Nosy Texan

So, my classes are awesome. The content at the moment is easy, as I already know most of it. My teacher said she thinks I might need to skip up a few levels because I’ll get bored in this one. I told her I’d rather just do it from the start so I don’t miss anything. They are using this …

Going Dutch

I hate when I break a nail really low where it’s still sort of attached. It stings and hurts anytime it gets wet or when I touch anything. Not to mention it ruins my nailpolish! Yeah, I’ve been having one of those girlie phases where I keep painting my finger and toenails and plucking the crap out of my eyebrows. …

Bulletholes

I had the weirdest dream last night. Not that most of my dreams aren’t weird, at least the ones I remember.Tuesday I went on an excursion with my class. Apparently this thing I’ve been doing is just a “newcomers introduction” that you do until you get the letter telling you where your actual language lessons will be. So Tuesday they …

First Day of School

Yesterday I went for my first day of my lessons. Turned out it was just meant to be a quick meeting to sign the contracts for the course. There was only about six of us all together, not counting the husbands who tagged along. Silly me of course, I was like a 5 year old with her daddy. “No Xander …

European Freak Boots

Well once again I’m writing this while I have no internet. I don’t know what has been happening lately, whether it’s our wireless or the internet itself but it’s really unstable. That can be a pain for someone like me who is constantly downloading things.I was just watching Suddenly Susan and they were bowling. Todd goes to pick up his …

Back to School

Yesterday we went to see the mortgage people again to see about buying this place we are living in. It still seems a bit strange for me to pay an amount that could get a large house with a swimming pool back home, to buy a 2 bedroom condo/apartment here. This is one of those times I need to not …

I’ll have to wait for Xander to get up and fix it.Been thinking a lot about giving this website a makeover. The last few times I’ve looked at it I was sickened by all this teddybear crap. It’s SO …

Beautiful Basenjis

This is Gus and Ike, the dogs I’m petsitting this weekend while their owners are in London. They are Basenjis which is a breed that originates in Africa. They are so sweet and easy to care for, I really love being here with them. The thing I find most strange about them is that they never bark. They are actually …

Blog-Lazy

I’ve been so blog-lazy lately. I figured if I didn’t write today that Shirley Ann would fly over here and lay a beating on me. Heck, even my mother scolded me because I haven’t written lately. The pressure!! Anyhow, Bailey just got dropped off for a haircut. He really needed one badly because he was getting smelly and looked like …

Passion of Christ

I’ve been in a pretty foul mood all day. There’s no reason for it but no way to get out of it either. I can’t be arsed with the housework, can’t be arsed to go for a walk or a bike ride, and I can’t be arsed with my diet. The witch is IN!! The only thing saving me and …

Hoek van Holland

Today is my mom and dad’s anniversary! They’ve been married for 32 years.. wow! That’s pretty great by today’s standards where divorce runs rampant. I put it on my calendar here on my website, making sure I didn’t forget!I forgot. I swear, I’m the most forgetful person I know, unless I forgot the other one. *Sigh* Anyway thankfully my parents …
