We’re having BBQ for lunch at our homeschool co-op today, provided by my fellow lunch lady, Laverne. Her husband smoked this pork for over 14 hours and it was extremely moist and tasty!

The Chalk Guy: Julian Beever and his AMAZING pavement drawings.
By Jane on November 12, 2009
I just got a forward from Dick’s cousin. He’s a dentist who has a lot of time to send a bunch of email forwards to us. LOL (J.K. We love you!) I never read any long forwards. I am A.D.D. and like I said, wordy stuff with no pictures will NOT capture my attention. Short, [...]

My daffodils are in full blossom and I’m lovin’ it! I cut some so that I can enjoy them inside. Fresh flowers are da bomb! -Jane, Lover of Fresh Flowers.

Jane’s Maternity Wear. Dare to wear horizontal stripes.
By Jane on March 25, 2011
Typically, they say horizontal stripes are unflattering, especially if you don’t want to look more WIDE than LONG. Of course, I’d rather look LONGER THAN WIDER but there are very few items left in my closet that can still double as maternity. Like this one. Remember, I’m trying to ride it out without having to purchase too [...]

Dick and his marathon: Extensive running may cause chaffing of nipples.
By Jane on March 2, 2010
Remember I mentioned Dick is running a marathon soon, therefore he’s training and researching about marathons online. DICK: “Baby, I’ve been researching about marathons. And some people have commented about the long term effects of having run a marathon. Like, this one guy said he couldn’t do anything RAPIDLY for 18 months after he ran [...]

FREAKY EYES: Does it ever seem like someone is watching you?
By Jane on October 8, 2010
The girls spotted this tree with an eye on it staring right back at us. Weird and Freaky. That’s not drawn on there, it’s naturally like that. Then, on another day, I see the same tree…but from a different angle this time. And what do I see? TWO EYES staring back at me. Too freaky! [...]

Ashereste Recipe: Persian Vegetable and Bean Hearty Soup. So great for cold weather.
By Jane on February 17, 2010
Ashereste is a Persian hearty soup that could easily be a meal on its own. This is an EXCELLENT soup for the cold, cold winter we’re having. Because this soup takes a while to make, I usually make a bunch and either have people over, give it away, or freeze it to eat another day.

This Jane does not do milk. I’m LACTOSE INTOLERANT not because my stomach acts up when I drink milk but because I just don’t TOLERATE it in the least. I don’t like it. The thought of me drinking a glass of milk makes me just want to HURL. It took all kinds of strength in [...]

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 [...]

It’s Friday! You ain’t got not job. You ain’t got shit to do.
By Jane on October 28, 2011
I’m so behind on blogging. Benz is now 5 months and I’ve still got stuff to write about that happened a month ago. Pregnancy and having children contribute greatly to my rapidly disappearing brain cells, whereby the count is drastically depleted with each additional child. That and, of course, aging. Pregnancy amnesia doesn’t go away [...]

June Cleaver, Anne Wilson, Jane, Linda Hamilton My lovely friend, Termina-tress Linda Hamilton (right) volunteers at the Museum and assisted with the new exhibit featuring artist Anne Wilson, who [...]

Coming out of the closet! (My old clothes that is.)
By Jane on January 24, 2010
I went to an art gallery exhibit opening the other day (Story to come out shortly after this one.). I’m still trying to stick to my daily goal of wearing something I haven’t worn in a long time. I got this shirt three-four years ago and I have only worn it two times…until now. I’m [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Mayweather/Marquez: From Jane’s Perspective
By Jane on September 20, 2009
We’re watching the much anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez. I don’t know much about boxing but Dick enjoys it so I watch documentaries about boxers and a few fights PPV with Dick. I know he’s going to say “You’re so lucky for having me open your mind to so [...]

So while I was hanging with my girl having coffee, her “man friend” calls. “Man friend” was asking her what she was doing. Confuscia says…(matter-of-factly) “We hangin’ out here at the Starbucks lookin’ like a million bucks.” LOL. -Jane, Friend to Confuscia.

It is reported that a 12-year old girl has died of INTERNAL BLEEDING after having sex with her MUCH OLDER HUSBAND (twice her age) three days before. TWELVE YEARS OLD!

If you’re a fan of sweet potatos, you’ll love Baked Butternut Squash.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
It’s been a while since I did a recipe post. Sorry, they take a while to write so it’s hard to find the time. But, the other day I made some Crispy Flounder, Baked Butternut Squash and Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice for my family. I was going to put the entire recipes for all [...]

Jane: Post Partum Nester and Closet Organizer.
By Jane on June 18, 2011
Since I was just taking things in stride prior to the birth of Benz, I didn’t really get a chance to nest much. Therefore, after he came the clutter in Dick and my closets were annoying the crap out of me. Here’s a glimpse of Dick’s closet. Our house is an older house so we [...]

Need a project to do with the kids? How about collaborate on a painting together?
By Jane on January 9, 2011
Louise and I were at home together while Dick took Thelma to her training academy. So, Louise wanted to do something TOGETHER and thought it would be neat to work on a painting together. Normally, since the kids always want help with stuff, I would be like, “It’s more special if you do it by [...]
