Woe is Me

I have a bunch of stuff in my head but can’t really concentrate on one single thing.  Welcome to my pity party…
I went to a party last weekend that had a lot of crying snot covered little kids in a small area.  Having not purchased myself a plastic bubble yet, I got ANOTHER COLD.  Yeah, [...]

The Tooth is Out!

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.

Least Favorite Places - Huisartsenpost

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 [...]

My Old Man

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 [...]

Bedroom Reno Part 4 - Blood, Sweat and Curtains

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 [...]

Three Musketeers

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 [...]

The Cat Who Loves Me

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 [...]
