Today Dick and I went to the car auction to test drive cars. Tomorrow is the actual day of the auction and we need to scope out the cars we like ahead of time and make sure they are sound, clean and sell-able. I love it because I get to check out all the cars [...]

Salade Olivieh: Persian Chicken/Egg/Potato Salad. YUM!
By Jane on September 26, 2009
I know it’s weird to be learning how to cook Persian food from a Vietnamese woman. But, I’ve seen the Persian recipes out there, and there are NO PICTURES! So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled [...]

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. [...]

Check out the wheels on this Escalade. I can’t decide if I like it or not? When everything else on an Escalade is so chunky, these rims just seem too MEEK, especially with the FLOWER look. I’m not really a fan of Escalades but they’re supposed to be PIMP and these rims just ain’t that [...]

Benz has been crawling for the last month or so and wants to go places. The other day, he wanted to go mess with the blinds, one of his favorite past times, and got stuck between the bed and the wall. I had put a pillow in between there so he wouldn’t hurt himself but [...]

Aside from today and yesterday, where it’s been cold and even a sprinkling of snow, we’ve been having some really amazingly warm weather for being in the dead of winter. It’s like Spring!! So, we let Benz roam free outside…to discover the world beneath him an what it feels like to [...]

Drama ensues when the girls say good-bye to their friends.
By Jane on March 24, 2011
It’s the last day that Mr. Bean and his kids are in town and the girls are already dreading it from morning. Little did I know how bad it would get. HOMESCHOOL It’s a co-op day so I take all the kids to school together. Our co-op is awesome and our visitors can tag along [...]

Using our fire pit to make Chelo Kabob the old school way…
By Jane on March 21, 2011
This time of the year is perfect for a fire pit at night so we’ve been enjoying a warm fire in the crisp evenings. Last night, we were craving Chelo Koobideh (ground beef) Kabob, one of the staples of Persian food. The MEN decided they would use the fire pit to grill our kabobs the [...]

The girls enjoy the fall leaves.
By Jane on October 29, 2010
The girls are superexcited that there are enough leaves on the ground at CHEZ FANNY & FREDDIE (the grandparents) so they can make a HUGE pile and jump in it. Thelma is using some kind of rod to push the leaves together. I guess it’s working okay.

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!”

Our homeschool co-op encourages and allows kids to explore their inner creativity. On this day, the middle schoolers used their hands, literally & physically, to create art. Swan head. Awesome! Snake with open mouth and fangs protruding. Siamese twins is what I believe this student told me this was. Writing with a piece of chalk. [...]

The girls are always playing with their little bro, Benz. So, after Louise’s birthday party, they figured it would be easier to know where he was by tying Louise’s helium birthday balloon to their little brother. Whaaaa??? Benz doesn’t mind. He’s preoccupied with the TV buttons… And drawer knobs. He’s fascinated with them! So long [...]

DICK: Daddy Day at Ballet, Tutus and all.
By Jane on January 19, 2010
The girls have been taking ballet since they were 5, taking off a year here or there. Louise was excited to start ballet again but since Thelma was crazy about ice skating, she wasn’t feelin’ ballet as much and decided not to take lessons this year. And ever Louise started up again this last fall, [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Not ready to wear Maternity clothes? Get a belly band!
By Jane on January 23, 2011
I’m about five months along now and am trying to squeeze into the last bit of regular clothes that I can. Depending on the angle, and if I’ve just eaten or not, my bump isn’t that huge yet. So, in order to wear non-maternity clothes, I’m looking through my closet for shirts that fit bigger [...]

For your Manic Monday. The Bangles!!!
By Jane on October 18, 2009
I was singing in the car the other day, showing off my vocal chords to my girls, singing “Just another Manic Monday” by the super-hot all girl band The Bangles. These girls were one of my favorite bands of the 80s. I then decide to look up the video on You Tube for the Thelma [...]

Jane: Vomit projectile victim two times in the last week.
By Jane on February 12, 2010
It seems my girls have both somehow contracted the 24-hour stomach virus but within a week span. First it was Thelma while we were in Gotham City cleaning up our property.
