From Sunny LA to the freezing cold of the South!
By Jane on January 12, 2010
Yes, after being in Los Angeles for a month, we’re coming back home. We’ve just got off the plane and like I mentioned before, I’m ready to hop right back on and go back to LA. -IT’S FRIGGIN’ COLD!! Yes, LA is superficial and plastic but it’s also WARM and SUNNY! The days are around [...]

Jane uses a grinding wheel to sharpen her lawn mower blades.
By Jane on May 14, 2010
Here I was all ready to FINALLY cut my grass but now have been THWARTED (Definition THWART: to prevent someone from doing something) by Dick’s carelessness in leaving the string to his car tent lying around and now it’s wrapped itself around the blades of my mower. I can’t just unwind the string so I’m [...]

What are you going to get your sister for her birthday?
By Jane on December 10, 2009
Curious, I asked Louise about Thelma’s upcoming birthday. “So, what do you want to get Thelma for her birthday?” “I don’t know. Well…there is ONE thing …” “What is it?” “Well, I know she will love it but…I don’t think I want to get it for her…I might get jealous.” (Hesitantly) “You would?” “Yeah, because [...]

Smells like poo. Sh**! Literally!
By Jane on December 29, 2010
On our way home from picking up the Futon Mattresses, we’re in the car and I smell something weird. “I smell something.” Dick brushes it off as my sensitivity to smells from being pregnant. “I don’t smell anything. You’re nose is just sensitive right now.” We drive a little further. “Seriously, I smell something. Smells [...]

A blue pacifier lollipop may not be manly but definitely signs of a great dad.
By Jane on December 20, 2009
Mark Anthony is a super duper guy, husband, father and brother-in-law. I liked him immediately when I met him. He’s also quite funny and silly. Here Mark is enjoying one of those pacifier lollipops…a blue one. I LOVE this! Matching father-son blue tongues. Will is quite a character! Completely not shy, inquisitive and super intelligent. Carlton is [...]

Daddy combing baby Benz’s hair. Really???
By Jane on January 29, 2012
Dick was going to take Benz for a short walk around the block using the Baby Bjorn. Prior to leaving and being the pretty boy that he is, he stopped by the bathroom to make sure he was looking good now that he has an added accessory…our son. I then glance over and see Dick [...]

Middle man down! Injury on the job by a machete-potato peeler.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
There are certain hazards that come with the job. It’s just goes with the territory. Today, I sliced off a chunk of my skin peeling potatoes. It’s just the risk one takes when one is feeding one’s family. You don’t even think about it. You just do it. Yet another hazard in the throws of [...]

Drama ensues when the girls say good-bye to their friends.
By Jane on March 24, 2011
It’s the last day that our guests are in town and the girls are already dreading it from morning. Little did I know how bad it would get. HOMESCHOOL It’s a co-op day so I take all the kids to school together. Our co-op is awesome and our visitors can tag along with the girls [...]

Thelma and Louise in a Black Nissan 350Z.
By Jane on November 13, 2009
I had to take Thelma and Louise to “work” with me the other day. I had a meeting with the General Manager at one of the car auctions we go to and since there was no sitter (Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were both at work) they had to tag along. They really didn’t want [...]

Pregnancy Rhinitis is killing me. I hate not being able to breath through my nose.
By Jane on December 17, 2010
One of the things I detest most in life is having a stuffy nose and having to breath through my mouth. I feel like I’m eating all the dust particles in the air. Since being pregnant, it’s been non-stop stuffage of the nose. After doing some research, it turns out this actually a condition and is [...]

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl.
By Jane on December 22, 2010
As you can see, we’ve been through quite a few hairstyles. I can’t believe how much she’s grown. Almost makes me sad to see how fast time flies. I love you so much sweet thang. -Jane, Mother of Lovely Thelma.

Pressure washing my patio and anything else I want to make new again.
By Jane on April 23, 2010
My back patio is made of concrete and it’s in dire need of some maintenance. The patio sits on the north side so it also gets the LEAST amount of sun and even a little moldy over the winter. It’s also that time of year when all the spring “droppings” fall off the trees and [...]

By Jane on July 29, 2011
I’ve caved in an replaced my SHITTY HTC Freestyle with an iPhone. Yes, I know I said I refused o be forced into getting a smartphone but I realized after all the many troubles that I had with the Freestyle, that I would need a smartphone…and really, the only one I think suits me is [...]

Sushi date with our girls at a more “traditional” Japanese restaurant.
By Jane on January 17, 2012
With Benz being a baby and requiring a lot of attention, we decided the girls too need some alone time with their parents. Until Benz, it was just the four of us for the longest time so Dick and I took the girls out to dinner one Friday night and left Benz home with my [...]

New beds for the girls. With the frames still in boxes, the girls have fun with the bedding.
By Jane on December 28, 2010
As you may know, the girls share a room and they also share a lounging type futon bed. We love that bed as it is quite comfortable. I also am a firm believer that making kids share a room makes them closer and teaches them to share early on. Lucy and I shared a room [...]

Our first trip to the mountains this summer.
By Jane on June 3, 2010
Every year since I was a kid, we go the mountains during the summer for some FAMILY FUN. Our tradition is that we go to the same spot, pack lunch and just CHILL. My parents, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, usually go with us and they always have the MOST FABULOUS lunch ready for us. [...]

Reasonable Ron’s AGAIN: This time, it’s just me and the girls.
By Jane on May 8, 2010
As I mentioned, the Lexus we just got needs two tires replaced. However, when we went to have them changed, we discovered that the LOCK KEY for the WHEELS is missing. So, I have to pick one up at Lexus first. This key is necessary because one of the lug nuts is a different size…used [...]

Depreciation is a bitch. I will never buy a brand new car again.
By Jane on February 10, 2010
Because we have somehow found ourselves to be running a car business, our ride changes constantly. It’s awesome because I get to drive all different kinds of cars and figure them out. Keeps my brain working since I have to remember how to release the trunk, how to turn on the windshield wipers, and how [...]

I was first introduced to Bonsai’s from watching Mr. Miagi pruning them on the Karate Kid. When I actually saw them in person, I just LOVED them. I have a love for trees and tree shapes as it is but a miniature version is just GORGEOUS!! It so happened that the annual Bonsai show was going [...]
