I’m not sure if you remember but we don’t have any TV channels, not even the basics. We have TVs and we’ll rent movies or watch whatever we have, but I cut the TV a while ago. The girls were watching it all day. Dick would get sucked in as well and I almost never [...]

Jane, scissor sistah, breaks out the shears again. This time on Taylor.
My cousin Taylor has this incredibly LONG and THICK hair. She was looking for a change so I helped her out. Sometimes long and straight is kinda boring. We take quite a bit off. Those who choose to use me to cut their hair do so at their own risk as I have no formal [...]
How to cut a Pineapple…as painful as it is.
Occasionally, we will get a craving for pineapples. I prefer FRESH over CANNED (Healthier, no preservatives, not imported from China, no High Fructose Corn Syrup) and this is the season for it. However, cutting a fresh pineapple is a bit of a PAIN. Not too bad, but for someone like me who doesn’t usually like [...]
Not a fan of laptops but starting to change my mind.
At Starbucks again. The weather these days is just perfect. I bring the hubby’s tiny laptop so that I can kill two birds with one stone (Not that I would ever intentionally try to kill a bird. Yes, I did peg that one bird but that was an accident.) I’m not a fan of laptops. [...]
Healthy Lunch: Tuna Fish Sandwiches.
We love tuna fish at our house. Tuna is a great source for Omega 3s and aside, from the mayo, it’s pretty healthy…even then, you can use LESS mayo. Remember how I like to make the Tuna Sushi for the girls? They also like tuna fish sandwiches, where I substitute regular mayo for the Japanese [...]
Mountain of Laundry = Housework = Insanity.
I’m not sure how it got to this point…well, yes I do. I just haven’t done it. Folded them that is. They’re clean. I dislike doing laundry very much. And, I have no qualms about sending my family out in public in wrinkled clothes. I may be anal about other things…laundry is not one of [...]
MUST WATCH: Man with no arms plays the piano.
I saw this header on my Yahoo! page and was intrigued. This young man, who lost his arms in a accident when he was 10, was on China’s version of our America’s Got Talent and showed what TALENT really is. It moved me to tears as well. I REALLY need to stop complaining about my [...]
Checking out cars.
Every once in a while, I like to go to the auction to check out the cars. Dick usually does it but I like to see what’s there and test drive them. I thought that Eminem, being a young man, would enjoy seeing all the different cars. He did. AUDI When we check out cars, [...]
Em discovers Jean Diapers on a late night run to Walmart.
My whole family is a family of LATE-NIGHTERS, minus Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, so, it’s great to have a 24-hour Super Walmart that is accessible to us. What are we looking to buy? Nothing in particular. Em spots Jean Diapers! “Sick!” Spoken like a true teenager. I just think it’s funny that my 18-year old [...]
You better WORK! – Ru Paul.
Warning visitors! If you come stay at my house, I may put you to work. I’m not opposed to child labor. LOL Anyway, Taylor loves helping. She really does! Em, on the other hand, is a bonafide ADULT. Plus, I’m right alongside them…cooking with Taylor, mowing the grass. They’re just ASSISTING! Yes, a little bit [...]
