KWICK KWOTE: Let’s Plant Some Flowers and Drink Some Wine
By Jane on April 4, 2010
Besides using the chalkboard paint in the girls room, I also used it on our pantry door…an ugly white eyesore. Originally when I thought to use the chalkboard paint, it was intended for this door. I wanted to be able to write grocery lists, our favorite wines list, maybe even homeschool while I’m cooking, writing [...]

What is this “Mom” businesses? I’m MOMMY!!!
By Jane on March 5, 2010
Eight seems to be the year that your kids start transitioning into a more grown up phase in their life. Thelma seems more mature and she even tells me all the time: “I really love being eight.” I can’t believe she’s eight already. Just a couple of weeks ago, my 8-year old started calling me [...]

Confuchsia cooks me some soul food!
By Jane on November 23, 2011
Confuchsia brought her kids over to my house the other day so that the kids could play and the adults can hang. Much to my surprise, when she came over, Confuchsia said… “I’m gonna cook for you today. You just relax and hangout and I’m gonna make you some REAL SOUL FOOD.” I was so [...]

Louise cashes in on her two teeth.
By Jane on August 23, 2010
Now that another 2 teeth have given way, it was time for Louise to cash in. However, she first wanted to wait for Eminem, Taylor and Auntie Lucy (who was coming the following weekend) to get here so she could show them off. Louise put each tooth in a box and after having made sure [...]

Video of me painting flowers and butterflies on the walls.
By Jane on March 10, 2010
Here’s a clip of me painting some flowers and butterflies on the walls…fast forwarded 2000 times. I woke up in the middle of the night and worked until morning on this. Nighttime is the only time to work. No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh. The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working [...]

Smells like poo. Sh**! Literally!
By Jane on December 29, 2010
On our way home from picking up the Futon Mattresses, we’re in the car and I smell something weird. “I smell something.” Dick brushes it off as my sensitivity to smells from being pregnant. “I don’t smell anything. You’re nose is just sensitive right now.” We drive a little further. “Seriously, I smell something. Smells [...]

I Hate Fucking Making the Juice!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
Recently I’ve reverted to dropping f-bombs like the old days of working in manufacturing car plants. Well, maybe not as bad as before, but I find great satisfaction in using this word to express myself. I know it’s considered vulgar and profane but it’s so FUCKING expressive. It gives just the uummph I want for emphasis!

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. [...]

Ludacris’ “My Chick Bad” is ridiculously STUPID!
By Jane on April 17, 2010
I was riding in my car the other day, listening to the radio and Luda’s song “My Chick Bad” came on. And while I SOMEWHAT like his other latest hit “How Low”, “My Chick Bad” is the MOST RIDICULOUSLY STUPID SONG! It ranks right up there with “Bed Rock” – “I, I, I can make [...]

It’s Black Friday and I know some of you were up at the crack of dawn, even before that. Yeah, I was up at 3:30am but there ain’t NO WAY I was heading out in that freezing weather to stand in line for a $10 discount off some appliance. I may be a bargain shopper [...]

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 [...]

What to do with a bad watermelon? Juice it!
By Jane on July 28, 2011
You know how much I love watermelon in the summer, well, it’s always super disappointing when I get one that is mushy, powdery, pink (instead of red) and not sweet…like this one. Oh the disappointment!!! Of course, when shopping for watermelons, I always do that thumping thing that I see everyone else do…but seriously, I [...]

Your daily Benz: Pouty lips and actual tears!
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Sweet Benz is usually a happy, smiling chill baby. But sometimes, when he’s starting to get a little fussy, he does that stick-out-the-bottom lip pout. It’s the cutest thing and when you see it, you just want to give him anything his heart desires! It amazes me how babies innately know how to do this. [...]

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 [...]

Jane: Wacking and Blowing Preggar.
By Jane on March 12, 2011
OMG, that title was too easy to pass up. I kill myself. (that comes with a knee-slap too). Sorry, I sometimes have a weird sense of humor. Must be the hormones. Yes, I’m going to blame everything on pregnancy hormones. Because I can. As I may have mentioned, it’s difficult to slow down. And I [...]

Life is extremely busy for us these days. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad but…it is what it is and we’re rolling with the punches. There’s never a dull moment, at least not for me. The girls may disagree but, whatever, kids are always complaining about being bored. Well, today was definitely not [...]

My parents go to a Trannie Show in Thailand.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
In addition to visiting Vietnam, my parents, aunts and uncle-in-law head to Thailand for 4 nights/five days. It’s ultra cheap to go to Thailand from Vietnam: It’s an ALL-INCLUSIVE package that comes with airfare, accommodations, transportation, shows and food for 5 days was only $400 per person. A chartered trip where they take you around [...]

Stopping at Waffle House for Breakfast.
By Jane on November 24, 2010
We woke up early morning in order to hit the road to head to Gotham City. The girls brushed their teeth. We packed up the car and we was OUT! Along the way, we stopped for breakfast at none other than Waffle House. Don’t let our International looks fool you, we are totally Southerners at [...]

I’ve decided that I don’t need an occasion to dress the way I like. I’m going to do whatever makes me happy and wear what makes me happy…like when I went grocery shopping in my PJs the other day. Today, I’m going Goth and biking out to Starbucks because the weather is amazing for January…it’s [...]

You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.
