So, I’m driving back from my parents house and I see a dead skunk in the road. It always makes me sad to see dead animals that have been hit by cars on the street and I always try to remember to say a small prayer for them. But, it’s weird because any time I [...]

SPRING: Thoroughly enjoying renewal, rebirth.
By Jane on April 16, 2010
The weather in Metropolos has be ABSOLUTELY GEORGEOUS!! Who needs California? Not right now anyway. Metropolos usually has a good 2-3 weeks of Spring and then it’s HOT, MUGGY SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER. I love SPRING for it’s rebirth of all the flowers, plants and trees. This is a special tulip that I bought in Holland while [...]

Jane uses a grinding wheel to sharpen her lawn mower blades.
By Jane on May 14, 2010
Here I was all ready to FINALLY cut my grass but now have been THWARTED (Definition THWART: to prevent someone from doing something) by Dick’s carelessness in leaving the string to his car tent lying around and now it’s wrapped itself around the blades of my mower. I can’t just unwind the string so I’m [...]

Since my parents have been gone and traveled to Vietnam to eat a ton of super yummy Vietnamese food, my dad finally made some Pho for us while Lucy was in town. This is the first time we have had pho in over two months and I was totally missing it!! If you don’t know [...]

The MADNESS that is Black Friday at 2:30 in the morning!!
By Jane on November 26, 2011
I’ve never been to any BLACK FRIDAY event. Normally, it starts at 5-6AM and I’m just not inclined at that hour to awake from my REM sleep to go and stand in a long-ass line, out in the cold, push and shove, and run around like a madwoman to try to get a few deals. [...]

Dick’s egg-crusted pans make Jane’s blood boil.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Whenever Dick uses our stainless steel pots and pans to scramble his eggs, I get so absolutely annoyed! It’s because whenever he does, he doesn’t cook them on high enough heat and doesn’t use enough oil so that they don’t stick to the pan. Instead, he cooks them on medium to low heat for too [...]

Jane: Seamstress. FAUX fur is FABULOUS.
By Jane on March 22, 2010
As you know, Thelma is big on ice skating. She has another small, local competition coming up. Only this time, Louise has decided to join in on the fun. Since they’re doing this “competition”, I have to find them some ice skating dresses to wear. I bought this simple dress online. Then I purchased a [...]

Tesla: The 100% Electric Sports Car
By Jane on January 3, 2010
Orlando was driving me around the other day and along the way, this sports car catches my eye. (No, my husband does not get jealous that I have male friends. Being an engineer, many of my friends are dudes.)

Mama F: Crossword Puzzle Addict
By Jane on January 3, 2010
It is of no surprise that whenever you see Mama F, she is doing a crossword puzzle. I’m always amazed by how many of these she can do. AT HOME

Lucy convinces us to go for cupcakes rather than TCBY.
By Jane on May 3, 2011
We were planning on heading to TCBY for my frozen yogurt fix but Lucy wanted to try this new cupcake place while she was in town visiting us again. You know how she is obsessed with cakes (lugging Louise’s birthday cake all the way from LA) and cupcakes these days. Of course, with shows like [...]

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, [...]

Thelma was inspired to do a painting the other day. She found this extra piece of plywood I had in our shed and painted it white. Working on her masterpiece. Truly an artist at work. It’s almost like she’s doing a dance. Go on girl! Get that creativity out! -Jane, Mother of Artistic Thelma.

Your Daily Osho: Choose Nature. Don’t be a loser.
By Jane on January 28, 2011
EVERDAY OSHO: CHOOSE NATURE Wherever you find that society is in conflict with nature, choose nature – whatever the cost. You will never be a loser. The thinking up to now has been that the individual exists for the society, that the individual has to follow what the society dictates. The individual has to fit [...]

The girls and I have a daily competition to see who can acquire the most bugs. Except, we don’t play PUNCH bugs. I don’t like being punched. Getting punched unexpectedly could easily throw this Momma into a bad mood. I already get a slight heart attack when they scream, BUG!!! And, nowadays, these bugs are [...]

How to cut a Pineapple…as painful as it is.
By Jane on August 30, 2010
Occasionally, we will get a craving for pineapples. I prefer FRESH over CANNED (Healthier, no preservatives, not imported from China, no High Fructose Corn Syrup) and this is the season for it. However, cutting a fresh pineapple is a bit of a PAIN. Not too bad, but for someone like me who doesn’t usually like [...]

Da Vinci sleeping pattern on hold while pregnancy ensues.
By Jane on April 12, 2011
I know my posts have been short and sparse…sorry. Not that I don’t have anything to post about…just no time. No time and sleeping more than usual…so even less time (and energy)! It used to be that I would sleep around 10-11pm, then wake up around 2-3am, work and blog until around 6-7am and then [...]
