Loobia (green bean) Polow (rice) is a SUPER-yummy Persian dish that combines fragrant Basmati rice with a green bean tomato stew infused with lots of great taste and flavor. I learned how to cook Persian food from my lovely Mother-in-Law. She is infamous in her family for being a fantastic cook and so to keep it [...]

My girls just don’t know how lucky they got it. Who else can have class in bed? Here they are, all snuggled in bed, in their pajamas and I’m reviewing some English basics prior to their Standardized Testing (SATs) coming up. Yes, I get them tested yearly to make sure I’m not retarding their brains. Oh and I’m [...]

Craigslist goes politically correct OVERBOARD.
By Jane on August 13, 2010
I was posting an ad on Craiglist for one of our properties that is rented by the room. There’s already one guy living in the house and so I put ” Currently, there is one male who occupies the master bedroom.”. Imagine my surprise when I get the following ERROR message: I can’t use the [...]

Your first look at an $8 bill!!
By Jane on March 14, 2011
Louise is turning 8 this year and is in HIGH ANTICIPATION of her birthday. She’s been planning this since…well…last year. Except, Louise isn’t the only one in anticipation…so is Thelma. Thelma had an idea to make an $8 bill for Louise with her face on it, rather than some boring President. Cute idea! So, I [...]

With having had a new baby, I decided we would take it easy over the summer and so only one sport…SWIMMING. And although last year was our first year on the swim team, we missed quite a few practices due to the burn that Thelma got but we also took time off to go to [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear. Dare to wear horizontal stripes.
By Jane on March 25, 2011
Typically, they say horizontal stripes are unflattering, especially if you don’t want to look more WIDE than LONG. Of course, I’d rather look LONGER THAN WIDER but there are very few items left in my closet that can still double as maternity. Like this one. Remember, I’m trying to ride it out without having to purchase too [...]

Yet Another Roadtrip: Picking up Daddy & Visiting with Friends
By Jane on November 18, 2009
It’s time to retreive Daddy since he’s been gone for over 2 weeks in LaLa Land (A.k.a. LA, Los Angeles). We found a great reasonable flight that is direct but it’s a 3 hour drive to this airport. Dick’s flight is supposed to arrive at 3:30pm and so I’m rushing to hit the road after Mother-Daughter [...]

People camping out at the mall for iPad 2.
By Jane on March 14, 2011
While at the mall the other, I notice some people sitting outside the Apple Store. They were camping out for the iPad 2. The only time I ever camped out for anything was for New Kids on the Block tickets…but really, it was just to hang out with my friends and was something to do. [...]

The Lexus is in need of new tires but I don’t want to buy brand new tires for a car I don’t plan to keep. Dick then remembers the place he would go to for tires back when I was in college….Reasonable Ron’s. Ron’s is on the “other” side of town and Dick described it as being run by a bunch of “biker dudes”.

The girls and I were shoe shopping for some sneakers for Thelma and flipflops for Louise and came across the new, trendy Skeletoes made by Fila. If you have not seen these things, they are like finger socks for your feet except they are shoes! I first came across these when I saw them on [...]

Last day with cousins. Boo-hoo.
By Jane on June 7, 2010
It’s the last day with J Lo, Will and Carlton and we have had such a great time with them here. It’s always hard when people visit me and then they leave. You get used to having them around and it’s always supersad to see them go.

EVERYDAY OSHO: Amatuers and Experts. Don’t be an expert. Be an amateur!
By Jane on January 27, 2011
Today I may be a photographer, blogger, property investor and manager, entrepreneur…tomorrow I may want to be a hairdresser, a chef, a stylist, a gardener, or a carpenter. Who knows? Life is short. I don’t think I would want to do the same thing for the rest of my life. I have many more things [...]

Biking and Hill-Climbing Preggar.

The other day, we were blessed with unseasonable warm weather for this time of the year so we decided to take our bikes out and enjoy it! Plus, we had to go get some groceries. The hill next to our house was still iced over in parts so we had to be super careful. Dick’s [...]

OMG, that title was too easy to pass up. I kill myself. (that comes with a knee-slap too). Sorry, I sometimes have a weird sense of humor. Must be the hormones. Yes, I’m going to blame everything on pregnancy hormones. Because I can. As I may have mentioned, it’s difficult to slow down. And I [...]
