Oh, my food baby (as Louise kindly calls my enlarging tummy) is getting even bigger. Yes, it’s a good holiday. However, regret has already hit. At this rate, baby will be due in spring. Sigh…Melly Belly. -Jane, Food Baby Carrier

Fulfilling my bet with Thelma: Camping in the Minivan
By Jane on September 16, 2009
Thelma made a bet with me that if she was able to fast and abstain from eating for a day, I would then camp out in the car with her overnight, in our yard. This is not something I’m too excited about doing and I thought hoped maybe she would forget about it but alas, [...]

It is through my own mental anguish and inner turmoil throughout my life that I have always sought to understand my pain and sought to relieve it. I am a firm believer that one can only grow from having experienced hardship or pain. “Many people dream of the hope for success. To me, sucess can [...]

I hate eye poo. By eye-poo, I’m talking about that crusty shit that makes your eyes stick together. What is the formal word for it? I know it in Vietnamese but not in English. I’m sure my doctor friends can tell me. Anyway, poor Benz got “an eye-full” over the holidays. He had a cold [...]

Honey, I wanna be a desperate housewife!
By Jane on January 14, 2012
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’m a blogging LOSER these days and APOLOGIES! I can’t seem to find the time or energy to blog these days. (That being said, I’m so appreciative that our loyal Jane and Dick fans still visit our site daily and even read our old stories!) With [...]

Hanging with our besties at the pool.
By Jane on July 30, 2011
We brave the weather and head to the pool with our besties despite it being a stormy, rainy day. June Cleaver and her kids come hang with us for a few hours. And here’s Fanny Mae, hanging with Benz as usual. And actually, without the sun, we don’t have to worry [...]

I’m Going to Finish My Peach First
By Jane on August 29, 2009
DICK is driving me around METROPOLIS for a photo project I’m doing with www.buyusafirst.org. John Gibson, CEO of United Intelligence Corporation, is an entrepreneur who has several business of his own and also works as a consultant for women entrepreneurs. John is also my husband’s, mother’s, cousin’s husband. I meet John for the first time in California a month ago and immediately I like him. He’s Super-intelligent, seems to take everything in stride and is always smiling. Doesn’t he look kinda like Bill Gates?

By Jane on January 2, 2012
Alright, so I’m going out of order but here are some pictures of our Christmas last week. For me, the best part of Christmas is not about the presents but having family get together. I’m excited to have my family together since last year my parents, sister, and aunt all left me to go to [...]

My parents go to a Trannie Show in Thailand.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
In addition to visiting Vietnam, my parents, aunts and uncle-in-law head to Thailand for 4 nights/five days. It’s ultra cheap to go to Thailand from Vietnam: It’s an ALL-INCLUSIVE package that comes with airfare, accommodations, transportation, shows and food for 5 days was only $400 per person. A chartered trip where they take you around [...]

Some pictures of Louise all dressed up like an adult. For some reason I think she looks like a school teacher. A cute one, of course. She makes me laugh so much. -Jane, Mother of Fashionable Louise.

Tenant moves out so it’s off to Gotham City to “camp out” again.
By Jane on June 15, 2010
Although Dick goes to Gotham City all the time, I mostly go when a tenant moves out and the cleaning crew (ME) comes in. So, after showing the car and picking up Louise from swim practice, I pack and load up the car. Yes, it’s time to camp out again. Here’s all our gear. Blankets, [...]

Warning Indian Chilli Peppers are HOT! Dick discovers the hard way.
By Jane on July 4, 2010
Dick loves to eat hot chilli peppers and tells me I’m not Vietnamese because I don’t and Vietnamese people eat quite spicy foods. He and my dad enjoy the small Thai peppers that when just taking a small pinch will make your lips burn like hell, a lingering hell. They tell me that you get [...]

OMG!! Just found some of my childhood stuff: The Green Index Card Box.
By Jane on February 25, 2010
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 [...]

Coming out of the closet! (My old clothes that is.)
By Jane on January 24, 2010
I went to an art gallery exhibit opening the other day (Story to come out shortly after this one.). I’m still trying to stick to my daily goal of wearing something I haven’t worn in a long time. I got this shirt three-four years ago and I have only worn it two times…until now. I’m [...]
