As you can see, I’m back posting on my blog again. I’ve been back from France for a little over a week and am just settling back in and getting used to life here in Rotterdam again. Our holiday was fantastic and I will soon be bombarding you with photos of some of the things [...]
Now that I have finally broken the 50 lbs lost point and Project Fatass has made it through winter, it’s time to move on to another goal. I won’t say what it is because I’m still too embarrassed by the numbers, but it’s 8 lbs away. Sound easy, right? Yeah, not really. Having already done [...]
Over the years I’ve had a lot of issues with seasonal depression. Not something I’ve ever suffered from in Canada, but it hit me quick and hard here in the Netherlands. I wasn’t expecting it but it happened, and it continued to happen for the past 10 years. Granted, for the first half of that [...]
Well, Pixel is almost a year old now and has been with us for 9 months. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of pee and poo but we’ve finally gotten it all under control *knocks wood*. She is so cute it’s hard to stay angry with her when she does things like, oh [...]
When I was out with my friend Penny the other day we were talking about Rotterdam and how it’s changed because of World War II, and it got me to thinking about how different things might be here had it all never happened. You see, during the war, the Nazis bombed the city center to [...]
At the moment I am working on some changes for my website. I have a new theme that I am working on and I will hopefully have it up soon. I’m working on it using the Theme Test Drive plugin for WordPress. So I can see it and work on it while everyone else still [...]
Over the last while we have been making some changes to our living room as we decided that it was time to retire our sofas and redecorate a bit. It’s still a work in progress but I do have some photos. I figure I’ll do it the same as our dining room and show how [...]
Over the years my hair has been getting shorter and shorter. Mostly because my patience for long hair has been becoming shorter and shorter too! In the winter months it’s fine but in the summer I hate having a lot of hair. My hair is really fine so it tangles easily, and I just get [...]
The other day I was chatting with Melissa about her buggered up fridge and as I was looking for a photo of our tiny little fridge I got to thinking about if I ever showed the completed kitchen photos. I just did a search on my blog and from what I can tell I stopped [...]
Thuis means home in Dutch. It’s been a while since I did some before and after shots of some of the renovations we’ve done so far. So I thought I’d play catch up. Our most recent is the dining room, this is how it’s looked over the years: This photo was taken sometime in 2000, [...]
When we were in Canada we were at my sister’s place for a few evenings to visit. While we were there, one of the things I loved most was her fireplace… it made her livingroom so cozy and really added to the atmosphere. Of course, I couldn’t stop thinking about it since. I never really [...]
BLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so good this week. I mean soooooooooo good. SO SO SO SO fucking good it hurt sometimes, like at the movies when I took a container of chopped fruit instead of getting Maltesers… or when I went along to McDonalds with Xander and Alan and stuck to my no coke no fries [...]
