No I don’t mean me, you dick. Ok maybe I do, sorta. Still, it wasn’t nice of you to just assume it was about me. Just sayin’. This is The Fat Lady: No, seriously, the fish is actually called The Fat Lady! Check the link if you don’t believe me. Anyway, you know what a [...]
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 [...]
That’s right, I’m out of here like yesterday’s news! Off like a whore’s drawers! Like a prom dress at midnight! For the next 10 days I will be here… No trams, metros, scooters, rushing, doorbells ringing, car horns honking, children screaming, people smelling or sirens wailing. Just peace, tranquility, chilling, chatting, swimming, dog photographing and [...]
This week’s photo hunt theme is Fresh, which luckily fell in line with what I wanted to write about today. Fresh food! My very own future home-grown fresh off the balcony veggies! OMG! This week I got a package from Jenny (my stepmom-in-law) with these three packages of seeds included. She sent along a little [...]
On February 14, 2010 (Valentine’s Day) the Lock of Love art piece was placed in Rotterdam’s popular district of Delfshaven. The Lock of Love ritual has been taking place all over the world, and is now here in Rotterdam as well. Not just a rail on a bridge or a chain around a lamppost, this [...]
My father (seated center) and his band, The Morticians, in the ruins of Moxham’s Castle (1966) Today an old friend of the family posted these photos of my father and his band, The Morticians, on Facebook. They were taken in the mid to late 60’s. I’ve heard a lot about the band my father played [...]
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 [...]
Today I am in the best mood. I’m not sure why, considering I was dragged out of a dead sleep by the cramps from hell… which ordinarily would leave me in a positively foul mood, but I won’t question it! It’s a dark, grey, rainy and dreary day today in the Netherlands and instead of [...]
God I’ve been meaning to write about this for ages but I’ve been so busy the last while with my friend Penny being in town and a few other things that have been going on (that I will write about soon), my blog has suffered. Anyhow, a while back my mother in law asked for [...]
Today two of my favorite people in the world are celebrating their 36th wedding anniversary… my parents! This photo was taken three years before I was born when my parents were almost 10 years younger than I am now.
I love my mom and dad, but I’ve decided that they’ve passed down some pretty rotten genes. I have my great grandmother from my mother’s side, Grannie’s, ass. I know this because my sister has the same ass as me and Grannie is the only person I can think of when I go up the [...]
It’s Wednesday and I’m writing this now and pre-dating it for Thursday as my very first FOAD Thursday post, because I know if I don’t by tomorrow I’ll forget I was ever pissed off about it. I decided to join in the Foad fun when I came across a post on someone elses blog that [...]
So, I did some shopping online for presents for my mom and dad. From what I saw on the website, it would arrive after the 21st of Dec, by the 27th at the latest. Today I got two emails saying that they’ve been sent and will arrive January 3rd and 6th. WHAT THE FUCK?! *Sigh* [...]
Today a friend sent me an MSN and demanded I write a blog so he has something to read while at work today. The pressure! I don’t actually have a whole lot to write about. I could ramble on about the usual day to day life but I’m sure most who read my blog (all [...]
I have urges, and I think they have something to do with my age. Turning 30 has not only made me somewhat panicky about whether we are going to be able to start a family, more aware of the grey (not even grey, WHITE) hairs growing on my head… but now I have the urge [...]
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since my last I LoveThe Fall photos and posts. This is one of my favorite times of year for so many different reasons. I always get the feeling like I should be out buying pencils and getting in as many bike rides as I can before the [...]
