Since the girls fell asleep while I was finishing up our Sponge Bob pumpkin, they were surprised to see that Mommy didn’t screw up the carving job. I’m glad my “customers” were happy with their order.

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, [...]

Jane’s Teenage Diet & Exercise Plan. LOL
By Jane on February 25, 2010
Another great find in my vintage GREEN INDEX CARD HOLDER. Like many teenagers these days, body image was important and I was always concerned with my weight (which lead to my eventual bout with Bulimia). Apparently, when I was a teenager, I thought this is all it would take to lose weight. The bulk of [...]

We’re on our way to LaLa Land!!
By Jane on December 11, 2009
We’re off to Los Angeles, California, otherwise known as Lala Land. We’re super excited to see my sister, Lucy Lu and Dick’s sister’s family and his Mom for the Holidays. We get through security after having basically stripped down. It’s so ridiculous that we have to take off shoes.

Jane Rant: I hate pumping gas.
By Jane on March 4, 2011
I really hate having to stop and get gas. It’s just one of those annoying repetitive tasks! Like doing laundry! I hate standing there, doing nothing, sometimes in the cold, sometimes in the hot (cause you can’t have the car on), and waiting for my gas tank to fill. So mundane. Boring. If I were [...]

A clean kitchen and good wine is a must.
By Jane on October 12, 2009
Cooking when the kitchen is dirty is just not fun. I just emptied the dishwasher, put away more dirty dishes, cleaned off the counters, have my wine and NOW I’m ready to cook! Anyone else must start off with a clean slate before a new mess is made? -Jane, Must-be-Clean Cook

By Jane on May 5, 2011
Louise often runs with her Daddy and wanted to join a running group. Dick found one called Girls on the Run. So, for about 8 weeks or so, Louise had been going twice a week to practice. At the end of that term, they were to run a 5K…which is a little over 3 miles!! Three miles!!! I’m [...]

Jane: Possessed by the monthly demon.
By Jane on November 12, 2009
I get so annoyed when Dick asks me to do stuff he can easily do himself. Like using me as a third party to relay messages. What am I your personal assistant??? This is the time of the month where I get all huffy puffy, fussy wussy, and bitchy-bitchy. Things like this normally wouldn’t bother [...]

Man, do I love watermelon. Oh, and being lazy to spit out seeds, I prefer seedless. I’m so excited that watermelon season has started! I pretty much live off watermelon in the summer. That and corn on the cob! Looks like I tried to stash one under my dress no? (Which you may recognize. [...]

By Jane on November 9, 2010
It seems every couple of months, we have to go through a CLOSET CLEANSING. This time it’s for the kids’ closet. As you know, I can’t stand a chaotic mess so I make the girls clean out their closet. They’re complaining of not having enough space so we also decide to get rid of anything [...]

Tesla: The 100% Electric Sports Car
By Jane on January 3, 2010
Orlando was driving me around the other day and along the way, this sports car catches my eye. (No, my husband does not get jealous that I have male friends. Being an engineer, many of my friends are dudes.)

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 [...]

Babies and Doggies…Benz and Oscar’s forced photo shoot.
By Jane on September 26, 2011
One day Auntie Lucy was spending some time with her nephew Benz. Benz was quite happy and content to just hang with Auntie. However Aunt Lucy got this “brilliant” idea to try to take a picture of my baby with her baby. (Hmmm…Does that make them “cousins”?) She thought, what a great picture it would [...]

Mountain of Laundry = Housework = Insanity.
By Jane on August 28, 2010
I’m not sure how it got to this point…well, yes I do. I just haven’t done it. Folded them that is. They’re clean. I dislike doing laundry very much. And, I have no qualms about sending my family out in public in wrinkled clothes. I may be anal about other things…laundry is not one of [...]
