Every year I think, THIS is going to be the year I’m going to decorate for Halloween. I love Halloween but inevitably, each year, we’d be lucky if we have a pumpkin in the front yard. Consistently, this has been the plan for the last 5 years and consistently every year, no Halloween decorations. However, [...]

We’re eating Vegan at Vegan Glory
By Jane on January 3, 2010
I am by no means a vegetarian or vegan but I do try to eat less meat. The other day, I went with Lucy, Ricky and Thelma to Vegan Glory, a fantastic vegan restaurant that uses Soy to make imitation chicken, beef, and shrimp. It was extremely tasty and I quite enjoyed it.

They’re not little pumpkins, they’re Persimmons! Fruit of the Gods.
By Jane on November 4, 2009
It looks like a tomato or a mini-pumpkin but actually this sweet, crunchy fruit is well loved by Asians and Persians, especially my family. It’s fall and my parents’ Persimmon tree is full of Persimmons. One year, they had close to 500 of these orange beauties on ONE tree! Then we had a late frost [...]

Roadkill: Graphic and Gross. Do not look if you have a weak stomach!!
By Jane on November 16, 2009
So, I’m driving back from my parents house and I see a dead skunk in the road. It always makes me sad to see dead animals that have been hit by cars on the street and I always try to remember to say a small prayer for them. But, it’s weird because any time I [...]

Dick: How to diffuse an angry woman.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
So, to pick up where we left off…I had written a note for Dick. However, I didn’t give it to him. I knew I wrote it out of PASSION and ANGER and didn’t want things to get worse. So, I crawled in bed after writing my RANT. After Dick and the kids came home, I [...]

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 [...]

After the modeling shoot, we stop to smell the fall air.
By Jane on November 7, 2010
After the modeling shoot, the girls discover that there is a scenic area with pond with walking path. “Mommy, can we go check out the pond?” My first inclination is to say NO because it’s cold and I thought about ALL the things I still needed to get done since we spent a lot of [...]

Since it’s so nice outside these days, it’s HAMMER HAMMOCK time! Fall weather is perfect for hanging out on the hammock. It’s not hot or humid and there are no mosquitos buzzing around, ready to suck your blood dry. Seriously, five minutes in the summer and I’ve got 10 mosquito bites. People will say, “Oh, it’s [...]

Swine Flu: To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate?
By Jane on October 1, 2009
I just read that a new H1N1 flu vaccination is on its way to the public so am I in high anticipation like everyone else? I don’t know too many people who are excited to be getting a sharp needle in your arm, or leg, or anywhere else! Lucky for me that I don’t like [...]

2010 World Cup: Soccer is in the air around Toronto.
By Jane on July 9, 2010
If you didn’t already know, Toronto is super multi-cultural and is a mega melting pot. Some say it’s like the NY of Canada. There’s Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Greektown, etc. etc. etc. Almost everyone speaks at least two languages. Therefore, when you have something HUGE like the WORLD CUP, Toronto is well represented by [...]

Graduation ends in MINOR accident for Jane.
By Jane on July 22, 2010
We’re leaving the parking lot at Taylor Swift’s graduation, which is actually not a parking lot but the school yard. However, people were parking there anyway…me being one of them because Rhianna TOLD ME TO. I was backing up slowly and did NOT expect to SMACK right into a pole. Yes a pole. OOOOOPS, did [...]

Hanging with our besties at the pool.
By Jane on July 30, 2011
We brave the weather and head to the pool with our besties despite it being a stormy, rainy day. June Cleaver and her kids come hang with us for a few hours. And here’s Fanny Mae, hanging with Benz as usual. And actually, without the sun, we don’t have to worry [...]

Thelma has her first real soccer match. It’s the FIRE.
By Jane on September 20, 2010
We just had our first soccer match of the season! Louise isn’t playing because she’s one year younger and by the time she decided she wanted to play, it was too late. Coach is just super nice and lets her practice with them. Although Thelma played when she was 5, since it was just a [...]

Strawberry-Banana Smoothies: by Thelma & Louise
By Jane on September 17, 2009
Thelma and Louise love drinking smoothies. This is because Dick makes it for them all the time….some kind of concoction of mushed banana and soymilk. Smoothies and shakes aren’t really my thing but every once in a blue moon maybe. In the mornings, I’m thankful that the girls are self-serving and are able to [...]

The same day Louise gets home from hand modeling, Thelma and Louise declare SISTER DAY. Funny because, when Lucy and I were kids, we used to do the same thing! Sister Day would be a day where we would have gifts for each other and we MUST be nice to each other the entire day. [...]

We finally make it to the Orchid Show.
By Jane on March 8, 2011
Finally! After trecking through the mall, getting annoyed with the kiosk guy who messed up my hair, and feeding the kids lunch, we arrive at the orchid show! It only took 1.5 hours to get from the parking lot and down one-wing of the mall but we made it! One of my favorite things to do [...]

Dick gives me a lesson on car electrical fuses at AutoZone.

I go with Dick to run some errands, one of which is a trip to Autozone. He loves to run errands with me cause, well why wouldn’t he??? I’m super fun. LOL!! We need to buy some parts for some simple maintenance on one of the cars we just bought.

Depreciation is a bitch. I will never buy a brand new car again.
By Jane on February 10, 2010
Because we have somehow found ourselves to be running a car business, our ride changes constantly. It’s awesome because I get to drive all different kinds of cars and figure them out. Keeps my brain working since I have to remember how to release the trunk, how to turn on the windshield wipers, and how [...]

Some added PIZZAZZ: More Custom wall painting
By Jane on March 11, 2010
In addition to painting the walls, I also wanted to add something “extra”. I went online and found some inspiration for the room. The flowers are just beautiful. I love the colors but decide to replicate it in a simpler form. I pencil the drawing on the wall first. This is where the bulk of [...]
