the other day.  God what a task.  As I mentioned in my previous post about it the texture of the wall made painting it an absolute hell. It’s done though!  The walls are finished and the molding has been painted and put up at the edge of the ceiling. Now that it’s all finished …

Did you ever get the feeling you are being watched? Can you tell it’s dinner time?  I was getting the stare down by the three of them wondering when they were getting fed.   Xander doesn’t usually do it but I think he figured if it works for the dogs… Pixel turned five months old today.  She’s growing like a weed, …

Ok so we had contacted the company that hosts my domain and they said they were going to monitor the servers and see what was going on.   This is what they sent to my husband the other day: We were able to resolve your website without any latency. We suggest you to try with other browsers like Flock, Mozilla or …

It’s now been a few months since Spencer has been back home with us after the shelter debacle and the kiwi carnage.   I think I’m going to start calling him Spencer v2.0 from now on because he really is a new version of himself. I was speaking with the lady who kept Salem yesterday and he is doing wonderfully on …

I think I have abandonment issues because I had a really weird dream last night with a common theme as of late. I dreamed, yet again, that I was back in Canada.  I was in my hometown, driving around seeing and doing all the things I miss.   It’s all in bits and pieces now but some of the things I …
