Hangnails are the absolute WORST. They are little pieces of torn skin around your cuticles and it’s usually because your skin is dry. Mine is dried to hell from painting and washing my hands constantly. Plus, it’s winter and my bony hands just get dry. One time, I held my own hand and I was [...]

Boursin Cheese and Mamma Mia starts off 2010 for us.
By Jane on January 1, 2010
It’s about 10:30 when we’re done eating our yummy sushi at Katsuya so we head to Lucy’s house to chill. We’re watching the countdown on CNN but I think it’s a replay of the dropping of the ball in NY’s Time Square. Whatever, it’s still almost midnight for us so we use it as our own West Coast [...]

Dick braves riding the Greyhound. We need high speed rails in the US people!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Dick has to go to Gotham City to pick up another car. He decides at the last minute to do this and so airfare is ridiculous. With no other options, he decides to brave the Greyhound. I am fearful because just last year, I read this horrible story about an innocent bus-riding young man who gets [...]
Recipe: Pan Seared Red Snapper and Stripe Bass and Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves. (Ca Chien)
By Jane on March 2, 2010
We just went shopping at our local Asian grocery store and bought some fresh fish. Now to cook it up! The fancy way to say how we’re preparing this is “pan searing” the fish. Basically, we’re frying it in a pan. In Vietnamese, fried fish is called “Ca Chien” and it’s quite simple. I picked [...]

I saw this on one of my friend’s Facebook wall and found it QUITE amusing. A woman is standing in front of a mirror, nude, staring at herself and not liking what she’s seeing one bit. Turning this way and that, she says to her husband, “I feel fat, old, ugly and saggy, and I [...]

Finally ready to assemble the Twin Beds.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
After nearly waiting two weeks in high anticipation of having their own NEW beds, we are finally ready to start the assembly process. We start with one bed and take out all the pieces. I’m in charge of reading the instructions and telling everyone what to do. As Dick points out, “You ARE the Eng-gin-eer!”

Mommy, it’s summer, we want MOHAWKS.
By Jane on June 24, 2010
Thelma and Louise came up to me the other day requesting that I give them SUMMER HAWKS. “Mommy, we want mohawks.” “What, now? Like, right now?” I love that my kids are FIERCE but I guess I get nervous because I am unsure of my ability to give them a proper cut that wouldn’t result [...]

Don’t have a scale at home? Weigh your baby at Walmart.
By Jane on September 16, 2011
We were at Walmart getting a few things when Dick saw a scale and decided he would see how much Benz weighed. Yeah, at Walmart…in the grocery department. Babies have a 1-month and 2-month check-ups where we usually find out how much they weigh, how big their head has gotten and how long they are. [...]

As I may have mentioned, one of the great benefits of homeschooling is that you can take it on the road. This is one of the main reasons why we homeschool.

Pomelo: The sweet alternative to Grapefruit.
By Jane on January 30, 2011
What is a Pomelo? It’s the sweeter version of a grapefruit and about three times the size of an orange. I guess Walmart spells it “pummelo”. Same thing. They’re a little pricey (About $2.50-$3.00 each) but are really yummy. I don’t like grapefruit. It’s too bitter for me. But, the pomelo is a great alternative [...]

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.

I sacrifice sleep to make the house ready for a showing while Dick gets his beauty rest.
By Jane on June 16, 2010
TIME TO PAINT After I shop for all the paint and stuff I need and we’ve eaten dinner, it’s now time to get to work. We have a showing the next day around 5pm. I know how much work there is to be done. We gotta BUST ASS if we’re going to get most of [...]

Thelma and Louise eating worms?
By Jane on November 11, 2010
Whenever I am lazy to cook and need something fast, I always check to see what kind of INSTANT RAMEN I have in my pantry. Today, we have Chapagetti. It’s a non-soupy, instant noodle that tastes like a black bean sauce. Very yummy! Image by www.homecookingdiary.com. (I threw away the packaging before I remembered to [...]

Remember how I told you I fall asleep easily? (No? Click HERE.) Yet another movie that I’ve only seen the first half of. Victim to falling asleep while watching a movie at home…again. When I’m physically at the movie theater I can usually stay awake. I’ve only fallen asleep during 2-3 of those. Anyone else [...]

Rusty Candle: Random pics for your enjoyment.
By Jane on March 13, 2011
After wacking all that monkey grass, I sat on my back porch to rest a sec and noticed this candle holder I have left outside a long time ago. This used to be silver but I think I like the rusty look much better now. I decide to put this cream floating flower candle on [...]

Unless I take pictures of myself, I would never have any. Now you know why most pictures of me have one arm extended and half of my face is lopped off. Of course, Dick says it’s because my head is so big and only half of it would fit on the camera. Such the comedian [...]
Metropolis gets hit by snow again!
By Jane on January 10, 2011
I’ve been waiting for this snow all night since they kept saying the Southeast was going to get hit by a storm again. And finally, it came! It’s 6am now and here are pictures that I just took of my front and back yard. As you can see, it’s still dark outside. FRONT BACK We’re [...]

Graduation ends in MINOR accident for Jane.
By Jane on July 22, 2010
We’re leaving the parking lot at Taylor Swift’s graduation, which is actually not a parking lot but the school yard. However, people were parking there anyway…me being one of them because Rhianna TOLD ME TO. I was backing up slowly and did NOT expect to SMACK right into a pole. Yes a pole. OOOOOPS, did [...]

Preggar Sweets Junkie: Krispy Kreme
By Jane on April 27, 2011
The girls’ best friend, Kristin Stewart, came over the other day to play. We had gone to sign them up for a summer camp together for a couple of weeks this summer. It was a crazy, blistering, unseasonably cold day that day. I made sure I asked the girls to bring sweaters but they refused [...]

I love movies where chicks kick ass. One of my all-time favorites is the Matrix. Trinity is da bomb! We just happened to watch it recently and my girls LOVED it, especially Thelma. The next day, I was surprised to see that a mini-Trinity was walking around our house.
