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. [...]

Pets: Kids just want to care for something of their own.
By Jane on September 29, 2009
For some reason, kids just have this inherent need to have pets. They just want to take care of something and call it their own. Like most kids, my kids wanted to be the parents of their own puppy. Fanny Mae had bought an adorable little Pekingnese for herself, so when my mom brought the [...]

The thing about the holidays is that there’s a bazillion more people out than usual and when in line, you’re surrounded by people. Everywhere you go there is a line that you need to wait in. I’m in line and this guy behind me is freaking breathing down my neck and standing WAY TOO CLOSE [...]

My Asian, nearly non-existent eye lashes definitely need mascara!
By Jane on December 15, 2010
I’m Asian and we’re not really known for having long eyelashes. Actually, Asians are lucky if they even have an inkling of lashes. Unlike my Persian-mixed daughters who inherited long luscious lashes from her father’s side, I am not as fortunate as they are. Therefore, I need a little assistance from the mascara wand. My [...]

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 [...]

Hangnails: Amazing how such a tiny thing can cause SO MUCH PAIN.
By Jane on March 12, 2010
Hangnails are the absolute WORST. They are little pieces of torn skin around your cuticles and it’s usually because your skin is dry. Mine is dried to hell from painting and washing my hands constantly. Plus, it’s winter and my bony hands just get dry. One time, I held my own hand and I was [...]

What has happened to my babies????
By Jane on October 21, 2009
Thelma and Louise just recently went to one of those girly-girl birthday parties where you get all done up and glittered up. They had a blast!! I don’t remember ever having or been to one of these kinds of parties back in my day. I do remember going to the roller skating rink alot for [...]

Sometimes you just get to feeling overworked and underpaid. You’re tired, you have too much to do, and you just want to go ON STRIKE. Only, you’re a mom and a wife and there is no supported workers union for such positions. You feel like your mate isn’t helping enough and, when you’re running around [...]
Bubba hooks his finger and I get the catch of the day!
By Jane on July 15, 2010
After getting to our industrial spot for fishing, we start to fish. See, life jacket no more. I know how to swim. I know, even people who know how to swim can drown. Whatever, I just don’t like wearing it ok? Makes me sweaty. MIA follows suit but then my aunt attaches this cord to [...]

Using our fire pit to make Chelo Kabob the old school way…
By Jane on March 21, 2011
This time of the year is perfect for a fire pit at night so we’ve been enjoying a warm fire in the crisp evenings. Last night, we were craving Chelo Koobideh (ground beef) Kabob, one of the staples of Persian food. The MEN decided they would use the fire pit to grill our kabobs the [...]

Not your every day Jeep. Gun included.
By Jane on September 6, 2010
While coming out of the grocery store, I see this in the parking lot. I wonder if they get tickets for not wearing a seat belt. And what’s this? Are you sure that little tie thing is going to be sufficient? Why not just put a sign on it that says TAKE ME. -Jane. Just [...]

Your daily Benz: Planking baby.
By Jane on July 22, 2011
Planking is this new crazy trend where people will lay stiff like a board (plank) and take pictures of it in random places. It’s all the rage and the new “cool” thing to do on Facebook. Plank and post to FB. Planking baby Benz!! For my friend who loves to plank. “Mommy why do you [...]

What is this “Mom” businesses? I’m MOMMY!!!
By Jane on March 5, 2010
Eight seems to be the year that your kids start transitioning into a more grown up phase in their life. Thelma seems more mature and she even tells me all the time: “I really love being eight.” I can’t believe she’s eight already. Just a couple of weeks ago, my 8-year old started calling me [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Jihad Jane? Definitely a case of mistaken identity here.
By Jane on March 10, 2010
Apparently this JANE was conspiring with terrorists and was hired to kill that controversial Swedish political cartoonist Lars Vilks. JIHAD JANE. I don’t know anything about him or her but reading “Jihad Jane” on CNN.com completely caught my eye. Click HERE for the full story. -Jane, Not Jihad Jane.

One night, our family gets hungry and since we had nothing at home and I was too tired to cook, we decide to grab some dinner uptown. The girls want to go to Jason’s Deli, which is a new franchise that we love to go to and they offer all natural/organic ingredients in their food. [...]

Shakira comes over and we have Persian fish with Persian dirty rice.

My friend, Shakira, has been dying to meet Benz. I’ve known her as long as I’ve known Dick cause she was actually there the night we met and was with Dick and his friends at the same International Party I was at. Shakira keeps telling me that she’s going to kidnap my boy. So, over the [...]

Your Daily Osho: An Echoing Place. That’s Karma baby!!
By Jane on January 30, 2011
I’ve always believed in Karma…whatever you put out there, it’s going to come right back at cha like a boomerang. And if you have watched “The Secret”, in a more scientific description, it’s the same thing as Quantum Physics. Whatever energy you put out in the universe, the universe will echo it right back at [...]

Tiger Woods teacher holds press conference. Another FAME WHORE seeking their 15 minutes.
By Jane on April 3, 2010
Tiger’s former GRADE SCHOOL teacher gave a press conference the other day and is demanding an apology. Woman, you need to get off your high horse and stop trying to cash in on your 15 MINUTES OF FAME! Now I’m not siding on the SERIAL CHEATER’S side but I think it’s ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE and RIDICULOUS [...]
