Dick and I finally took the girls to go see New Moon. All weekend they were asking when we would go. I have to admit, I was very slow to get on the Twilight bandwagon. When Twilight first came out, I thought it was some scary vampire movie. I don’t watch horror movies so I [...]

Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]

Jane Loves Self-Cleaning Ovens
By Jane on February 5, 2010
Having owned the non-self cleaning kind of ovens for a long time, this Jane totally loves using the self-cleaning function on my oven. BEFORE Here’s the before, with lots of spilled cheese from pizzas and other random stuff that has fallen and burnt to a crisp. Yes, it’s quite nasty.

Your Daily Benz: Benz and his new AMERICAN GIRLfriend.
By Jane on November 14, 2011
Benz was recently introduced to Thelma’s AMERICAN GIRLfriend. Benz instantly took a liking to her. Aren’t they so cute together? As with most “men” his age, he shows affection by pulling her hair. Soon though, things started to get serious and Benz was smitten. In the end, he was kissing her feet!! Whoa boy! Take [...]

Saving my daffodils from the rain.
By Jane on March 2, 2011
Because we were nearly flooded from all the rain, the rain was killing my daffodils that had already popped out their head. Why let them get all mashed up outside? Such a waste when I can enjoy them inside. Look how filthy they are from all the dirt/mud splatters. No problem, nothing a rinse can’t cure. [...]

Girls Soccer – our new sport for the season.
By Jane on September 15, 2010
After watching the World Cup, and because Dick plays in the front yard with the girls all the time, Thelma decided she wanted to play soccer this season. This is not the first time we’ve let her join. SOCCER AT 5 Back when Thelma was five, we enrolled her on the soccer team. Adorbs!! At this [...]

You know how some people have imaginary friends growing up? Well, Thelma has a world called “Stuffed Animal World”. This is where Munck comes from…who she believes to be very real, growing and living with feelings and emotions. Munck is very much part of the family (Ducky as well.).

Need to relax? Candle therapy is the best!
By Jane on May 10, 2010
This Jane LOVES candles. They’re so romantic and great for relaxing. I especially love using tea lights. All my candles are placed in STRATEGIC locations for a specific overall DESIRED look and feel, highlighting particular things.

Prince of Persia Review. Jake Gyllenhaal can be my Prince anyday.
By Jane on June 18, 2010
Back to being on good terms, we take the kids to go see Prince of Persia. I wonder who picked this one? Actually, we all wanted to see it. I take out my camera to get some pics. Dick sees me and tells me to put it away. “They’re going to think you’re video taping. [...]

Homeschooling: Not for everyone but DEFINITELY for us!!
By Jane on September 14, 2009
I know there are people who are out there that are like, “Homeschool?!?!? How do your kids get the “social” part of school?” My response is…”Besides letting the kids out of their cage for about an hour a day to stretch out their legs, we occasionally take them to the local grocery store to see how other humans interact.”

PAINTING FRENZIE: The front porch gets an uplift too.
By Jane on May 11, 2010
It’s spring and since it’s still somewhat nice outside and not too hot, I like to do some work around the house. Not only did the back porch need some lovin’, the front porch does too! See where I went pressure-washer crazy?

My New Mi Goi (Ramen). Instructions included.
By Jane on March 1, 2010
Ramen, in Vietnamese, is “Mi Goi“. And I don’t know any Vietnamese people who do not eat “Mi Goi”. If you don’t, I would have to question your true Vietnamese-hood! So, remember I decided to venture out in life and try something new? I decided to try a new ramen that no one recommended to [...]

Lucy gives the girls “shoulder buddies”.
By Jane on June 12, 2011
Lucy happened upon these “Shoulder Buddies” while at the airport and bought them for the girls. They look like these little crazy haired little “pets” that sit on magnets. One is named “Goal” and the other “Crush”. Aren’t they cute? I just noticed, they don’t have any arms. So what you do is put your [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Someone has a slight case of the Trucker Crack.
By Jane on March 24, 2010
I’m not sayin’ who, but with hipster jeans and low riders these days, girls be showin’ their asses just as much as da boyz. Showing some occasional crack still beats having your jeans up to your boobs. Snot me, iz someBUTTy else. -Jane, Occassional Victim of Low Rise Jeans. (Still doesn’t mean this is me.)
