I was going thru my old room at my mom’s house. She’s your typical Vietnamese woman that keeps everything. Although I’m not usually a fan of hoarding, there are some things that bring back so many memories and give me a good laugh. So, I think this might be a series of posts as there [...]

Ok, so publicly announcing that I have a feet picking problem has not helped me to pick it any less. I’m REALLY in pain right now, slightly bleeding, and walking around on my tippy toes. YOWZERS!! This is really a problem. Now, how am I going to be a ping-pong champion if I can’t even [...]

Your Daily Osho: Do-It-Yourself. Life is what you make of it. Is it beautiful or ugly?
By Jane on March 3, 2012
It’s been a long while since I’ve picked up a book so I’ve been feeling literally (literally) intellectually starved. More than that, I needed a refresher spiritually from spiritual guru Osho. I just feel drained and needed to be reminded to be in the moment, to not to let ego take over, and to remember [...]

As I have mentioned before, Lucy and I are pretty silly and have our own accent/language. We find humor in the play of words. We’re stuck in LA traffic – surprise surprise – and want to turn left. In LA, it is extremely common if not expected that if you are turning left with the [...]

Backtracking a bit to Benz’s 4-month doctor visit.
By Jane on October 27, 2011
Benz is now 5-months old but, since I’m so behind on blogging, let’s backtrack to his 4-month doctor visit. Dick is in town and wants to come with us to the Doctor’s office. Such twins, ey? So, like many things we do…it’s a family affair. Thelma even brought her school stuff along. Such good girls [...]

Farewell LA! It was fun but we gots ta get back to the real world.
By Jane on May 5, 2012
I know it seems like I’ve been out in LA forever but actually, I’m just really slow at blogging. And despite the cold and sometimes rainy days…it was such a great vacation for us! Visiting my sister and Prince Abubu, spending time together with the family without distractions of every day work and life. And [...]

Venturing out to the grocery store in the snow.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
We needed a few things from the grocery store, anticipating that we might get snowed in. With the way the snow was coming down, it was a possibility. Dick wanted to take the Caddie. He loves that car. Louise volunteers to dust off the snow on the car. The drive out of our neighborhood. Of [...]

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!

Saving my daffodils from the rain.
By Jane on March 2, 2011
Because we were nearly flooded from all the rain, the rain was killing my daffodils that had already popped out their head. Why let them get all mashed up outside? Such a waste when I can enjoy them inside. Look how filthy they are from all the dirt/mud splatters. No problem, nothing a rinse can’t cure. [...]

To my hubby…Happy Valentine’s Day…Uh huh.
By Jane on February 15, 2012
A perfect story for my Valentino, Dick…forwarded to me from my friend, Confuschia. The husband had just finished reading a new book “You Can Be The Man of Your House”. He stormed to his wife in the kitchen & announced, “From now on you need to know that I’m the man of the house & [...]

Yet Another Roadtrip: Picking up Daddy & Visiting with Friends
By Jane on November 18, 2009
It’s time to retreive Daddy since he’s been gone for over 2 weeks in LaLa Land (A.k.a. LA, Los Angeles). We found a great reasonable flight that is direct but it’s a 3 hour drive to this airport. Dick’s flight is supposed to arrive at 3:30pm and so I’m rushing to hit the road after Mother-Daughter [...]

MUST WATCH: Man with no arms plays the piano.
By Jane on August 27, 2010
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 [...]

Your Daily Benz: Scrunchy stomach sleeper.
By Jane on June 21, 2011
I just love seeing little babies scrunch themselves up in a little bundle when they sleep. Yes, I am aware of SIDS but I only let him nap every now and then on his tummy. I don’t let him sleep on his tummy at night. It’s so cute and he sleeps so soundly when he’s [...]

EVERYDAY OSHO: Illuminiation. Chicken Soup for this Jane’s Soul.
By Jane on January 26, 2011
Throughout my life I’ve been turmoiled internally and it’s recently (in the past few years) that I’ve come to appreciate all the stresses in my life. Instead of looking at them as horrible things that have happened to me, I can now look at them as learning experiences and appreciate the challenges that come into [...]

It’s a very quiet and chill Christmas for us and we love it! Time to recuperate, regenerate and get ready for the NEW YEAR! We are so thankful for all that we have and all the blessings in our lives…most importantly FAMILY, HEALTH, and HAPPINESS. I’m glad to say there is nothing that I neither [...]

From SKIRT to DRESS: If you don’t like it, then you shoulda put a belt on it!
By Jane on November 10, 2010
As we sort through the clothes to keep during our CLOSET CLEANSING, I come across a skirt that the girls say they DON’T WANT anymore. I always have to sort through the stuff they dub “DON’T WANT/FIT” because even when they say they don’t like something, I know better…you know, cause I’m Mom! Funny thing [...]
