We’ve just left Parrot Mountain and now here we are at Wonderworks. Wonderworks calls themselves an “Amusement Park for the Mind” that offers things such as an Inversion Tunnel (My kids freaked out and refused to go thru this.), a Bubble Lab, Optical Illusion Art, a Light and Sound Zone, Disaster Simulators, and tons more!

A Persian man who will cook? Yes, I’m lucky…but only sometimes…
By Jane on October 20, 2009
In our house, red wine goes really well with cooking. Sometimes Dick will cook for us (excitement!) …when he’s craving Persian kabob that is. Therefore, every once in a while, I get the pleasure of having my hunka-hunka burnin’ love (Thanks Sharon O.) cook for me. Unfortunately, when Dick cooks…I still end up being an [...]

Your Daily Osho: Retrospective Wisdom. It’s worthless! No one will listen to an insane person.
By Jane on February 1, 2011
Ohhh, this is SO hard to do…being aware when you’re at your angriest! At least it was for me. I remember the days when I would get so angry at Dick about “things” and would just lash out at him. I’d bring up everything from the past even though it wasn’t relevant, and it would [...]

A few pictures of me when I was a Baby. Compared to my girls, I have next to nothing for pictures. Less than 10 total. My favorite. My mom and me at 6 weeks. Fanny Mae is so beautiful. Queen Latifa (18 yrs old here) and me at 8 weeks. So young! Dad and Me at [...]

It’s 15 years that we’ve been together and I feel very lucky to say that I am still in love with my dear husband, Dick. When I first saw Dick 15 years ago, he definitely caught my eye because he was quite HAWT and HANDSOME. But, looks alone are not enough for me. There are [...]

From SKIRT to DRESS: If you don’t like it, then you shoulda put a belt on it!
By Jane on November 10, 2010
As we sort through the clothes to keep during our CLOSET CLEANSING, I come across a skirt that the girls say they DON’T WANT anymore. I always have to sort through the stuff they dub “DON’T WANT/FIT” because even when they say they don’t like something, I know better…you know, cause I’m Mom! Funny thing [...]

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 [...]

Every once in a while, I like to go to the auction to check out the cars. Dick usually does it but I like to see what’s there and test drive them. I thought that Eminem, being a young man, would enjoy seeing all the different cars. He did. AUDI When we check out cars, [...]

Mayweather/Marquez: From Jane’s Perspective
By Jane on September 20, 2009
We’re watching the much anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez. I don’t know much about boxing but Dick enjoys it so I watch documentaries about boxers and a few fights PPV with Dick. I know he’s going to say “You’re so lucky for having me open your mind to so [...]

Ashereste Recipe: Persian Vegetable and Bean Hearty Soup. So great for cold weather.
By Jane on February 17, 2010
Ashereste is a Persian hearty soup that could easily be a meal on its own. This is an EXCELLENT soup for the cold, cold winter we’re having. Because this soup takes a while to make, I usually make a bunch and either have people over, give it away, or freeze it to eat another day.

Husbands need help with everything. Dick likes doing “everything” together because I’m super fun and make life exciting for him. We’re headed to Kinkos since Dick has to FedEx a couple of things and we’re stopping along the way before we go to the auction to test drive cars. Of course, Dick needs my help [...]

We had to stop by AT&T today because Dick’s new phone wasn’t working properly. The girls and I got bored waiting for them to resolve his problem and get him a new phone. Of course, BOREDOM prompts CREATIVITY. Therefore, I take my little point and shoot Canon out and I play.

My country bumpkin and city slicker.
By Jane on June 10, 2011
My girls are quite similar but yet also quite different. Says Thelma (Country Bumpkin): “I wanna live in a cozy country-like house and have a red truck.” Says Louise (City Slicker): “I wanna live in a big city and a big fancy house.” I just wanted to write it down and have it for the [...]

Early Maternity Wear: Sporty Maternity and layering clothes at 4 months.
By Jane on December 29, 2010
Being around 4 months pregnant, I kinda still fit in some of my clothes. Kinda. Being in that in-between stage where one does not yet look fully pregnant and is thicker in the middle than usual makes it difficult to find clothes to wear. I want to be able to use whatever clothes I have [...]

Miso soup is one of our family’s favorite soup to eat and we always order it when we eat sushi. It’s super healthy, super good, and super easy to make. This is a fast soup to make. Once the water boils, it’s just a matter of adding the ingredients and serving. No waiting for it [...]

Biking out the bar was easy, it’s going home that is the challenge.
By Jane on May 27, 2010
AT WILD WINGS We finally made it to Wild Wings on the bikes and without any casualties. Yay. However, the ride home concerns me more than the ride to get here. One would think that one of the BEST benefits to biking is the health benefits. It’s not. While being HEALTHY is important and good, [...]

By Jane on January 28, 2010
