As I may have mentioned, one of the great benefits of homeschooling is that you can take it on the road. This is one of the main reasons why we homeschool.

I get a loaner while getting a car inspected. Testing out the Lexus IS250!!!
By Jane on April 25, 2011
The other day I had to take a Lexus in to get a 46-point inspection done on it. Not having the time to wait around for it, I asked Lexus to give me a loaner…and boy did they! Lexus gave me a choice of either a RX (the small SUV) or the ES (mid-size sedan) or [...]

SOME people just can’t follow the RULES.
By Jane on April 14, 2010
You see the sign? KEEP OFF ROCKS. ALL of those people must have just missed it when they stepped over the chain and walked right passed the sign, onto the ROCKS. Later I realize that “ALL” those people were my friend, JUNE CLEAVER (pink hat), fishing with her family! GOTCHA! June, don’t you know they [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Not ready to wear Maternity clothes? Get a belly band!
By Jane on January 23, 2011
I’m about five months along now and am trying to squeeze into the last bit of regular clothes that I can. Depending on the angle, and if I’ve just eaten or not, my bump isn’t that huge yet. So, in order to wear non-maternity clothes, I’m looking through my closet for shirts that fit bigger [...]

Guy banging on my door wants to cut down my beloved tree.
By Jane on February 8, 2010
Just had some loud ass guy bang on my door a million times like he wants to bust the door down. And, I hear him on the cell saying “yeah, i’m bangin on the door now”. Now if that don’t make a person paranoid. Listen, I don’t answer the door if I am not expecting [...]

Recipe – Persian Rice w/ Beef & Green Beans (Loobia Polow)
By Jane on September 11, 2009
Loobia (green bean) Polow (rice) is a SUPER-yummy Persian dish that combines fragrant Basmati rice with a green bean tomato stew infused with lots of great taste and flavor. I learned how to cook Persian food from my lovely Mother-in-Law. She is infamous in her family for being a fantastic cook and so to keep it [...]

Thelma brings in some smoothies to my office while I was here working. I thought she had made me something to drink and was bringing it to me. How thoughtful! But, before she handed me one, she said… “WAIT.” Then, she proceeds to show me the sign. Being the creative entreprenuer that she is, she [...]

F-bomb can land you in jail. F#$%, should I be worried???
By Jane on October 27, 2009
Looks like my tendencies to spurt out an f-bomb could land my ass in jail! There seems to be a man from Kansas City who will be facing 30 days in a county jail for going on an f-bomb rampage in a road-rage altercation with another man. I wonder if he told the judge to “F#$%” [...]

Cher comes over for a Persian breakfast at my house, in her jammies.
By Jane on December 13, 2011
My friend, Cher, is always inviting me to come over to her house and I’ve turned her down so many times because she lives “so far away” (about 30 minutes) and because I am a lazy friend who doesn’t want to leave her bubble. However, to make up for it, I instead have her come to [...]

My girl June Cleaver and I decided we would throw a theme party and used our birthdays (which are kinda around the same time) as a excuse for one. I love love love theme parties!! It’s so fun to get dressed up and as a mom, I get almost zero chance to dress up. Our [...]

It’s taking me a bit to write the story of his birth but it’s coming, I promise. I have to get the details just right cause this is a story that will be passed in our family from generation to generation. In the meantime, here are some pictures of when we were at the hospital. [...]

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 [...]

We had to stop by AT&T today because Dick’s new phone wasn’t working properly. The girls and I got bored waiting for them to resolve his problem and get him a new phone. Of course, BOREDOM prompts CREATIVITY. Therefore, I take my little point and shoot Canon out and I play.

So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S.

We’re done with our hike thru Runyon Canyon and it’s lunchtime. After hiking 3.5 miles with no breakfast, we’re starving and craving sushi. We basically have the entire restaurant to ourselves.

We get invited to a last minute doggie wedding. Yuki & Oscar’s!!
By Jane on January 25, 2010
I had this idea to let my Mom’s new Pekingese (Yuki) mate with Oscar because I thought they would make cute babies. Lucy is up for it but reminds me that it might be difficult since Oscar only has one ball. Yes, one ball. No matter, we’re going to give it a try. Apparently though, [...]

While the girls are playing on the playground, Dick and I go for a walk with Benz. Only, it seems like it’s just the two of them… Dick took a few of me but they were just hideous. Not solely the fault of the photographer. I wish Dick had some photo skillz so that I [...]
