Our city of Metropolis does not have large Chinatowns or Asian grocery markets like the bigger cities but it’s enough for us. Dick and I recently went to get some fish. If you want a good variety of fresh fish and at great prices, I would find out where your local Asian grocery store is. [...]

How NOT to hit on a pregnant woman…
By Jane on March 9, 2011
I’m minding my own business and am totally enthralled with the massive amounts of different orchids. My mom had finished looking at the orchids before me (since I was busy taking pictures) and had taken the girls to go ride on a choo-choo train that goes around the mall (Some new gimmick to get more [...]

Ladies Night at the Sports Bar never ceases to disappoint.
By Jane on August 24, 2010
June and I hit LADIES NIGHT at the local sports bar again and this time, we bring Eminem out with us so I can properly SCHOOL him in ping pong in public. Dick actually would love to join us but due to his injury, he’s not quite that mobile yet. The table is open and [...]

What are you going to get your sister for her birthday?
By Jane on December 10, 2009
Curious, I asked Louise about Thelma’s upcoming birthday. “So, what do you want to get Thelma for her birthday?” “I don’t know. Well…there is ONE thing …” “What is it?”

Does this give you any kind of inclination as to the state of my brains? I almost walked out the door like this. Only after a bit did I realize that something didn’t feel just quite right. Luckily I did make the necessary adjustments prior to venturing out in public. -Jane, Preggar Brained.

Dick brings in the platforms and we see just how well we measured them. Dick plops in the platform and it fits PERFECTLY. Thelma immediately sets up her bed.

My great aunt visits from France.
By Jane on August 13, 2010
My great aunt, MAGDA, from my dad’s side lives in South France and was visiting other family in the US so she decided to swing by Metropolis to come see us. The number of visitors we are having this year is insane! But, it’s the best kind of insanity…family! I’m so glad to see her [...]

My eclectic sister-in-law finds herself a beautiful African dress at Ross.
By Jane on September 10, 2011
After coffee, we stopped by Ross as we were walking home. My sister-in-law has a great eclectic style. She spots these African dresses and just loved them. She decides to try them on right there in the aisle instead of the changing room. Sometimes one is just too lazy to go to the changing room. [...]

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 [...]

Jane schools some boys in ping pong and gets a marriage proposal too.
By Jane on June 19, 2010
The other night, my cousins and I decide to go to the local sports bar since it was Ladies Night. You may or may not know that I love to shoot pool. It’s one of my favorite pastimes. I started playing in high school, used to skip class in college to go play (A couple [...]

Your daily Benz: Sleeping Beauty.
By Jane on June 14, 2011
My little man is changing daily and I’m just barely keeping up with all the pictures. I love taking pictures of babies when they’re sleeping. There are so many facial expressions and positions…it just never gets old. And, depending on the angle the picture is taken, Benz can look so different in each picture. Sometimes [...]

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 [...]

Our tribute to Sunday Dim Sum Brunch
By Jane on October 4, 2009
We love to eat Dim Sum but there are no restaurants that have this in our area. So, I have the next best thing. Frozen dumplings. So, I whipped up these fried vegetarian leek gyoza for our Sunday “brunch”. It’s fast, you just follow the directions on the bag, and voila! Serve with some sauce [...]

George Costanza was on to something when he made a bed under his desk.
By Jane on November 11, 2009
I am known to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in a matter of minutes. I have no trouble sleeping on a train, a plane, in a car, on the bus, etc. I’m not narcoleptic as my dear sister would proclaim but I have fallen asleep while talking on the phone before, mid sentence. [...]

The Paparazzi are hanging out at the Ken Pave Salon waiting for Jessica Simpson .
By Jane on January 8, 2010
We had just gotten back to Lucy’s house and there’s a huge crowd of paparazzi outside of Ken Pave’s Salon. I’m wondering who they’re waiting for but given that it’s Ken Pave, I’m assuming it’s either Eva Longoria or Jessica Simpson.

A foggy / sunny Monday Morning.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
I woke up this morning to a lovely fog AND sunshine. It’s a great start to a beautiful Monday. I can only say that though because I don’t have to do the 9-5 like other people. I used to HATE Mondays. THE BACKYARD You know how the first thing you do when you wake up [...]

There’s a viral post going around on Facebook with accompanying photo below about a baby mouse who chewed through a box of Viagra at a pharmacy. Not sure if this is for real or not but it’s nonetheless pretty funny! Have a MOST EXCITING weekend my friends. Hopefully just as excited as this mouse. -Jane, [...]
