We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

By Jane on May 26, 2010
My sister gave me her old iPhone, which I use SOLEY for playing games. (I have a different phone I use for calls/texting.) The two games I like to play are WORDS WITH FRIENDS (which is a SCRABBLE application) and SCRAMBLE (which is a BOGGLE application). Yes, I’m a NERD. I LOVE playing these two [...]

Jane: Post Partum Nester and Closet Organizer.
By Jane on June 18, 2011
Since I was just taking things in stride prior to the birth of Benz, I didn’t really get a chance to nest much. Therefore, after he came the clutter in Dick and my closets were annoying the crap out of me. Here’s a glimpse of Dick’s closet. Our house is an older house so we [...]

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 [...]

Shockingly, I come to the sunny state of California to cold and rain. Cold doesn’t really mean cold. It means, cold for LA…which is only mild spring-like weather for everyone else. Today was cloudy with occassional rain, and totally blah blah blah. It feels like April showers weather and is around the same temperature. High is around 60F [...]

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.)

Dick threatens to buy me orthopedic shoes.
By Jane on May 4, 2010
Recently, I’m hobbing around like a GIMP because I pick my foot so much that I can’t walk on it because it’s has open cuts from me pulling off my skin to ease the itching of the new skin that has grown back oh, probably hundreds of times. EXTREMELY PAINFUL! Instead, you’ll see me limping [...]

Having owned the non-self cleaning kind of ovens for a long time, this Jane totally loves using the self-cleaning function on my oven. BEFORE Here’s the before, with lots of spilled cheese from pizzas and other random stuff that has fallen and burnt to a crisp. Yes, it’s quite nasty.

Staying cool at the pool. Benz, swimming at two months.
By Jane on August 8, 2011
I don’t know about where you live, but here in the South, the weather is SWELTERING hot. You know how I never leave my bubble and despite a 30-minute minimum drive, we are at the pool quite a bit so that we can cool off. We’re usually busy during the day and it’s so hot [...]

Huge fluffy snowflakes hit Metropolis!

Out of nowhere and unexpectedly, Metropolis was hit with a HUGE, FLUFFY snow. The girls were so excited since we missed the big snow last year.

My favorite toothbrush. Economical and Ecological.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
It is reported that 50 million pounds of toothbrushes are dumped into landfills yearly. That’s alot of freakin’ toothbrushes. I’ve always wanted to recycle and have been just too lazy to. No more excuses and this family finally on the recycle bandwagon. In addition to recycling, I figure why not use ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY toothbrushes? Made by [...]

Attraction to others based on Survival.
By Jane on April 9, 2010
One night while we were over at my parents house, we were watching TV. We don’t have any channels at our house because: (1) We don’t have time to watch TV. (2) I would use it as a babysitter too much. (3) My kids would harass me constantly to buy every toy advertised. (4) I [...]
