By Jane on January 10, 2010
Dick, Mamma F, J Lo and friends go out on Christmas to The Abbey, known as one of the best gay clubs and is down the street from where Lucy lives. I went the Abbey last time I was in LA and decided not to go out this time because I’m lazy, it’s cold and [...]

Jane: Almost a FOOL but not quite!
By Jane on April 1, 2010
Yes, my birthday is shy of April Fools by one day. Therefore, this Jane is ALMOST a fool but NOT QUITE. Except, it’s possible I am quite GULLIBLE. My cousin sent me a text this morning: “Surprisingly, I’m getting engaged with my best friend from high school around August. We will send the invitations around [...]

Besides being able to bike to one of the largest shopping strips around, we also have access to several neighborhoods that all connected and are great for biking. We take ALL the kids biking and luckily, I have enough bikes for us all. Everyone is riding their own bike except for Louise. She doesn’t feel [...]

We find a rodent in the shed. Opossum or Rat?
By Jane on November 8, 2010
DISCLAIMER: To start, down here, we call OPPOSSUMS just POSSUM and all future reference to this rodent will be referred to as such. I just didn’t want to confuse those who don’t know this from the onset with the title. So I was in the shed getting some trimmers for the hedges when I spotted what I thought [...]

By Jane on September 7, 2010
My friend emails me this TOTALLY FABULOUS story about a girl who quits her job using a dry erase board, takes pictures and emails her co-workers in her office, totally slamming her boss. This is right in line with the JET BLUE guy. Enjoy!! Apparently, the girl’s name is Jenny (not confirmed) and she emails [...]

A great natural substitute for your eye make-up remover.
By Jane on September 12, 2011
Whenever I get out of the shower or pool, and because I don’t use waterproof mascara, I look like a scary mess. My kids tell me all the time, “Mommy, you look scary today.” Thank you dahling! That’s me, Scary-Mary Jane. Mascara doesn’t come off very well, even when you use soap. You have to [...]

By Jane on October 28, 2009

Visiting with the elderly neighbors on a walk to the Grandparents’ house.
By Jane on July 12, 2011
The other day we were going to go for an after-dinner walk to my parent’s house. Since their house is less than a mile away it’s a great short, casual walk. First we play a little soccer in the yard. Benz is strapped in and ready to go into a Baby Bjorn given to me [...]

Stripe bass and pickerel for dinner!
By Jane on July 18, 2010
So we pan fried the striped bass, which tastes great with rice. The pickerel was steamed and topped off with a soy-ginger sauce and green onions. I understand now why the pickerel is so coveted. Talk about YUMMY! -Jane, Fish Lover.

FINALLY! The finished painted techno-colored girls room!
By Jane on March 11, 2010
My project of painting the girls room is complete! (Well, I’m still waiting on Fanny Mae to get me the pillows.) I know it’s drawn out to a few days but that’s just how these things go. Decorating or redecorating, takes time. THELMA & LOUISE’S ROOM The girls share a queen platform bed that I [...]

KWIK KWOTE: Uranus. Uranus. Uranus.
By Jane on April 8, 2010
Louise was running through the planets the other day. She was trying to impress me with her knowledge of all the planets. “Mommy, I know all the planets and in order!!” “Oh yeah? What are they?” “Mercury…Venus…Earth…” (Counts on her fingers)

Thelma wants to do all the sports so now we’re playing VOLLEYBALL! We signed her up for a local girls team and she absolutely LOVES it! It’s such a great team sport. Girls Volleyball is popular in our area because our Ladies College team is ranked #1!! I don’t know anything about volleyball other than what [...]

We’ve caught a skunk. Now how to get rid of it???
By Jane on July 8, 2011
My mom had set out a trap to catch a pesky groundhog that keeps ravishing her garden. I can understand her pain because I have a few myself but I don’t have a vegetable garden this year so I don’t mind as much as usual. In past years though, my wonderful neighbors (Sharon & Ozzy) [...]

So my dear husband ingeniously decided to WASH my Beloved Buddha’s Boa. NOOOOOOO!!!!! WHY, OH WHY, WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING???!?!?!?!? And why would you even think that you could wash anything that has feathers? Innocently, he replied… “It was dirty!” Now it looks like wet dog / ratty fur! Buddha’s still happy but I’m [...]
Smells like poo. Sh**! Literally!
By Jane on December 29, 2010
On our way home from picking up the Futon Mattresses, we’re in the car and I smell something weird. “I smell something.” Dick brushes it off as my sensitivity to smells from being pregnant. “I don’t smell anything. You’re nose is just sensitive right now.” We drive a little further. “Seriously, I smell something. Smells [...]

Homemade Sushi: Jane’s Tunafish Rolls. Not the raw kind. The kids LOVE it!
By Jane on February 28, 2010
My kids love sushi. They’ll eat the raw pieces of fish too. But, we don’t do raw at home. Many years ago, one of my friends introduced me to Roasted Seasoned Seaweed. This stuff is DA BOMB! You can eat it plain or with rice…or with my homemade recipe for sushi at home. It’s easy, [...]

Front yard maintenance: Wacking the bushes.
By Jane on February 19, 2011
Pregnancy really hasn’t slowed me down much. I’ve been meaning to trim my bushes for a while but the weather hasn’t been very accomodating, until now. They’re totally overgrown and need a HAIRCUT bad!! You can’t even hardly see our house. What to use to trim these suckers? (You may be wondering why I dress [...]

Inspiration of the day: From Hardship comes growth.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
Cold and hunger are the forces that produce warmth and fullness. From poverty we can become rich. Sickness spurs our search for health. Health or wealth by birth is not ours – it is our parent’s gift to us. As such, it will disappear sooner or later. You must be the creator of your own [...]
