Fresh flowers are da bomb!

Pomelo: The sweet alternative to Grapefruit.
By Jane on January 30, 2011
What is a Pomelo? It’s the sweeter version of a grapefruit and about three times the size of an orange. I guess Walmart spells it “pummelo”. Same thing. They’re a little pricey (About $2.50-$3.00 each) but are really yummy. I don’t like grapefruit. It’s too bitter for me. But, the pomelo is a great alternative [...]

By Jane on January 17, 2010
We have a neighbor that has horses. Yes, I know, it may seem like I live all the way out in BFE (If you don’t know this acronym, Google it or something.) but remember, I can bike to Starbucks. So honestly, I get the best of all worlds…City-like living with the benefit of a lovely [...]

Taking the Benz for a ride, I mean, stroll.
By Jane on June 23, 2011
No, I’m not talking about our car, I’m talking about our son. We decided to go for a walk, while strolling our new Benz around. I had forgotten how much one must pack when you have a baby, even if it’s just for a simple walk around the neighborhood. That there black bag on the [...]

By Jane on January 6, 2010
So Lucy and I are at Starbucks. I take a picture of her but then I notice her hand… I ask her: “Vhat are you doing????” “I’s playing with Oscar’s nub.” “His what?!?!?” “His nub. Sometimes he gets little pellets stuck to his fur around his booty and I like to pick them out!” “Are [...]

Trung Thu- Vietnamese Fall Moon Festival
By Jane on September 20, 2010
Every year, there is a Vietnamese tradition for the family where the kids get together and light up candle lanterns close to the full moon in celebration of the harvest. It’s called the Mid-Fall Moon Festival, which I thought was odd because officially, Fall isn’t even here yet. But, whatevs…Our community had one over the [...]

By Jane on February 21, 2011
It’s been a while since I did a recipe post. Sorry, they take a while to write so it’s hard to find the time. But, the other day I made some Crispy Flounder, Baked Butternut Squash and Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice for my family. I was going to put the entire recipes for all [...]

By Jane on June 3, 2010
Every year since I was a kid, we go the mountains during the summer for some FAMILY FUN. Our tradition is that we go to the same spot, pack lunch and just CHILL. My parents, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, usually go with us and they always have the MOST FABULOUS lunch ready for us. [...]

Jane: TuTu-wearing Ballet Dancer
By Jane on November 17, 2009
Louise is taking ballet. I think she likes it because she’s taking it without Thelma so it gives her a sense of identity and individualism. This week at the studio we go to is “Mother-Daughter” dance week. Louise has been looking forward to this since she knew they were having it. So, I put on [...]

Thelma writes Daddy a sweet note before he leaves town.
By Jane on September 22, 2010
Before Dick left to go out of town the other day, Thelma decides to write her Daddy a note and puts it in his bag before he leaves. Be careful? Upon closer inspection… Ahhhh, yessssss… She’s referring to the MOST UNFORTUNATE accident which has caused his 3-ball situation. Don’t mistake this with “THE SITUATION” from [...]

Jane trumped by a tennis player and an Eastside playah.
By Jane on July 28, 2010
After a fun-filled day of splish splash at the waterpark, I take MIA out to LADIES NIGHT at the local sports bar. You know the one where I was PROPOSED TO last time. I invite my girl June Cleaver as well, seeing that we all had such a great time together the last time we [...]

Enjoying the warm weather: A pier and simple park with a great lake view.
By Jane on February 23, 2010
Since the weather was around 60F and sunny, we took full advantage. Along with my parents Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac (not pictured because they’re walking laps around the track), we head with the kids and the dogs to a simple yet beautiful park and a most fabulous PIER. I love piers! THE PARK. We [...]

I detest mopping. Really hate it. I hate that dirty wet mop head that you have to constantly clean because it makes your water so dirty. What’s the point in mopping if you’re going to use dirty water? So, I don’t mop often. I may sweep daily but mopping happens once in a blue moon, [...]

We head to the LA Marathon Expo to get Dick registered.
By Jane on March 31, 2012
As I mentioned, Dick had just turned 40 and one of the things he wanted to do was run a marathon for his 40th. Definitely not on my bucket list of things to do when I turn 40 but since we were going to be in LA during the time of the LA Marathon, Dick [...]

Amidst rumors of a threesome with a prostitute, Beckham suing mad and “charitable”. I smell a spin.
By Jane on September 29, 2010
So I was on Perez (surprise, surprise) and the most recent story is: “Money From Beckham Prostitute-Lawsuit Will Go To Charity” If you didn’t know, Becks, being the HAWTNESS that he is (and only when he DOESN’T speak), is recently rumored to have had a THREESOME with a PROSTITUTE (Irma Nici). Of course, he’s TOTALLY [...]
