Since Dick and I were arguing about making the bed, there was no time to make dinner. So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S. We discovered this great tapenade pasta one day while shopping at Trader Joe’s where they [...]

Dick: Dope seeds and baby drool.
By Jane on July 27, 2011
Because we don’t subscribe to any TV at our house, we go to my parent’s any time we need to get our fill of TV. This time, it was for the Women’s World Cup…Japan vs. US! It was such an exciting game and so nice to enjoy it with my whole family of 5 sitting [...]

I saw these rose petals laying around the other day and asked the girls why this rose had been taken apart. I thought there were doing it just for fun or to put in a bath or something. It was a rose from a bundle my dad had bought for my mom for Valentine’s day. [...]

Maybe I should get one of these…

Saw this the other day. I always wonder why people get personalized tags. Must be an ego thing. Anyway, I can relate to this one. -Jane, Lover of Starbucks

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Not ready to wear Maternity clothes? Get a belly band!
By Jane on January 23, 2011
I’m about five months along now and am trying to squeeze into the last bit of regular clothes that I can. Depending on the angle, and if I’ve just eaten or not, my bump isn’t that huge yet. So, in order to wear non-maternity clothes, I’m looking through my closet for shirts that fit bigger [...]

For those who have kids, you know how newborns have that tar-like poo in the beginning? Well, I got to know it all too well. Whilst taking a nap with my lovie Benz, his diaper apparently slid down and little man had decided to take a dump while napping. So, much to my surprise, when [...]

My girls kids (still not used to having a son) and I were at Justice the other day just browsing around. Here’s Benz flanked by Angry Birds. No, I do not play this game. I don’t because I would be one to become addicted to this game and everything else in life wouldn’t matter. I know [...]

Dick and I just happened to be at the Country Line Dancing Club for a short drink. While we were watching everyone dance, I caught sight of one white boy man who totally surprised the hell out of me with his awesome moves. I was surprised, I guess, cause I was judging him and based [...]

Laguna Beach: No, I’m not talking about the teeny bopper show.
By Jane on December 30, 2009
We recently were down in the OC…that’s short for Orange County if you don’t know or watch those teeny-bopper reality shows on MTV. We decided to head to the Laguna Beach so the kids can play. I’m so excited because I got a bunch of great shots. Enjoy!

Surprise visit on my birthday.
By Jane on April 10, 2011
I’m 36 this year. Not a major milestone. And, with me being pregnant this year, no dress-up party like last year. Remember mine and June’s joint birthday bash… Pimps N’ Ho’s? I just wasn’t feelin’ it this year and just wanted to chill with my family. My birthday started out with Dick and the girls making [...]

Visiting with the elderly neighbors on a walk to the Grandparents’ house.
By Jane on July 12, 2011
The other day we were going to go for an after-dinner walk to my parent’s house. Since their house is less than a mile away it’s a great short, casual walk. First we play a little soccer in the yard. Benz is strapped in and ready to go into a Baby Bjorn given to me [...]

McDonald’s Sausage Biscuit and Gravy
By Jane on October 9, 2009
All of a sudden I get a sudden craving today for a McDonald’s sausage biscuit and gravy. I haven’t had one of these in maybe over a year, probably longer. Honestly, I don’t know how long…that’s how long it’s been. I know, I know…not the healthiest breakfast in the world but that’s why I had [...]

Huge hail storm in the middle of June like I’ve never seen one before.
By Jane on June 15, 2010
We interrupt the current broadcast to give you the most recent update on a large hail storm that just hit Metropolis. I know, I’m stepping out of chronological order but I had to post the pictures from this crazy hail storm that just hit us. Every day we get a sporadic thunderstorm but today’s was [...]

Your Daily Osho: Retrospective Wisdom. It’s worthless! No one will listen to an insane person.
By Jane on February 1, 2011
Ohhh, this is SO hard to do…being aware when you’re at your angriest! At least it was for me. I remember the days when I would get so angry at Dick about “things” and would just lash out at him. I’d bring up everything from the past even though it wasn’t relevant, and it would [...]

Improper watermelon slicing strikes AGAIN!
By Jane on May 22, 2010
Just as soon as I wrote the post on IMPROPER watermelon slicing did I open the fridge to find this: We have more than just stuff to drink in our fridge, trust me. Apparently Dick and J Lo have NOT referred to my blog on the PROPER way to slice a watermelon. Maybe I should [...]

Sometimes a tom boy but still a princess at heart. Thelma was cleaning up her room and well, it needed it! I guess dressing up makes cleaning more fun. She looks just absolutely radiant in this dress. More pics below…

Biking and Hill-Climbing Preggar.
By Jane on January 21, 2011
The other day, we were blessed with unseasonable warm weather for this time of the year so we decided to take our bikes out and enjoy it! Plus, we had to go get some groceries. The hill next to our house was still iced over in parts so we had to be super careful. Dick’s [...]

Our tribute to Sunday Dim Sum Brunch
By Jane on October 4, 2009
We love to eat Dim Sum but there are no restaurants that have this in our area. So, I have the next best thing. Frozen dumplings. So, I whipped up these fried vegetarian leek gyoza for our Sunday “brunch”. It’s fast, you just follow the directions on the bag, and voila! Serve with some sauce [...]

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.
