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.)

After MIA leaves us to head to LA, it’s back to the grind for me. No more vacation. Luckily because we work for ourselves, we have the flexibilty to adjust our schedules to take time off. We still work during those times, just less. However, after the party, then there is plenty of work to [...]

Thelma and Louise in a Black Nissan 350Z.
By Jane on November 13, 2009
I had to take Thelma and Louise to “work” with me the other day. I had a meeting with the General Manager at one of the car auctions we go to and since there was no sitter (Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were both at work) they had to tag along. They really didn’t want [...]

Thelma’s First Ice Skating Competition
By Jane on November 17, 2009
Thelma’s has been taking ice skating lessons for about two months now. Her coach approached her about doing a competition and Thelma was more than eager to sign up. Since it is a small, local artistic competition, and even though she just started taking lessons, Dick and I thought it would be fun and good [...]

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 [...]

By Jane on February 28, 2011
My mom had heard of a popular island, Phu Quoc, that had been renovated into a beautiful resort where mostly, the clientel are Westerners and Europeans. She had heard it was so popular that it was nearly impossible to find a hotel room because it was their peak season and they were booked! Well, they were [...]

Our Homeschool Co-op always has fun things that we do. This time, it’s crazy clothes day. One day, Louise comes over to me and tells me that crazy clothes day is coming up and she can’t think of anything to wear. She complains that she never wins any of the fun day competitions. I tell [...]

Benz’s Bunz are the Best…a booty call I’m down for!
By Jane on December 11, 2011
Because the baby age flies by, I wanted to try to capture some of Benz’s nooks, crannies, rolls so that we could somewhat “preserve” this age. The softest part of his skin is his back and stomach. It’s so velvety soft. One of my favorite parts of his body is his neck. You may even [...]

I sent my blog link to all my family and my lovely Mom, Fanny Mae, didn’t seem amused by it. Why? She asked me, with some hesitation, “Is it ok for you to use words like ‘fucking’… in public… like in a blog?’”. I just had to laugh, respectfully of course. My mom is [...]

Road tripping with my THREE kids: Benz’s first trip to Gotham City.
By Jane on August 22, 2011
We had one of our rentals empty out so it was time for me to head to Gotham City again and take care of business. Remember, by cleaning crew…I’m referring to myself. The last time we were in Gotham City was during my pregnancy and I had seen our Art Lounge for the first time [...]

Louise and Daddy duke it out…Kung Fu Panda-Style.
By Jane on December 15, 2009
One of the reasons I love Dick so much is that he’s really a fantastic Dad. Dick ADORES his girls and loves hanging with them, playing sports with them, wrestling with them, watching cartoons with them, etc. Being a big kid himself, all of this comes super naturally and easily.

Bed Time! (For Late Nighters).
By Jane on September 21, 2010
Getting to bed always takes a good thirty minutes if not an hour for the girls to get to bed. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. We are late nighters, which is also another reason why we homeschool. Now that school has started, the girls go to bed “early”…around 10pm. And yes, sometimes, it [...]

George Costanza was on to something when he made a bed under his desk.
By Jane on November 11, 2009
I am known to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in a matter of minutes. I have no trouble sleeping on a train, a plane, in a car, on the bus, etc. I’m not narcoleptic as my dear sister would proclaim but I have fallen asleep while talking on the phone before, mid sentence. [...]

Jane back in the day: Gen Xer and 80s Fashionista.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
Perez had something on his site about Then and Now, so I thought I would dig up some old pictures from my less than stellar teenage years. Being a Gen Xer, it is definitely apparent I was a product of the 80s. Could my hair be any taller??? Oh and yes, that’s a perm I’m [...]

They are so innocent, carefree, imaginative, creative, and funny. On this day, Thelma and Louise decided to play Jungle Girls that live in Avatarland. Pretend this is our house and we [...]

Dick in love with his Breville Elite Juicer. Organic carrot/apple juice coming up!
By Jane on January 4, 2011
Our Juiceman juicer that we’ve had forever died a few months now and Dick has been missing it greatly. Remember how I much I hated making the juice? (No? Click HERE.) I just didn’t like using that machine but I love the taste of carrot/apple juice. The health benefits are also unsurpassed, known to be [...]

McDonald’s Sausage Biscuit and Gravy
By Jane on October 9, 2009
All of a sudden I get a sudden craving today for a McDonald’s sausage biscuit and gravy. I haven’t had one of these in maybe over a year, probably longer. Honestly, I don’t know how long…that’s how long it’s been. I know, I know…not the healthiest breakfast in the world but that’s why I had [...]
