Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]

Adults and Crocs. Why oh why?!?!?!
By Jane on August 10, 2010
Ok, so I know that CROCS are quite popular and I can understand children wearing them. I especially like the ones made for winter with the fur inside. So comfy looking. HOWEVAH, what is up with GROWN men wearing these things??!?!?! Now, I have some GROWN MEN friends who wear these as well ( I [...]

Fulfilling my bet with Thelma: Camping in the Minivan
By Jane on September 16, 2009
Thelma made a bet with me that if she was able to fast and abstain from eating for a day, I would then camp out in the car with her overnight, in our yard. This is not something I’m too excited about doing and I thought hoped maybe she would forget about it but alas, [...]

The forgotten hallway closets.
By Jane on February 16, 2012
Day two and I start by attacking the forgotten hallway closets. We hardly ever open these closet doors, we just throw shit inside and shut the door so we can’t see it. Well, not exactly intentionally like that but it ended up definitely looking like it. Stuff just started accumulating and with no time (And, [...]

Getting my HAMMOCK ON in the fall.
By Jane on October 12, 2010
Cousin MIA had given me a hammock she had picked up along her travels around Central America. I believe she got this one in Nicaragua. It’s taken me a while to put my hammock up since summer was just too hot and full of bugs. However, this time of year is IDEAL for a hammock in [...]

See Jane and Dick test drive cars…
By Jane on October 8, 2009
Today Dick and I went to the car auction to test drive cars. Tomorrow is the actual day of the auction and we need to scope out the cars we like ahead of time and make sure they are sound, clean and sell-able. I love it because I get to check out all the cars [...]

The girls noticed a pay phone the other day and commented: “Mommy look! You don’t see much of these anymore!” So true. With the advent of the cell phone, who needs a pay phone these days? Good riddens though. The earpiece on those things are nasty! The last time I used one was over ten [...]

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!

MUST WATCH: Man with no arms plays the piano.
By Jane on August 27, 2010
I saw this header on my Yahoo! page and was intrigued. This young man, who lost his arms in a accident when he was 10, was on China’s version of our America’s Got Talent and showed what TALENT really is. It moved me to tears as well. I REALLY need to stop complaining about my [...]

Healthy Lunch: Tuna Fish Sandwiches.
By Jane on August 29, 2010
We love tuna fish at our house. Tuna is a great source for Omega 3s and aside, from the mayo, it’s pretty healthy…even then, you can use LESS mayo. Remember how I like to make the Tuna Sushi for the girls? They also like tuna fish sandwiches, where I substitute regular mayo for the Japanese [...]

Jane uses a grinding wheel to sharpen her lawn mower blades.
By Jane on May 14, 2010
Here I was all ready to FINALLY cut my grass but now have been THWARTED (Definition THWART: to prevent someone from doing something) by Dick’s carelessness in leaving the string to his car tent lying around and now it’s wrapped itself around the blades of my mower. I can’t just unwind the string so I’m [...]

Cleaning out our shit-filled shed.
By Jane on May 21, 2012
OUR SHITTY SHED Our shed looks like a total dump. It’s one of those places where we keep stuffing shit in it and never organize it. It’s one shitty shed. Actually, it’s a great shed when it’s organized because it does store quite a bit given that there are two rooms and a closet. It [...]

Your daily Benz: Pouty lips and actual tears!
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Sweet Benz is usually a happy, smiling chill baby. But sometimes, when he’s starting to get a little fussy, he does that stick-out-the-bottom lip pout. It’s the cutest thing and when you see it, you just want to give him anything his heart desires! It amazes me how babies innately know how to do this. [...]

We finally make it to the Orchid Show.
By Jane on March 8, 2011
Finally! After trecking through the mall, getting annoyed with the kiosk guy who messed up my hair, and feeding the kids lunch, we arrive at the orchid show! It only took 1.5 hours to get from the parking lot and down one-wing of the mall but we made it! One of my favorite things to do [...]
