We take the kids to see the latest Karate Kid flick with Will Smith’s son, JADEN, and JACKIE CHAN. The girls have already see the originals and LOVED them. The latest rendition was actually decent and Jaden was surprisingly a very good actor! Of course, the storyline was completely predictable and almost exactly like the [...]

Finally ready to assemble the Twin Beds.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
After nearly waiting two weeks in high anticipation of having their own NEW beds, we are finally ready to start the assembly process. We start with one bed and take out all the pieces. I’m in charge of reading the instructions and telling everyone what to do. As Dick points out, “You ARE the Eng-gin-eer!”

With the girls being so excited about soccer, Dick wanted surprise the girls by taking them to an actual match so they could feel the energy of being at a game and see how competitive women’s soccer is played.

Said the police officer: You have alot of naked art in your house!
By Jane on November 9, 2009
Most people I know aren’t comfortable with NUDITY. At least not publicly. So, if you’re not comfortable with nudity, go no further than this sentence. The same disclaimer that I put when I posted the song “My Dick”, this also applies. If you’re easily offended, if you’re around someone easily offended..etc…THEN DON’T GO ANY FURTHER IN [...]

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.

I Hop, U Hop, We All Hop for IHOP!
By Jane on August 30, 2009
We only eat out occasionally when I’m lazy to cook or there’s a special occasion. Today was a lazy day so we decide to take a bike ride out the INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES for breakfast. Now, I’m a mediocre, well almost novice bike rider. My limited riding in my childhood involved a used Pink Panther bike my mom Fanny Mae bought at a garage sale. My sister and I shared it and we took turns riding up and down my neighbor’s 200ft driveway. Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. You get the picture. Fanny Mae didn’t allow us to ride on the neighborhood streets for fear that we would get hit by cars.

Jane and Dick celebrate 15 years together! How we met and how I hit the “jackpot”.
By Jane on February 3, 2011
Fifteen years ago, I meet Dick at an International Party at a nightclub. Yes, a nightclub. I broke at least one if not several of “The Rules” from that dating book written by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider by accepting to go on a date with him the very next day. Plus, I’m pretty sure [...]
Stomachs are hurting BIG TIME but Louise and I refuse to do #2 in public.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
After Louise’s shoot is done, we are heading home…it’s two hours remember? We had just been on the road for about half an hour when my stomach started hurting and starts to gurgle. You know the kind where you’re like “Hmmmm…not good.” It’s the kind of gurgle that one gets when THE RUNS (A.k.a. Diarhea) is [...]

Sade’s New Video: Babyfather. Just the nostalgia I was talking about!
By Jane on May 6, 2010
Yet another great video introduced by my beloved Perez. It’s SADE’S new video for her latest release, Babyfather. The song is SPECTACULAR! Before this Album, Soldier of Love, Sade had not released an album since her hit, Lovers Rock. I loved this album! Sade’s voice is EFFORTLESS, SOOTHING and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The video is also [...]

Jane runs out of gas, literally, not figuratively.
By Jane on January 25, 2011
So I’m on my way to do a family photo shoot and it’s about 30 minutes away from my house. I’m driving the Caddie and I hardly every drive it…I’m usually just the passenger. I’ve never owned a Caddie before (Yes, this is the same Caddie that we got locked out of.). It’s not really [...]

Thelma and Louise reaping the benefits of my yardwork.
By Jane on November 22, 2009
The girls are playing in the front yard while I finished cleaning up the sidewalk. They did help me a little but being kids, their attention span and need to play took over. Since my yard has just been newly cut and cleaned, they are FULLY able to enjoy our yard. See how I contribute to the [...]

So, it never fails. One minute my kitchen will be spotless, and the next thing I know, it looks like a TSUNAMI has hit it. I mean seriously, how many people live here? How long would it take you to clean all this???

Alright, I know I’m jumping around in time with going to Gotham City to Thanksgiving to being pregnant but now I’d like to take us back to Gotham City. Sorry, being pregnant makes you all sorts of scatterbrained. What I love about being in the city is all the culture and arts that are offered within walking distance. Within minutes [...]
