Ramen, in Vietnamese, is “Mi Goi“. And I don’t know any Vietnamese people who do not eat “Mi Goi”. If you don’t, I would have to question your true Vietnamese-hood! So, remember I decided to venture out in life and try something new? I decided to try a new ramen that no one recommended to [...]

It’s Black Friday and I know some of you were up at the crack of dawn, even before that. Yeah, I was up at 3:30am but there ain’t NO WAY I was heading out in that freezing weather to stand in line for a $10 discount off some appliance. I may be a bargain shopper [...]

Did that Truck just run over a bunch of chickens?? No, it’s just FUZZY/FURRY trim. WTF???
By Jane on April 20, 2010
I was at the gas station getting gas when an SUV pulls up. I thought for a minute my lasered eyes were failing me because the car looked kinda BLURRY DIRTY but when I finally confirmed that indeed my vision was PERFECT, I realized that the truck was not dirty but FUZZY WUZZY. WTF are [...]

I see one of my ads at a rest area, of all places.
By Jane on August 14, 2010
On our four-hour drive home from Gotham City, it was almost midnight and time for a potty break. We stop at the next rest area. It’s one we’ve been to many times. We do our thang and then Thelma wants to look around. She goes ahead of me into the next room that has all [...]

Despite thunderstorm forecasts, Queen Latifa takes us fishing.
By Jane on July 14, 2010
My aunt Queen Latifa loves loves loves to go fishing. We always go fishing at least once every time I’m in Toronto. Queenie has a small ski boat that really only seats 4 but because we’re Vietnamese, we’re squeezing in 5 adults and my two kids. Yahoo! Now, in order to get to the place [...]

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.
Thelma writes Daddy a sweet note before he leaves town.
By Jane on September 22, 2010
Before Dick left to go out of town the other day, Thelma decides to write her Daddy a note and puts it in his bag before he leaves. Be careful? Upon closer inspection… Ahhhh, yessssss… She’s referring to the MOST UNFORTUNATE accident which has caused his 3-ball situation. Don’t mistake this with “THE SITUATION” from [...]

Dick braves riding the Greyhound. We need high speed rails in the US people!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Dick has to go to Gotham City to pick up another car. He decides at the last minute to do this and so airfare is ridiculous. With no other options, he decides to brave the Greyhound. I am fearful because just last year, I read this horrible story about an innocent bus-riding young man who gets [...]

Check out the wheels on this Escalade. I can’t decide if I like it or not? When everything else on an Escalade is so chunky, these rims just seem too MEEK, especially with the FLOWER look. I’m not really a fan of Escalades but they’re supposed to be PIMP and these rims just ain’t that [...]

J Lo, Will and Carlton visit us in Metropolis.
By Jane on May 12, 2010
My sister-in-law, J Lo and her boys, Will and Carlton, are visiting us for a couple of weeks and my girls are SUPER EXCITED. They adore their cousins. We’re still homeschooling so Will and Carlton get to come with us to the Co-op. Coming from LA, I guess we’re considered the “cun-tree” but I’d take [...]

Ricky Ricardo gets Lucy a lovely new retro cruiser bike for Christmas, which is perfect for her to use around West Hollywood. We decide to take a ride out to one of my new favorite hangouts…Urth Cafe. I’m using Ricky’s bike.

Dick is in love…with an Antique 1968 Mercedes 250s.
By Jane on December 1, 2010
Dick spots the car of his dreams while we were driving around. It was a beautiful antique 1968 Mercedes 250S. This car is in MINT condition and has only 36,000 miles on it. Unbelieveable! Look at the old school knob to adjust the seat. I’m not sure what the leather looks like underneath the fuzzy blue [...]

Girls Soccer – our new sport for the season.
By Jane on September 15, 2010
After watching the World Cup, and because Dick plays in the front yard with the girls all the time, Thelma decided she wanted to play soccer this season. This is not the first time we’ve let her join. SOCCER AT 5 Back when Thelma was five, we enrolled her on the soccer team. Adorbs!! At this [...]

Another night of sleeping in the car…
By Jane on December 9, 2009
You remember my playroom is now indeed a garage and Dick is using it to do some routine maintenance our cars. If not click HERE. I just don’t see why he can’t work outside. So what it’s cold and snowing. Builds good character and makes you a STRONG MAN! No? Fine. Anyways, my girls just [...]

Brussel Sprouts: Love em or Leave em?
By Jane on April 29, 2010
Whenever people talk about kids not wanting to eat their veggies, somehow Brussel Sprouts come to mind. The girls and I were reading about why it’s good it eat veggies that are in season and why they are good for you. It is good for you to eat vegetables that are in season because you [...]

Spending our last day walking around uptown.
By Jane on April 23, 2011
We wanted to spend our last day in Gotham City together with the kids. Our internal clocks seem to always be a few hours off from everyone else so as it was almost lunchtime for most people, we were only ready for breakfast. So, we walk uptown to this boutique hotel that has a restaurant next [...]

Just because I’m in my last trimester doesn’t mean the work stops. Besides loving to cut my grass, I wanna make sure I’m in shape to deliver this baby. Sometimes it’s a bumpy ride…hopefully this won’t put me into labor. Although I may use it as an alternative to be naturally induced. Ha! Yep, still [...]

Our Homeschool Co-op always has fun things that we do. This time, it’s crazy clothes day. One day, Louise comes over to me and tells me that crazy clothes day is coming up and she can’t think of anything to wear. She complains that she never wins any of the fun day competitions. I tell [...]

Dick and I just happened to be at the Country Line Dancing Club for a short drink. While we were watching everyone dance, I caught sight of one white boy man who totally surprised the hell out of me with his awesome moves. I was surprised, I guess, cause I was judging him and based [...]
