Tammy

Going Dutch

I hate when I break a nail really low where it’s still sort of attached. It stings and hurts anytime it gets wet or when I touch anything. Not to mention it ruins my nailpolish! Yeah, I’ve been having one of those girlie phases where I keep painting my finger and toenails and plucking the crap out of my eyebrows. …

Elevator

I was in a car driving somewhere. I was trying to go to some place, not sure where.. along the way I got lost and decided to go visit my great grandmother (I’ve never met her, she died just after I was born but apparently was alive in my dream). I drove up a dirt road towards a beach. The …

Shallow Water

I was going to a new school, I had my bookbag and school stuff and was walking in the neighbourhood where my old high school boyfriend lived. I met two girls who wanted me to hang out with them so we went to one of their houses. I really liked her bedroom, it made me miss having a girl’s bedroom …

Colors of Home

Yesterday I returned the Creative Camera and got the Logitech Camera back with a powered USB hub. The camera didn’t work. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with the people from Logitech (Who were as useless as tits on a bull!) and with the makers of this laptop (Who were great!!) yet we came to no solution. …

Oatmeal Cookie Chunk

I absolutely love this stuff! It’s the first time in years that anything has challenged my alltime favorite Haagen Dazs Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream. This new Oatmeal Cookie Chunk ice cream by Ben & Jerry’s is definately giving it some competition. If you haven’t tried it you really should. It’s absolutely delicious! Last night I watched an interesting show on …

Fashion Show

There was a fashion show of some kind in a big field. It was back home in Cape Breton somewhere. I had agreed to help a friend by taking part and I think I was there to model some kind of jewelry. Then I’m at my grandparent’s place in Point Edward. Everyone is getting ready for this big event and …

Bulletholes

I had the weirdest dream last night. Not that most of my dreams aren’t weird, at least the ones I remember.Tuesday I went on an excursion with my class. Apparently this thing I’ve been doing is just a “newcomers introduction” that you do until you get the letter telling you where your actual language lessons will be. So Tuesday they …

Bike Ride

I was in North Sydney (my home town) and met up with some friends up by the Clansman Motel. We all had bicycles and were going to go for a ride. It was me, a girl, another girl and her boyfriend. I don’t know who they were but in my dream I knew them, but not very well. We were …

First Day of School

Yesterday I went for my first day of my lessons. Turned out it was just meant to be a quick meeting to sign the contracts for the course. There was only about six of us all together, not counting the husbands who tagged along. Silly me of course, I was like a 5 year old with her daddy. “No Xander …

European Freak Boots

Well once again I’m writing this while I have no internet. I don’t know what has been happening lately, whether it’s our wireless or the internet itself but it’s really unstable. That can be a pain for someone like me who is constantly downloading things.I was just watching Suddenly Susan and they were bowling. Todd goes to pick up his …

Back to School

Yesterday we went to see the mortgage people again to see about buying this place we are living in. It still seems a bit strange for me to pay an amount that could get a large house with a swimming pool back home, to buy a 2 bedroom condo/apartment here. This is one of those times I need to not …
