Kicking Winter’s Ass

Over the years I’ve had a lot of issues with seasonal depression.  Not something I’ve ever suffered from in Canada, but it hit me quick and hard here in the Netherlands.   I wasn’t expecting it but it happened, and it continued to happen for the past 10 years.  Granted, for the first half of that time I was often quite …

Things I Love Today

Today I am in the best mood.  I’m not sure why, considering I was dragged out of a dead sleep by the cramps from hell… which ordinarily would leave me in a positively foul mood, but I won’t question it! It’s a dark, grey, rainy and dreary day today in the Netherlands and instead of feeling sad and blue I …

Our Lives on Canvas

God I’ve been meaning to write about this for ages but I’ve been so busy the last while with my friend Penny being in town and a few other things that have been going on (that I will write about soon), my blog has suffered. Anyhow, a while back my mother in law asked for some photos of us because …

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.

Bad Genes!

I love my mom and dad, but I’ve decided that they’ve passed down some pretty rotten genes. I have my great grandmother from my mother’s side, Grannie’s, ass.  I know this because my sister has the same ass as me and Grannie is the only person I can think of when I go up the family tree that had one …

FOAD Thursday – Stupidass Smoker Jokes

It’s Wednesday and I’m writing this now and pre-dating it for Thursday as my very first FOAD Thursday post, because I know if I don’t by tomorrow I’ll forget I was ever pissed off about it. I decided to join in the Foad fun when I came across a post on someone elses blog that reminded me of something I …

Canadutch Goes Live!

I’m finally free of the flowers and girlie shit, aaaah it feels good! I was at the point where I had no interest in writing in my blog because I really hated my site, that’s sad. Not anymore though! A new look and a new name, and so much easier to work with! Except plugins and widgets, I’m still struggling …

Shopping Online is the Devil!

So, I did some shopping online for presents for my mom and dad. From what I saw on the website, it would arrive after the 21st of Dec, by the 27th at the latest. Today I got two emails saying that they’ve been sent and will arrive January 3rd and 6th. WHAT THE FUCK?! *Sigh* Nothing I can do about …

In Demand

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 (all what.. 2.. 3 of you? …

What’s Happening?

I have urges, and I think they have something to do with my age. Turning 30 has not only made me somewhat panicky about whether we are going to be able to start a family, more aware of the grey (not even grey, WHITE) hairs growing on my head… but now I have the urge to knit?! I have these …

Autumn is Here!

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since my last I LoveThe Fall photos and posts. This is one of my favorite times of year for so many different reasons. I always get the feeling like I should be out buying pencils and getting in as many bike rides as I can before the snow. I love going out …
