MIA, June Cleaver and I end the night by riding the bull! Yes, by that time we were ready to take the plunge and ride that large mechanical piece of hide. After watching several people fall off and hearing everyone go “OHHH!!!”, we did our best to try not to fall off. So, here you [...]

I was driving the other day when a car caught my eye. What is that white boxy thing in the front there? I’ve never seen one before. Couldn’t even begin to tell what kind it was. I keep driving hoping to catch up with it so I can see. Even with my lasered eyes, you’d [...]

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

Getting kids to cooperate for family Christmas Pictures ain’t easy.
By Jane on December 10, 2010
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. [...]

Em discovers Jean Diapers on a late night run to Walmart.
By Jane on August 26, 2010
My whole family is a family of LATE-NIGHTERS, minus Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, so, it’s great to have a 24-hour Super Walmart that is accessible to us. What are we looking to buy? Nothing in particular. Em spots Jean Diapers! “Sick!” Spoken like a true teenager. I just think it’s funny that my 18-year old [...]

Not exactly roughing it for a third world country.
By Jane on March 1, 2011
The last time I was in Vietnam was over ten years ago and alot has changed since then. What used to be rustic and poor-looking has turned into a metropolitan nouveau city with plenty of tourism. From the pictures of the hotels that my family stayed in, they weren’t exactly “roughing it” in any rustic-type [...]

Salade Olivieh: Persian Chicken/Egg/Potato Salad. YUM!
By Jane on September 26, 2009

A foggy / sunny Monday Morning.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
I woke up this morning to a lovely fog AND sunshine. It’s a great start to a beautiful Monday. I can only say that though because I don’t have to do the 9-5 like other people. I used to HATE Mondays. THE BACKYARD You know how the first thing you do when you wake up [...]

Prior to the the kids having their Halloween fun, the adults had gotten their Halloween fun on too! You know I like to dress up so this year, Jane and Dick played Cops and Robbers. I told Dick to grow out his beard to make him look a little scruffier than usual so he let [...]

Kwik Kwote: Chick-fil-A on a Sunday
By Jane on October 4, 2009
I’m sitting outside…guess where…yes, Starbucks. I see two male teenagers sitting in their car, ready to leave to get to their next destination. Teenboy 1 to teenboy 2: “Dude, do you mind going thru the drive-thru of Chick-fil-a for a sec?… …Oh fuck! It’s Sunday, dude. They’re closed.” Now, how many of you have said [...]

Benz has been crawling for the last month or so and wants to go places. The other day, he wanted to go mess with the blinds, one of his favorite past times, and got stuck between the bed and the wall. I had put a pillow in between there so he wouldn’t hurt himself but [...]

Swine Flu: To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate?
By Jane on October 1, 2009
I just read that a new H1N1 flu vaccination is on its way to the public so am I in high anticipation like everyone else? I don’t know too many people who are excited to be getting a sharp needle in your arm, or leg, or anywhere else! Lucky for me that I don’t like [...]

Pregnancy Woes: Jane needs Depends.
By Jane on May 2, 2011
Quite embarrassing as it is, I must bring it to light because I feel I am not the only one out there that is experiencing random pregnancy incontinence. Remember how I mentioned having leakage problems during the winter. Well, it was around the same time RHINITIS was at its worst and I was feeling the [...]

If you have allergies or are prone to stuffy noses, try the Neti Pot.
By Jane on February 4, 2011
As you know, I’ve been plagued with Rhinitis (aka Stuffy Nose) but it has since gotten better in the second semester (thank the Lord!). Winter time and one is also more prone to stuffy or runny noses, sinuses, congestion, etc. One thing that helps immensely is the NETI POT. You may have seen it promoted [...]
