Trying to avoid getting pushed off the ledge to see rooftop views of the G20 Protest.
By Jane on July 12, 2010
THE ROOF In search of some worthy protest excitement, we turn the corner and then we see a bunch of people heading up the stairs to this building nearby. My aunt doesn’t want to go but as you can see, MIA is urging her. She is successful. But once we get up there, we see [...]

The Geek Squad at Best Buy has hijacked my iMac for repair of the harddrive. It’s so hard to be without my baby. Hopefully I’ll get it back today. -Jane, Mac-less

I Hop, U Hop, We All Hop for IHOP!
By Jane on August 30, 2009
We only eat out occasionally when I’m lazy to cook or there’s a special occasion. Today was a lazy day so we decide to take a bike ride out the INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES for breakfast. Now, I’m a mediocre, well almost novice bike rider. My limited riding in my childhood involved a used Pink Panther bike my mom Fanny Mae bought at a garage sale. My sister and I shared it and we took turns riding up and down my neighbor’s 200ft driveway. Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. You get the picture. Fanny Mae didn’t allow us to ride on the neighborhood streets for fear that we would get hit by cars.

If you’ve never tried Lenny’s Subs, you really MUST. It’s so deliciously yummy. I don’t really even know why…it’s so simple yet I absolultely crave a good Lenny’s Sub. However, when I’m too lazy to leave my bubble and head to the nearest Lenny’s, I make my own version of it at home. Using a [...]

As I said, while we were working, the girls were playing. Thelma especially loves to swing really high and then jump off. Louise, not so much. She is much more cautious. -Jane, Mother to Swinging/Jumping Girls.

Greed is the root of all evil.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
I have burnt my mouth and tongue taste testing food before it was ready. I can’t taste anything but that scratchy feeling in every bite. Now, the skin off the roof of my mouth is peeling as well. Greed really is the root of all evil. -Jane, Greedy Cook.

Introducing Color #2: From Hep Green to Reflecting Pool.
By Jane on March 8, 2010
After painting two coats of Sherwin William’s Hep Green Techno Color on the walls, I am very concerned. It’s TOO YELLOW GREEN. It looks nothing like the brochure. Calm down. It’s ok. Maybe you just have to get used to it. Plus, it’s time for the next color. REFLECTING POOL My projects are always a [...]

Jane fails first Glucose Test and must go in for the 3-hour Test. Ugh…
By Jane on March 4, 2011
So, I failed the preliminary Glucose Test but missed the mark marginally. I scored 152 and 140 is the limit. Still, they wanted me to go in for the extended Glucose Test, which lasts THREE HOURS and fasting is required…because telling a pregnant woman to starve herself is a good thing. After delaying and forgetting [...]

Headband Siblings. He works hard for his money!
By Jane on January 15, 2012
Flashback to Flashdance and the days of headbands. My girls never cease to want to embarrass and torture their little bro. He works hard for his money! So hard for it honey! He works hard for his money so you better treat him right! Poor thing. The lighting in this picture is not flattering for Benz’s [...]

The next day after the girls best friend, Kristen Stuart, leaves, Thelma wakes me up early in the morning again (this time not AS early…around 7:00 am) complaining that her stomach is still hurting again. Whhhhaaaaatttt? I thought we were done with all that! (Sorry no pics today, it was hectic enough without having to [...]

Building a Mr. & Mrs. Snowman. Introducing Mr. & Mr. Wilson.
By Jane on February 1, 2010
It’s the day after our “snow storm” and it’s SUNNY and warming up! With all the icicles melting off the trees, they all look like they are adorned with crystals and jewels with the light reflecting off the ice. Simply beautiful! Dick and the girls have been outside making snowmen. Louise has been helping Dick [...]

Hanging with our besties at the pool.
By Jane on July 30, 2011
We brave the weather and head to the pool with our besties despite it being a stormy, rainy day. June Cleaver and her kids come hang with us for a few hours. And here’s Fanny Mae, hanging with Benz as usual. And actually, without the sun, we don’t have to worry [...]

I love going to garage sales when I can find the time. It’s true. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. To me, if I can find something I love and need cheaper than if I were to buy it new, it’s even more valuable! It just so happens that Fanny Mae’s neighbor is having [...]

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]

Mama F: Crossword Puzzle Addict
By Jane on January 3, 2010
It is of no surprise that whenever you see Mama F, she is doing a crossword puzzle. I’m always amazed by how many of these she can do. AT HOME WHILE VISITING WITH FAMILY AT THE BEACH IN THE CAR?!?!? I could never do this in the car. I would get the biggest headache! Yes, [...]

The “Other” dish that Dick can cook: Meat-Sauce Spaghetti with Baby Bella Mushrooms.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Impromptu photo shoot while picking up Lucy at the airport for Labor Day.
By Jane on September 21, 2011
I’m so utterly behind on blogging that I’m just now posting our Labor Day weekend pics. This is me, waiting for dear sis to arrive at the airport. Today, I’m donning my Princess Leia hair look. The girls always want to come with me to pick up their Auntie. Somehow we ended up getting there [...]

It’s a small world. Random meetings result in a weird connection.
By Jane on February 2, 2010
Do you remember when I said that I met this lady at the park and she had locked herself out of her car? (Click HERE for the story.) Well, her and her girls sat in my car while they waited for a ride. So, we chatted while she was in the car. I find out [...]

Mean Mommie makes Louise cry while practicing piano.
By Jane on November 16, 2010
Thelma and Louise have started up piano lessons again. They have been taking lessons since they were 5-6 years old but hardly ever practice. And because we have so many things going on and a million other lessons, I haven’t enforced the practicing. However, I remember being a little more self motivated when I was a [...]
