Jane’s Maternity Wear: Trashy Preggar.
By Jane on April 12, 2011
I wanted to do something a little different for a maternity shoot so I asked Lucy to help me out. Trashy preggar was the theme. I SQUEEZED myself into this tight little black, stretchy dress that has been in my closet for the last 15 years. Okay so my mom would DIE if she saw [...]

Girls Only Trip – Taking Care of Business…and Dinosaurs
By Jane on September 13, 2009
Dick has been out in Cali visiting his family for two weeks and so I’m left here to take care of the things that he can’t. Usually, it’s Dick who drives four hours to Gotham City whenever we have to take care of our residential rental properties, the car business, or our commercial properties. The property that we just cleaned up is still vacant and there are two girls who are interested in looking at it. We have a friend who can show the property for us but since he has no vested interest in it, I feel it’s better that I show it myself. I decide to take the girls and hit the road. This is going to be a nice one-nighter girls-only trip!

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. [...]

By Jane on October 6, 2009
Fanny Mae bought Thelma this super-cute sweater with white blouse underneath. Fall is all about layers. Thelma was so excited that it was cool enough to wear her new shirt on this day and pairs it nicely with some jeans. Fuzzy boots complimented with a super urban and chic messenger bag and you’re ready to [...]

HORRIBLE! Kids committing suicide over being taunted for their sexuality.
By Jane on September 30, 2010
It seems that all I hear in the news these days is about kids who are bullied over their sexuality and more recently, at least 3 teenagers have taken their own lives in the last week or two alone! I am SO SADDENED and actually kind of IRATE at the SENSELESS deaths of these poor [...]

In the Mountains: Memorial Weekend Fun.
By Jane on June 8, 2011
You remember every summer we head to the mountains with the family? We have been going every year since I was a kid…that makes for many, many years. I feel very fortunate that we are so close to one of the most visited national parks in the country. People come here to camp, to tube, [...]

Finding new tenants is an arduous task.
By Jane on December 5, 2009
So, we have one room left in one of our houses that are for rent in Gotham City. There are already two dudes in the house and I’ve been trying to rent the third for some time now. With people going into foreclosure left and right, they’re renting their houses out way below value and flooding [...]

The girls and I are driving through the Midwest to get to Toronto!!
By Jane on July 6, 2010
You remember my Aussie cousin, MIA, who was touring around Mexico and Central America? Well she’s swinging back around to visit us one more time before she’s off to return to her home on the other side of the world. Since the last time I saw her before this was 20 years ago, I don’t want to [...]

More pictures of Daddy and son. Dick loves taking naps with the baby. Especially with baby on his chest. Look at the lovely men in my life. Delish!! (Yes, Dick, thank you, thank you. I’m the luckiest woman in the world. Ugh.) Benz will have a most unpleasant and hairy surprise if he tried to [...]

However, if you’re a smoker, DO NOT WATCH this commercial. You may be overcome with SUICIDAL THOUGHTS just from watching it. Because what you’ll realize is that there is NO hope [...]

Back in January, we married off my sister’s dog Oscar with my mom’s dog, Yuki. (Click HERE for the story.) The intent was so that they could legitimately have babies (even though Dick & I didn’t take this route at first). Lucy reminded me the other day that she was unsure this would actually happen [...]

Not a fan of spring mattresses, how about a futon mattress?
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The bed frames that we got for the girls are like platform beds where a box is not needed. Dick has a thing for futon mattresses and so wanted to get that particular kind for the girls since he believes they give you better support for your back. He hates spring mattresses. The girls were [...]

The girls are crazy about their daddy and whenever he travels, we all miss him dearly. The girls leave messages on his dry erase board to show how much they’ve missed him. They also know how to write their names in Persian. -Jane, Mommy to Thelma and Louise.

Annoyed by a Kiosk Vendor who oils, combs and straightens my hair.

So, we’re doing our best to make it to the Orchid Show and not be distracted by all the shops and plethora of THINGS. (Yes, I said plethora…what of it?) Then, one of those Kiosk Vendors who has the hair products/wigs/hair appliances gives me a “free sample“…a moisturizer to make your hair shiny. I take [...]
