Happy Mother Lover Day!

Ok this video is not for kids, nor is it for people who are easily offended.  Just sayin’, don’t say I didn’t warn you! This is the latest installment from Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg (from The Lonely Island).  You may remember a previous video from these two.  A little ditty called Dick in a Box. There’s just something hilarious …

Blowing Out The Candles

It’s funny how the little things stand out to you.  Yesterday Xander came home with a strawberry tart for my birthday with chocolate and whipped cream.  He decorated it with candles and brought it in to me after dinner.  It was so sweet, and yummy! Normally, we don’t make such a big deal about birthdays.  This is the first time …

The Single Bed Solution

Random photo from some smarter people than us. This is what I see for my future.  A world where I am not even 40 yet and am already sleeping in twin beds.  It’s 4:51am as I write this and I’ve already been awake for an hour.  I am at the end of my rope.  I don’t even remember the last …

Me: It’s true.  Tomorrow I’ll be 34, and do you know what that means?  Next year I’ll be 35! Xander: All that and you can count too?  …

They’re Everywhere!

Isn’t it typical that just when I am starting to think about trying to lose weight, I am being haunted by KFC?  -  It’s EVERYWHERE! Yesterday I got up and checked my favorite celeb gossip site and saw a write-up about how Oprah has Americans everywhere running to KFC to use the printable coupon she’s offered on her website. For …

Phalanges … Dancing Phalanges!

Bones is one of my favorite shows, and in the latest episode Dr. Brennan gets a bit of baby fever.  Watching her try to be maternal and relate to babies is hilarious.   Even more hilarious than than when she tries to relate to adult humans. The whole baby fever thing is something I can totally understand, as my husband and …

It’s All Inconclusive

Well the blood work came back and the only thing that showed up was that my glucose was high.  I phoned the doctor and was surprised when All In Your Head Doc’s wife answered.   She was the ‘nice’ one (if you use a really wonky scale of what is nice, I mean).  Here’s the conversation: “Hello this is *Name*Birthday* calling …

Five Years of Canadutch

Yesterday was the five year anniversary of this blog.   It started out on May 2, 2004 when I was anxiously awaiting my upcoming trip to Canada.  I’d not been home in almost four years so I was long overdue.  Now here I am, five years later… looking back on it like it was just yesterday! In the past five years …

Practice in Street Photography

A few years ago I wrote about another blogger who was photographing strangers in public to ridicule them, which was something I disagreed with very strongly.   It brought up a lot of questions in regards to taking photos of people in public.   My personal opinion was that it was ok, that people in public are fair game, as long as …

I Know I’ll Laugh Tomorrow

… but for today, I’m all about the grrrrr. Another amusing, yet frustrating, addition to the Stupid Spats section of my site. Honden Niet Uitlaten This morning my husband was going out with the dogs for their morning walk.  He asked me if I wanted to join him and I decided this would be a good chance for me to …

Noah’s First Birthday

Saturday we went to Roosendaal for Noah’s first Birthday.   It’s hard to believe he’s a year old already.  I am shocked by it, so I can only imagine how much Penny and Yuri must be wishing they could stop time.  Every time I see him he’s changed so much and is doing so many new things.  I almost fell over …
