My favorite ice cream is Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. It’s so perfect with bits of chocolate chips and red cherries. YYUUUUMMM! Well, I made Dick go for a late night run for some the other night. No, I’m not pregnant. I just really wanted some Cherry Garcia! Dick obviously wanted some too otherwise he [...]

Phu Quoc at Night: Are you an adventurous Seafood Lover?
By Jane on March 1, 2011
In Vietnam, there’s always plenty to do at night. Vietnamese locals are always working and many of the businesses (especially places to eat) are open until the wee hours. Nighttime is when all the fishermen come out. \ This must be what they’re fishing for…late night eats in town. In Phu Quoc, they have a [...]

The girls noticed a pay phone the other day and commented: “Mommy look! You don’t see much of these anymore!” So true. With the advent of the cell phone, who needs a pay phone these days? Good riddens though. The earpiece on those things are nasty! The last time I used one was over ten [...]

By Jane on February 1, 2010
Yes, it’s been 14 years since our very first date and we go out to celebrate. Being that we had this “snow storm”, no one is out and many places are closed.

Our tribute to Sunday Dim Sum Brunch
By Jane on October 4, 2009
We love to eat Dim Sum but there are no restaurants that have this in our area. So, I have the next best thing. Frozen dumplings. So, I whipped up these fried vegetarian leek gyoza for our Sunday “brunch”. It’s fast, you just follow the directions on the bag, and voila! Serve with some sauce [...]

Daddy combing baby Benz’s hair. Really???
By Jane on January 29, 2012
Dick was going to take Benz for a short walk around the block using the Baby Bjorn. Prior to leaving and being the pretty boy that he is, he stopped by the bathroom to make sure he was looking good now that he has an added accessory…our son. I then glance over and see Dick [...]

The family gets plagued with a stomach virus!!
By Jane on January 23, 2012
Ok so it’s been a while and last time I blogged, we were cleaning our rugs. Let me tell you that we “finished” because around 2am, not because I was tired but…I was feeling queezy in the stomach. Because I could not capture any pictures, this post will be illustrated with a few visuals for [...]

So now that you know our plans to have a natural child birth, you’ll understand our thought process when it came time. As I mentioned, when I hit 36 weeks my OB started to talk to me about the possibility of induction, even though she knew I really wanted to have a natural child birth. [...]

Huge hail storm in the middle of June like I’ve never seen one before.
By Jane on June 15, 2010
We interrupt the current broadcast to give you the most recent update on a large hail storm that just hit Metropolis. I know, I’m stepping out of chronological order but I had to post the pictures from this crazy hail storm that just hit us. Every day we get a sporadic thunderstorm but today’s was [...]

FINALLY! The finished painted techno-colored girls room!
By Jane on March 11, 2010
My project of painting the girls room is complete! (Well, I’m still waiting on Fanny Mae to get me the pillows.) I know it’s drawn out to a few days but that’s just how these things go. Decorating or redecorating, takes time. THELMA & LOUISE’S ROOM The girls share a queen platform bed that I [...]

An attempt to see Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at the New Moon Premier

I am one of those Mommy’s that has read Twilight. I’m in the middle of the third book, Eclipse, and have been for the last 5 months. Too busy to finish it. However, I am a total 34-year fan of the series of books that all the teenagers all over the world are going ga-ga [...]

A foggy / sunny Monday Morning.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
I woke up this morning to a lovely fog AND sunshine. It’s a great start to a beautiful Monday. I can only say that though because I don’t have to do the 9-5 like other people. I used to HATE Mondays. THE BACKYARD You know how the first thing you do when you wake up [...]

Jane: Korean Tofu House and Bibimbab Newbie
By Jane on January 9, 2010
Lucy, Martha and I decide to go to Korean Town close to downtown LA to a Tofu House for lunch. I love Korean food and I’ve had Korean BBQ before but have never been to a tofu house. There are quite a few of these tofu houses in LA, especially in Korean Town but Lucy [...]

If you’ve ever seen a watering can in the bathroom of a Persian person and were confused why you didn’t see any plants laying around, this will help explain it for you. In America, the BIDET…the secondary toilet looking thing that sprays water at your butt…is pretty much non-existent. It [...]

If you’re going to have a guest over for a light meal, consider this fresh, delicious and easy appetizer that can be surprisingly filling. There are many different ways to make bruschetta and this one is simple, tasty, and easy to prepare. I wanted to know more about bruschetta so I googled it. Apparently I’m [...]

Ludacris’ “My Chick Bad” is ridiculously STUPID!
By Jane on April 17, 2010
I was riding in my car the other day, listening to the radio and Luda’s song “My Chick Bad” came on. And while I SOMEWHAT like his other latest hit “How Low”, “My Chick Bad” is the MOST RIDICULOUSLY STUPID SONG! It ranks right up there with “Bed Rock” – “I, I, I can make [...]

Being a great parent is when you let kids be kids and let them bring out the kid in you. Even if it means you must don girly cupcakes & hearts underwear on your head. He is quite the Dad isn’t he? I don’t know too many men who would let their kids put underwear [...]

Gobble Gobble. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
By Jane on November 25, 2010
I just wanted to wish everyone an extremely great Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for and I hope to try to remember that daily rather than once a year. My favorite thing about the holidays is, hands down, having the family come together. It’s all about that for me. This year, my sis [...]

The Victorian Table gets the HOT treatment and June Cleaver suggests I trim it up!
By Jane on March 8, 2010
The room still needs more umph. BOLD is BEAUTIFUL. THE VICTORIAN TABLE I remember that I have an old ornate, although intricately molded plastic, table that looks like it was from the LOUIS XIV days. It’s in my shed collecting dust because two of it’s legs have fallen off. I kept it all this time [...]

The Lexus is in need of new tires but I don’t want to buy brand new tires for a car I don’t plan to keep. Dick then remembers the place he would go to for tires back when I was in college….Reasonable Ron’s. Ron’s is on the “other” side of town and Dick described it as being run by a bunch of “biker dudes”.
The kids want some new furniture…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
This nouveau furniture store is right around the corner from Lucy’s house. The kids love it but somehow, I just don’t think the style suites my house. I do love the white couch and chair that is behind Thelma.
