Dick and I finally took the girls to go see New Moon. All weekend they were asking when we would go. I have to admit, I was very slow to get on the Twilight bandwagon. When Twilight first came out, I thought it was some scary vampire movie. I don’t watch horror movies so I [...]

All Work and No Play??? NO WAY!!!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
We just had some tenants move out of one of our residential rental properties and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean myself, Dick, and the girls. By doing it ourselves, we save big and the girls love a change of scenery. So, we pack our bags for a few days but since there’s nothing in the townhouse, so we also pack blankets, pillows, food and stuff to cook with (this helps cut down on expenses and time since we can just stay put and work). Yes, I’m a slave driver! No,

Yes, I’m a slave driver! No, I’m just efficient. Off we go in the car for a 4 hour drive. Here’s some pics along the way:

Jane: Victim of Forever Sharp Knife
By Jane on June 19, 2010
Around 7 years ago or so, I was DUPED into buying one of those FOREVER SHARP knives while shopping at Sam’s Club. I was minding my own business, shopping around, when I hear over the intercom… “Attention all shoppers. We will be giving away a FREE pearing knife in aisle [whatever aisle-like I remember]. Don’t miss [...]

OMG, do my eyes deceive me??? Kate Gosselin…is that you??!?!??! Where are your EIGHT kids??? While at my usual hangout, I was surprised when I thought I saw Kate Gosselin. The Kate Gosselin-Mom-Look-a-Like was a mom sporting the Kate Gosselin doo. The reality show, super-mom of two sets of multiples has reached new celebrity heights [...]

Kwik Kwote: Dude at the Country Bar. Does a fat baby’s fart stink?
By Jane on March 30, 2010
I totally forgot about a particular conversation that totally threw me off and gave me a damn good chuckle. DUDE 1: “Does a fat baby’s fart stink?” Me & my girls: “Umm…what?” (We’re all looking at eachother confused.) DUDE 1: “Does a FAT baby’s fart stink?” Me & my girls: “Uhhh….yeah…” DUDE 2: “Well of [...]

Tis the season for fresh squeezed OJ!
By Jane on December 23, 2010
Winter is the season for oranges!! This is the best and sweetest time of the year to enjoy oranges either by just eating them or having fresh squeezed OJ! It takes some effort to get every last drop so I recruit my dear Dick. What else are his fabulous muscles for? Meanwhile, I make us [...]

Bubba hooks his finger and I get the catch of the day!
By Jane on July 15, 2010
After getting to our industrial spot for fishing, we start to fish. See, life jacket no more. I know how to swim. I know, even people who know how to swim can drown. Whatever, I just don’t like wearing it ok? Makes me sweaty. MIA follows suit but then my aunt attaches this cord to [...]

Kwik Kwote: If only money came that easy…
By Jane on November 5, 2009
“Mommy, you just have to press a button and this thing gives you money?” -My ever-so-inquisitive Louise I was at the ATM getting some cash when Louise was just amazed that this machine spit out money before her eyes just from pressing a few buttons. She probably thought she discovered a new way to get [...]

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Don’t know if it’s the baby or writer’s block or just total lack of motivation but I’m totally slack in writing posts. Apologies all around. Hoping to come out of this blog slump soon. -Jane, Unmotivated. Look, I’m not even motivated to change the font of my signature [...]

How fast can I clean up this HUGE PILE of dirty dishes?
By Jane on June 8, 2010
So, it never fails. One minute my kitchen will be spotless, and the next thing I know, it looks like a TSUNAMI has hit it. I mean seriously, how many people live here? How long would it take you to clean all this???

Miso soup is one of our family’s favorite soup to eat and we always order it when we eat sushi. It’s super healthy, super good, and super easy to make. This is a fast soup to make. Once the water boils, it’s just a matter of adding the ingredients and serving. No waiting for it [...]

Lucy comes over to my in-laws and we have a Boggle rematch. Remember, last time I lost because I was a little under the influence and lost by a mere 2 points. (Click HERE for that story.)

Dick is in love…with an Antique 1968 Mercedes 250s.
By Jane on December 1, 2010
Dick spots the car of his dreams while we were driving around. It was a beautiful antique 1968 Mercedes 250S. This car is in MINT condition and has only 36,000 miles on it. Unbelieveable! Look at the old school knob to adjust the seat. I’m not sure what the leather looks like underneath the fuzzy blue [...]

Thelma has her first real soccer match. It’s the FIRE.
By Jane on September 20, 2010
We just had our first soccer match of the season! Louise isn’t playing because she’s one year younger and by the time she decided she wanted to play, it was too late. Coach is just super nice and lets her practice with them. Although Thelma played when she was 5, since it was just a [...]

My girls found a souvenir of one of my greatest accomplishments while in high school. I received this button for successfully finishing the St. Jude Walk-a-thon twenty years ago when I was like 15 years old. The walk was a 26 12 mile (Apologies: Lapse in memory. It was 12 miles.) walk around downtown Metropolis. Some [...]

So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S.

Green Tea, Apple Cinnamon Cake & Art Time
By Jane on November 7, 2009
The girls recently came across a drawing book that I had when I was a kid, saved by my dear Mom (she keeps EVERYTHING). Inspired, they wanted to learn how to draw like Mommy. I told them it just takes practice and explained some basics. Try not to draw from memory (which usually turns out [...]
