Our city of Metropolis does not have large Chinatowns or Asian grocery markets like the bigger cities but it’s enough for us. Dick and I recently went to get some fish. If you want a good variety of fresh fish and at great prices, I would find out where your local Asian grocery store is. [...]

Ladies Night at the Sports Bar never ceases to disappoint.
By Jane on August 24, 2010
June and I hit LADIES NIGHT at the local sports bar again and this time, we bring Eminem out with us so I can properly SCHOOL him in ping pong in public. Dick actually would love to join us but due to his injury, he’s not quite that mobile yet. The table is open and [...]

By Jane on March 30, 2010
I totally forgot about a particular conversation that totally threw me off and gave me a damn good chuckle. DUDE 1: “Does a fat baby’s fart stink?” Me & my girls: “Umm…what?” (We’re all looking at eachother confused.) DUDE 1: “Does a FAT baby’s fart stink?” Me & my girls: “Uhhh….yeah…” DUDE 2: “Well of [...]

Buying from local small businesses: Lemonade, Jerk Chicken, and Peaches.
By Jane on August 12, 2010
We try to BUY LOCAL more than we BUY ORGANIC. Organic is great too if it’s local and fresh but at the grocery store, if you have to choose between local and organic, go LOCAL. Surprised? Well, most of the organic produce is traveling from across the country (or world) to get to your grocery [...]

My girls found a souvenir of one of my greatest accomplishments while in high school. I received this button for successfully finishing the St. Jude Walk-a-thon twenty years ago when I was like 15 years old. The walk was a 26 12 mile (Apologies: Lapse in memory. It was 12 miles.) walk around downtown Metropolis. Some [...]

By Jane on February 18, 2011
Our co-op often has a special day where the kids can dress up. We have pajama day, crazy hair day, crazy hat day, etc. Today was crazy clothes day and Thelma threw something together that morning. Pretty crazy that girl and she didn’t even have any help from her crazy Momma. I stopped dressing them [...]

Jane and Lucy: Leg Warmer Twins
By Jane on September 7, 2010
You know how when you’re really young, you like to dress up asTWINS (or as Lucy and I say it, TWEENZ) with your best friend? While shopping at Wal-mart, I spotted this cute OP (Ocean Pacific) outfit so Lucy and I decided to be TWEENZ. Unlike my younger days as a teen growing up, I [...]

FREAK! Can’t wait any longer. Jane doing the yearly maintenance on my riding lawn mower HERSELF!
By Jane on April 2, 2010
I’ve been asking Dick for a couple of weeks now to do the routine maintenance on my riding lawn mower so that I can cut my grass. Similar to cars, lawn mowers require maintenance too. After waiting and waiting and waiting for Dick to do it, I decided to just SUCK IT UP, GET DIRTY [...]

Winter and 78F in LA. How nice.
By Jane on January 10, 2010
It’s pretty warm considering the rest of the country is getting snow. Lucy’s car is reporting 78F for the outside temperature. Its weird because in the near distance you can see snowcaps on the mountains right in front of us. -Jane, Lover of Warm Weather

One of my favorite cars is the Porsche 911, especially the older model ones. I came across one yesterday…a beautiful, silver, newer model, but with some of my personal touches. Green is one of my favorite colors so I think Porsche should consider this lovely shade of green…let’s call it “Green with Envy”. It would [...]

Garden Show: Blooms Day for Mother’s Day.
By Jane on May 13, 2011
One of my favorite things to do with my Mom is to go to Garden Shows together so it was really nice to be able to go to our local Blooms Day for Mother’s Day. Both my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick opted out of this one. Go figure. The Garden Show is held on [...]

By Jane on October 30, 2009
If you’re looking for something healthy to eat, then look no more. Everything below is cooked in the oven (minus the salad) so it’s not FRIED. Here is my recipe and directions for making Steelhead Trout, sweet potato fries accompanied with a salad and brown rice. Remember, I do not include amounts as I do [...]

Livening up the house with fresh cut flowers from Mom’s garden.
By Jane on May 7, 2012
We often use my parents house as our local convenience store. Whenever we run out of toilet paper or paper towels and are lazy to run to the store, we just head over to Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac’s house. Today, we got eggs (from my parents’ chickens but recycling Eggland’s Best container), a roll of [...]

Swimming with jellyfish and squid.
By Jane on February 28, 2011
While at the Phu Quoc resort, the family decides to go for a swim in the lovely clear waters. Look how cute Queenie looks. Love the old-school bathing suit! The emerald waters are so clear and beautiful! I’m quite jealous. Love this picture of MIA’s parents. Look what my dad spots swimming amongst them…jelly fish! [...]
