So Xander has been gone for four days now and I’m still surviving, actually I think the time alone has done me some good! I’ve made plans with friends and done more housework than I usually do when he is around (huh?!) I wonder why that is/ MISS MY PERIOD KEY I am a habitual dot dot dot’er and it’s …

Naw, I’m not pregnant, I just have no PERIOD key/ So I have to use a slash every time I want to stop a sentence/ Pretty sure my laptop is on it’s last legs at the moment, considering my lack of periods and the amount of crashes I get each day/ Saw an interesting article on a gaming forum today/ …

Mom told me yesterday that the first day of spring is March 20, which isn’t too far away now. Another winter in NL under my belt and it was not as good as last winter but not as bad as other ones. I didn’t do much of anything, stayed around home and gamed and felt ‘bleh’. I play far too …

Yesterday I was talking to my friend Gail and apparently there have been some issues with my website being dreadfully slow lately. She said it kept hanging on some “nerdsonsite” thing, which was the counter on the top of the bar to the left that used to say “Currently Visiting” and then show the number of visitors on my site …

Little self-scold there… seeing as I’ve been such a crap blogger lately. Not a whole lot new here. Been working on my quilting a lot and doing some knitting.. my scarf should be done just in time for when I’ll need it hehe. This is the example of the block I’m working on this week. I’ll pop a pic up …

Yeah, who knew that beer could get moldy. It was a “You know it’s time to clean up when.. ” moment for me today when I saw a glass on the end table next to my sofa with moldy beer in it. I’ve been so incredibly lazy with my housework lately. My back has only started to feel somewhat normal …

I was looking online at Netflix and am so jealous that we don’t have it here in NL. I’d totally subscribe if we did! We have a few cheap immitations but nothing that compares at all. I looked up a few different old movies just to see if they had them but they didn’t. I tried titles like The Parent …

I am in so much pain today :( Yesterday I went to the shop with “Willie” to pick up some more tiles as we decided to have the toilet done as well as our bathroom. You see, here in the Netherlands it’s not uncommon for the toilet to be totally seperate from the bathing/showering area. So in our flat we …

This weekend the guy came to look at our bathroom again and start the process of renovating it. Our bathroom really isn’t that big, it’s just the shower and sink really.. because here in NL they usually have the toilet seperate. We needed 15 square meters of tiles, if that gives you any idea of the size. Anyhow we went …

The other day I had a problem with my computer when I was trying to patch my game. Xander helped me out with it and when he checked that the game was working he asked if he could make a character. I figured what the hell, Xander hates games anyway.. I’ll let him make his little character and he’ll lose …

I’m in Den Haag now in the beginning of my eight day petsitting gig with Gus and Ike. They are both snoozing soundly on the sofa at the moment while I sit here with my feet up watching the pre-show of the MTV Movie awards. It’s approximately 28-30 degrees outside here at the moment and the back garden feels like …
