As I mentioned, occassionally, Dick and I and the girls do some small-time modeling/acting on the side. It’s fun and it’s really nice to unexpectedly get a check in the mail every now and then. I get a call last week from my agent saying that HGTV would like to use me for another Fine Living [...]

Reasonable Ron’s AGAIN: This time, it’s just me and the girls.
By Jane on May 8, 2010
As I mentioned, the Lexus we just got needs two tires replaced. However, when we went to have them changed, we discovered that the LOCK KEY for the WHEELS is missing. So, I have to pick one up at Lexus first. This key is necessary because one of the lug nuts is a different size…used [...]

Thelma, being almost 10 and anti-pink/anti-girly, no longer plays with her Build-a-Bear. Well, that is, until recently, she discovered that the same clothes may fit her unsuspecting little brother. Little Benz sitting innocently and happily. Now look at him. He’s horrified. “Why sissy, why?!?!?” Not a happy camper. He no likey-likey. Then the other day, [...]

By Jane on June 9, 2011
I had promised the girls we would take them to see Kung Fu Panda 2 when it came out, even though I knew it was close to my due date. Since Benz decided to come a little early, we thought we would brave it and take him along too! Ok, so this might put me [...]

Jane refuses to be FORCED to pay the Smartphone data package and opts for a NON-SMART phone.
By Jane on March 14, 2011
So, I’ve had my LG phone for about 2 years now and I HATE it! The touch screen sucks and I fat finger and call random people all the time. Dick has been bugging me to get a new phone…imagine that! A husband who has to beg his wife to buy something new! Well, I [...]

Back in January, we married off my sister’s dog Oscar with my mom’s dog, Yuki. (Click HERE for the story.) The intent was so that they could legitimately have babies (even though Dick & I didn’t take this route at first). Lucy reminded me the other day that she was unsure this would actually happen [...]

MUST WATCH: Man with no arms plays the piano.
By Jane on August 27, 2010
I saw this header on my Yahoo! page and was intrigued. This young man, who lost his arms in a accident when he was 10, was on China’s version of our America’s Got Talent and showed what TALENT really is. It moved me to tears as well. I REALLY need to stop complaining about my [...]

Freezing food makes for less trips to the grocery store. It’s time to be efficient!!
By Jane on January 23, 2010
This year, I’m trying to be more efficient with my time. We’re so busy that I don’t have time to run around to go grocery shopping as often as I do. After spending time with J Lo and Mama F, I noticed how they would freeze meats and veggies so that if they wanted to [...]

Our first snow this year! It WAS a Winter Wonderland in Metropolis!
By Jane on December 5, 2009
Thankfully, Thelma and Louise got to see some snow today. They were starting to think it didn’t exist. Metropolis doesn’t snow often but it used to. Growing up, I remember the snow coming up to my knees…albeit, my knees were closer to the ground then. Still, we got snow and it was always SUPER exciting [...]

Confuchsia brought her kids over to my house the other day so that the kids could play and the adults can hang. Much to my surprise, when she came over, Confuchsia said… “I’m gonna cook for you today. You just relax and hangout and I’m gonna make you some REAL SOUL FOOD.” I was so [...]

My New Mi Goi (Ramen). Instructions included.
By Jane on March 1, 2010
Ramen, in Vietnamese, is “Mi Goi“. And I don’t know any Vietnamese people who do not eat “Mi Goi”. If you don’t, I would have to question your true Vietnamese-hood! So, remember I decided to venture out in life and try something new? I decided to try a new ramen that no one recommended to [...]
