Just thought you might be missing Monk and Ducky.
It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned them.
They’re still around.
They’re just chillin’ with their friends.

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?

FASHION MADE EASY: A Black dress…or is it a shirt? One dress, three looks.
By Jane on February 24, 2010
I use dresses as shirts and big shirts as dresses often. This time, it’s actually a dress…a black one I bought in the Grungy Fashion District of Queen Street in Toronto. It’s funny because I bought it almost three years ago thinking I LOVED it but I didn’t wear it until two years later…when I [...]

The other night, my cousins and I decide to go to the local sports bar since it was Ladies Night. You may or may not know that I love to shoot pool. It’s one of my favorite pastimes. I started playing in high school, used to skip class in college to go play (A couple [...]

Pier 1 Fun Lucy and Fanny Mae.
By Jane on September 16, 2010
I love Pier 1. I love all the accessories there. Here are some pics of us browsing around. Comfy Oscar? I would be too! Blinged out EYELASH CURLERS! Really??? I used to use eyelash curlers but I’m so afraid I’m going to rip them ALL out that I only wear mascara now. Plus they curl [...]

Need a project to do with the kids? How about collaborate on a painting together?
By Jane on January 9, 2011
Louise and I were at home together while Dick took Thelma to her training academy. So, Louise wanted to do something TOGETHER and thought it would be neat to work on a painting together. Normally, since the kids always want help with stuff, I would be like, “It’s more special if you do it by [...]

My New Mi Goi (Ramen). Instructions included.
By Jane on March 1, 2010
Ramen, in Vietnamese, is “Mi Goi“. And I don’t know any Vietnamese people who do not eat “Mi Goi”. If you don’t, I would have to question your true Vietnamese-hood! So, remember I decided to venture out in life and try something new? I decided to try a new ramen that no one recommended to [...]

I had introduced my girls to one of my childhood favorites. Apples with peanut butter spread on top. I remember thinking, apples…with peanut butter…really. But, it’s SOOOOO good. If you’ve never tried it, OMG, you’re missing out! My kids LOVE it! We all do. Get your protein as well as keep the doctor away! By [...]

Shopping at the market for a unique gift.
By Jane on September 22, 2010
Lucy’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her something unique. What I wanted to get her was a nice apron, since my dear sister (who never used to cook) is now cooking. (Lucy often even uses my recipes.) But, when I shopped around, I found all the aprons I looked at to [...]

Aunty Lucy lugs a birthday cake for Louise all the way from LA!
By Jane on March 14, 2011
Being the loving and totally awesome Auntie that Lucy is, Lucy decides to order a cake in LA and from the same place we had bought a cake for Thelma’s 8th birthday that we celebrated in LA. Louise had decided on using a “Hippie Chick” party theme from Party City…so Lucy used the invitation as inspiration [...]

My girls joined the summer book lub where if you read 12 hours, you get a “prize”. Remember how it was critical for us to bring their check off sheet to Gotham City? Click HERE. Well, they set the goal to complete the sheet and I was so proud of them because they were reading constantly and [...]

Are there Depends for pregnant women??? The Preggar-Pantiliner???
By Jane on December 15, 2010
Freakin-A. Someone needs to design some Depends or something for pregnant women. It needs to be called the Preggar Pantiliner. (I need to trademark that. Remember where you heard it first!) If you ever hear me sneeze one of my big karate-chop sneezes and then follow it with “Damn it!”, it’s because I’ve just peed [...]

When my family gets together, it’s ALL about the food.
By Jane on April 5, 2010
Yes, we’re a family of piggy wiggies. We LOVE food. Lau or Hot pot. It’s like FONDUE only WAY BETTER! Homemade Banh Cuon. Not sure how to describe this one. Kinda like a white crepe with sauteed ground beef inside. You use a few pieces of this with some chopped up veggies (seen below), some [...]

Our last night in Gotham City and we decided to go to one of Dick’s favorite places. It’s a French Bakery and it’s open 24 hours! Dick tells me this used to be a factory that was converted into a commercial shopping strip. Amelie’s French Bakery is one of business here. Inside is an eclectic-style [...]

Unless I take pictures of myself, I would never have any. Now you know why most pictures of me have one arm extended and half of my face is lopped off. Of course, Dick says it’s because my head is so big and only half of it would fit on the camera. Such the comedian [...]
Wasp problem turns into an inadvertant beheading.
By Jane on November 29, 2009
It seems like we are seeing more and more of the wasps in our house. Remember when Thelma and Louise went hunting for their nest? (Click HERE). They were unsuccessful and therefore, we still don’t know where the wasps are coming from. But, every time the girls see one, they’re frantic and ready for me [...]

Being that my iMac is large, it is not portable when you have to fly somewhere. I’m working off Dick’s PC laptop. I hate it. I miss my iMac greatly. It is true. Once you go Mac, you never go back. I need to get a Macbook Pro. Gods! Santa! You can add that to [...]
