Next door to the place we had sushi was this cake shop. I don’t bake at all unless you count using Duncan Hines box cakes and Nestle Tollhouse Mini cookies. However, I wish I could make cakes like these.

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 [...]

Thelma and Louise: Bjork Doo and Bubbles
By Jane on November 28, 2009
Thelma and Louise are girly girls and love to play with their hair. They found these curlers and had me put them on. I love the Bjork look girls. Not sure why but Louise was keeping her eyes shut on purpose while I was taking pictures. DONNING THE BJORK

Men making beds: Now that I know you know how to do it correctly…
By Jane on February 16, 2010
Of course, I’m always the one making the bed. I like a made bed and hate it when I get ready to go to sleep at night as see a messy bed. Plus, when I sleep, the sheets hardly move but when Dick sleeps, they’re ALL OVER the place! (Which makes my job oh so [...]

Using the Oreck Orbitor as an alternative to steam shampooing rugs and carpets.
By Jane on January 19, 2012
Now that Benz is mobile, we’ve been wanting to clean the rugs. My mom especially wants to clean her carpets but doesn’t like the shampooing wet method. She wanted to try Oreck’s Orbitor dry cleaning method and since she was already renting it for a day, she let me borrow it so we can clean [...]

The usual mountains, with exception of the snake.
By Jane on July 21, 2011
With Lucy in town and it being the 4th of July weekend, we also decided to go back to the mountains for yet another day of chillaxin’ in the mountains. Are you getting bored of my stories yet? Are you starting to see a pattern in our simple lives? Nearly every summer for the past [...]

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 [...]

The girls pretending to be preggars, like their Mommy. PREGGAR LOUISE Oh and the hat and arm warmers are from Thelma and Louise’s best friend, Kristen Stewart. They’re from a company called Litte Miss Matched, where everything “matches” but is not exactly alike. See how the stripes are different colors on the hands? Aren’t they [...]

Mommy I’m Hot, But I Want Money!!
By Jane on September 2, 2009
This is our second year having a lemonade sale. Last year the girls had great success and they’ve been begging me to do another one so they could earn some more money to redecorate their room. I’m just glad they want to earn it versus stealing it. Tomorrow is the first day of school for public school here and summer is officially over!
So, I agreed but I was not thrilled to sit in the hot, muggy sun (89F) and get eaten alive by pesky, blood thirsty mosquitos.
I contributed $9.43 to get their business going (which they gave me $6 initially), prepared the lemonade for them, and agreed to give of my time pro-bono. Thelma and Louise recruited a helper, their cousin, to assist as well.

Images taken from my yard… Spring is a time of renewal. Hence the reason why Persian New Year starts the first day of spring. The blossoms are already popping their heads out. Spring is on the way!!! There is so much beauty in nature. You just have to take the time to REALLY look. Nature [...]

Sushi date with our girls at a more “traditional” Japanese restaurant.
By Jane on January 17, 2012
With Benz being a baby and requiring a lot of attention, we decided the girls too need some alone time with their parents. Until Benz, it was just the four of us for the longest time so Dick and I took the girls out to dinner one Friday night and left Benz home with my [...]

Auntie Lucy Lu sends cards with super cute stickers from Hong Kong.
By Jane on January 17, 2011
The girls are missing their auntie and are constantly asking when is the next time Lucy is coming to visit us. So, they made a special request to their Auntie to send a card with a calendar, so they could mark down the days until she arrives. Being the awsome Aunt that she is, Lucy [...]

Every once in a while, I like to go to the auction to check out the cars. Dick usually does it but I like to see what’s there and test drive them. I thought that Eminem, being a young man, would enjoy seeing all the different cars. He did. AUDI When we check out cars, [...]

Family Dinner and a Movie: Turkey Burgers & Bette Midler’s Big Business.
By Jane on February 23, 2010
Louise has been craving my turkey burgers since we haven’t had them in a while. It’s been too cold to grill so I’m just going to sear them on my stovetop. INGREDIENTS FOR THE BURGER: Ground turkey, buns, onion.

By Jane on July 27, 2010
After Toronto, MIA, the girls and I drive down to Metropolis so that she can spend a few days with my parents and enjoy the relaxing pace that is METROPOLIS. Since we’ve never been before, my mom wants to take us to Dolly Parton’s SPLASH COUNTRY. Dick is in Gotham City so it’s just the [...]

Tiger Woods teacher holds press conference. Another FAME WHORE seeking their 15 minutes.
By Jane on April 3, 2010
Tiger’s former GRADE SCHOOL teacher gave a press conference the other day and is demanding an apology. Woman, you need to get off your high horse and stop trying to cash in on your 15 MINUTES OF FAME! Now I’m not siding on the SERIAL CHEATER’S side but I think it’s ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE and RIDICULOUS [...]
