You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.

Jihad Jane? Definitely a case of mistaken identity here.
By Jane on March 10, 2010
Apparently this JANE was conspiring with terrorists and was hired to kill that controversial Swedish political cartoonist Lars Vilks. JIHAD JANE. I don’t know anything about him or her but reading “Jihad Jane” on CNN.com completely caught my eye. Click HERE for the full story. -Jane, Not Jihad Jane.

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 check out of the Hotel Carmel in Santa Monica but before we left, I asked the Concierge, “Where’s the closest busstop and which bus do we need to take to get to West Hollywood.” The gentleman didn’t know but asked the valet gentleman to assist me. He happened to be Latino so in his [...]

You guys are the best, especially you, only you, always only you. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Yes, he can be quite a sweetie. Hope [...]

New Toilet Seat Cover with Kids Lid!!
By Jane on March 29, 2011
It was time to get a new toilet seat cover for one of our toilets. The old one was still in great shape, except, there was a chip on the seat that made it look like poo was stuck to it. Every time I looked at it, it was my first thought too. But seriously, [...]

Thelma goes to the ER…again! Appendicitis???
By Jane on June 12, 2010
My poor thing has been having stomach pains and diarrhea all day and occasionally vomiting. I thought maybe it was just a thing that would pass. It wasn’t until that night when she couldn’t sleep and was crying because it hurt so bad that I started to become really worried. I was sleeping, when Thelma [...]

Tooth Fairy makes multiple stops???
By Jane on August 7, 2010
Louise asked me the other day… “Mommy, does the Tooth Fairy really exist or is it just you and daddy sticking money under my pillow.” Gasp! Like the SANTA question, I didn’t know how to respond so I did the same thing when asked about Santa. “Do YOU think the Tooth Fairy is real?” “Well, I [...]
