Mediterranean Cruise Day 1: Venice, Italy

We have been home from our cruise for two weeks and I can’t speak for Xander, but I want nothing more than to click my heels, go back in time and do it all over again!  It was wonderful and far surpassed even my wildest expectations.  I was so worried going into this holiday that we were going to regret …

The Things You Don’t Expect Post-WLS

A friend of mine posted a video on our little WLS group today and I literally laughed out loud.  I can relate to every single thing the girl says in this video and I applaud her for making things that suck so damn bad be so funny. Though she goes about it in such a funny way, you may think …

The Best Year Ever – In Photos!

Something I really wanted to include in my 1 year post-op update was a video slideshow of everything that has taken place over the past year.  It turned out to be way more work than I was expecting (self imposed, of course!) so I did my update and saved it for later.  I would have loved to include lots of …

Call Me Maybe!

[youtube id=”u6CXMwuPbYM” width=”600″ height=”350″] It’s a beautiful Saturday morning and Xander and I are trying to figure out what the heck we want to do. Go for a walk in a park somewhere? Go to a beach? Go for a bike ride? Hang home and chill?  No idea. We are both in that weird sort of mood where we both …

How The Dutch Got Their Bicycle Paths

[youtube id=”XuBdf9jYj7o” width=”600″ height=”350″] A friend shared this on Facebook yesterday and I found it so interesting.  I had no idea there was such a history behind how we got our bicycle paths.  I think it’s wonderful that there are so many biking paths in the country and that cyclists can travel safely.  Something that is sorely missing in Canada, …

The Visual Style of the Wire

While looking through my feeds this morning I saw an interesting link on Dooce.com.  When I saw The Wire mentioned I had to check it out. Beware! Before watching, there are possible spoilers in the video!

BBC’s Horizon – The Truth About Fat

Last night a few friends messaged me to let me know about a program that was going to be on BBC.  All I knew was that they were discussing obesity and gastric bypass, so I knew it was something I’d have to check out. I’m so glad I did!  My husband came in and watched it with me and we …

Dr. Oz on Gastric Bypass

For now, I just want to share some videos that I found really interesting.  Everyone seems to rave about this Dr. …

[youtube id=”y4yDNWlvK6s” width=”600″ height=”350″] This morning I was catching up on my news feed when I saw this video on Dooce and it had me roaring with laughter. I so wish we got her show here in Holland, perhaps I need to start downloading it. I may end up divorced if I don’t wear my head phones though, my husband …

A Day in the Life of Stella

[vimeo id=”8327538″ width=”600″ height=”350″] What a life!  When I die I want to go back in time and come back as Stella. I figure if reincarnation is possible then time travel must be too. This is such a great video!  I’d love to make something like that for a day in the life of Bailey or Pixel.  Get a photo …
