You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.

My 1.5 acre property has a massive amount of trees. I love it because I feel so much closer to nature yet I don’t have to live in the boonies away from civilization.

My poor tree. Although I’m somewhat relieved that our tree won’t be smooshing us at night if there is a storm, it’s still sad that our tree is no longer with us. We have enjoyed you greatly, TREE! Sniff sniff. -Jane, Tree Lover

By Jane on December 3, 2009
I started dying my hair when I was in college. I HATED my original hair color and wanted look different so started coloring my hair. It’s been all kinds of crazy shades of black, brown, red, orange, and even blond highlights. Although I used to get it professionally done, this is extremely pricey for one [...]

After MIA leaves us to head to LA, it’s back to the grind for me. No more vacation. Luckily because we work for ourselves, we have the flexibilty to adjust our schedules to take time off. We still work during those times, just less. However, after the party, then there is plenty of work to [...]

Pregnancy Rhinitis is killing me. I hate not being able to breath through my nose.
By Jane on December 17, 2010
One of the things I detest most in life is having a stuffy nose and having to breath through my mouth. I feel like I’m eating all the dust particles in the air. Since being pregnant, it’s been non-stop stuffage of the nose. After doing some research, it turns out this actually a condition and is [...]

Walking in the Winter Wonderland: Our Southeast Winter Storm.
By Jane on January 31, 2010
Our “winter storm” came. Only, it wasn’t really a storm. We get some snow but nothing like a foot or anything. I was hoping for at least 8 inches but alas, no. No matter, it’s BEAUTIFUL outside and we’re going for a walk. When you have snow and ice covering everything, it’s like a whole [...]

Thelma and Louise: Going back in time.
By Jane on November 20, 2009
I came across some pictures of the girls when they were smaller and thought I would share. I miss them so much at this age. I think Louise was about 1yrs old and Thelma was 2 yrs old. See? If I don’t write these things down, I would never remember!!

Favorites

I didn’t eat anything prior to us going to the Halloween party so I was starving and craving some sushi. So, Dick and I ventured to one of our favorite sushi bars downtown after we left the party. What I like about this place is that it has a loungy feel. It’s like a neighborhood hang out where those who live nearby [...]

Stomachs are hurting BIG TIME but Louise and I refuse to do #2 in public.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
After Louise’s shoot is done, we are heading home…it’s two hours remember? We had just been on the road for about half an hour when my stomach started hurting and starts to gurgle. You know the kind where you’re like “Hmmmm…not good.” It’s the kind of gurgle that one gets when THE RUNS (A.k.a. Diarhea) is [...]

After spending a few days in Metropolis, it was time for my cousin to head to her next destination, Los Angeles, to see my sister Lucy Lu. Spending the last couple weeks with MIA has been so super fun and it never seems like enough time when I’m with family. Every time my family leaves [...]

Surprise visit on my birthday.
By Jane on April 10, 2011
I’m 36 this year. Not a major milestone. And, with me being pregnant this year, no dress-up party like last year. Remember mine and June’s joint birthday bash… Pimps N’ Ho’s? I just wasn’t feelin’ it this year and just wanted to chill with my family. My birthday started out with Dick and the girls making [...]

Like everyone else in Metropolis, I was out getting groceries in anticipation of the “WINTER STORM” coming our way. Dick was driving back from Gotham City and although I was somewhat worried he would get caught in the storm, the snow had just started. He suggested I hit the Blockbuster and get us some movies.
