Tammy

A Canadian living in France with her Dutch hubby after 17 years in the Netherlands. A total TV and movie junkie who is never not knitting. She also enjoys other crafts, nail art, cuddling her dogs and general geekery. Otherwise just working on getting by and making a life for herself in her 'new' country.

Please, be real!

The moral of THIS story is… BE YOURSELF! Not what you think people will like you for, not what you think will make people do what you want them to do, just who you are.You probably think I sound like a raving weirdo but but seriously, the longer I’m on the internet the more I realize just how screwed up …

They are getting married this evening back in Nova Scotia, just one more event I’m missing while living over here. Mom will take lots of pics though, if she remembers the camera… which she better! Went camera crazy again …

Movie Maker

Yay it’s Friday! Truth be told, I only said that because everyone else does. Friday really isn’t any different than any other day for me now that I’m not working. I would say it’s because I’ll have Xander home on the weekend but that’s not really true either, he’s working from home yesterday, today and Monday. I love his job, …

Wierd Ex Dream

Wow this is the earliest I’ve written yet, but I’m in the mood so lets just go with it. Last night we went to bed early and there was a lot of moaning and groaning. No, not the kind you’d probably imagine… More like “It’s so hot! *Moan*” and “Don’t touch me! *Groan*”. Yeah, not exactly a romantic evening but …

Hot!HOt!HOT!

Good grief! It was 36 degrees (celcius) in Holland today. I swear to god I lost a few pounds today just from sweating so much! Attractive huh? I bet you’re reading this now and thinking I’m just so damn sexy! Well whatever, I’m too hot to care right now. It should be illegal for countries without air conditioning to get …

Walking Shoes

Wow, was I dramatic yesterday or what? Lets just blame my ovaries, shall we? (I blame them for everything, btw) So Friday night I went shopping and got a scale, found one that actually does pounds instead of kilos, which I like. It’s digital too… NO I’m not going to tell how much I weigh. Good grief! Talking about dieting …

Depressed About Depression

I really wish I had some honest and true friends I could talk to who wouldn’t judge, or try to tell me how easy things are when they aren’t. Who aren’t too wrapped up with their own lives to remember to say hello or get in touch. Someone who will just listen and be there… and make me feel like …

Walking My Ass Off

June is here and I have officially started my diet. So far so good, I’ve been getting up at 5:30-6am and going walking, and have even been doing my aerobics video. Well only twice so far but I’ve only been dieting for two days. I lasted 20 minutes with the video yesterday before I was red faced and panting to …

The Joys of Travelling

Ok, don’t worry I’m calmer than I was yesterday. I decided to take my NL frustration and use it constructively and finally finish my Life in NL page. I enjoyed making it actually, and was pretty surprised that my like list was almost as long as my don’t like list.Yesterday morning Xander went to “walk the dog” which meant “Escape …

Jetlag

Well I’m back in Holland.. have been jetlagged as hell and woke up this morning to about 5 blobs of cat puke around the house. LOVELY!! After being at my parent’s house where everything is soooo clean and sooo nice, I’m fucking disgusted coming back to this house. No matter what I do, there is cat hair everywhere.. no matter …

Pet Turkey

Who keeps a turkey as a pet? Does this seem like a weird question or are turkeys just a regular ol’ pet and nobody told me? Yesterday we went for a drive around Millville and through the country, while we were driving along we see this: These people had this massive turkey on their front step! Truly, the pics do …
