Summer is here!

Today it was a whopping 27 degrees here in Rotterdam, and we don’t have our screens on the windows yet. Whew, it’s warm in here! We can’t open the windows wide because of the animals. I’d hate for one of my little fluffies to end up taking a three story drop. I’ll have to make a point to paint the …

Priorities

My priorities are totally FUBAR. The things I think are important aren’t, the things I think aren’t.. are. I’ve always been that way.. I want things other people have, I don’t want the things I do have. I’m like a 5 year old child and the world is my toystore. It sucks. I keep thinking I’ll grow out of it …

Barbie Meets The Stepford Wives

That’s what Simon said Carrie Underwood reminded him of on American Idol this week. I roared with laughter because that’s exactly what I thought the minute she walked out on stage. Don’t get me wrong, I love the girl and I think she has a huge chance of winning the competition but this week.. oh my! I decided to play …
