Every year I think, THIS is going to be the year I’m going to decorate for Halloween. I love Halloween but inevitably, each year, we’d be lucky if we have a pumpkin in the front yard. Consistently, this has been the plan for the last 5 years and consistently every year, no Halloween decorations. However, [...]

Preggar Sweets Junkie: Krispy Kreme
By Jane on April 27, 2011
The girls’ best friend, Kristin Stewart, came over the other day to play. We had gone to sign them up for a summer camp together for a couple of weeks this summer. It was a crazy, blistering, unseasonably cold day that day. I made sure I asked the girls to bring sweaters but they refused [...]

By Jane on July 5, 2010
Our swim team had their first mock swim meet. Since we’ve never been on a swim team before, this was interesting to see and experience.I was amazed at how much work has to be done for a swim meet.

We venture out of our bubble and head to the MALL…it’s only been two years!
By Jane on March 7, 2011
I never go to the mall because everything I NEED is at the back of my house. So, I hardly ever leave “the bubble” and the mall is OUTSIDE “the bubble”. Plus, there’s nothing I NEED at the mall. Lots of stuff I WANT but not really NEED. And, if I am actually allow for time to spend at [...]

HORRIBLE! Kids committing suicide over being taunted for their sexuality.
By Jane on September 30, 2010
It seems that all I hear in the news these days is about kids who are bullied over their sexuality and more recently, at least 3 teenagers have taken their own lives in the last week or two alone! I am SO SADDENED and actually kind of IRATE at the SENSELESS deaths of these poor [...]

Besties Biking to get Books & Reading by the Stream.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
The next day and after the sleepover, I decide to take the girls to the library…oh yeah, and we’re biking to get there. I’m coming, I’m coming! The girls wave “hi” to passersby. So advanced in their young age. I could’t bike one-handed until a year ago.

Road tripping with my THREE kids: Benz’s first trip to Gotham City.
By Jane on August 22, 2011
We had one of our rentals empty out so it was time for me to head to Gotham City again and take care of business. Remember, by cleaning crew…I’m referring to myself. The last time we were in Gotham City was during my pregnancy and I had seen our Art Lounge for the first time [...]

Back to Metropolis and back to my regular Starbucks.
By Jane on September 9, 2011
So we’re back in Metropolis and where else are we going to go but my regular Starbucks. Every morning Julia goes for a walk and comes back so we can go have coffee. It’s still early morning (early for me) so it’s nice and cool…so we decided to walk. The girls haven’t ridden their bikes [...]

MUSHED AND STRANDED on the Interstate: The first time I ever ran out of gas.
By Jane on January 25, 2011
The first time I ever ran out of gas was 11 years ago when I was living in Toronto. I was on my way to work at the Ford F150 plant and out of nowhere, my car starts to slow down on the QEW (An interstate in Toronto). At the time, I owned a brand [...]

Translations from Aussie to American English.
By Jane on April 15, 2010
Whilst (Aussies say this alot, which is where Lucy picked it up from when she lived in Melbourne and has permeated into this Jane’s vocabulary.) my cousin was here visiting us from Australia, it was difficult understanding her at times. Not because of her accent, which is supercool, but because they have their own vocabulary! [...]

My sleeping beauties… I can’t believe how grown they are. Just the sweetest things in the world. I adore these girls. Such a difference from when Thelma was 18 months and Louise was just born. Louise was literally 3-4 days old. It’s true what they say…kids grow too fast. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. [...]

Thelma and Louise in a Black Nissan 350Z.
By Jane on November 13, 2009
I had to take Thelma and Louise to “work” with me the other day. I had a meeting with the General Manager at one of the car auctions we go to and since there was no sitter (Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were both at work) they had to tag along. They really didn’t want [...]

The girls see their room and kinda help with the closet.
By Jane on March 10, 2010
I held off as long as I could to surprise the girls with their “new” room. Even though I wasn’t finished, I was dying to show them. Plus, they had to come home from my parent’s house at some point. THEIR REACTION Louise was screaming like a crazed girl in love with some teeny-bopper celebrity. [...]

Jane: Victim of Forever Sharp Knife
By Jane on June 19, 2010
Around 7 years ago or so, I was DUPED into buying one of those FOREVER SHARP knives while shopping at Sam’s Club. I was minding my own business, shopping around, when I hear over the intercom… “Attention all shoppers. We will be giving away a FREE pearing knife in aisle [whatever aisle-like I remember]. Don’t miss [...]

Ladies Night at the Sports Bar never ceases to disappoint.
By Jane on August 24, 2010

Yes, I sometimes take pics of ROADKILL. Remember the other skunk and possum? This one is not as graphic. Poor thing looked so cute. Didn’t smell as cute though. Please use Pepe as a reminder that life is not guaranteed and anything can happen in the split of a second. Now go out and live [...]

Someone has a slight case of the Trucker Crack.
By Jane on March 24, 2010
I’m not sayin’ who, but with hipster jeans and low riders these days, girls be showin’ their asses just as much as da boyz. Showing some occasional crack still beats having your jeans up to your boobs. Snot me, iz someBUTTy else. -Jane, Occassional Victim of Low Rise Jeans. (Still doesn’t mean this is me.)
