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 cousin would find this interesting.
How trendy of Huggies.
However, this Jane is super glad to not have to deal with diapers anymore.

[...] growing up, I have no qualms admitting or being seen shopping at the WAL-MART…sometimes at 1 AM in the ...
Recycling things I already have to accessorize the room.
By Jane on March 9, 2010
Most of the stuff I’m using to accessorize is stuff I already have. Like on some of those decorating shows on HGTV (I love those!) I decide to use stuff that is around my house because I have plenty. You remember I painted the tray. The picture is of Dick’s late Grandmother. The candles came [...]

Dick braves riding the Greyhound. We need high speed rails in the US people!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Dick has to go to Gotham City to pick up another car. He decides at the last minute to do this and so airfare is ridiculous. With no other options, he decides to brave the Greyhound. I am fearful because just last year, I read this horrible story about an innocent bus-riding young man who gets [...]

I used to be the kind of girl that wanted EVERYTHING. Everything materialistic that is. The big house, the luxury cars, the designer shoes and clothes, etc. etc. etc. I was young, ambitious, and stupid, stupid, stupid. It seriously would physically hurt me thinking about not having the things I wanted and I was always [...]

Old Asian Drivers. Need I say more.
By Jane on February 23, 2011
Sadly, my parents Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac fall in the same category as those old Asian drivers that people so often get frustrated at. We were going to a new park and they were following us in their car. Except, my mom is driving (She always drives because she gets motion sickness if she [...]

Through the eyes of an innocent child.
By Jane on June 2, 2010
We take J Lo and the boys to the pier of one of our favorite parks. It’s sunset and gorgeous. I love the way these pics turned out. It’s nearly impossible to get ALL the kids to smile at the same time. Oh well, at least they have CHARACTER. Such inquisitive minds. I remember when [...]

“Tiger” Mom’s article still causing an uproar.
By Jane on January 21, 2011
I came across a great article written by a Chinese/Vietnamese man , Mr. Lac Su, who had “Tigers” for parents. “Tigers” being what Ms. Amy Chua calls herself and her tactics on raising “successful” children. Mr. Su is a psychologist and business executive and despite being seemingly “successful”, explains how years of abuse and strictness affected [...]
