In our house, red wine goes really well with cooking. Sometimes Dick will cook for us (excitement!) …when he’s craving Persian kabob that is. Therefore, every once in a while, I get the pleasure of having my hunka-hunka burnin’ love (Thanks Sharon O.) cook for me. Unfortunately, when Dick cooks…I still end up being an [...]

SOCCER TIME: First Soccer Practice for Spring!
By Jane on March 11, 2011
It’s that time of the year and Thelma couldn’t be more excited. It’s SOCCER TIME! I take Thelma to her first soccer practice for the season. I opt to watch from my car today because I forgot my chair. And, today is crazy windy and cold. Plus, to keep myself entertained, I brought along a [...]

Guy banging on my door wants to cut down my beloved tree.
By Jane on February 8, 2010
Just had some loud ass guy bang on my door a million times like he wants to bust the door down. And, I hear him on the cell saying “yeah, i’m bangin on the door now”. Now if that don’t make a person paranoid. Listen, I don’t answer the door if I am not expecting [...]

We get invited to a last minute doggie wedding. Yuki & Oscar’s!!
By Jane on January 25, 2010
I had this idea to let my Mom’s new Pekingese (Yuki) mate with Oscar because I thought they would make cute babies. Lucy is up for it but reminds me that it might be difficult since Oscar only has one ball. Yes, one ball. No matter, we’re going to give it a try. Apparently though, [...]

Home Depot to get the platforms for our beds.
By Jane on December 31, 2010
First thing in the morning after Thelma opened her eyes was, can we go to Home Depot now? So, we skip breakfast and head out the door, despite snowy weather. The girls are determined to get their beds. Dick and I decided, who needs SLATS anyway. Why not just a flat platform, which provides better support anyway! [...]

Venturing out to the grocery store in the snow.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
We needed a few things from the grocery store, anticipating that we might get snowed in. With the way the snow was coming down, it was a possibility. Dick wanted to take the Caddie. He loves that car. Louise volunteers to dust off the snow on the car. The drive out of our neighborhood. Of [...]

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 [...]

When everyone went to Vietnam: Visiting the Chi Khiem Royal Concubine Temple.
By Jane on February 27, 2011
It’s taken me some time to get around to posting these pictures of when my parents, sister, and uncle were in Vietnam over the Christmas Holidays cause there were SO many. The last time I posted anything from their trip was when I was quoting words of wisdom from Queenie, her response to me publicizing her words, her response [...]

Immortal Technique…Dance with the Devil.
By Jane on February 18, 2010
This is one of my favorite underground rappers. I found him by accident many years ago and I just LOVE his stuff. He’s deep, provacative and one of the best rappers I have EVER heard. His beats are amazing perfect for his lyrics and his lyrics are thought-provoking, deep and graphic. Check out this song [...]

Stopping at Waffle House for Breakfast.
By Jane on November 24, 2010
We woke up early morning in order to hit the road to head to Gotham City. The girls brushed their teeth. We packed up the car and we was OUT! Along the way, we stopped for breakfast at none other than Waffle House. Don’t let our International looks fool you, we are totally Southerners at [...]

Louise not feeling well. A LAZY DAY is just the cure.
By Jane on April 8, 2010
Louise was not feeling well at all the other day, can you tell? Girlfriend had a cough and stomach ache. Since it was a co-op day, Thelma went to class while Louise just rested at home. Most of the day Louise spent in bed. However, it was such a beautiful day, too beautiful to let go to [...]

By Jane on February 3, 2010
In LA, whenever we go to Urth Cafe, we always pass this beautiful bathroom place. Thelma really wants to go inside so we do. Everything in this store is MAGNIFICENT!

Your Daily Osho: Retrospective Wisdom. It’s worthless! No one will listen to an insane person.
By Jane on February 1, 2011
Ohhh, this is SO hard to do…being aware when you’re at your angriest! At least it was for me. I remember the days when I would get so angry at Dick about “things” and would just lash out at him. I’d bring up everything from the past even though it wasn’t relevant, and it would [...]

Racing up escalators turns to injury…for Jane.
By Jane on August 4, 2010
After spending a few days in Metropolis, it was time for my cousin to head to her next destination, Los Angeles, to see my sister Lucy Lu. Spending the last couple weeks with MIA has been so super fun and it never seems like enough time when I’m with family. Every time my family leaves [...]

Walking in the Winter Wonderland: Our Southeast Winter Storm.
By Jane on January 31, 2010
Our “winter storm” came. Only, it wasn’t really a storm. We get some snow but nothing like a foot or anything. I was hoping for at least 8 inches but alas, no. No matter, it’s BEAUTIFUL outside and we’re going for a walk. When you have snow and ice covering everything, it’s like a whole [...]

Impatience at the Post Office. What do you expect?
By Jane on December 18, 2010
I had to go to the post office to mail off some photos for a client. It was Friday, around 2:30pm and as you can imagine, it was JAM PACKED. The line has extended far beyond the other side of the door to actually gets you within visibility of the agents that work behind the [...]

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 [...]

Does this give you any kind of inclination as to the state of my brains? I almost walked out the door like this. Only after a bit did I realize that something didn’t feel just quite right. Luckily I did make the necessary adjustments prior to venturing out in public. -Jane, Preggar Brained.
