You may have noticed I have this mole above my lip. It’s been there since I was a child, only, it wasn’t always so prominent. It’s grown over the years. It used to be flat and now it’s poofy and has some dimension to it. Dick and Lucy Lu continuously make fun of me, telling [...]

Stay-at-Home: Do you feel you don’t “contribute”??? WHATEVER!!!
By Jane on September 15, 2009
I know so many stay-at-home Mom’s who feel like they have to “contribute”. WTF??? We work our asses off 24-7 taking care of our husbands and children with lots of expectations and no appreciation, raises, or adult interaction. And, much respect to those who are working Moms as well because you then have TWO [...]

Kwik Kwote: A Key for the Men’s Room…WTF?!?!?

Our homeschool co-op was the host this year for the Homeschool Prom of Metropolis. The venue was the ballroom of one of the hotels in downtown Metropolis. Of course, there was a dance floor. There was even food at the prom. I assure you we had no food at my high school Prom! The theme [...]

Thelma gets burned from Hot Cocoa.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
While I was with Louise at the photo shoot. I get a frantic call from Thelma. She’s crying like crazy and I can hardly understand her. I’m dying inside because I’m two hours away and there’s nothing I can do. My mom had taken Thelma to work with her while I was with Louise. She [...]

EVERYDAY OSHO: Amatuers and Experts. Don’t be an expert. Be an amateur!
By Jane on January 27, 2011
Today I may be a photographer, blogger, property investor and manager, entrepreneur…tomorrow I may want to be a hairdresser, a chef, a stylist, a gardener, or a carpenter. Who knows? Life is short. I don’t think I would want to do the same thing for the rest of my life. I have many more things [...]

Fanny Mae found a $5 dollar bill laying on a table. I’ve seen this same five dollar bill laying around as well and was contemplating taking it if I saw it laying there much longer. Well, Fanny Mae beat me to it. But as soon as Fanny Mae was about to pocket it, Louise now [...]

Early Maternity Wear: Sporty Maternity and layering clothes at 4 months.
By Jane on December 29, 2010
Being around 4 months pregnant, I kinda still fit in some of my clothes. Kinda. Being in that in-between stage where one does not yet look fully pregnant and is thicker in the middle than usual makes it difficult to find clothes to wear. I want to be able to use whatever clothes I have [...]

Blast to the Past: Speaking of Cousin MIA, we had quite a summer.
By Jane on February 16, 2011
Since I was thinking of MIA because she had sent my kids that great Mind Blowing Science Kit, I was going through my old posts of her and realized, we did quite a bit this summer! 1. We hung out with the fam and I took you to the Country Bar. 2. You left to travel [...]

Dick gets “new” shoes. Tenant leaves behind a pair of Nike Lebron James 20-5-5.
By Jane on September 1, 2011
We always have “gifts” that the tenants leave behind and it’s usually because they don’t want to move their crap or they just don’t want it anymore. We’ve gotten a stereo, beds, furniture, pots and pans, washer and dryer, etc. While cleaning up the garage of our property, Dick found a pair of men’s tennis [...]

Shopping at the market for a unique gift.
By Jane on September 22, 2010
Lucy’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her something unique. What I wanted to get her was a nice apron, since my dear sister (who never used to cook) is now cooking. (Lucy often even uses my recipes.) But, when I shopped around, I found all the aprons I looked at to [...]

Not one to usually hold back, I used to be one that complained all the time…or at least to the ones closest to me. I think I was at my most unhappy when I was in Detroit. The consultants we were working with at Ford were pissing me off, the telephone company was pissing me [...]

The latest offspring to make it big is WILLOW SMITH who has a POWERHOUSE VOICE and SPUNK that reminds me of a young Rihanna. Girlfirend is SUPER FIERCE and I [...]

Missing traditional Vietnamese food: My dad finally makes Pho!
By Jane on February 9, 2011
Since my parents have been gone and traveled to Vietnam to eat a ton of super yummy Vietnamese food, my dad finally made some Pho for us while Lucy was in town. This is the first time we have had pho in over two months and I was totally missing it!! If you don’t know [...]

Thelma, being almost 10 and anti-pink/anti-girly, no longer plays with her Build-a-Bear. Well, that is, until recently, she discovered that the same clothes may fit her unsuspecting little brother. Little Benz sitting innocently and happily. Now look at him. He’s horrified. “Why sissy, why?!?!?” Not a happy camper. He no likey-likey. Then the other day, [...]

Riding the ChooChoo…at the mall.
By Jane on March 10, 2011
Like I said, I haven’t been to the mall in like two years…and I realized why. Besides it being outside “the bubble” that I live in, it’s crazy crowded (at least it was that day) and stressful. While we were there looking at the Orchid Exhibit, the girls see a Choo Choo Train that goes [...]

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 [...]

Honey, I wanna be a desperate housewife!
By Jane on January 14, 2012
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’m a blogging LOSER these days and APOLOGIES! I can’t seem to find the time or energy to blog these days. (That being said, I’m so appreciative that our loyal Jane and Dick fans still visit our site daily and even read our old stories!) With [...]

Recipe: Pan Seared Red Snapper and Stripe Bass and Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves. (Ca Chien)
By Jane on March 2, 2010
We just went shopping at our local Asian grocery store and bought some fresh fish. Now to cook it up! The fancy way to say how we’re preparing this is “pan searing” the fish. Basically, we’re frying it in a pan. In Vietnamese, fried fish is called “Ca Chien” and it’s quite simple. I picked [...]
