• Baked Bananas Fail

    One of the hard parts of being on a diet (I hate using that word) is trying to keep variety in regards to food, at least for me.  I tend to stick to the same things I know I like because I often don’t like cooking or trying new things.  Mostly because I hate when [...]

  • The Ultimate Peanut Butter Cup

    For some reason I’ve been craving Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups lately.  They aren’t even my favorite treat, although I do love the Reese’s Pieces.  It can’t be explained, I just want it… a lot!  We can’t get them here in the Netherlands though, and even if we could I should probably avoid them like the [...]

  • Yes, Canucks Really Do Drink Bagged Milk!

    A while back I went out for dinner with a friend and we somehow got on the topic of milk.  They couldn’t believe me when I told them that we get our milk in bags back in Canada.
    They also couldn’t believe that we actually had a milk man who would come in the morning [...]

  • I Am Switching Teams!

    I’m a fan of Twilight, I don’t think that’s any secret around here.  Even though the first movie frustrated me with Bella’s lip biting and head wobbling, the missing pieces and the bits thrown in that weren’t even in the book… I’ve still watched it again.  Ok more than once, leave me alone!
    While reading the [...]

  • The Mosquitoes Won

    I know, I’m STILL going on about mosquitoes in February, but they are still causing me pain!
    See, here’s what happened.  It was early September and I was laying in bed in the wee hours of the morning when I felt a mosquito bite on my back.  It was about 3am – 4am and I was [...]

  • Sometimes I Really Love Rotterdam

    Sometimes I Really Love Rotterdam

    Last night on our way to the Film Festival I had to stop and just look at this for a moment.  It’s the square at Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam.  The photo doesn’t do it justice, but there were so many twinkling

    Last night my friend Heather and I attended the International Film Festival here in Rotterdam.  I have never been to a film festival of any kind so I had no idea what to expect.  It was her idea, and in

    Blogging By Mobile

    Was wondering if I could write a blog with my phone. Found a WP app on the Android market and decided to test it. Here goes nothing! Adding some random photo I took months ago to test the camera. No

    101 List: Kinderdijk in the Winter (Done)

    This morning we woke up to a bit of snow in the Netherlands.  At 10am my husband and I hopped in the car and set off to Kinderdijk! I’ve been there a number of times, the first time back in

    Light Writing Proposal

    A while back I wrote about a Sweet Proposal where a guy got the gal over at Bakarella.com to help him propose to his girlfriend.  I thought that was pretty clever. Today I saw another cool proposal on Gizmodo where a

  • The Full Monty Musical

    The Full Monty Musical

    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… [...]

    Het Boekenfestijn

    I got these eight books for only €27!  Not a bad deal at all!
    This past weekend I visited Het Boekenfestijn in Ahoy, which is a huge book festival that is held once a year to sell off books that were left over from the year’s stock.   I had never been and was curious about what [...]

    My Scarpetta Movie Castings!

    Around this time last year I did a post about what my choices would be for Stephanie Plum Movie Castings, if she were ever to come to the big screen.  There has been a lot of debate about it, but I still stand firmly behind my selections.
    The other day I saw an article on the [...]

    I Want A Back-Rubbing Robot!

    My husband came home last night after a weekend away with his Lego / Robot buddies.  They were working on… god I’m not even going to try to explain it, it’s this, and they did get it working.
    I love that my husband has a hobby that he’s so interested in and gets so much enjoyment [...]

    New Years Wishes

    I know I’m late to the party with the whole New Year ‘resolution’ thing, but I needed some time to think about it.  I don’t actually do resolutions, it’s really not my thing.  Mostly because I’m a big quitter and I never keep them.   There are some things I would really like to see happen [...]

    Tattooed Glasses? Seriously?

    Flickr’s matthewg15 gets himself a new pair of tattooed spectacles.
    Now, you know I love body modification as much as the next gal, but come on!  There is a point where you can take a good thing too far.  I give this guy some points for originality and individuality but, in my opinion, this is such [...]
