Every year I think, THIS is going to be the year I’m going to decorate for Halloween. I love Halloween but inevitably, each year, we’d be lucky if we have a pumpkin in the front yard. Consistently, this has been the plan for the last 5 years and consistently every year, no Halloween decorations. However, [...]

SOMEONE forgot to empty their pockets before putting their clothes in the dirty pile.
By Jane on March 14, 2010
I’m doing like a thousand loads of laundry…at least that’s what it feels like. Of course I don’t bother to empty the pockets of the clothes. I expect whoever puts their stuff in the dirty pile to do that. I don’t have time to double check for these things. So, I go to retrieve all [...]

Caffeine while pregnant…just can’t take the coffee out of this Jane.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
Yes, that’s me and the hubs at Starbucks. Bawk! Pregnant and drinking caffeine. Pregnant women just love it when you tell them they shouldn’t be drinking caffeine. What can I say, I live dangerously. It is a myth that pregnant women are to avoid caffeine completely and actually pregnant women can consume about 200mg of [...]

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 [...]

Reasonable Ron’s AGAIN: This time, it’s just me and the girls.
By Jane on May 8, 2010
As I mentioned, the Lexus we just got needs two tires replaced. However, when we went to have them changed, we discovered that the LOCK KEY for the WHEELS is missing. So, I have to pick one up at Lexus first. This key is necessary because one of the lug nuts is a different size…used [...]

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 [...]

Our favorite library, the bestest kid’s library evah!
By Jane on November 30, 2010
Alright, I know I’m jumping around in time with going to Gotham City to Thanksgiving to being pregnant but now I’d like to take us back to Gotham City. Sorry, being pregnant makes you all sorts of scatterbrained. What I love about being in the city is all the culture and arts that are offered within walking distance. Within minutes [...]

Jane: Shooting a commercial for HGTV Fine Living.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
As I mentioned, occassionally, Dick and I and the girls do some small-time modeling/acting on the side. It’s fun and it’s really nice to unexpectedly get a check in the mail every now and then. I get a call last week from my agent saying that HGTV would like to use me for another Fine Living [...]

Pregnancy Rhinitis is killing me. I hate not being able to breath through my nose.
By Jane on December 17, 2010
One of the things I detest most in life is having a stuffy nose and having to breath through my mouth. I feel like I’m eating all the dust particles in the air. Since being pregnant, it’s been non-stop stuffage of the nose. After doing some research, it turns out this actually a condition and is [...]

Finally Jane sees a celebrity: Another Jane…Lynch from Glee at Urth Cafe.
By Jane on January 11, 2010
It’s our last day in LA and we had just spent the night at Lucy and Martha’s house. We wake up and decide to go to Urth Cafe AGAIN for breakfast. Yes, if they had one in Metropolis, I would be a regular there as well. Lucy, Martha and the girls head over there first [...]

Favorites
By Jane on February 14, 2011
These days, I’m a clumsy mess. Not only is my brain mush but I run into things…looked up the other day and almost smacked right into one of those poles/columns in the middle of a store. After eating, I often notice either crumbs or spills on my shirt. Of course, Dick jokes that I’ve always [...]

HORRIBLE! Kids committing suicide over being taunted for their sexuality.
By Jane on September 30, 2010
It seems that all I hear in the news these days is about kids who are bullied over their sexuality and more recently, at least 3 teenagers have taken their own lives in the last week or two alone! I am SO SADDENED and actually kind of IRATE at the SENSELESS deaths of these poor [...]

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!”

Honey, I wanna be a desperate housewife!
By Jane on January 14, 2012
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’m a blogging LOSER these days and APOLOGIES! I can’t seem to find the time or energy to blog these days. (That being said, I’m so appreciative that our loyal Jane and Dick fans still visit our site daily and even read our old stories!) With [...]

Forgiveness Update: The King and I
By Jane on September 11, 2010
It seems I do have a good one…when he wants to be. I already know this. But of course, in the midst of controversy and filled with anger, one easily forgets. I’m still not sure if he realizes what it is that he’s done, you know how men are. Many times, it lasts only so long [...]

Thelma and Louise reaping the benefits of my yardwork.
By Jane on November 22, 2009
The girls are playing in the front yard while I finished cleaning up the sidewalk. They did help me a little but being kids, their attention span and need to play took over. Since my yard has just been newly cut and cleaned, they are FULLY able to enjoy our yard. See how I contribute to the [...]

She-Ra turns 25!!! I have the POWER!!!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
For those 80s babies like myself, I just came across an article about one of my favorite cartoons growing up. SHE-RA! She-ra was the female, kick-ass version of HE-MAN, who fought against evil, was a strong, intelligent female and I wanted to be her! Watching religiously daily and wanting to have the POWER, I would [...]

The family goes sledding with my snowboard.
By Jane on January 12, 2011
The girls really want to sled down our hill but all the sleds are sold out so, as a suggestion from my sister Lucy, we they try out using my snowboard as a sled. The three of them actually fit nicely. This hill is pretty steep and if you’re coming down from the top, it [...]

Rummikub with Lucy and Mamma F.
By Jane on January 4, 2010
Another favorite game that Lucy and I like to play is Rummikub. If you’ve never played this game before, it’s a great game with family and friends. The kids can actually play too. Since Lucy just lost to me in Boggle, we decided to move on to Rummikub and we’ve invited Mamma F to play [...]

Vietnam??? Looks more like Hawaii. The fam visits a popular Western Resort, Phu Quoc.
By Jane on February 28, 2011
My mom had heard of a popular island, Phu Quoc, that had been renovated into a beautiful resort where mostly, the clientel are Westerners and Europeans. She had heard it was so popular that it was nearly impossible to find a hotel room because it was their peak season and they were booked! Well, they were [...]
