On Wednesday night Xander and I were going out to see Star Trek – OMG What an awesome movie!!! – and I was getting cranky because he was rushing me.   Also because I was sleep deprived… AND PMSing.  Seriously, he should have known better. Anyhow, as I ran around getting dressed and brushing my teeth, I was mumbling and bitching …

Random photo from some smarter people than us. This is what I see for my future.  A world where I am not even 40 yet and am already sleeping in twin beds.  It’s 4:51am as I write this and I’ve already been awake for an hour.  I am at the end of my rope.  I don’t even remember the last …

Last night in bed my husband and I had the following conversation about my birthday. Xander: Happy Almost Birthday!! Me: *Sigh*  Only a half hour left of my youth… Xander: Oh the daaaah-RAHMAAA!! Me: It’s true.  Tomorrow I’ll be 34, and do you know what that means?  Next year I’ll be 35! Xander: All that and you can count too?  …

… but for today, I’m all about the grrrrr. Another amusing, yet frustrating, addition to the Stupid Spats section of my site. Honden Niet Uitlaten This morning my husband was going out with the dogs for their morning walk.  He asked me if I wanted to join him and I decided this would be a good chance for me to …

A snippet from my Spats section: Dogs Balls – Repeated Since Bailey turned six months old Xander and I have had an ongoing argument about his balls. I want to get him fixed, Xander doesn’t. Now I understand it’s just male instinct to want to preserve all testicles on the planet, but there must be limits. Where I come from …

Honestly girls, why do we keep attempting to do this?   I know my husband hates shopping but I still drag him with me when I need to go.   Of all the wife-lessons I’ve learned, this is one I consistently have trouble with.   Not that I go shopping all that often of course, but when I do… by god he’s coming …

If I didn’t know better I’d think there was a war taking place in Rotterdam these past few days.   As we get closer to the New Year, more and more fireworks are being sold in the city, and more people are setting them off early.   It starts in the early morning with the firecrackers and once it gets dark you …

The other night in bed my husband and I had another disagreement on how you say something.  Here’s how it went… Hubby: Oh man last night I slept so …. fast! Me: How do you sleep fast?  You mean the time went by quick? Hubby: No, like I slept like a rock! Me: Oh, you mean deeply! Hubby: Yeah! Me: Well …

Yesterday when Xander and I were in the car, we were driving along the Maas and saw a yacht going by.  Then we got to discussing yachts and boats and how great it must be to have one. I made a comment about how it would be nice to go for a ride in a yacht someday or how nice …

As some might remember, one of the things Xander and I disagreed on was the topic of sleeping with earplugs. He thought it was great, I thought it was not-so great because someone could come in and kill me and he’d never hear it…. although, that could be the reason he wears them, who knows! Anyhow, it’s true… I’ve been …

Well I’m home again, the eight days in Den Haag flew by and I managed to hang out there by myself without getting too bored or into any trouble. I don’t really have much news to report. It’s the same old thing here.. gaming, hanging out with hubby, trying to make babies, working on the house (ok not so much) …
