London Bound... 2007-03-02 16:30:22 We're going to London tomorrow to celebrate our anniversary. I'm really looking froward to it. I've had an on going love affair with London since moving here. I find it to be a magical place and wish we could live... Read more:Bound
Tornadoes In 3 States 2007-03-02 09:45:52 There's someone I care for that lives in a state in 'tornado alley'. Since moving here, when ever there's a tornado that hits, they only announce that the US was hit. Today, they said 3 states in America were hit... Read more:Tornadoes

My second favorite Canadian 2007-03-01 15:17:28 To not leave anyone out - my 2nd favorite Canadian
also reminds me of the lead singer of a band - he reminds me of the lead singer from Five for fighting and if he sends a picture too, we'll...
My favorite Canadian 2007-03-01 13:38:08 A couple a weeks ago, I wrote about my favorite Canadian
reminding me of the lead singer of the Ordinary Boys. Being quite a few years since I've seen him, I wasn't sure if my memory was very reliable or...
My blog's new look 2007-02-28 15:49:24 If you notice things look a bit different, it's because I've had a load of commenting issues with my old movable type blog (mainly issues with junk comments and spamming). It's gone on too long so I've switched to TypePad....
Our Anniversary 2007-02-26 14:56:54 Today is me Wayne's wedding anniversary. Two years ago today we were in Jamaica exchanging our vows (oh how I wish I was there today). To celebrate, we're going to London this weekend for dinner a play and we'll most... Read more:Anniversary
Out in the world again... 2007-02-25 11:26:54 It felt like forever since I left the house! With the bridge on the harbour closed for repairs this week (and the walk around too long to do by foot - in the winter months anyway) I didn't leave the...
Pond Hopper face lift 2007-02-23 17:28:19 I've given the Pond Hopper site a face lift. It really needed to be done for quite some time, but with work and life, it's been at the bottom of my priority list. The Expat Blog List has been updated...
Comment Issues! 2007-02-22 23:34:30 I've just realized that all of my comments were being junked by movable type for the last 3 weeks or so. My junk comments are automatically deleted after 7 days, so I have no idea how many comments I wasn't... Read more:Comment

Been qiuet - I know... 2007-02-21 09:44:45 I know I've been really quiet since the 'American Special' aired. I guess it got me down and I've been withdrawn. I just can't help but take it personally. I think I've seen it as another rejection by this country....
It's crazy time again 2007-03-08 10:46:26 I just cried watching the TV show, Bones this morning. This can only mean one thing - it's that time again. That time of the month that I get emotional and girlie for no apparent reason. That time I can't...
Our weekend in London 2007-03-07 14:30:24 Our weekend in London was wonderful. We had a really great time and I'm so glad we stayed over night. We stayed in the Crown Plaza hotel and it was fabulous. The room was small, but the whole place was...
My 2nd favorite Canadian cont. 2007-03-07 11:42:00 Last week, I wrote about my favorite Canadian
s and how they remind me of random musicians. They have both given photos so I can see how reliable my memory is (it's been years since I've seen either of them). Here...
Who's this selling to? 2007-03-09 11:12:48 I have to ask - Does this ad make anyone want to buy a handbag?? The only thing it did for me was make me feel bad about myself. On my best day, a handbag isn't covering any section of... Read more:selling
New Music Added 2007-03-08 19:10:21 I've updated my music area with a new song. This week's choice is Hide Seek by Imogen Heap. I heard it during the pilot of the TV Show 'Smith' which they just started playing in the UK. I was instantly... Read more:Music

Defeated 2007-03-10 11:57:06 I had an experience last night that I just can't get out of my head. I wanted to let it go; I wanted to sweep it under the rug and not let it bother me, but it has and this...
What a difference the sun makes 2007-03-13 15:43:35 I think spring has arrived. The winters here seem to last 6 months and in that time it's more dark and grey than anything else. Sunday, the sun came out strong and it's been nice ever since. What a lift... Read more:difference

What I take personally 2007-03-14 20:30:24 Someone recently said that they wonder why it is I take it so personally every time someone here says anything negative about the US Government. My answer to that is - I don't. I agree whole heartedly with what most...
One of those days 2007-03-15 15:29:57 It's been one of those days - One of those days that I'm feeling really alone here. I had a really crap morning. Nothing really terrible, but not a way to start the day. My cat Alfie (my problem child)...
Brighton today 2007-03-17 14:59:10 We're going into Brighton
today. It's a popular, trendy shore town on the south coast that reminds me of England meets New York City and any up scale shore town in Jersey. There are loads of shops, a shopping mall,...
Brighton Yesterday 2007-03-18 16:16:38 We went into Brighton
yesterday. Brighton is a trendy, artsey town that reminds me of England meets New York City and any up scale shore town in Jersey (it also happens to be the Gay capitol of England - not... Read more:Yesterday
Back we'll go - I think 2007-03-19 11:24:55 Last night I listened to Wayne tell his mother about our plans to try to move back to the States (I don't think
Mother's day was the best day to break the news, but men don't always consider such things)....
OH NO! 2007-03-20 13:53:06 I actually gasped when I saw this picture (Damn you, Heat magazine)! Say it isn't so! What's become of Mr Kilmer?? I just saw him in person not so long ago and I can say for sure - that belly...
Ohhh, Now I get it! 2007-03-21 20:55:52 When I wrote the entry below, I didn't realize that the article I wrote about was actually written by a British expat living in NY (opposed to an American fluent in English). The expat was making fun of fellow Brits...
Can't we all just get along? 2007-03-21 15:43:14 This article was sent to me by a fellow Jersey girl that reads my blog (thanks to her for sending it). She sent it to give me a laugh. I have to admit that I did laugh out loud (especially... Read more:along

Come on Spring! 2007-03-22 14:13:15 It appears that winter has reared it's ugly head and kicked Spring
's ass into submission. It's been really cold this week and the wind chill is quite awful in this area. Not two weeks ago, I was doing my workouts...
