I saw this header on my Yahoo! page and was intrigued. This young man, who lost his arms in a accident when he was 10, was on China’s version of our America’s Got Talent and showed what TALENT really is.
It moved me to tears as well. I REALLY need to stop complaining about my feet now.

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 [...]

Huge fluffy snowflakes hit Metropolis!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
Out of nowhere and unexpectedly, Metropolis was hit with a HUGE, FLUFFY snow. The girls were so excited since we missed the big snow last year. Snowflakes the size of half-dollar coins were falling down on us like drops from Heaven. Not a great picture but this is the view when you look up. It [...]

One thing that I ALWAYS do when I’m in Toronto is go eat DIM SUM. Actually, we go to this great DIM SUM place in Mississauga. It’s Ron’s favorite. Ron comes here so often that the management knows him AND can even speak some Chinese to them. There are many Vietnamese who can speak Chinese and [...]

New Toilet Seat Cover with Kids Lid!!
By Jane on March 29, 2011
It was time to get a new toilet seat cover for one of our toilets. The old one was still in great shape, except, there was a chip on the seat that made it look like poo was stuck to it. Every time I looked at it, it was my first thought too. But seriously, [...]

The Girls find their Best Friends of Gotham City.
By Jane on December 8, 2010
This is Dick’s good friend, Mr. Bean, who Dick has known for over 20 years. However, since having kids, they had not seen each other in a long while. 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 [...]

VIDEO: Riding the Bull: She moves her body like a CYCLONE.
By Jane on March 30, 2010
MIA, June Cleaver and I end the night by riding the bull! Yes, by that time we were ready to take the plunge and ride that large mechanical piece of hide. After watching several people fall off and hearing everyone go “OHHH!!!”, we did our best to try not to fall off. So, here you [...]
Louise tries to copy my drawings.
By Jane on February 12, 2011
Louise loves art and had seen my sketches of the stick figures I draw laying around. So, she took it upon herself to try to copy my drawings. Here’s what she came up with: She did so good! I love her adorable stick figures! Here’s the comparisons: She also did a few of her own, this [...]

Crispy Flounder with Persian Rice & Butternut Squash.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
So here’s the finale of the dinner I made the other day. I didn’t do a full post on the flounder but it’s quite easy. Just take your flounder and coat the outside with flour, turmeric, salt & pepper. Cook it in oil until cripsy on med-high. They come out beautifully golden, crispy on the [...]

Dreams of going cross-country with the kids: Premature RV shopping.
By Jane on April 26, 2010
Believe it or not this Jane wants to buy an RV and go across the GREAT USofA with the family on an extended trip. I don’t want to wait until I’m too old to enjoy everything! I wanna do it now, while I can enjoy it with my family! And by extended, I mean more [...]

Dear Santa. I hope you “egxist”.
By Jane on December 26, 2010
Louise is very inquisitive and very smart. She’s very logical and thinks in detail and again, this year I was posed with the question “Is Santa real?”. I was already faced with this question last year (Click HERE for that post.) Oh the dilemma! Again, I responded this year with “Well, I’m not sure honey. [...]

Lucy convinces us to go for cupcakes rather than TCBY.
By Jane on May 3, 2011
We were planning on heading to TCBY for my frozen yogurt fix but Lucy wanted to try this new cupcake place while she was in town visiting us again. You know how she is obsessed with cakes (lugging Louise’s birthday cake all the way from LA) and cupcakes these days. Of course, with shows like [...]

The girls want to do their own pumpkins and Jane is inspired by Despicable Me.
By Jane on November 1, 2010
This year, I bought two smaller pumkpins for the girls to carve themselves, totally forgeting that smaller pumpkins are harder to carve. I cut off the tops and let the girls gut the pumpkins themselves. I had bought the pumpkins like a week or so ago and kept delaying carving them. Last year, we carved [...]

Shockingly, I come to the sunny state of California to cold and rain. Cold doesn’t really mean cold. It means, cold for LA…which is only mild spring-like weather for everyone else. Today was cloudy with occassional rain, and totally blah blah blah. It feels like April showers weather and is around the same temperature. High is around 60F [...]

Dick’s egg-crusted pans make Jane’s blood boil.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Whenever Dick uses our stainless steel pots and pans to scramble his eggs, I get so absolutely annoyed! It’s because whenever he does, he doesn’t cook them on high enough heat and doesn’t use enough oil so that they don’t stick to the pan. Instead, he cooks them on medium to low heat for too [...]

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 [...]

Girls, if you want new Converses and Heely’s, you’re gonna have to save yo money!
By Jane on October 19, 2011
Money doesn’t fall from trees (although it would be really nice if it did) and I get super annoyed when my girls run up to me and ask me to buy this and that and many times, without even looking at the price! My first response to their request is always, “Did you look at [...]

At the rate I’m going, and especially after nursing, I’m sure I’ll be needing a contraption similar to this. Which then reminds me of a song that my dear loving sister, Lucy Lu, adapted just for me. Some of you may know the song, Do your EARS Hang Low, the kiddie song. Except, where the word EARS [...]

Oscar waits patiently for his Mommy by the door.

Oscar having some fun with one of the girls toys. Isn’t Oscar such a cutie!?!?!? His Mommy decides to drop him off at my house so she can have some “mommy time” and go run her errands. Oscar is so pa-te-tique and misses his Mommy. He just waits by the door. At one point he [...]

Headband Siblings. He works hard for his money!
By Jane on January 15, 2012
Flashback to Flashdance and the days of headbands. My girls never cease to want to embarrass and torture their little bro. He works hard for his money! So hard for it honey! He works hard for his money so you better treat him right! Poor thing. The lighting in this picture is not flattering for Benz’s [...]
