More Blasts From My Past

More Blasts From My Past

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’m Gonna Live Forever!

I’m Gonna Live Forever!

Baby remember my name!

FAME!!
Ok, normally I’m not one for remakes.  I heard they are remaking  Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Footloose, which makes me go uuuuugh, and I’m absolutely dreading the day they even TRY to remake a great one like Dirty Dancing.
I can’t help it, I am really looking forward to this one.   [...]

Nine Years and Still Kickin’!

Nine Years and Still Kickin’!

This photo of me and my  husband was taken almost 9 years ago in Paris.  We felt so grown up but look at us, we were babies!  I’d just turned 25 the week before and I was a wife!   We were so cute though, still in that stage where we called each other Mr. and [...]

Five Years of Canadutch

Five Years of Canadutch

Yesterday was the five year anniversary of this blog.   It started out on May 2, 2004 when I was anxiously awaiting my upcoming trip to Canada.  I’d not been home in almost four years so I was long overdue.  Now here I am, five years later… looking back on it like it was just yesterday!
In [...]

Pixel – 11 Months

Pixel – 11 Months

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 [...]

15 Years Ago - How Life Has Changed

15 Years Ago – How Life Has Changed

I saw this on Facebook and thought I’d put it on here instead, I love these memory lane type of memes!   Man, I’ve been meme-ing a lot lately!  Forgive me!
**** 15 YEARS AGO (1994) **** 1) How old were you?  — 18 2) Who were you dating?  –  [...]

My Old Man

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 [...]

Bathroom Reno Part 1 - Shower

Bathroom Reno Part 1 – Shower

I was just thinking about some upcoming redecoration that is going to be taking place here and I got to thinking about the house and how it’s changed again.  I started wondering if I’d ever shared our bathroom renovations.   I searched the blog for toilet, bathroom renovation, bathroom before and after and a few other [...]

LOOT!

LOOT!

Today Xander had to go in to the office for a few minutes.  He is on a new project with the government in Dordrecht and the first day he was there he went to hunt and gather for lunch.  He phoned me telling me that there was a quilt shop around the corner, and a [...]

36 Years Together

36 Years Together

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.

Back When I Knew Everything

Back When I Knew Everything

This was me once, when I was 15 years old, in 9th grade.
My boyfriend’s name was Aaron Tuck, I have no idea where he is now but wherever it is I’m sure he’s causing lots of heartache to some poor woman who loves him desperately regardless.
I thought I was massively fat, even though I’d love [...]

The Falls

A few years ago, actually… more like 15 years ago (ugh!) my friend Peggi and I went out for a drive and were looking for some nice places to take pics. We drove about 15 minutes away from home and found these really nice waterfalls tucked in off an old dirt road. [...]

Gotta Love Facebook

Last year I wrote a blog about The Best Day of Summer 1996 from an old blog entry.  I was looking back to where I was 10 years before.
To sum it up, where I was 10 years before was spending the day driving around the Cabot Trail with my friend Peggi [...]

Best Friends Forever

That’s what I once told a boy I loved…
I noticed some videos on YouTube today from someone called Lonleygirl15 and her friend Danielbeast.
It would seem that this girl, LG15, has pretty strict parents. She appears to spend a lot of time in her room, is homeschooled and isn’t allowed to do much. She has a [...]

Colors of Home

Yesterday I returned the Creative Camera and got the Logitech Camera back with a powered USB hub. The camera didn’t work. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with the people from Logitech (Who were as useless as tits on a bull!) and with the makers of this laptop (Who were [...]

Please, be real!

The moral of THIS story is… BE YOURSELF! Not what you think people will like you for, not what you think will make people do what you want them to do, just who you are.You probably think I sound like a raving weirdo but but seriously, the longer I’m on the internet the more [...]

Well the weekend is over and it was awesome! Friday night we went to my dad’s cousin Brenda’s place.. it was just the family and we had some pizza and a few drinks. Her daughter Leanne is a few years younger than me and got married while I was away (in August) so I [...]
