Since the girls fell asleep while I was finishing up our Sponge Bob pumpkin, they were surprised to see that Mommy didn’t screw up the carving job. I’m glad my “customers” were happy with their order.

Happy Halloween!! You want Sponge Bob on our Pumpkin???
By Jane on October 31, 2009
Remember when we went to the Mayfield Corn Maze? Well, I picked up a good size pumpkin there and it’s been sitting there until well…now. Thelma, Louise and I finally decided that we would carve the pumpkin. A bit last minute but better than never.
Mayweather/Marquez: From Jane’s Perspective
By Jane on September 20, 2009
We’re watching the much anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez. I don’t know much about boxing but Dick enjoys it so I watch documentaries about boxers and a few fights PPV with Dick. I know he’s going to say “You’re so lucky for having me open your mind to so [...]

Coming Clean…Vacuuming sucks. Literally and figuratively.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
Ok guys. I have to come clean…fo realz. I haven’t vacuumed in like two, MAYBE three, weeks. I have swept but not vacuumed. Typically, I like to vacuum weekly cause the house collects dust like crazy but this hardly happens…it’s more likely to occur when I have guests. I just avoid vacuuming like the plague. [...]

FASHION MADE EASY: A Black dress…or is it a shirt? One dress, three looks.
By Jane on February 24, 2010
I use dresses as shirts and big shirts as dresses often. This time, it’s actually a dress…a black one I bought in the Grungy Fashion District of Queen Street in Toronto. It’s funny because I bought it almost three years ago thinking I LOVED it but I didn’t wear it until two years later…when I [...]

Green Tea, Apple Cinnamon Cake & Art Time
By Jane on November 7, 2009
The girls recently came across a drawing book that I had when I was a kid, saved by my dear Mom (she keeps EVERYTHING). Inspired, they wanted to learn how to draw like Mommy. I told them it just takes practice and explained some basics. Try not to draw from memory (which usually turns out [...]

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 [...]

Robot representative vs. Live Person. Both frustrate the living hell out of me.
By Jane on August 10, 2011
It’s been a while since I had a Jane Rant (last one was to rant about the way Dick eats his corn on the cob) I guess it’s my loving, pleasing, wonderful personality beaming through and not my other bitchy personality. Ha! Bitchy Jane usually comes out when school starts (ugh). The kids are just as [...]

Warning Indian Chilli Peppers are HOT! Dick discovers the hard way.
By Jane on July 4, 2010
Dick loves to eat hot chilli peppers and tells me I’m not Vietnamese because I don’t and Vietnamese people eat quite spicy foods. He and my dad enjoy the small Thai peppers that when just taking a small pinch will make your lips burn like hell, a lingering hell. They tell me that you get [...]

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 [...]

PONG! Not ping pong…ATARI PONG SPORTS IV!!!
By Jane on April 12, 2010
Remember how I said my mom keeps EVERYTHING!?!?!??! I complain about it alot but there are actually some cases where keeping things for MANY MANY YEARS is okay. Like the ATARI PONG system that we had as a kid!!! And it has 4 joysticks!!! My mom has kept this thing now for probably at least 25 years [...]

With my sister-in-law in town, what else do we do but have COFFEE. And although I go to Starbucks for my me-time and don’t like to bring the kids, Benz is still a baby and mostly sleeps. Plus, Dick would be in a panic if Benz started to cry. He would call me or text [...]

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 [...]

Trung Thu- Vietnamese Fall Moon Festival
By Jane on September 20, 2010
Every year, there is a Vietnamese tradition for the family where the kids get together and light up candle lanterns close to the full moon in celebration of the harvest. It’s called the Mid-Fall Moon Festival, which I thought was odd because officially, Fall isn’t even here yet. But, whatevs…Our community had one over the [...]

We’ve caught a skunk. Now how to get rid of it???
By Jane on July 8, 2011
My mom had set out a trap to catch a pesky groundhog that keeps ravishing her garden. I can understand her pain because I have a few myself but I don’t have a vegetable garden this year so I don’t mind as much as usual. In past years though, my wonderful neighbors (Sharon & Ozzy) [...]

Thelma and Louise get dressed to go to “work” in fashion..
By Jane on May 3, 2010
Thelma and Louise were playing pretend the other day that they were both going to work. “What do people wear when they go to work?” “It depends on where you work. Where do you guys work?” “We work in FASHION. Like in the Devil Wears Prada.” “Well, then just put together whatever you think is [...]

My parents invest in a plot of land and we get to reap the benefits of the amenities.
By Jane on July 16, 2011
Without even knowing how to play golf or even having an interest in it, my parents recently bought a piece of land at a golf community that is about 30 minutes away from us. No, they’re not planning on retiring or building a house here…its strictly an investment. But, even though we don’t have a [...]

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS! My dear Dick, a man of many talents…yes, hoola hooping with a beer.
My hydrangeas, before the storm.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
I love hydrangeas. They are so beautiful. Here are some shots of my hydrangeas before we had that crazy hale storm. My mom, who is an avid gardener, gave these to me when they were just wee little things. Now they’ve gotten quite large and make my yard look so whimsical. She tells me you can [...]

Ice Skating fun turns into a trip to the ER. Yes, stitches required.
By Jane on October 30, 2009
As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

Potential blood clot causes THIRD BALL.
By Jane on August 17, 2010
Dick’s “member” has now ceased swelling and is looking more normal. Except, there is now a THIRD ball. Jes, a turd ball! (That was for my dear sis. She can appreciate the humor in it.) After doing a lot of research online, Dick thinks it could be a blood clot. My entire family now knows [...]
