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.)

Taking the Benz for a ride, I mean, stroll.
By Jane on June 23, 2011
No, I’m not talking about our car, I’m talking about our son. We decided to go for a walk, while strolling our new Benz around. I had forgotten how much one must pack when you have a baby, even if it’s just for a simple walk around the neighborhood. That there black bag on the [...]

Thelma: Definitely a Daddy’s girl.
By Jane on July 5, 2010
Thelma is the ultimate Daddy’s girl. She worships her sweet daddy. I love and am super thankful that they have such a wonderful father. He definitely fills in all the voids where I’m lacking. Always patient and playful with the kids. They adore him. (Don’t be letting this get to your head honey.) -Jane, Wife [...]

DICK: Daddy Day at Ballet, Tutus and all.
By Jane on January 19, 2010
The girls have been taking ballet since they were 5, taking off a year here or there. Louise was excited to start ballet again but since Thelma was crazy about ice skating, she wasn’t feelin’ ballet as much and decided not to take lessons this year. And ever Louise started up again this last fall, [...]

The Geek Squad at Best Buy has hijacked my iMac for repair of the harddrive. It’s so hard to be without my baby. Hopefully I’ll get it back today. -Jane, Mac-less

The Victorian Table gets the HOT treatment and June Cleaver suggests I trim it up!
By Jane on March 8, 2010
The room still needs more umph. BOLD is BEAUTIFUL. THE VICTORIAN TABLE I remember that I have an old ornate, although intricately molded plastic, table that looks like it was from the LOUIS XIV days. It’s in my shed collecting dust because two of it’s legs have fallen off. I kept it all this time [...]

No way you are throwing away those beautiful orchids…
By Jane on February 11, 2010
I was walking around one of my favorite super markets and I see this lady ripping off all these beautiful stems with these gorgeous orchid blossoms that still looked fresh. Not being one who is shy to ask, I asked her if she was going to throw them away. She was and asked if I [...]

Please don’t eat me, I love you!

Sweet Louise donning one of my favorite T-shirts. I love seeing my girls in comfy, oversized T-shirts. Looks way better on her than me anyway. Too tight. Is this pig not the cutest thing ever? I’m talkin’ about the one wearing the t-shirt. Hehe. -Jane, Comfy T-shirt Lover

By Jane on February 14, 2011
These days, I’m a clumsy mess. Not only is my brain mush but I run into things…looked up the other day and almost smacked right into one of those poles/columns in the middle of a store. After eating, I often notice either crumbs or spills on my shirt. Of course, Dick jokes that I’ve always [...]

Your daily Benz: Sleeping naked baby.
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Who doesn’t love naked baby pictures? These were just taken on the fly. I haven’t had time to set up a proper shoot. Benz sleeps really well. He only wakes up once or twice in the night. I’ll just roll over and nurse him. So edible and yummy!! I could just stare at him all [...]

Your first look at an $8 bill!!
By Jane on March 14, 2011
Louise is turning 8 this year and is in HIGH ANTICIPATION of her birthday. She’s been planning this since…well…last year. Except, Louise isn’t the only one in anticipation…so is Thelma. Thelma had an idea to make an $8 bill for Louise with her face on it, rather than some boring President. Cute idea! So, I [...]

“Sherlock and Watson” on the search for a Wasp Nest.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
In the last few days we’ve killed about 3 wasps in our house. Wasps, not bees. Their sting is much worse, or so I’ve heard, but I’m not wanting to find out first hand. I’m not scared of bees at all but for some reason, wasps, hornets or yellow jackets seem way angrier and scarier. [...]

MUSHED AND STRANDED on the Interstate: The first time I ever ran out of gas.
