I HAVE LOST 50 POUNDS!!!
Of course, like 19 and 25 lbs on my last attempt, and my recent 30 lbs this must be celebrated with a fish! This fish weighs exactly 50 lbs 2 oz, which is how much I have lost as of this morning! What a relief! I was beginning to think that pound was never [...]
This morning was weigh in day. I got on the insult machine, looked down and told it to go fuck itself.
It would appear that making that 1 pound my bitch is going to be more difficult than I thought. Instead, my body was all like HA, I’ll take your 1 pound and see you a [...]
One of the things from my 101 List that I’ve been most keen to do is start riding my bike again. I’ve not ridden my bike in the last number of years because I never found it comfortable. To put it bluntly, I’ve been too fat and self-conscious.
We bought it about 5 years ago because [...]
Last night I made my Nana Muriel’s Cottage Pudding for Xander for Valentine’s Day. I’ve made this once or twice over the years and he’s really loved it, so I dug out the recipe and made it again. It’s quite easy to make and is so tasty. It reminds me of Sunday dinners at my [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 2007 with the girls, then in 2008 with my parents and also once or twice [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We all know I’m terrible for taking long, agonizing walks down Memory Lane, right? Well… I’m at it again!
Out of the blue a few days ago I started humming the theme song to The Littlest Hobo. When I told my husband about it he had never heard of the show so I started singing the [...]
I just saw the funniest video. It’s a parody of the X-Men films using a mixture of movies like Wolvrine, Max Payne, Batman Begins, The Hulk and Blade and then put together with bits from different Tim Allen films.
Generally I’m not a fan of spoofy movies that make fun of other shit. Scary Movie, [...]
I would not want to be this guy!
Seriously… Christmas trees aren’t THAT expensive here that you have to steal one. Perhaps he feels the same as I do, that the Dutch Christmas trees are not worth buying. They are Charlie Brown Christmas Trees! They don’t even deserve to be called trees, they are Christmas Shrubs! [...]
This video is so funny! If you can overlook the fact that Jack has diff clothes and hair every time you see him. Poor Jack, always on someone’s naughty list!
Today I went for my second gastroscopie and all I can say is that it wasn’t as good an experience as the first one. Everything seemed to be following the same routine as the first time, I went in, they took my blood pressure, laid me down and gave me the drugs. Then I [...]
So does Bailey!
… or maybe he doesn’t, it’s kind of hard to tell.
He also does this with choir music, fire engines and the monthly Monday at 12pm city alarm. Xander took this video last night while I was watching the end of Becoming Jane during a scene at the Opera. We’ve tried so many [...]
I just got back from dropping my mother off at the airport. I’m a bit down and I miss her already but I’ve learned over the years that if I let myself wallow I can sometimes not drag myself back out, so I try to keep myself occupied until it passes. When I got home [...]
I may very well be the last gamer on the planet to hear about these people, but I feel the need to share… just in case there’s someone more out of the loop than I am.
The Guild are a group of gamers who came together to make their own web-based show about five [...]
Check it out, it’s Michal Keach again! Still no idea who he is, but he’s still serving a purpose for me. For the 2nd time in the past 3 years I am once again down THIRTY POUNDS (14 kilos / 2.1 stones)!! Well, 33 lbs as of today, but 30 lbs as of my [...]
