When we were in LA, Thelma was begging me to go ice skating like EVERY DAY. She missed it SO much. Around the corner from J Lo’s place was one of those small, temporary outdoor rinks they set up over the “winter” in her area. I don’t like these because usually the ice is really [...]

Ancient Mystical Palace: Tomb of Tu Duc in Hue City.
By Jane on March 2, 2011
This tomb boasts one of the most intricate royal architecture from the Nguyen Dynasty, dating back to the mid-1800s. You may recognize the name NGUYEN…almost every Viet person has this difficult-to-pronounce-if-you’re-not-Vietnamese last name. Freddie Mac is so cute. What chu lookin at??? Great pic of my mom in between that arch. The weather was perfect [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Me and my bump at the Home Depot.
By Jane on December 31, 2010
Yes, those are my non-maternity ripped skinny jeans. My legs still fit and since they’re low-rise, they rise right below my bump. Awesome possum. Oh, and you’ll be seeing this jacket on me alot. It’s the only winter coat that I have that fits my exploding upper body. Yes, it’s a Gap Maternity Jacket that [...]

Lucy shows me, repeatedly, how “smart” Oscar is.
By Jane on August 16, 2011
Naturally, while Lucy was in town, we went to have us some coffee at the Starbucks. The kids had asked to see if they could come and, after having taken them the day before, I said, “No! No kids today!” Plus, its three times more expensive when I take them and I have to reserve [...]

Some pictures of my little man and me. I’m so in love!!! I love cuddling with him. He just takes up all my time. That and I’ve been nesting big time! -Jane, Third-time Mom.

Still haven’t made it to the Orchid Show. Mommy, we’re hungry!
By Jane on March 8, 2011
So we barely make it past the Kiosk Vendor when the girls are like, “Mommy, we’re hungry!” (Eyeball Rolling and Big Sigh!) It also doesn’t help that the damn Chick-fil-A Cow is right there greeting everyone and giving hugs to the kids. So, I decide if I’m to get any peace while looking at the [...]

From SKIRT to DRESS: If you don’t like it, then you shoulda put a belt on it!
By Jane on November 10, 2010
As we sort through the clothes to keep during our CLOSET CLEANSING, I come across a skirt that the girls say they DON’T WANT anymore. I always have to sort through the stuff they dub “DON’T WANT/FIT” because even when they say they don’t like something, I know better…you know, cause I’m Mom! Funny thing [...]

I lose Dick’s keys and make PROPER use of Lucy’s “Apology” note pad she gave me.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
All day I’ve been pressure washing the deck, putting away stuff in the shed, cleaning, blowing leaves off the roof of the house, planting flowers…and in between all that, I lost Dick’s keys. (Because I went to get gas for my machines and didn’t put the keys back where they belong.) RUMMAGING THROUGH TRASH SUCKS [...]
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 [...]

Rusty Candle: Random pics for your enjoyment.
By Jane on March 13, 2011
After wacking all that monkey grass, I sat on my back porch to rest a sec and noticed this candle holder I have left outside a long time ago. This used to be silver but I think I like the rusty look much better now. I decide to put this cream floating flower candle on [...]

Laguna Beach: No, I’m not talking about the teeny bopper show.
By Jane on December 30, 2009
We recently were down in the OC…that’s short for Orange County if you don’t know or watch those teeny-bopper reality shows on MTV. We decided to head to the Laguna Beach so the kids can play. I’m so excited because I got a bunch of great shots. Enjoy!

A few weeks ago, Dick and I attended the wedding of some dear friends of mine, Tiffany and Patrick. You may remember Tiffany from the Bruchetta Recipe Post. She’s the founder of GoBigHead.com. The ceremony was touching, the wedding decor was gorgeous, and the Bride was glowing.

New Tea Sets for my collection, brought straight from Vietnam!
By Jane on January 29, 2011
We love tea and my mom knows how much I love tea sets. I have a small collection of different tea sets and so my mom had brought me back my favorite tea set yet! Now I had heard of this tea set from the time that they were in Vietnam because my sister was [...]

Family time at the park full of tangles, pedometers, and feet.
By Jane on June 11, 2010
We’re at the same park again. It’s the kids’ favorite. This time, we bring the whole family. Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac and Lucy Lu are all with us. Freddie Mac is enjoying to his iPod versus listening to Fanny Mae yammering on about how he talks too loudly when listening to his iPod and can’t [...]

These days, I’m a clumsy mess. Not only is my brain mush but I run into things…looked up the other day and almost smacked right into one of those poles/columns in the middle of a store. After eating, I often notice either crumbs or spills on my shirt. Of course, Dick jokes that I’ve always [...]

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 [...]

Bold and beautiful: Thelma sports a head dress just because.
By Jane on May 7, 2010
The other day, Thelma had found a black rag that was once part of Dick’s shirt. It had just been washed. She decided she wanted to wear it. She looks just adorable!! In Muslim cultures, older girls and women are REQUIRED to wear head dresses to cover their head and hair. I think it’s awesome [...]

By Jane on October 27, 2009
Because I’m a do-it-yourself Jane and I don’t like paying for things I can do myself, I’ve learned how to do a few electrician-type things around the house. I can change electrical outlets and even install new lights and ceiling fans. Fortunately, I’ve never electrocuted myself. A plus, since I need to retain all the [...]

Kenny Chesney premiering his 3-D movie in Metropolis?
By Jane on April 14, 2010
The girls wanted to go biking so we were heading out to Starbucks and Target. By sheer coincidence, as we were coming up to the parking lot, we see cops everywhere. Looks like another premiere. Remember the last time the TWILIGHT cast was here in our little town of Metropolis. So, we were curious as to [...]

Ok, so publicly announcing that I have a feet picking problem has not helped me to pick it any less. I’m REALLY in pain right now, slightly bleeding, and walking around on my tippy toes. YOWZERS!! This is really a problem. Now, how am I going to be a ping-pong champion if I can’t even [...]

I came across this old student desk from the 50s and I just loved it. The seat and desk height can be adjusted and the desk top lifts for storage of your school stuff. The gentleman I bought it from was so nice, he delivered it to my house. I was hoping he had two [...]
