Red wine, dark chocolate, and a fireplace…ahhhhhhh.
By Jane on October 18, 2009
It was a SUPER cold day in Metropolis. Cold weather makes me want to hibernate and I’m less apt to leave my house to go anywhere. Therefore, when one is hibernating, make sure to have some good red wine, some semi-sweet dark chocolate, and a warm, cozy fireplace. Cuddle with a book or your loved [...]

Louise decided she wanted me to face paint for her birthday and so what does a Mom do but oblige. My dear friend, June, lends me her face painting kit…the same one we used for Halloween. And actually, I have some experience face painting from a few years ago where I used to do it [...]

Louise gets sick on her Birthday. We make it up by going to Cracker Barrel.
By Jane on March 18, 2010
SUCKS TO BE SICK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY Louise has been counting down to her birthday since the beginning of the year. It’s crazy how much kids anticipate these things. Sadley, on the VERY DAY of her birthday, she had a horrible cough, high fever, complained of stomach pains and was breathing very strangely. Short pants [...]
You don’t see motorcycle riders like this in my neck of the woods.
By Jane on July 8, 2010
As I’m driving around Toronto, I spot this dude on a motorcyle. He catches my eye because the motorcyle guys around where I live don’t look or dress like this dude. Actually, this look would have totally passed in my neck of the woods if it had not been for the Parasuco bag. Only a METROSEXUAL [...]

Jane: Victim of Forever Sharp Knife
By Jane on June 19, 2010
Around 7 years ago or so, I was DUPED into buying one of those FOREVER SHARP knives while shopping at Sam’s Club. I was minding my own business, shopping around, when I hear over the intercom… “Attention all shoppers. We will be giving away a FREE pearing knife in aisle [whatever aisle-like I remember]. Don’t miss [...]

On a separate plate, put Extra Virgin Olive Oil, your favorite Balsamic Vinegar, some salt and pepper and you’re good to go! I love this [...]

Here are some pics from a walk that Louise and I took to go to our library while Dick took Thelma to the Training Academy. Taken before Halloween, these totally slipped my mind. Enjoy! These shoelaces are always coming undone.

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 [...]

I seriously munch, kiss, hug, squeeze, pinch, and suck on Benz’s yummy, velvety skin all day. Is that abuse? Well, I just can’t help myself. And I’m not the only one. It’s bath time, which means I get to enjoy my baby’s nooks, crannies, rolls, and lovely lady baby lumps. Benz loves bath time. He’s [...]

Video streaming Oscar’s bowel movements??? Really???
By Jane on November 29, 2009
Oscar has this unique way of sitting. It always looks like he’s ready to take a dump. Lucy says it’s JUST the way he sits. Fine. But the dang thing FARTS ALOT so maybe he’s stopped up or something and sits like that because he’s constipated. Just a theory Lucy.

After having had my iMac (Time to give it a name…Qwerty) held hostage for the last couple of days, and nearly dying because I thought the Geek Squad was going to continue to hold Qwerty hostage until the end of next week, I now have my iMac back and can breath again. Initially they thought [...]
