My 1.5 acre property has a massive amount of trees. I love it because I feel so much closer to nature yet I don’t have to live in the boonies away from civilization.

Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]

I was taking my girls to karate when OUT OF NOWHERE, a bird flies right in front of my car! Now, I’m one of those that swerve and NEARLY KILL MYSELF to avoid hitting an animal but this poor thing didn’t even give me a chance. When I saw it dart out in front of [...]

SmasherJane smashes at Words with Friends.
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 [...]

Some added PIZZAZZ: More Custom wall painting
By Jane on March 11, 2010
In addition to painting the walls, I also wanted to add something “extra”. I went online and found some inspiration for the room. The flowers are just beautiful. I love the colors but decide to replicate it in a simpler form. I pencil the drawing on the wall first. This is where the bulk of [...]

Thelma and Louise treat Ducky and Monk like their own kids, changing their clothes, feeding them…taking them everywhere we go. If we have to leave them at home, the girls always sweetly explain to Ducky and Monk why they aren’t allowed to come with us. Today, the girls decided to homeschool their own “kids”.

My girls found a souvenir of one of my greatest accomplishments while in high school. I received this button for successfully finishing the St. Jude Walk-a-thon twenty years ago when I was like 15 years old. The walk was a 26 12 mile (Apologies: Lapse in memory. It was 12 miles.) walk around downtown Metropolis. Some [...]

Fine, compromise mother f****r. U happy now?
By Jane on June 17, 2010
If you’ve noticed that I have gone back and put a bunch of asterisks in between words like f**k and f*****g or mother f*****r in recent stories, it’s because my dear husband, who loves to read about himself, does not like to be referred to in this manner. I told him that’s they way I [...]

Right song + Wrong timing = Embarrassing Moment.
By Jane on November 25, 2009
June Cleaver and I became good friends when Thelma was in public school for Kindergarten. One of the few good things that came out of that. June and I connected right away being that June is also an exceptional artist, she’s groovy, down-to-earth and unpretentious…she’s not your typical “Mommy” and isn’t phased by some of [...]

F-bomb can land you in jail. F#$%, should I be worried???
By Jane on October 27, 2009
Looks like my tendencies to spurt out an f-bomb could land my ass in jail! There seems to be a man from Kansas City who will be facing 30 days in a county jail for going on an f-bomb rampage in a road-rage altercation with another man. I wonder if he told the judge to “F#$%” [...]

Dick gets “new” shoes. Tenant leaves behind a pair of Nike Lebron James 20-5-5.
By Jane on September 1, 2011
We always have “gifts” that the tenants leave behind and it’s usually because they don’t want to move their crap or they just don’t want it anymore. We’ve gotten a stereo, beds, furniture, pots and pans, washer and dryer, etc. While cleaning up the garage of our property, Dick found a pair of men’s tennis [...]

Ice covers Metropolis. Schools are out…well…not all of them.
By Jane on December 16, 2010
It’s been damn cold here in Metropolis. Last night, we just got covered with a blanket of ice. One of the great things about homeschooling is that if there is inclement weather, it makes no difference to us. My kids are quite dissaapointed by this. “What do you mean we’re still having school?” -Jane, Homeschool Mom.

An unconventional Christmas Day spent at Santa Monica Beach.
By Jane on December 27, 2009
We spent Christmas Day this year chillin’ at Santa Monica Beach. Somehow it doesn’t really feel like Christmas when you’re at the beach on a sunny day and its about 60F.

Halloween shopping at Spirit Halloween.
By Jane on October 21, 2010
Lucy was in town over the weekend so we took the girls shopping for costumes since they have been wanting Halloween costumes for the last 2 months. Louise has been checking them out online and has already changed her mind 3 times…each time telling me she’s ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT going to change her mind. Good thing [...]

The usual mountains, with exception of the snake.
By Jane on July 21, 2011
With Lucy in town and it being the 4th of July weekend, we also decided to go back to the mountains for yet another day of chillaxin’ in the mountains. Are you getting bored of my stories yet? Are you starting to see a pattern in our simple lives? Nearly every summer for the past [...]

Not exactly roughing it for a third world country.
By Jane on March 1, 2011
The last time I was in Vietnam was over ten years ago and alot has changed since then. What used to be rustic and poor-looking has turned into a metropolitan nouveau city with plenty of tourism. From the pictures of the hotels that my family stayed in, they weren’t exactly “roughing it” in any rustic-type [...]

We break in June’s new crib for Halloween: Great food, great friends.
By Jane on November 2, 2011
For Halloween, we went over to my friend and partner in crime, June Cleaver’s new house. You may remember, we spent last Halloween together too. June is in the midst of making some of her super yummy Chicken Bacon Chowder and Cheddar Biscuits. Also here is Confuscia, a dear friend that I met through Benz [...]

New Toilet Seat Cover with Kids Lid!!
By Jane on March 29, 2011
It was time to get a new toilet seat cover for one of our toilets. The old one was still in great shape, except, there was a chip on the seat that made it look like poo was stuck to it. Every time I looked at it, it was my first thought too. But seriously, [...]
