I sent my blog link to all my family and my lovely Mom, Fanny Mae, didn’t seem amused by it. Why? She asked me, with some hesitation, “Is it ok for you to use words like ‘fucking’… in public… like in a blog?’”. I just had to laugh, respectfully of course. My mom is a bit of a conservative Vietnamese parent and so cutely innocent! I’m just passionately expressive, sorry Mom!

Three years ago we were blessed to have Monk join our family when Dick gave her to Thelma as a gift for her 5th birthday. Thelma reminded us today by having us celebrate Monk’s birthday. Um, we didn’t have a cake so I had to improvise. Watermelon it is…and healthy too! Happy 3rd Birthday Monk!! [...]

So we made it to the club and although there was a huge-ass line outside, we were not about to wait. So, we headed to the VIP line and they let us in! Yipppeeee! Look who we ran into, SLASH! Me thinks Prince Abu-bu is having a good time. So are my eskimos. And so [...]

A Chill Sunday. Dim sum, driving around, the park, and walking around.
By Jane on December 6, 2010
Our Sunday in Gotham City started off with a great Dim Sum brunch.We love Dim Sum and since we can’t get any in Metropolis, we look forward to it whenever we’re here. Afterward we got our fill of the scrumptious dumplings , we decided to drive around to some of the older, charming neighborhoods that Gotham [...]

My girls built another “house” in my parent’s living room the other day. This is not uncommon if not a weekly thing. I love that my parents don’t have a house where they’re afraid to let the girls touch anything. They get to unleash their creativity here alot. Today, it’s a “house” that they plan [...]

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, [...]

Benz’s first bath, given by his sisters.
By Jane on May 27, 2011
The nurses at the hospital were just awesome. This one here is my favorite. She was so sweet and always making sure I was comfortable. She let the girls help give Benz his very first bath… The one where they wash on the amniotic fluid and placenta off. Look at Benz’s cone head! How funny. [...]

My $12 Goodwill Dress. This summer dress has been WINTERIZED.
By Jane on February 22, 2010
As I posted the other day, I recently found a really nice dress at Goodwill. The dress was still brand new, with tags with an original price tag of $72. However, I get it for the fabulous price of $12! Considering it’s winter and this is more of a summer dress, I was kinda bummed [...]

By Jane on June 19, 2010
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 [...]

Even though we planned on having Thelma’s birthday in LA, a last minute party was thrown together the night before we decided to have Thelma’s birthday. Hours before the party and I’m running around getting last minute items for the party. We had invited guests to come at 1:00 but we were NOT anywhere close to being ready [...]

Some pics of a day trip on the road. We pass some sort of plant…taken at 70 mph. Some trees. I love trees. Also taken at 70mph. Another tree. What is this I see ahead? A Lamborghini??? It’s one of the old ones from the 80s. A Countach. My first love of cars started with [...]

Your Daily Osho: Choose Nature. Don’t be a loser.
By Jane on January 28, 2011
EVERDAY OSHO: CHOOSE NATURE Wherever you find that society is in conflict with nature, choose nature – whatever the cost. You will never be a loser. The thinking up to now has been that the individual exists for the society, that the individual has to follow what the society dictates. The individual has to fit [...]

So we got our kids together and they immediately the kids just connected. They all played like they’ve known each other their whole lives. Li’l Bit [...]

Your daily Benz: Pouty lips and actual tears!
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Sweet Benz is usually a happy, smiling chill baby. But sometimes, when he’s starting to get a little fussy, he does that stick-out-the-bottom lip pout. It’s the cutest thing and when you see it, you just want to give him anything his heart desires! It amazes me how babies innately know how to do this. [...]

If you have not met Monk, you’re about to now. Dick gave Monk to Thelma a couple of years ago for Christmas. Bought from Justice Girls, she came hugging one of those comfy matching monkey flannel blankets. Monk is sassy and is one of the most traveled Monkey stuffed animals I know because Thelma just [...]

Starbucks to change their logo and it’s UGLY. WTF?!?!?!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
So I was just browsing CNN.com and noticed that Starbucks was changing their logo. Check out the story HERE. So UGLY! I am not a fan. They need to keep the old logo. Seriously, did they use the same marketing company as the GAP? GAP got a huge backlash when they announced they were going [...]

Ice Skating fun turns into a trip to the ER. Yes, stitches required.
By Jane on October 30, 2009
As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

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.
