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 [...]

We drove by the Korean Restaurant on the way thru Korean town. Lucy and I found the name of the restaurant amusing. I know, we’re silly and stupid. Whatever.

Oink Oink. We have been plagued with the Swine Flu. :(
By Jane on September 25, 2009
You never think it’s going to happen to you, until well, IT DOES. Also known as H1N1, flu from pigs is what it is. Sounds disgusting huh? Now it’s spreading from human to human. Google Health says the following about Swine Flu: Swine influenza is flu virus usually found in pigs. The virus [...]

Do your kids love going to the dentist? Mine do.
By Jane on October 28, 2010
Unlike some kids, my girls LOVE going to the dentist. This is not something they got from me. I hated going to the dentist as a kid. Every time I went, I feared that the Dentist would discover yet another cavity. Eating healthy was not a concern growing up in the 80s. Wasn’t JUNK FOOD one of [...]

This Jane hates to iron but using my CORDLESS iron makes it better.
By Jane on March 5, 2010
I know there are people out there who find ironing to be extremely relaxing and meditational. Although I can understand this train of thought, I’m still not a fan. I don’t iron. Plain and simple. My family walks around in wrinkled clothes all the time. It’s just not one of my priorities.

When everyone went to Vietnam: Visiting the Chi Khiem Royal Concubine Temple.
By Jane on February 27, 2011
It’s taken me some time to get around to posting these pictures of when my parents, sister, and uncle were in Vietnam over the Christmas Holidays cause there were SO many. The last time I posted anything from their trip was when I was quoting words of wisdom from Queenie, her response to me publicizing her words, her response [...]

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 [...]

Thelma helps me with Breakfast: Grits and omelet eggs with sausage.
By Jane on November 6, 2009
I’m a Vietnamese country bumpkin at heart. I know, weird huh? Thelma wants to help me with breakfast and we’re having grits with our special version of omelet with sausage. GRITS If you don’t know what grits are, you’re missing out! (Click HERE to see what Wiki can tell you about it.) A popular dish [...]

I’ve decided that I don’t need an occasion to dress the way I like. I’m going to do whatever makes me happy and wear what makes me happy…like when I went grocery shopping in my PJs the other day. Today, I’m going Goth and biking out to Starbucks because the weather is amazing for January…it’s [...]

Staying cool at the pool. Benz, swimming at two months.
By Jane on August 8, 2011
I don’t know about where you live, but here in the South, the weather is SWELTERING hot. You know how I never leave my bubble and despite a 30-minute minimum drive, we are at the pool quite a bit so that we can cool off. We’re usually busy during the day and it’s so hot [...]

We had to stop by AT&T today because Dick’s new phone wasn’t working properly. The girls and I got bored waiting for them to resolve his problem and get him a new phone. Of course, BOREDOM prompts CREATIVITY. Therefore, I take my little point and shoot Canon out and I play.

Thelma has her first real soccer match. It’s the FIRE.
By Jane on September 20, 2010
We just had our first soccer match of the season! Louise isn’t playing because she’s one year younger and by the time she decided she wanted to play, it was too late. Coach is just super nice and lets her practice with them. Although Thelma played when she was 5, since it was just a [...]

Another accident in the back seat of the Benz. Rushing to get to our first day of Homeschool Co-op.
By Jane on September 29, 2011
A few weeks ago, our homeschool co-op started up again. Our first day and of course we’re rushing to get to school on time. Usually the first day (and only the first day) I’m on time. So, in order to make it on time, we had to rush to the grocery store so I could get [...]

Right song + Wrong timing = Embarrassing Moment.
By Jane on November 25, 2009
June Cleaver and I became good friends when Thelma was in public school for Kindergarten. One of the few good things that came out of that. June and I connected right away being that June is also an exceptional artist, she’s groovy, down-to-earth and unpretentious…she’s not your typical “Mommy” and isn’t phased by some of [...]

Need breakfast TO GO and don’t want McDs? A healthy alternative: Omelet pita sandwich.
By Jane on April 23, 2010
Most people I know are CRAZY busy these days. Hence fast food places like McDonald’s are making a killing! However, they’re KILLING you in the process. So unhealthy!!! Here’s my HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE to that and it’s EASY. What I love about an EGG SANDWICH is that it’s MOBILE. Granted, eating in the car is MESSY [...]

FO REALZ BALLS OF FURY. PING PONG THROW DOWN.
By Jane on April 13, 2010
The other night, I beat Dick in ping pong. Quite a victory for me considering, against Dick, I don’t win often. Yes, it irks me to admit it. HOWEVER, I can feel I’m getting better. So, during dinner, I challenged Dick to another game…so I could see if last night was just a lucky game, [...]

Queenie Quotes: Words of wisdom from the Queen!
By Jane on January 8, 2011
Quotes (and words of wisdom) from my Aunt, Queen Latifa (aka The Chin). Queenie is a no-nonsense, blunt and to the point woman…texted to me from my sister while they are in Vietnam. “If I’m paralyzed, take me around all day. At least 8 hours a day…less if it’s cold. Don’t leave me at home. [...]
