Last weekend I got the coolest plant ever.. a Venus Flytrap! I’ve always wanted one, especially after a friend of mine got one and was saying how cool it was. Last Saturday Xander and I went to the market with a friend and while we were looking at plants there, I mentioned I wanted a Venus Flytrap. Being the kickass …

This morning I saw something in my last post that I think could easily be taken the wrong way: … where I come from if you don’t get your license when you turn 16 you’re weird. If you don’t have your own car by the time you are in your 20’s.. you’re just a complete loser. When I re-read that …

We are first time house owners.. this is getting more and more obvious with every step of “Operation Face-lift” for our new flat. We started out with these big dreams, thinking the money we budgeted into our mortgage would allow for these grand designs. Now after a few months we’re figuring out what desperately needs attention compared to what would …

I haven’t really been in much of a bloggy mood lately, probably because there hasn’t been a lot to talk about… or maybe there has and I’ve just not been arsed to sit down and write it all out. Either way, I’m still alive and I haven’t been informing anyone about it. One interesting thing happened not long ago, last …

Ever wonder what it’s like where I live? I found this website while chatting with a friend and looking for photos of Rotterdam. There’s lots of pictures from around the city on there, was a pretty good find.

Today my upstairs neighbour came pounding at the door. When Xander answered I could hear her panic and she was saying “I need Tammy!!” When I asked what was wrong she freaked out telling me something about her cat eating kittens. When I put all the pieces together I found out that she and her boyfriend were out for the …

That’s what Xander calls the kids across the street. Mean I suppose, but I still can’t help but laugh when he tells me “The Musical Mongos are on parade!”. It’s that time of year again, when they workers at the special needs school across the street start putting their patients outside for a little sun and fresh air. After an …

Yesterday I felt like I was on my very own episode of House Invaders, only a shitload more expensive! In House Invaders they go to your home and use things you have hanging around to make over your house. The difference is, we didn’t have anything hanging around to do it, so we had to buy tons of shit. Wow, …

Oh man am I ever getting sick. Within the last few hours I went from feeling perfectly fine to feeling like my head is going to explode. My throat hurts, my nose is stuffy and I can’t stop sneezing. I’m positively miserable! Xander came home last week and wasn’t feeling well, had a bit of a cold for about two …

This is one of the kids in my neighbourhood. Isn’t he a peach?! Whoever coined the term Poster child for birth control absolutely must have known this kid’s parents.As many of you know we live across a parking lot from a facility for the mentally handicapped. Outside this place they have a playground with big wooden swings, little pools, and …
