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 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 [...]
This has been a bad few weeks for me pet wise and anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows that I love my pets and it breaks my heart when anything happens to them.
First there was Bailey’s attack by a pit bull, which frightened the life out of me and has [...]
I recently decided to pick up the wildly popular series of Twilight books. I’ve heard so much about them but always had other things I wanted to read first. When the movie came out, I felt a bit pressed for time, because I really wanted to see the movie, but not without reading the books [...]
While my parents were here we took them to the Rotterdam Zoo. I really love that place. I went there one other time with some girlfriends but even in the 1.5 years since I’ve been there, so much has changed.
My (sort of) favorite change is that they have POLAR BEARS. I was so excited I [...]
If you had asked me a month ago if I had any space in my house I would have laughed. Between me, the pets, my husband and all our furniture I felt like we were completely crowded.
I SO wish I felt that way again right now.
My parents left this morning and if I’m honest, I [...]
This afternoon I watched the latest episode (208 – Close Enough to Touch) of McLeod’s Daughters and it was the most tearjerkingest (that’s a word, right? :P) episode I’ve ever seen.
I won’t get into what happened because I know my mother won’t be able to stop herself from reading this, and she is a few [...]
I have had a headache for that last week straight. Sometimes it’s killer, other times it actually feels like it’s going away. I think it’s all the stress since we came back from holiday, but thankfully all the things we’ve been stressing over have been sorted out.
Some things aren’t worth mentioning, so I won’t get [...]
As you know, for a very long time I have been at odds with myself in regards to my cats. It’s hard when you love the cats themselves for their personalities and who they are, but hate everything that comes along with them. Every time I cleaned our flat and woke up the next morning [...]
I visited my friend Gail’s blog earlier and when I saw the title In Memory of Greg Leborgne I thought that it’s weird that there is another Greg Leborgne out there, as it’s not really a common name. I was in a state of denial as I read on, I knew it was him but [...]
Eish…
Last night I couldn’t sleep at all. I tossed and turned and couldn’t seem to get comfortable.. I got up at 5:30am and vegged in front of my laptop for a while and when I checked my email I found this:
Yeah. You don’t know me. I’m the younger brother of Jason Sheppard. [...]
Today Xander and I went out to a movie and lunch with some friends, it was well timed because I found myself unable to stop thinking about David and Gail. When I got home I heard through a mutual friend that David passed away at 1:15am this morning. There isn’t really [...]
The other day I got a package in the mail from my friends Gail and David, it was the coolest looking package.. wrapped in a map. When I opened it, it included an M&M figure full of tiny M&M’s, a big bag of Hershey Kisses, a desk calender about knitting and two CD’s [...]
For the first time in my life I think I’d cheer if I heard those words. Where is the Grinch when I need him..
I haven’t been able to get my Christmas spirit back at all. I’ve not done any shopping, haven’t bought any cards and my tree is standing in a corner looking [...]
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 [...]
I was looking over some old blogs from this time last year and can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by. My parents always told me that the older you get the faster the time goes by. If it goes this quick now I think I year will go by in [...]
Two really horrible things happened in the past few days.
I somehow managed to lose a longtime friend. It was a friend I first made years ago when I was playing Ultima Online and we spoke a lot and got to know each other very very well. I had been upset about not hearing [...]
If any of you out there are religious or have any other kind of spiritual connection .. send a little prayer or voodoo magic the way of my friend Gail and her soon-to-be husband David who are dealing with much bigger issues than tiles and toilets at the moment…
Love you guys and we’re thinking about [...]
There have been multiple bombings in London today. All taking place within the busses and underground of the city center. That’s pretty scary to think of all those people who were just doing their day to day activities, not having any idea that their bus would be bombed that day. [...]
