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 [...]

Pathetic Oscar waiting for his Mommy.
By Jane on April 11, 2011
My sister’s dog, Oscar, is a total Momma’s boy. Every time my sister leaves him at the house to go somewhere, he sits pathetically…waiting patiently for his Mommy to return. Look at his sad, timid face! So sweet… And so pa-te-tic! Yippeeee! I hear Mommy coming! As soon as he heard the car pull up [...]

How NOT to hit on a pregnant woman…
By Jane on March 9, 2011
I’m minding my own business and am totally enthralled with the massive amounts of different orchids. My mom had finished looking at the orchids before me (since I was busy taking pictures) and had taken the girls to go ride on a choo-choo train that goes around the mall (Some new gimmick to get more [...]

Weird, fuzzy, pink, moth-looking bug at the gas station.
By Jane on October 2, 2010
We were getting gas and I was STARTLED as I passed by this ferociously weird looking bug. I showed the bug to Dick and he wanted to see if it was still alive or just a dried up dead bug. So he got something that would put some distance between him and the bug, in [...]

GOODWILL FINDS: A BMX girl’s bike for Thelma!
By Jane on April 28, 2010
About a week ago, Thelma told me she wanted her next bike to be a BMX. Girlfriend is way FIERCE. She LOVES to bike. After she said, it, I just kinda threw it in the back of my mind thinking it would be a WHILE before she got a BMX! Then, the other day while [...]

New Toilet Seat Cover with Kids Lid!!
By Jane on March 29, 2011
It was time to get a new toilet seat cover for one of our toilets. The old one was still in great shape, except, there was a chip on the seat that made it look like poo was stuck to it. Every time I looked at it, it was my first thought too. But seriously, [...]

Girls, if you want new Converses and Heely’s, you’re gonna have to save yo money!
By Jane on October 19, 2011
Money doesn’t fall from trees (although it would be really nice if it did) and I get super annoyed when my girls run up to me and ask me to buy this and that and many times, without even looking at the price! My first response to their request is always, “Did you look at [...]

Our hill has become like a sledding snow resort attraction.
By Jane on January 11, 2011
Dick and I take the girls to go walking behind our house to where all the shops are and to enjoy all this snow. To get there, we always take that hill that is right next to our house. You’ve seen this hill many times before… It’s the one we ride our bikes down and [...]

We visit a beautiful garden belonging to a Historic House for Easter.
By Jane on April 5, 2010
My mom read in the news paper somewhere that this historic house was having an Easter thing for kids so we go. An egg hunt was held in the gardens, which are just beautiful here. I think that this place is used as a venue for weddings. It’s gorgeous!

My painted face: Jane’s simple, unchanging and much-needed make-up style.
By Jane on September 14, 2011
I used to be the kind of person that would just be MORTIFIED if anyone saw me without make-up but over the years, I’ve become more comfortable with myself and I realized that people really just don’t give a shit. They may think in their head, “Da-ang, girlfriend look like ass without her make-up on.” [...]

By Jane on April 16, 2011
It seems there is something in the air…people are getting pregnant left and right. I noticed there were a TON of celebrities who are expecting this year too. It’s the year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese/Vietnamese Lunar Calendar…the luckiest of all the signs. This is also my sign. So, maybe that’s it??? Anyway, [...]

Getting Out Tea Stains with Oxy Clean
By Jane on February 15, 2010
We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Finally, after two years…Christmas with the family.
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 [...]

Mountain fun: Tubing, Puppies, Cliff Jumping…
By Jane on August 3, 2010
After being out somewhat late getting my ass beat in ping pong and pool, we had to wake up early to head to the mountains. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac have both been up early, grilling the meats and getting everything together. Of course, the rule is NO EATING until we get up there. That [...]

Arts and Crafts with Jane, Thelma & Louise: Crayon-coloring Artists.
By Jane on October 15, 2009
The girls and I love arts and crafts. My cousin brought over a Disney Princess coloring book for the girls (Thanks sweetie!) and we decided that’s what we were going to do today. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to color. It’s so relaxing and meditational…one of my absolutely favorite things to do as a kid (and [...]

Tall Caramel Macchiato, extra shot, in a for-here mug please?
By Jane on September 28, 2009
Today, at Starbucks, I didn’t distract myself with a book or crossword puzzle or cigarette like I usually do. I just sat there and enjoyed the view, happy to be out of the confines of my house, breathing the fresh air and away from the memories of illness that has plagued us lately.

Louise not feeling well. A LAZY DAY is just the cure.
By Jane on April 8, 2010
Louise was not feeling well at all the other day, can you tell? Girlfriend had a cough and stomach ache. Since it was a co-op day, Thelma went to class while Louise just rested at home. Most of the day Louise spent in bed. However, it was such a beautiful day, too beautiful to let go to [...]

I’m running late. Where are my keys?!?!
By Jane on December 8, 2009
I’m running late taking the girls to Co-op and I can’t find the keys. Don’t you hate when you’re already late and can’t find the keys. I running around frantically trying to find them. I feel like I’ve lost my mind. I look absolutely EVERYWHERE.

The “Other” dish that Dick can cook: Meat-Sauce Spaghetti with Baby Bella Mushrooms.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Non-playful, lazy mom Jane watches as the Dads play with the girls.
