She-Ra turns 25!!! I have the POWER!!!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
For those 80s babies like myself, I just came across an article about one of my favorite cartoons growing up. SHE-RA! She-ra was the female, kick-ass version of HE-MAN, who fought against evil, was a strong, intelligent female and I wanted to be her! Watching religiously daily and wanting to have the POWER, I would [...]

Pressure washing my patio and anything else I want to make new again.
By Jane on April 23, 2010
My back patio is made of concrete and it’s in dire need of some maintenance. The patio sits on the north side so it also gets the LEAST amount of sun and even a little moldy over the winter. It’s also that time of year when all the spring “droppings” fall off the trees and [...]

It’s Friday! You ain’t got not job. You ain’t got shit to do.
By Jane on October 28, 2011
I’m so behind on blogging. Benz is now 5 months and I’ve still got stuff to write about that happened a month ago. Pregnancy and having children contribute greatly to my rapidly disappearing brain cells, whereby the count is drastically depleted with each additional child. That and, of course, aging. Pregnancy amnesia doesn’t go away [...]

What has happened to my babies????
By Jane on October 21, 2009
Thelma and Louise just recently went to one of those girly-girl birthday parties where you get all done up and glittered up. They had a blast!! I don’t remember ever having or been to one of these kinds of parties back in my day. I do remember going to the roller skating rink alot for [...]

Just an average day in the life of Jane and Dick.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
Our days are not like most people’s. We don’t have 9-5 jobs. We don’t send our kids to school. So, here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of Jane and Dick. Every day is different, which makes for a less boring, less monotonous life. We started our day at 11:15am this particular morning [...]
Ice Skating in LA during winter in shorts and tee shirts???
By Jane on January 13, 2010
When we were in LA, Thelma was begging me to go ice skating like EVERY DAY. She missed it SO much. Around the corner from J Lo’s place was one of those small, temporary outdoor rinks they set up over the “winter” in her area. I don’t like these because usually the ice is really [...]

Toyota Celica decked out with aftermarket body kit. Nice!
By Jane on March 3, 2010
I spotted this pimp car the other day. A green Toyota Celica, suited up with a great body kit. You almost can’t even tell it’s a Celica. Nice!! -Jane, Sports Car Fan.

When everyone went to Vietnam: Visiting the Chi Khiem Royal Concubine Temple.
By Jane on February 27, 2011
It’s taken me some time to get around to posting these pictures of when my parents, sister, and uncle were in Vietnam over the Christmas Holidays cause there were SO many. The last time I posted anything from their trip was when I was quoting words of wisdom from Queenie, her response to me publicizing her words, her response [...]

Removing Fall Leaves, Round 2.
By Jane on November 22, 2009
So, last time, round one was using my handy dandy backpack leaf blower. (Click HERE for that post.). This time, there’s not as many leaves so I use my Husquevarna riding lawn mower to mulch up the leaves and push them to the side. Even though it is sunny today, there is a breeze and it’s chilly.

Lucy: Sous Chef. We’re making a Persian Chicken Spinach Dish.
By Jane on December 18, 2009
I’m hanging out with my dear sister at her place. She invited me over for dinner and would like for me to cook her some Persian food. I decide to make a Chicken Spinach dish (Aloo Esfinage only without Aloo). We’re all starving because it’s already dinner time and we’re just getting started. I declare [...]

The “Other” dish that Dick can cook: Meat-Sauce Spaghetti with Baby Bella Mushrooms.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Your Daily Osho: The Real Robbers…Doubt, suspicion, fear.
By Jane on February 19, 2011
If you haven’t watched the movie Akeelah and the Bee, you absolutely MUST! In it, there is a special quote about FEAR…How our biggest fear is not failure, but SUCCESS! We are the ones who let ourselves be paralyzed by our fears (which are based on nothing but thoughts…not on facts.). Here’s the quote from [...]

Airing out my dirty laundry, hitting the kitchen, and dumping into the war room.
By Jane on February 17, 2012
I continue with Day 2 of cleaning and I noticed that the laundry machines are all dusty so I decided to attack that whole area next. Between the machines are those reusable cloth/durable plastic grocery bags and coolers and more bags. I notice though that the ones on the bottom are moist and there’s dust [...]

Laundry, laundry…and more laundry!
By Jane on October 4, 2009
Um, seriously? I can’t seem to ever catch up on laundry. One would think that I would be super-anal about laundry but the exact opposite is actually true. I don’t sort whites and colors. I mix in the linens with the clothes. I try to cram as much into the machine as I possible can. [...]

Louise runs a 5K with Girls on the Run!!
By Jane on May 5, 2011
Louise often runs with her Daddy and wanted to join a running group. Dick found one called Girls on the Run. So, for about 8 weeks or so, Louise had been going twice a week to practice. At the end of that term, they were to run a 5K…which is a little over 3 miles!! Three miles!!! I’m [...]

Asian secret to strong, lush hair. Uh-huh.
By Jane on July 27, 2010
I came across this article titled: “The Asian secret to strong, lush hair.” and was intrigued. I’m Asian…what’s the secret? I didn’t realize we were holding back. Reading further, I discover what I already knew…there IS no secret! It’s GENETICS people! I have thick hair (I don’t know about luscious) and I don’t use OOKISA. [...]

Arts and Crafts with Jane, Thelma & Louise: Crayon-coloring Artists.
By Jane on October 15, 2009
The girls and I love arts and crafts. My cousin brought over a Disney Princess coloring book for the girls (Thanks sweetie!) and we decided that’s what we were going to do today. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to color. It’s so relaxing and meditational…one of my absolutely favorite things to do as a kid (and [...]

Coming out of the closet! (My old clothes that is.)
By Jane on January 24, 2010
I went to an art gallery exhibit opening the other day (Story to come out shortly after this one.). I’m still trying to stick to my daily goal of wearing something I haven’t worn in a long time. I got this shirt three-four years ago and I have only worn it two times…until now. I’m [...]

The No-TACKY-EYE-CRAP-in-the-yard Association.
By Jane on May 13, 2010
I woke up to a SUPERFABULOUS Saturday. I walk out my front door and I’m greeted by my Buddha. Buddha is so great to come home to. Isn’t his smile contagious? (He’s still PIMPED up from my party.) The air is FRESH, COOL and a brisk 60F on this beautiful Saturday morning. Because we live [...]

Lowes has this great program for kids every other Saturday…all year round, where the kids can come build something. They hold a “workshop” where the kids can come and play carpenter for a day. It’s like a dream come true for me because if I haven’t mentioned it before, and Lucy is rolling her eyes [...]
