Every year I think, THIS is going to be the year I’m going to decorate for Halloween. I love Halloween but inevitably, each year, we’d be lucky if we have a pumpkin in the front yard. Consistently, this has been the plan for the last 5 years and consistently every year, no Halloween decorations. However, [...]

My girls met up with some of their BOY friends, not boyfriends, at the park to play the other day.

Duncan Hines for this sweets junkie preggar.
By Jane on April 14, 2011
I don’t typically have a sweet tooth but pregnancy has changed all that. I’m craving sweets all the time and my girls are constantly ratting me out to my doctor and my friends. “Mommy eats a lot of sweets!” Sadly, I can’t really deny it. It’s true. We were at my parents house the other [...]

No longer am I able to just get up. I now have to roll over first or have someone assist me by pushing or pulling me up. Sigh… -Jane, Roley Poley Preggar.

Making use of old clothes. My new/old wardrobe.
By Jane on January 21, 2010
Remember I said I was going to try to use more of my clothes that are collecting dust? I’m trying to use something different daily that I haven’t worn in a long time. This takes alot more time getting ready as I have to be creative putting an outfit together, but it’s loads of fun [...]

Andy’s Pool Hall in Little Italy…more like a club…and co-ed bathrooms too???
By Jane on July 19, 2010
Since Little Italy is right around the corner from my aunt’s place, Eminem, MIA and I go out in search of a place to shoot pool one night. There used to be a place that I would play at all the time but that was almost 10 years ago and it’s no longer there. So, [...]

Mommy I’m Hot, But I Want Money!!
By Jane on September 2, 2009
This is our second year having a lemonade sale. Last year the girls had great success and they’ve been begging me to do another one so they could earn some more money to redecorate their room. I’m just glad they want to earn it versus stealing it. Tomorrow is the first day of school for public school here and summer is officially over!
So, I agreed but I was not thrilled to sit in the hot, muggy sun (89F) and get eaten alive by pesky, blood thirsty mosquitos.
I contributed $9.43 to get their business going (which they gave me $6 initially), prepared the lemonade for them, and agreed to give of my time pro-bono. Thelma and Louise recruited a helper, their cousin, to assist as well.
Jane Loves Self-Cleaning Ovens
By Jane on February 5, 2010
Having owned the non-self cleaning kind of ovens for a long time, this Jane totally loves using the self-cleaning function on my oven. BEFORE Here’s the before, with lots of spilled cheese from pizzas and other random stuff that has fallen and burnt to a crisp. Yes, it’s quite nasty.

Back in the land of the communicable…for now…
By Jane on October 24, 2009
After having had my iMac (Time to give it a name…Qwerty) held hostage for the last couple of days, and nearly dying because I thought the Geek Squad was going to continue to hold Qwerty hostage until the end of next week, I now have my iMac back and can breath again. Initially they thought [...]

Thankful that we are unscathed by record hail, rain, thunderstorms, and tornados.
By Jane on April 28, 2011
The South was hit SUPER HARD by a tremendous amount of thunderstorms, tornados and crazy hail. Some of my friends were reporting baseball and golfball-sized hail, dinged-up cars, damage to their houses, and leaking roofs. Dick was out of town so we went to my parents’ house. As soon as we heard the pounding of [...]

Cali’s weather is unpredictable where it could be hot one day and cold the next so we have to pack an assortment of everything. Winter clothes are big and take up alot of space you know. (Is it officially winter yet?)

From Garage back to Playroom: I’m SO excited!
By Jane on January 14, 2010
Right around Thanksgiving my dear hubby, Dick, decides to take away my precious playroom and change it back into it’s original intended use – a GARAGE. Since it was cold outside, he relocated his car maintenance work into our playroom garage. Yes, I have not played ping pong since Thanksgiving! Now we’re back from LA and [...]
Asian Instant Ramen. A yummy, easy, quick meal. The kids love it too.
By Jane on December 22, 2009
I love instant noodles (aka ramen). It’s a fantastic and fast meal for when you are busy and don’t have time (or are too lazy) to cook. Being that we’re super busy, ramen for me is like an answer from heavan. Deciding what to cook all the time is so difficult. Sometimes you just want something [...]

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 [...]

Thelma and Louise eating worms?
By Jane on November 11, 2010
Whenever I am lazy to cook and need something fast, I always check to see what kind of INSTANT RAMEN I have in my pantry. Today, we have Chapagetti. It’s a non-soupy, instant noodle that tastes like a black bean sauce. Very yummy! Image by www.homecookingdiary.com. (I threw away the packaging before I remembered to [...]

Close-ups of the orchids, so you can fully appreciate their beauty! (NOTE: All pics were taken with my little Canon G11 point and shoot camera.) Enjoy! THE LADY SLIPPERS Lady Slipper Orchids are one of my favorite varieties of orchid. They are just gorgeous!! They are called Lady Slipper due to the slipper-shape pouches of the flower.

After a fun-filled day of splish splash at the waterpark, I take MIA out to LADIES NIGHT at the local sports bar. You know the one where I was PROPOSED TO last time. I invite my girl June Cleaver as well, seeing that we all had such a great time together the last time we [...]
