Thelma and Louise eating worms?
By Jane on November 11, 2010
Whenever I am lazy to cook and need something fast, I always check to see what kind of INSTANT RAMEN I have in my pantry. Today, we have Chapagetti. It’s a non-soupy, instant noodle that tastes like a black bean sauce. Very yummy! Image by www.homecookingdiary.com. (I threw away the packaging before I remembered to [...]

This Jane hates to iron but using my CORDLESS iron makes it better.
By Jane on March 5, 2010
I know there are people out there who find ironing to be extremely relaxing and meditational. Although I can understand this train of thought, I’m still not a fan. I don’t iron. Plain and simple. My family walks around in wrinkled clothes all the time. It’s just not one of my priorities. SHEETS BEYOND WRINKLED [...]

One day Auntie Lucy was spending some time with her nephew Benz. Benz was quite happy and content to just hang with Auntie. However Aunt Lucy got this “brilliant” idea to try to take a picture of my baby with her baby. (Hmmm…Does that make them “cousins”?) She thought, what a great picture it would [...]

Wasp problem turns into an inadvertant beheading.
By Jane on November 29, 2009
It seems like we are seeing more and more of the wasps in our house. Remember when Thelma and Louise went hunting for their nest? (Click HERE).

Thelma, being almost 10 and anti-pink/anti-girly, no longer plays with her Build-a-Bear. Well, that is, until recently, she discovered that the same clothes may fit her unsuspecting little brother. Little Benz sitting innocently and happily. Now look at him. He’s horrified. “Why sissy, why?!?!?” Not a happy camper. He no likey-likey. Then the other day, [...]
