So we’re at the Grandparents house. I love coming here because there is always great Vietnamese food, compliments of my fantastic cooking Dad! Yes, my dad kicks ass at Vietnamese cooking. It’s the reason why I don’t cook alot of Vietnamese food at home. Since I live less than a mile away, it’s just too convenient for me to come [...]

I was meaning to plan a party for my 35th but have been just too busy with everything to even get it together. Doesn’t mean its not happening…just delayed a bit. However, I still had the MOST FABULOUS low key day…which was much needed. The day was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous…75F and sunny! My girlfriends came over, [...]

Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]

Thunderstorm prompts half cut yard.
By Jane on May 28, 2010
Just when you thought there was nothing left to say about mowing my yard. This spring has brought us tons of thunderstorms. The grass gets super tall, super fast. I was on my mower cutting my grass the other day, knowing that there was a chance of thundershowers. That’s why I was out there mowing [...]

Jane uses a grinding wheel to sharpen her lawn mower blades.
By Jane on May 14, 2010
Here I was all ready to FINALLY cut my grass but now have been THWARTED (Definition THWART: to prevent someone from doing something) by Dick’s carelessness in leaving the string to his car tent lying around and now it’s wrapped itself around the blades of my mower. I can’t just unwind the string so I’m [...]

I always pictured car salesmen to be fast-talking, wheelin’ and dealin’ men. Never in my WILDEST dreams did I think that I would be among them because I’m not the kind of person that likes to sell anything. I suck at it and it does not come naturally for me like it does for DICK. I don’t like having to convince anyone to buy anything. So when I started doing business for myself, I learned that EVERYTHING is sales. Shit! The one thing I can’t stand to do! One constantly has to sell themselves, whether it be their idea, their product or themselves. Sales is a must-have skill that everyone needs to learn but I must have fallen asleep in class again. (I’m infamous for my amazing ability to fall asleep anywhere and within a few seconds.)

I just can’t seem to get away from Dog Sh**!
By Jane on January 18, 2011
While my parents are gone for three weeks, we’re taking care of the dogs for them and it’s driving me NUTS! I grew up having dogs but now, I’m no longer a fan of being an OWNER. I’ve turned into one of those people who like “other people’s dogs” like how some people like “other [...]
Jane’s Maternity Wear: Not ready to wear Maternity clothes? Get a belly band!
By Jane on January 23, 2011
I’m about five months along now and am trying to squeeze into the last bit of regular clothes that I can. Depending on the angle, and if I’ve just eaten or not, my bump isn’t that huge yet. So, in order to wear non-maternity clothes, I’m looking through my closet for shirts that fit bigger [...]

Impromptu photo shoot while picking up Lucy at the airport for Labor Day.
By Jane on September 21, 2011
I’m so utterly behind on blogging that I’m just now posting our Labor Day weekend pics. This is me, waiting for dear sis to arrive at the airport. Today, I’m donning my Princess Leia hair look. The girls always want to come with me to pick up their Auntie. Somehow we ended up getting there [...]

It’s taking me a bit to write the story of his birth but it’s coming, I promise. I have to get the details just right cause this is a story that will be passed in our family from generation to generation. In the meantime, here are some pictures of when we were at the hospital. [...]

Freezing food makes for less trips to the grocery store. It’s time to be efficient!!
By Jane on January 23, 2010
This year, I’m trying to be more efficient with my time. We’re so busy that I don’t have time to run around to go grocery shopping as often as I do. After spending time with J Lo and Mama F, I noticed how they would freeze meats and veggies so that if they wanted to [...]

From Garage back to Playroom: I’m SO excited!
By Jane on January 14, 2010
Right around Thanksgiving my dear hubby, Dick, decides to take away my precious playroom and change it back into it’s original intended use – a GARAGE. Since it was cold outside, he relocated his car maintenance work into our playroom garage. Yes, I have not played ping pong since Thanksgiving! Now we’re back from LA and [...]
Finding new tenants is an arduous task.
By Jane on December 5, 2009
So, we have one room left in one of our houses that are for rent in Gotham City. There are already two dudes in the house and I’ve been trying to rent the third for some time now. With people going into foreclosure left and right, they’re renting their houses out way below value and flooding [...]

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 [...]

The thing about the holidays is that there’s a bazillion more people out than usual and when in line, you’re surrounded by people. Everywhere you go there is a line that you need to wait in. I’m in line and this guy behind me is freaking breathing down my neck and standing WAY TOO CLOSE [...]

Louise works “hard” for her money and gets called to do another modeling job.
By Jane on October 24, 2011
Louise gets called in to do another modeling job. The last job we did together as a family when we did the Bayliner Shoot but it’s been a year since Louise had a job by herself. Remember the Denktek flossers? I’m trying to figure out all the logistics because Dick is out of town, I [...]

“Tiger” Mom’s article still causing an uproar.
By Jane on January 21, 2011
I came across a great article written by a Chinese/Vietnamese man , Mr. Lac Su, who had “Tigers” for parents. “Tigers” being what Ms. Amy Chua calls herself and her tactics on raising “successful” children. Mr. Su is a psychologist and business executive and despite being seemingly “successful”, explains how years of abuse and strictness affected [...]

Fanny Mae bought Thelma this super-cute sweater with white blouse underneath. Fall is all about layers. Thelma was so excited that it was cool enough to wear her new shirt on this day and pairs it nicely with some jeans. Fuzzy boots complimented with a super urban and chic messenger bag and you’re ready to [...]
