I always pictured car salesmen to be fast-talking, wheelin’ and dealin’ men. Never in my WILDEST dreams did I think that I would be among them because I’m not the kind of person that likes to sell anything. I suck at it and it does not come naturally for me like it does for DICK. I don’t like having to convince anyone to buy anything. So when I started doing business for myself, I learned that EVERYTHING is sales. Shit! The one thing I can’t stand to do! One constantly has to sell themselves, whether it be their idea, their product or themselves. Sales is a must-have skill that everyone needs to learn but I must have fallen asleep in class again. (I’m infamous for my amazing ability to fall asleep anywhere and within a few seconds.)

Pomelo: The sweet alternative to Grapefruit.
By Jane on January 30, 2011
What is a Pomelo? It’s the sweeter version of a grapefruit and about three times the size of an orange. I guess Walmart spells it “pummelo”. Same thing. They’re a little pricey (About $2.50-$3.00 each) but are really yummy. I don’t like grapefruit. It’s too bitter for me. But, the pomelo is a great alternative [...]

I used to be the kind of girl that wanted EVERYTHING. Everything materialistic that is. The big house, the luxury cars, the designer shoes and clothes, etc. etc. etc. I was young, ambitious, and stupid, stupid, stupid. It seriously would physically hurt me thinking about not having the things I wanted and I was always [...]

Do your kids love going to the dentist? Mine do.
By Jane on October 28, 2010
Unlike some kids, my girls LOVE going to the dentist. This is not something they got from me. I hated going to the dentist as a kid. Every time I went, I feared that the Dentist would discover yet another cavity. Eating healthy was not a concern growing up in the 80s. Wasn’t JUNK FOOD one of [...]

How much house can one get for $1 million in Metropolis???
By Jane on October 7, 2010
No, we’re not house hunting and even if we were, $1 million is just a little out of our budget. Every year, there is a showcasing of some substantial new homes being built in the Metropolis area. As a kid, going to see the new, beautifully decorated houses was one of my favorite things to [...]

As you may remember, Dick I were School Girl and Preppy School Boy last week. This week, I wanted to venture to the DARK side and get my yearly inner GOTH out. You know how much I am Goth at heart. So I brought out the chains and spiked studded jewelry. I really dig the chains and [...]

When little man wants his boobie, he pretty much wants it NOW. And to avoid a total meltdown when I’m at the store, occasionally, I have to take a break. So, if you ever see me just hanging out in the back seat of my car, it’s NOT because of any backseat shenanigans other than me [...]

As I said, while we were working, the girls were playing. Thelma especially loves to swing really high and then jump off. Louise, not so much. She is much more cautious. -Jane, Mother to Swinging/Jumping Girls.

Ice Skating in LA during winter in shorts and tee shirts???
By Jane on January 13, 2010
When we were in LA, Thelma was begging me to go ice skating like EVERY DAY. She missed it SO much. Around the corner from J Lo’s place was one of those small, temporary outdoor rinks they set up over the “winter” in her area. I don’t like these because usually the ice is really [...]

Benz is now 5-months old but, since I’m so behind on blogging, let’s backtrack to his 4-month doctor visit. Dick is in town and wants to come with us to the Doctor’s office. Such twins, ey?

Getting kids to cooperate for family Christmas Pictures ain’t easy.

One of my friends wanted to have some holiday pictures of her and her kids. So, we set up a shoot where the theme would be making cookies together. We decided to start out by the fireplace first and get some shots there before they started cooking, in case their clothes were to get dirty. [...]
