Occasionally, we will get a craving for pineapples. I prefer FRESH over CANNED (Healthier, no preservatives, not imported from China, no High Fructose Corn Syrup) and this is the season for it. However, cutting a fresh pineapple is a bit of a PAIN. Not too bad, but for someone like me who doesn’t usually like [...]

Going to ballet picnic but end up on paddleboats.
By Jane on April 21, 2010
The girls’ dance school was having a parent appreciation picnic at the park so the entire family headed to the park. There were hotdogs, drinks, popcorn and activities for the kids, like bowling, face painting, etc. We eat, hang out a little, then decided to walk around the park, let the kids play on the playground.

Chinese Mom backpedals after controversial Wall Street Journal article.
By Jane on January 19, 2011
It seems Amy Chua, that militant Chinese lady who wrote the article for the Wall Street Journal “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”, got quite the backlash at her uber-extreme strict rules for raising children and why she thinks Chinese (and moreso Asian) kids are “more successful” than Western kids. Click HERE for my comments on her [...]

Urban Living at our Studio Condo in Gotham City.
By Jane on November 24, 2010
Typically, whenever I am summoned to go to Gotham City, it’s because a tenant has moved out and the “cleaning crew” (AKA…moi!) needs to come in. Dick needs to take care of some business so we decided to tag along since it’s been a while since we’ve stayed together as a family in our Uptown Studio [...]

Fashion Smashion: Fall Layers, Fuzzy Boots, and Safety Pins?
By Jane on October 6, 2009
Fanny Mae bought Thelma this super-cute sweater with white blouse underneath. Fall is all about layers. Thelma was so excited that it was cool enough to wear her new shirt on this day and pairs it nicely with some jeans. Fuzzy boots complimented with a super urban and chic messenger bag and you’re ready to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Pregnancy Craving for TCBY causes Jane to nearly open a can of WHOOP ASS on Dick.
By Jane on March 22, 2011
I was out running errands with Dick the other day when I spot a TCBY. What joy! I’m ECSTATIC because the one by my house has closed down since the sprouting of newer, trendier frozen yogurt shops like Menchi’s. Menchi’s is okay but this Jane loves me some TCBY and prefers it. Guess that’s why [...]
The MADNESS that is Black Friday at 2:30 in the morning!!
By Jane on November 26, 2011
I’ve never been to any BLACK FRIDAY event. Normally, it starts at 5-6AM and I’m just not inclined at that hour to awake from my REM sleep to go and stand in a long-ass line, out in the cold, push and shove, and run around like a madwoman to try to get a few deals. [...]

Jane’s Teenage Diet & Exercise Plan. LOL
By Jane on February 25, 2010
Another great find in my vintage GREEN INDEX CARD HOLDER. Like many teenagers these days, body image was important and I was always concerned with my weight (which lead to my eventual bout with Bulimia). Apparently, when I was a teenager, I thought this is all it would take to lose weight. The bulk of [...]

It’s the first day of spring and we wish all of our Persian friends and family a very Happy New Year!! We had guests come from out of town and started getting ready over the weekend. The girls helped me SPRING CLEAN. Having guests over is my way of keeping my house clean. Dick and [...]

Jane: Wacking and Blowing Preggar.
By Jane on March 12, 2011
OMG, that title was too easy to pass up. I kill myself. (that comes with a knee-slap too). Sorry, I sometimes have a weird sense of humor. Must be the hormones. Yes, I’m going to blame everything on pregnancy hormones. Because I can. As I may have mentioned, it’s difficult to slow down. And I [...]

Your Daily Osho: Retrospective Wisdom. It’s worthless! No one will listen to an insane person.
By Jane on February 1, 2011
Ohhh, this is SO hard to do…being aware when you’re at your angriest! At least it was for me. I remember the days when I would get so angry at Dick about “things” and would just lash out at him. I’d bring up everything from the past even though it wasn’t relevant, and it would [...]

I’m not sure how many different pics I can get at Starbucks but I took this yesterday as the rain was rolling in. It just started sprinkling so I had to move tables to take cover. Yes, like a die-hard golfer, I will endure rain. My favorite are thunderstorms with the sun still peeping thru. [...]

Thunderstorm prompts half cut yard.
By Jane on May 28, 2010
Just when you thought there was nothing left to say about mowing my yard. This spring has brought us tons of thunderstorms. The grass gets super tall, super fast. I was on my mower cutting my grass the other day, knowing that there was a chance of thundershowers. That’s why I was out there mowing [...]

3-D Ultrasound! Meet our little alien sea monkey.
By Jane on December 9, 2010
The last time I went through the pregnancy process, 3-D Ultrasounds were a novelty and not many doctor’s offices had them. It took me a while to get around to finding a doctor but I finally got an appointment and the girls wanted to tag along. I made them bring their school work in case [...]

“Heat Wave” prompts chillin’ at Starbucks. And yes, size does matter.
By Jane on February 21, 2010
It’s warm for the first time in forever, it seems. So, what do we do? Well we head to Starbucks of course!

Mommy sacrifices warmth so the family’s buns can stay warm while watching a night soccer game.
By Jane on November 3, 2010
Since it was the last game of the season, and since the family has SOCCER FEVER, we decide to take the girls to a night game. I’m exhausted, and a cold weather hater, but I tag along anyway because this is a family affair…and it would not be complete without ME! But, being my absent minded cold weather [...]
