Since Dick and I were arguing about making the bed, there was no time to make dinner. 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 discovered this great tapenade pasta one day while shopping at Trader Joe’s where they [...]

Convertibles: Love them or not?
By Jane on September 21, 2010
Since it was summer, we had been looking for a convertible for the girls to enjoy. We found one and the kids (including the big one that is my husband) LOVE it! They love it so much they don’t want to sell it. It’s like a roller coaster ride for them. I’m not sure what [...]

My sleeping beauties… I can’t believe how grown they are. Just the sweetest things in the world. I adore these girls. Such a difference from when Thelma was 18 months and Louise was just born. Louise was literally 3-4 days old. It’s true what they say…kids grow too fast. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. [...]

My Cinderella Girls working hard to clean their room.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
After we get the old bed out, there’s still plenty of cleaning to do prior to moving in and setting up the new beds. The girls reminded me of this phrase that I’ve must have repeated before, “It always gets worse before it gets better Mommy!” Yep, true dat, girls. But I’ve trained these girls [...]

Finally Jane sees a celebrity: Another Jane…Lynch from Glee at Urth Cafe.
By Jane on January 11, 2010
It’s our last day in LA and we had just spent the night at Lucy and Martha’s house. We wake up and decide to go to Urth Cafe AGAIN for breakfast. Yes, if they had one in Metropolis, I would be a regular there as well. Lucy, Martha and the girls head over there first [...]

Dick locks the keys in the Caddie, while it’s still running!
By Jane on January 14, 2011
The other day we were going to the grocery store and so since it was cold, Dick decided to warm up the car for a bit first. It is always a good idea to warm up your car before you take off but especially in the winter. I’ve always hated having to wait to warm [...]

Trying to avoid getting pushed off the ledge to see rooftop views of the G20 Protest.
By Jane on July 12, 2010
THE ROOF In search of some worthy protest excitement, we turn the corner and then we see a bunch of people heading up the stairs to this building nearby. My aunt doesn’t want to go but as you can see, MIA is urging her. She is successful. But once we get up there, we see [...]

My pathed walk-way leading up to my front door has been unusable since the end of summer. Remember my Fall Chrystanthamums that were so beautiful and took over the sidewalk? Well, they are no longer beautiful but instead are dry, brown and have since passed away…expired. That’s a nice way of putting it huh? Ex-pi–urd! [...]

A Persian man who will cook? Yes, I’m lucky…but only sometimes…
By Jane on October 20, 2009
In our house, red wine goes really well with cooking. Sometimes Dick will cook for us (excitement!) …when he’s craving Persian kabob that is. Therefore, every once in a while, I get the pleasure of having my hunka-hunka burnin’ love (Thanks Sharon O.) cook for me. Unfortunately, when Dick cooks…I still end up being an [...]

Jane’s iPhone and Instagram pics. Yes, I caved and got an iPhone!
By Jane on July 29, 2011
I’ve caved in an replaced my SHITTY HTC Freestyle with an iPhone. Yes, I know I said I refused o be forced into getting a smartphone but I realized after all the many troubles that I had with the Freestyle, that I would need a smartphone…and really, the only one I think suits me is [...]

Jane: Almost a FOOL but not quite!
By Jane on April 1, 2010
Yes, my birthday is shy of April Fools by one day. Therefore, this Jane is ALMOST a fool but NOT QUITE. Except, it’s possible I am quite GULLIBLE. My cousin sent me a text this morning: “Surprisingly, I’m getting engaged with my best friend from high school around August. We will send the invitations around [...]

The Chalk Guy: Julian Beever and his AMAZING pavement drawings.
By Jane on November 12, 2009
I just got a forward from Dick’s cousin. He’s a dentist who has a lot of time to send a bunch of email forwards to us. LOL (J.K. We love you!) I never read any long forwards. I am A.D.D. and like I said, wordy stuff with no pictures will NOT capture my attention. Short, [...]

My THREE kids. More of the girls and their bro.
By Jane on July 8, 2011
Although we didn’t plan it this way, having a baby years after the older sister has worked out superb for us. I have the best helpers and big sisters a Mommy could ever ask for. Thelma and Louise just adore their little bro. I’m still not used to saying I have THREE kids, not to [...]

Simple and super tasty Almond Crusted Chilean Sea Bass.
By Jane on February 11, 2011
I made some Chilean Sea Bass the other day for my dad’s birthday. All I did was sprinkle salt, pepper, and my special mushroom seasoning (optional) and cooked the bass in the oven at 350F for about 30-40 minutes (or until it’s cooked). Use olive oil to coat the pan. I then added a crushed [...]

SOMEONE forgot to empty their pockets before putting their clothes in the dirty pile.
By Jane on March 14, 2010
I’m doing like a thousand loads of laundry…at least that’s what it feels like. Of course I don’t bother to empty the pockets of the clothes. I expect whoever puts their stuff in the dirty pile to do that. I don’t have time to double check for these things. So, I go to retrieve all [...]

Louise Helps Grandma with the Dishes
By Jane on November 8, 2009
So we’re at the Grandparents house. I love coming here because there is always great Vietnamese food, compliments of my fantastic cooking Dad! Yes, my dad kicks ass at Vietnamese cooking. It’s the reason why I don’t cook alot of Vietnamese food at home. Since I live less than a mile away, it’s just too convenient for me to come [...]

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 [...]

It seems this last year we’ve had lots of visitors and when they visit, we usually chill on my back porch, play ping pong or go biking or all of the above. So, my latest visitor was my Cousin and his son, Dumbledore, who I call my cousin too because it’s so hard to remember [...]

Your Daily Benz: Muscular Benz.

Benz loves to stand and climb and gets quite the leg workout these days. He even goes so far as to stand on this tippy-toes. This is not ballet! Check out those swexy muscular calves! Daddy’s hoping these are soccer calves. -Jane, Mommy to Muscular Benz.

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 [...]
