After painting first two colors (Hep Green and Reflecting Pool), I notice that the colors on my walls are turning out darker than the ones in the brochure. However, I’m still DETERMINED to pull this room together and make it FABULOUS for my girls. The girl’s room is low lit so that’s why the colors [...]

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 [...]

Jane, amateur haircutter, strikes again.
By Jane on May 20, 2010
The boys are in need of a bit of a haircut. So, since I cut J LO’s hair the last time I was in LA, she wanted me to cut the boys hair. As I have said before, I’m definitely no professional and I’ve never been to beauty or hair school. I’ve cut women’s, girls’ [...]

Translations from Aussie to American English.
By Jane on April 15, 2010
Whilst (Aussies say this alot, which is where Lucy picked it up from when she lived in Melbourne and has permeated into this Jane’s vocabulary.) my cousin was here visiting us from Australia, it was difficult understanding her at times. Not because of her accent, which is supercool, but because they have their own vocabulary! [...]

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

Startbucks Pumpkin Muffin…a seasonal treat that needs to be permanent!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
My new favorite treat for myself is a PUMPKIN MUFFIN from Starbucks. It goes so great with my HOT CARAMEL MACCHIATO. Not too RICH or DRY like some of their other desserts, this pumpkin muffin (with cream cheese in the middle of the top) is the perfect blend of MOISTNESS and SWEETNESS. I was told [...]

A match for my New Year’s frame.
By Jane on January 15, 2012
We had so much fun painting on New Year’s that I decided to make a match for the first frame. The girls wanted to paint something else as well. So as they painted, I made a mate for my frame. I likes! Now where to put them! -Jane, Ah-Tiste.

Said server of Cracker Barrel: Do you feed these girls?
By Jane on March 9, 2012
So we were having a very busy day running around and a very late start to our morning. It was around 2pm before we even got around to feeding the kids so we decided to hit one of our favorite restaurants that hits the spot just right…Cracker Barrel. We were all starving. I ordered the [...]

Queen Latifa in all her GLORY. Queenie is not going to be happy with me. Thank goodness she’s not technically inclined and doesn’t navigate to my blog. Crack runs in the family. -Jane, Niece to Cracked-up Queenie.

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Planned Parenthood.
By Jane on January 7, 2011
My sister Lucy came across this shirt and thought it to be PERFECT for me since it describes us oh so well. Planned Parenthood. That’s us! This is not a maternity shirt. She just bought it in a large. Looks and fits like Maternity though! James Perse makes the most comfortable, supersoft Tees. Although he [...]

In LA, you spend a third of your life in your car…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
It’s taking me some time to get into my groove here…so hard to find the time to blog. All my time is spent in the car, stuck in traffic, getting from place to place. It takes at least 45 minutes to get anywhere, even just driving 5 miles takes this long. Five miles in Metropolis [...]

Breast Feeding: The pros and cons of having watermelons for boobs.
By Jane on June 29, 2011
I love nursing. Aside from it being the best milk for your child (unless you’re downing shots of tequila daily or shooting up heroine), for someone who is lazy like me, it’s perfect except for two three things…they’re too huge, having to wear a bra 24/7 and fatty armpits. Yes, fat armpits! WATERMELONS One being [...]

Dick gets “new” shoes. Tenant leaves behind a pair of Nike Lebron James 20-5-5.
By Jane on September 1, 2011
We always have “gifts” that the tenants leave behind and it’s usually because they don’t want to move their crap or they just don’t want it anymore. We’ve gotten a stereo, beds, furniture, pots and pans, washer and dryer, etc. While cleaning up the garage of our property, Dick found a pair of men’s tennis [...]

How to PROPERLY cut a watermelon.
By Jane on May 21, 2010
It’s watermelon season (well not really but the grocery stores already have the ones imported from Mexico where they have forced grown it so that it would produce fruit for us watermelon lovers who can’t wait until summer)! I loves me some WATERMELON! So sweet and refreshing. Of course I get the SEEDLESS kind. My [...]

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 [...]
