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.

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 [...]

I’m Going to Finish My Peach First
By Jane on August 29, 2009
DICK is driving me around METROPOLIS for a photo project I’m doing with www.buyusafirst.org. John Gibson, CEO of United Intelligence Corporation, is an entrepreneur who has several business of his own and also works as a consultant for women entrepreneurs. John is also my husband’s, mother’s, cousin’s husband. I meet John for the first time in California a month ago and immediately I like him. He’s Super-intelligent, seems to take everything in stride and is always smiling. Doesn’t he look kinda like Bill Gates?

Here’s my HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE to that and it’s EASY. What I love about an EGG SANDWICH is that it’s MOBILE. Granted, eating in the car is MESSY [...]

By Jane on April 14, 2010
The girls wanted to go biking so we were heading out to Starbucks and Target. By sheer coincidence, as we were coming up to the parking lot, we see cops everywhere. Looks like another premiere. Remember the last time the TWILIGHT cast was here in our little town of Metropolis. So, we were curious as to [...]

So now that you know our plans to have a natural child birth, you’ll understand our thought process when it came time. As I mentioned, when I hit 36 weeks my OB started to talk to me about the possibility of induction, even though she knew I really wanted to have a natural child birth. [...]

How much house can one get for $1 million in Metropolis???
By Jane on October 7, 2010
No, we’re not house hunting and even if we were, $1 million is just a little out of our budget. Every year, there is a showcasing of some substantial new homes being built in the Metropolis area. As a kid, going to see the new, beautifully decorated houses was one of my favorite things to [...]

By Jane on November 4, 2009
This is a mask Lucy Lu gave me to wear for my Goth birthday party. Thelma is going to be using it for her costume for her skating competition coming up. She liked it so much she decided she was going to wear it out while we’re running errands.

Late run to Walmart for Arts and Crafts
By Jane on November 23, 2009
I like to buy things at the dollar store to use for arts and crafts projects at home. It’s a great inexpensive way to let your kids tune into their artistic side without spending tons of money because arts and crafts supplies can get pretty pricey. At the dollar store you usually find wooden frames, boxes, birdhouses, [...]

I had to go to the post office to mail off some photos for a client. It was Friday, around 2:30pm and as you can imagine, it was JAM PACKED. The line has extended far beyond the other side of the door to actually gets you within visibility of the agents that work behind the [...]
