I have been wanting to see Avatar long before it came out but haven’t been able to go see it until now. Of course, by now, it’s raked in a record $2.5 Billion worldwide and James Cameron will continue to rake in bazillions of dollars until long after he’s gone. I really didn’t know what [...]

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS! My dear Dick, a man of many talents…yes, hoola hooping with a beer.
By Jane on June 24, 2010
We take the kids to see the latest Karate Kid flick with Will Smith’s son, JADEN, and JACKIE CHAN. The girls have already see the originals and LOVED them. The latest rendition was actually decent and Jaden was surprisingly a very good actor! Of course, the storyline was completely predictable and almost exactly like the [...]

Thelma brings in some smoothies to my office while I was here working. I thought she had made me something to drink and was bringing it to me. How thoughtful! But, before she handed me one, she said… “WAIT.” Then, she proceeds to show me the sign. Being the creative entreprenuer that she is, she [...]

Good Forward: Unique and Interesting Shopping Bags
By Jane on December 12, 2010
Someone had sent me what I would consider a “good forward” (brief, amusing, and has pictures) a long time ago and I just came across it while performing my routine, quarterly (it seems) clean-out of my e-mail Inbox. It’s of unique shopping bags. Whoever created these were quite creative and definitely had a sense of [...]

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, [...]

Babies and Doggies…Benz and Oscar’s forced photo shoot.
By Jane on September 26, 2011
One day Auntie Lucy was spending some time with her nephew Benz. Benz was quite happy and content to just hang with Auntie. However Aunt Lucy got this “brilliant” idea to try to take a picture of my baby with her baby. (Hmmm…Does that make them “cousins”?) She thought, what a great picture it would [...]

Dinner at Katsuya Sushi on low key and fabulous New Year’s Eve.
By Jane on January 1, 2010
I have never really partied on New Year’s Eve. I always spend it at home, chillin. I think it’s because it’s cold and I really don’t want to venture out. Plus, with all the drunks out there, I would rather be with my family. As you can imagine, there’s tons to do in LA for [...]

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 [...]

Words with Friends: Bitchy not a word?!?! I beg to differ.
By Jane on April 4, 2011
One of my past times is playing WORD WITH FRIENDS on my sister’s old and retired iPhone she gave me. I only use it for the apps, to connect to the web and for playing games such as WORD and SCRAMBLE. I have multiple games going and one is with my cousin, Eminem…AKA Asiangoose. I [...]

Pier 1 Fun Lucy and Fanny Mae.
By Jane on September 16, 2010
I love Pier 1. I love all the accessories there. Here are some pics of us browsing around. Comfy Oscar? I would be too! Blinged out EYELASH CURLERS! Really??? I used to use eyelash curlers but I’m so afraid I’m going to rip them ALL out that I only wear mascara now. Plus they curl [...]

Convertibles: Love them or not?
By Jane on September 21, 2010
Since it was summer, we had been looking for a convertible for the girls to enjoy. We found one and the kids (including the big one that is my husband) LOVE it! They love it so much they don’t want to sell it. It’s like a roller coaster ride for them. I’m not sure what [...]
No, this Vietnamese Jane does not want to be an Engineer for the rest of her life.
By Jane on February 15, 2010
LIFE IS LIMITLESS Since leaving corporate America and not falling back on my degree and experience as an Engineer, I have found such creativity and freedom in that I’m still figuring out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Life is short. There are so many things that interest me, that I want [...]

Finally ready to assemble the Twin Beds.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
After nearly waiting two weeks in high anticipation of having their own NEW beds, we are finally ready to start the assembly process. We start with one bed and take out all the pieces. I’m in charge of reading the instructions and telling everyone what to do. As Dick points out, “You ARE the Eng-gin-eer!”

Another day, another park. Scavenger hunts, tag, and fun, fun, fun.
By Jane on October 14, 2009
Since we happened to be in downtown Metropolis, Dick and I decide to take Thelma and Louise to one of their favorite parks. It’s an amazing, great park built by community volunteers and the kids love it because it’s like a big maze for them.

Your daily Benz: Grandma knits Benz a blankie.
By Jane on June 24, 2011
My mom has been knitting a blanket for Benz. It’s super nice so I wanted to take some pictures of him with it while he’s still tiny, even though she wasn’t quite done with it. Little man has no eyebrows. This concerns Dick but I’m like, he’s Persian! I don’t think hair is one of [...]

Boys and their toys: Adult Big Wheels.
By Jane on June 23, 2010
I spotted this truck the other day. I guess this person has not outgrown their BIG WHEELS days. Seriously, is this necessary? Is there an ESCALATOR that comes with this thing? Boys and their toys. Good thing Dick isn’t into these things. Cool to look at, not to own. -Jane, Non-fan of Big Wheels.

You may have noticed I have this mole above my lip. It’s been there since I was a child, only, it wasn’t always so prominent. It’s grown over the years. It used to be flat and now it’s poofy and has some dimension to it. Dick and Lucy Lu continuously make fun of me, telling [...]

It’s kinda like a Cracker Barrel, only NOT. Pictures from our small road trip…

Some pics of a day trip on the road. We pass some sort of plant…taken at 70 mph.

Just an average day in the life of Jane and Dick.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
Our days are not like most people’s. We don’t have 9-5 jobs. We don’t send our kids to school. So, here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of Jane and Dick. Every day is different, which makes for a less boring, less monotonous life. We started our day at 11:15am this particular morning [...]
