Re: My first NHS experience... 2007-07-15 06:41:26 I've had a few responses to my NHS entry and feel I should make one important point I didn't mention. Many of my readers are expats that are here because they are married to British citizens. If you have a... Read more:experience
Crazy cat lady 2007-07-13 02:17:41 There's one thing that seems to be internationally known - crazy cat lady syndrome. You know - the lady in the neighborhood who lives alone, never sees anyone, has loads of cats and the they are the only ones you... Read more:Crazy

My new cookbook... 2007-07-22 11:53:45 I've been on a real recipe kick lately. I love to cook. I've been cooking all my life. My Mom would force me to help as a child and when I was a bit older and she went to work...
It's a shame 2007-07-25 04:07:42 I heard a song today that gave me a happy memory of an ex - an ex that's still one of my all time favorite people I've ever known. I wanted to write to him and say hello share my... Read more:shame

The early morning hours 2007-07-27 01:22:00 Sometimes I hate this time of day. The early morning hours of quiet isolation. This morning I stood at my back door having my morning cigarette (I know, I know I swear I'm quitting again) and my first cup of...
An old friend 2007-07-26 13:18:24 Last weekend, Wayne and I ran into an old friend
of ours. An old friend we don't speak to any more. I don't speak to him because he hurt me and Wayne doesn't speak to because he doesn't like anyone...
The in-laws are coming! 2007-08-01 10:43:30 My in-laws are arriving tomorrow. They're staying until Monday. I know it's awful, but I've been dreading their arrival for weeks. They're nice enough people, but I don't know them well. I see them only a few times a year...
What to write about? 2007-07-30 09:04:34 What do I write about today? Do I tell about the guy next to me at the grocery store this morning throwing up not once, but 3 times? Not something I need to share any further...Do I write about the...
My hypnosis session... 2007-08-08 01:59:57 I went to the hypnotist yesterday to quit smoking. I'm feeling ok. I've done this before and it worked for 2 1/2 years so I know it can work. I just have to get through the next couple of days... Read more:session
Photos of our town 2007-08-14 07:26:40 It's been a long time since I've shared any of my photography. Today, I updated my Photos Section with a a new album (called 'Our Town') of photos I took around our town while Wayne's parents were visiting earlier this...
A difficult week 2007-08-19 12:27:41 It's been a really emotional week. I got a tearful call from my sister last week telling me that her ex (her first big love and love of her life until now) committed suicide. They were high school sweethearts and...
The time has come 2007-08-22 03:33:41 After a long few months, it's time for Wayne and I to start trying for a baby again. To be honest, I've been tentative about this time coming. A few weeks ago, I was thinking that I didn't think I'd...
Some good news! 2007-08-21 07:20:42 I've had so much going on in the last few months that have just thrown me into a bit of a tailspin and I've been really down. The same week I had the miscarriage, I was given the news that...
Updates... 2007-08-21 06:32:24 It has been brought to my attention that I don't follow up on things I write about. I mention things that go on, but don't mention them again. Quite honestly, I didn't think there was enough interest to warrant it,...
Email Remorse 2007-08-20 09:36:43 I think there should be an automatic delay on sending personal emails to give you time to reflect and decide if it's something you really want to send. Or even a pop-up message that pops up saying - Are you... Read more:Email
Cherish yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow 2007-08-25 03:47:39 Yesterday, after writing about a friend that died many years ago, I had a comment by a reader that told me I must live in the present. Yesterday was not a good day to say this to me. It bothered... Read more:tomorrow

On this day... 2007-08-24 04:57:34 Today is a significant day for me. It was on this day 15 years ago, that I lost a friend - one of the best friends I've ever had. I write about him every year. I try not to talk...
Our London Trip (and Orlando Bloom) 2007-09-04 10:45:26 Our trip to London was fabulous. We had a really great time. We were only supposed to be there 1 night, but we were having such a wonderful time we decided to stay another night. We left Saturday morning and... Read more:Orlando

Recovering 2007-10-22 14:11:01 This is just a short note to say I've just come home from the hospital after a week's stay and an emergency surgery I went through last week. I know it's been a long time since I've blogged and I've...
The whole sorted story... 2007-10-29 09:00:57 I'm waiting for the visiting nurse to come and change the dressing on my incision so I can take a shower. Showers are a luxury these days, but what I want most is to be able to bend over and... Read more:story
Amazing! 2007-11-05 05:31:08 I had my 3 month ultrasound today and the first phase of the test I wrote about last week. What an amazing experience it was! I didn't expect the baby to look so much like a baby yet. I just... Read more:Amazing
Really emotional today 2007-11-01 07:22:42 I'm really emotional today. I have an ultrasound on Monday followed by a consultation for a test I have to have done which will take place within days of the ultrasound. The test is called CVS testing. It's a test...
Going Home! 2007-11-07 04:59:24 Last night, I booked our trip home for Christmas! I'm so excited because this year we'll be going for nearly a month (25 days to be exact)! We'll be leaving on Dec 17th and coming back on Jan 10th. It's... Read more:Going
A quick update... 2007-11-21 09:36:50 I just wrote an entire entry that I deleted because I haven't written in a while and I didn't think I should start by complaining. We moved on Friday and long story short - my hideous neighbor that lived next...
Technology and human interaction 2007-11-30 03:37:54 I just watched the movie, 'You've Got mail'. It reminded me of a time when email was different - when people took the time to say something real. I guess then it was still a novelty. It seems these days... Read more:Technology

An attempt at normalcy 2007-11-29 09:49:14 In an attempt
to feel like a part of the outside world, I went out today and ran some errands. I did my hair and make-up and went to the shops. I bought some flowers just because and walked around...
Life as I know it... 2007-11-28 00:57:38 It's 6am. I don't sleep well these days. I don't think I've slept a good night in months. I know I don't write as often as I should, but I find it difficult lately to find the words for what...
Thin Walls 2007-12-07 07:02:15 It's odd waking up to the voice of a stranger. The walls are really thin in this house and I am often woken up by my neighbors. Some nights it's in the wee hours of the morning that I'm woken... Read more:Walls
