We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Getting Out Tea Stains with Oxy Clean
By Jane on February 15, 2010
We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Man, do I love watermelon. Oh, and being lazy to spit out seeds, I prefer seedless. I’m so excited that watermelon season has started! I pretty much live off watermelon in the summer. That and corn on the cob! Looks like I tried to stash one under my dress no? (Which you may recognize. [...]

Anticipation of Snow results in LONG ASS line at Blockbuster.
By Jane on January 30, 2010
Like everyone else in Metropolis, I was out getting groceries in anticipation of the “WINTER STORM” coming our way. Dick was driving back from Gotham City and although I was somewhat worried he would get caught in the storm, the snow had just started. He suggested I hit the Blockbuster and get us some movies.

Just because I’m in my last trimester doesn’t mean the work stops. Besides loving to cut my grass, I wanna make sure I’m in shape to deliver this baby. Sometimes it’s a bumpy ride…hopefully this won’t put me into labor. Although I may use it as an alternative to be naturally induced. Ha! Yep, still [...]

Your daily Benz: Benz and Piggy.
By Jane on June 22, 2011
Benz’s head often falls to the side, making him look so cockeyed. So, I looked around to see what I could put there to straighten him up a bit. Piggy fit quite nicely. Benz seemed to think so too…look how he’s holding on to it’s feet. -Jane, Mommy to Sweet Benz.

There’s a viral post going around on Facebook with accompanying photo below about a baby mouse who chewed through a box of Viagra at a pharmacy. Not sure if this is for real or not but it’s nonetheless pretty funny! Have a MOST EXCITING weekend my friends. Hopefully just as excited as this mouse. -Jane, [...]

From Sunny LA to the freezing cold of the South!
By Jane on January 12, 2010
Yes, after being in Los Angeles for a month, we’re coming back home. We’ve just got off the plane and like I mentioned before, I’m ready to hop right back on and go back to LA. -IT’S FRIGGIN’ COLD!! Yes, LA is superficial and plastic but it’s also WARM and SUNNY! The days are around [...]

Your daily Benz: Grandma knits Benz a blankie.
By Jane on June 24, 2011
My mom has been knitting a blanket for Benz. It’s super nice so I wanted to take some pictures of him with it while he’s still tiny, even though she wasn’t quite done with it. Little man has no eyebrows. This concerns Dick but I’m like, he’s Persian! I don’t think hair is one of [...]

Homeschooling by the fireplace and in the car???
By Jane on November 5, 2010
Today was a blah, overcast, occassionally rainy, chilly kind of day. Perfect, I thought, for some homeschooling by the fireplace with some mellow music in the background (like Sade, Dido, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Michael Franks, etc.). If they are few and far between, I welcome such days that force me to slow down. Damn my kids are [...]

It’s a small world. Random meetings result in a weird connection.
By Jane on February 2, 2010
Do you remember when I said that I met this lady at the park and she had locked herself out of her car? (Click HERE for the story.) Well, her and her girls sat in my car while they waited for a ride. So, we chatted while she was in the car. I find out [...]

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 [...]

Just to give you some perspective…

My dear husband is doing is morning business…number two. Yes, THE number two. Meanwhile, during that SAME amount of time that he is spending meditating and waiting for his body to be ”cleansed”…I’m CLEANsING too. THE KITCHEN, THE BATHROOM, AND THE OFFICE. And he’s STILL in the bathroom.Gives you some perspective on the DIFFERENCES between MEN and WOMEN. [...]

My my Tacky-Eye: Them boots are not made for walkin’!
By Jane on March 14, 2010
I was at Starbucks having “Coffee Talk” with June Cleaver when I spotted this lady wearing these boots. I’m not really sure what to think of these things. As a artist, I can appreciate the artistry that went into these. HOWEVER… I am not a fan of the ROLLING of the jeans. They’re too short! Having [...]

No, I’m trying to insult a slightly overweight female (not that there’s anything wrong with that-being overweight that is). I’m talking about my son! Benz was a baby chicken this year, a costume that Louise wore when she was two. FLASHBACK TO HALLOWEEN 2004 Look at my sweet Louise, who is only 2.5 here. And my beautiful Thelma, [...]

Another accident in the back seat of the Benz. Rushing to get to our first day of Homeschool Co-op.
By Jane on September 29, 2011
A few weeks ago, our homeschool co-op started up again. Our first day and of course we’re rushing to get to school on time. Usually the first day (and only the first day) I’m on time. So, in order to make it on time, we had to rush to the grocery store so I could get [...]

I got a good forward the other day…and by “good forward” I mean it wasn’t too long or wordy, had lots of pictures and made me smile. Anything longer than and page with lots of words and no pictures will SURELY not be read if you forward it to me. This particular forward was full [...]

Recently, we’ve been having some amazing weather for February in Metropolis. Sunny, mid 60s and beautiful. So, we moved the classroom outside, cause you can do that when you homeschool. The girls just spread out a blanket and bring their assignments outside. I’m also there in the event there are questions. And, I’m getting the [...]

I didn’t eat anything prior to us going to the Halloween party so I was starving and craving some sushi. So, Dick and I ventured to one of our favorite sushi bars downtown after we left the party. What I like about this place is that it has a loungy feel. It’s like a neighborhood hang out where those who live nearby [...]

I lose Dick’s keys and make PROPER use of Lucy’s “Apology” note pad she gave me.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
All day I’ve been pressure washing the deck, putting away stuff in the shed, cleaning, blowing leaves off the roof of the house, planting flowers…and in between all that, I lost Dick’s keys. (Because I went to get gas for my machines and didn’t put the keys back where they belong.) RUMMAGING THROUGH TRASH SUCKS [...]
