Kwik Kwote: A Key for the Men’s Room…WTF?!?!?
By Jane on September 17, 2009
“Why the hell do we have to have a key for the bathroom? That’s some bull-shit!! Like, that’s SO ridiculous that you have to, like…. …get a fuckin’ key… …then go piss… …then like, have to go give the fuckin’ key back. I mean, I don’t know….that’s stupid!!” -An Unhappy Starbucks Male Customer [...]

The “Other” dish that Dick can cook: Meat-Sauce Spaghetti with Baby Bella Mushrooms.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Salmon with Dirty Brown Rice: Yeah I’m grocery shopping in my PJ’s.
By Jane on January 15, 2010
Since I was already in my pajamas for pajama day at our homeschool co-op, I decided that I was SO COMFORTABLE that I did not want to change out of my outfit, even though I had some grocery shopping to do later that day. Yes, it’s FREAKIN’ COLD! Ok, so I did get a few [...]

Request for the Hubby to do the dishes…
By Jane on September 12, 2010
After I made dinner last night and after we ate it, it was quite the disaster area, like usual. We were watching a movie so I didn’t realize how much of a disaster until I came back into the kitchen later. Ugh. Not wanting to have to do them, I mentioned it to Dick, in [...]

Lucy gives the girls “shoulder buddies”.
By Jane on June 12, 2011
Lucy happened upon these “Shoulder Buddies” while at the airport and bought them for the girls. They look like these little crazy haired little “pets” that sit on magnets. One is named “Goal” and the other “Crush”. Aren’t they cute? I just noticed, they don’t have any arms. So what you do is put your [...]

The Chalk Guy: Julian Beever and his AMAZING pavement drawings.
By Jane on November 12, 2009
I just got a forward from Dick’s cousin. He’s a dentist who has a lot of time to send a bunch of email forwards to us. LOL (J.K. We love you!) I never read any long forwards. I am A.D.D. and like I said, wordy stuff with no pictures will NOT capture my attention. Short, [...]

Your Daily Osho: Choose Nature. Don’t be a loser.
By Jane on January 28, 2011
EVERDAY OSHO: CHOOSE NATURE Wherever you find that society is in conflict with nature, choose nature – whatever the cost. You will never be a loser. The thinking up to now has been that the individual exists for the society, that the individual has to follow what the society dictates. The individual has to fit [...]

By Jane on July 13, 2011
Who doesn’t love naked baby pictures? These were just taken on the fly. I haven’t had time to set up a proper shoot. Benz sleeps really well. He only wakes up once or twice in the night. I’ll just roll over and nurse him. So edible and yummy!! I could just stare at him all [...]

Girls Only Trip – Taking Care of Business…and Dinosaurs
By Jane on September 13, 2009
Dick has been out in Cali visiting his family for two weeks and so I’m left here to take care of the things that he can’t. Usually, it’s Dick who drives four hours to Gotham City whenever we have to take care of our residential rental properties, the car business, or our commercial properties. The property that we just cleaned up is still vacant and there are two girls who are interested in looking at it. We have a friend who can show the property for us but since he has no vested interest in it, I feel it’s better that I show it myself. I decide to take the girls and hit the road. This is going to be a nice one-nighter girls-only trip!

By Jane on January 6, 2011
First semester was all about the fatigue, nausea and morning sickness. However, it seems the second semester, I’ve gotten over that and have moved on to being more moody. I think it’s the hormones but I feel like I’m PMSing BIG TIME. Whereas in the first semester where I was too tired to get wound [...]

It was 12 miles.) walk around downtown Metropolis. Some [...]
