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 [...]

Too Young to Bank? Not at Suntrust.
By Jane on September 10, 2009
Thelma and Louise just each earned $9 each from their lemonade sale and given that they not immune to the shopping bug, Dick and I wanted them to learn some money and banking basics. We started by opening separate savings accounts for each of the girls. Using the profits from their lemonade sale, Thelma and [...]
Hangnails: Amazing how such a tiny thing can cause SO MUCH PAIN.
By Jane on March 12, 2010
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 [...]

By Jane on January 27, 2010
Dick LOVES music. He has a huge collection of CDs that started when he was a kid in Germany. Only, all of them were stuck in diaper boxes since our move back to Metropolis and have been there for the last five years. Dick got a wild hair in his butt was inspired to take [...]
Dick’s egg-crusted pans make Jane’s blood boil.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Whenever Dick uses our stainless steel pots and pans to scramble his eggs, I get so absolutely annoyed! It’s because whenever he does, he doesn’t cook them on high enough heat and doesn’t use enough oil so that they don’t stick to the pan. Instead, he cooks them on medium to low heat for too [...]

Christmas tree finally up. Let’s hope it stays that way.
By Jane on December 5, 2011
We get home and it’s time to lug the tree into the house. Neither Lucy nor I want to touch the tree cause you know it’s got all that gooey, sticky sap and we don’t want to get our outfits dirty. Yes, we were being girly-girls. Whatevs. Sometimes you have to. Louise cuts the string [...]

I was first introduced to Bonsai’s from watching Mr. Miagi pruning them on the Karate Kid. When I actually saw them in person, I just LOVED them. I have a love for trees and tree shapes as it is but a miniature version is just GORGEOUS!! It so happened that the annual Bonsai show was going [...]

Back to Metropolis and back to my regular Starbucks.
By Jane on September 9, 2011
So we’re back in Metropolis and where else are we going to go but my regular Starbucks. Every morning Julia goes for a walk and comes back so we can go have coffee. It’s still early morning (early for me) so it’s nice and cool…so we decided to walk. The girls haven’t ridden their bikes [...]

Using the Oreck Orbitor as an alternative to steam shampooing rugs and carpets.
By Jane on January 19, 2012
Now that Benz is mobile, we’ve been wanting to clean the rugs. My mom especially wants to clean her carpets but doesn’t like the shampooing wet method. She wanted to try Oreck’s Orbitor dry cleaning method and since she was already renting it for a day, she let me borrow it so we can clean [...]

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 [...]

Laguna Beach: No, I’m not talking about the teeny bopper show.
By Jane on December 30, 2009
We recently were down in the OC…that’s short for Orange County if you don’t know or watch those teeny-bopper reality shows on MTV. We decided to head to the Laguna Beach so the kids can play. I’m so excited because I got a bunch of great shots. Enjoy!

Getting kids to cooperate for family Christmas Pictures ain’t easy.
By Jane on December 10, 2010
One of my friends wanted to have some holiday pictures of her and her kids. So, we set up a shoot where the theme would be making cookies together. We decided to start out by the fireplace first and get some shots there before they started cooking, in case their clothes were to get dirty. [...]

Getting our imagination on at the Imaginon.
By Jane on January 27, 2012
The girls love coming to Gotham City. It’s a change of environment. We’re in the hustle and bustle of a bigger city and because we’re uptown, we get to enjoy urban, city life. I like that we get a taste of both the “country” (I put that in quotes because it’s not like we’re roughin’ [...]

Dick threatens to buy me orthopedic shoes.
By Jane on May 4, 2010
Recently, I’m hobbing around like a GIMP because I pick my foot so much that I can’t walk on it because it’s has open cuts from me pulling off my skin to ease the itching of the new skin that has grown back oh, probably hundreds of times. EXTREMELY PAINFUL! Instead, you’ll see me limping [...]

You can even find bags of whole pod edamame in the frozen vegetable section at WAL-MART so no excuses if you [...]

Starbucks Moment: Mommy needs her ME-TIME!!
By Jane on July 23, 2011
This Jane is in need of some serious ME-TIME. I’m not the kind of person that can’t be alone. I love my time ALONE. Some people feel like losers sitting alone at a table. I know I used to. Especially if you’re in high school and you’re sitting somewhere alone…you’re a loser. No, these days, [...]
