So Dick and I haven’t been out in months. We’re just too busy and we enjoy time at home with our girls or playing ping pong. This year, Halloween fell on a Saturday so I was thinking of having a Halloween party at my house. But, like I said, we’re super busy and I just [...]

The girls pretending to be preggars, like their Mommy. PREGGAR LOUISE Oh and the hat and arm warmers are from Thelma and Louise’s best friend, Kristen Stewart. They’re from a company called Litte Miss Matched, where everything “matches” but is not exactly alike. See how the stripes are different colors on the hands? Aren’t they [...]

Family from LA, Austrailia, and Toronto visit us in Metropolis.
By Jane on March 23, 2010
As I said, I have a ton of family visiting me. My cousin, M.I.A., is visiting from Australia. The last time I saw her was 20 years ago when I was 15 and she was 5. Here we are at Niagara Falls. It’s 1989 and yes, I had permed hair back then and stone washed [...]

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, [...]

No, I’m not saying I’m HAWT. I’m HOT! It’s freaking 90F+ with 1000% humidity. Ok, not really, but that’s what it feels like. Getting into my car is like walking into a sauna. Even my sunglasses fog up. Having leather seats is nice except in the summer, my ass gets sizzled like fried eggs. Yes, [...]

Trying to cool off my temper. Take the kids to a fantastic park walking distance from our house.
By Jane on June 17, 2010
After I show the house, the sun has gone down and the weather is tolerable. The girls and I decide to walk to the park. This is the only smile I’m going to be able to muster today and it’s only because I’m with the girls and Dick is not around! THE PARK Our house [...]

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 [...]

Biking and Hill-Climbing Preggar.
By Jane on January 21, 2011
The other day, we were blessed with unseasonable warm weather for this time of the year so we decided to take our bikes out and enjoy it! Plus, we had to go get some groceries. The hill next to our house was still iced over in parts so we had to be super careful. Dick’s [...]

How much do you really need to be rich?
By Jane on August 11, 2010
That was the title of the article I came across this article on the homepage of Yahoo. You probably saw it too if Yahoo is your homepage. Click HERE for the article if you have’t seen it. However, before reading the article, I already knew the answer. Yes, I’m Mz. Smarty-pants Jane. “Rich” is not [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: I recycle Lucy’s black shirt and match it up with some Gap Maternity Jeans.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Lucy has a lot of old clothes at my parents house that just sits there…day after day, month after month, year after year. So I’ll often go through it to see what I can use since she isn’t! Why waste I say. Recycle! Take this black shirt for instance. Actually, Louise found this shirt in [...]

The thing about the holidays is that there’s a bazillion more people out than usual and when in line, you’re surrounded by people. Everywhere you go there is a line that you need to wait in. I’m in line and this guy behind me is freaking breathing down my neck and standing WAY TOO CLOSE [...]

My great aunt visits from France.
By Jane on August 13, 2010
My great aunt, MAGDA, from my dad’s side lives in South France and was visiting other family in the US so she decided to swing by Metropolis to come see us. The number of visitors we are having this year is insane! But, it’s the best kind of insanity…family! I’m so glad to see her [...]

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 [...]

Loud teeny-bopper destroys my HAPPY time and positivity.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
So while I’m trying to read my POSITIVE magazine (ODE) and feeling all good inside, relaxing, reading, enjoying the light breeze, having my coffee and such, I was ABRUPTLY INTERRUPTED by two teenie boppers who decided to sit down at the table right next to me and start YAMMERING ABOUT LOUDLY at such a level [...]

So my dear husband ingeniously decided to WASH my Beloved Buddha’s Boa. NOOOOOOO!!!!! WHY, OH WHY, WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING???!?!?!?!? And why would you even think that you could wash anything that has feathers? Innocently, he replied… “It was dirty!” Now it looks like wet dog / ratty fur! Buddha’s still happy but I’m [...]
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. [...]

Not one to usually hold back, I used to be one that complained all the time…or at least to the ones closest to me. I think I was at my most unhappy when I was in Detroit. The consultants we were working with at Ford were pissing me off, the telephone company was pissing me [...]

Thelma and Louise get dressed to go to “work” in fashion..
By Jane on May 3, 2010
Thelma and Louise were playing pretend the other day that they were both going to work. “What do people wear when they go to work?” “It depends on where you work. Where do you guys work?” “We work in FASHION. Like in the Devil Wears Prada.” “Well, then just put together whatever you think is [...]

Jane loses humiliation bet but can definitely ROCK a mustache!
By Jane on August 24, 2010
With Lucy and my cousins being in town, we’re playing lots of cards. You remember the popular Vietnamese card game, Tien Len? TIME FOR HUMILIATION BET Normally, I don’t play for money but we had been playing for a little just to make it interesting. Well, it got boring one night while we were at [...]

My girls found a souvenir of one of my greatest accomplishments while in high school. I received this button for successfully finishing the St. Jude Walk-a-thon twenty years ago when I was like 15 years old. The walk was a 26 12 mile (Apologies: Lapse in memory. It was 12 miles.) walk around downtown Metropolis. Some [...]

Big boobs aren’t all that. I’m loving my new mosquito bites.

There are some benefits to having had that dreadful SWINE FLU. It’s the all-new Swine Flu Diet! Great results! Surprised that I’ve lost about 5 pounds in the last week, I’ve hit an all time low of 113! This is pretty insane for me since I haven’t been this small since I was like 12. Now, [...]
