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 [...]

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.
For Those Who are Sick of the Rain…

Adult Halloween Time: We’re going out!!
By Jane on November 2, 2009
So Dick and I haven’t been out in months. We’re just too busy and we enjoy time at home with our girls or playing ping pong. This year, Halloween fell on a Saturday so I was thinking of having a Halloween party at my house. But, like I said, we’re super busy and I just [...]

Bike trailer still holding up.
By Jane on September 30, 2010
We bought this bike trailer for the girls when they were like 2-3 years old. Here Dick is showing off that he can bike with NO HANDS, rubbing it in because I can’t. I am only proficient enough that I can now let go of one hand. But, even at ages 7 and 8, the [...]

We find a rodent in the shed. Opossum or Rat?
By Jane on November 8, 2010
DISCLAIMER: To start, down here, we call OPPOSSUMS just POSSUM and all future reference to this rodent will be referred to as such. I just didn’t want to confuse those who don’t know this from the onset with the title. So I was in the shed getting some trimmers for the hedges when I spotted what I thought [...]

Dick in love with his Breville Elite Juicer. Organic carrot/apple juice coming up!
By Jane on January 4, 2011
Our Juiceman juicer that we’ve had forever died a few months now and Dick has been missing it greatly. Remember how I much I hated making the juice? (No? Click HERE.) I just didn’t like using that machine but I love the taste of carrot/apple juice. The health benefits are also unsurpassed, known to be [...]

Here I was thinking I was done with crying babies and dirty diapers.
By Jane on December 27, 2009
Thelma and Louise got the coveted Baby Whoopsie Doo that eats and then pees or poos by their dear auntie Lucy Lu. They are super-thrilled since they’ve been asking for these urinating and eliminating dolls for some time now.

Besides being able to bike to one of the largest shopping strips around, we also have access to several neighborhoods that all connected and are great for biking. We take ALL the kids biking and luckily, I have enough bikes for us all. Everyone is riding their own bike except for Louise. She doesn’t feel [...]

There are so many people out there with personalized decals on their cars. Here’s one I spotted the other day. Darius & Tina. Together 4 Ever. Seriously? Is this really necessary? Here I am professing how much I want to use my husband as a punching bag sometimes. And here they are, OBVIOUSLY COMMITTED to [...]

Lucy and I look for the perfect short and fat Christmas tree.
By Jane on December 3, 2011
We usually do Christmas at my mom’s house so the Christmas tree goes over there. Every year, it’s Lucy and I who go shopping for the tree. Don’t let the picture fool you into thinking Lucy is taller than me…Lucy is sporting 3″ heeled boots. In actuality, she’s one inch SHORTER than me, even though [...]

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

Jane and Dick: Country-bar Halloweeners.
By Jane on November 4, 2011
I love going out for Halloween because I love to dress up but I also like to see everyone else dressed up too. And, instead of having a party, I like to go out where there are lots of people who are dressed up. Remember when Dick and I hit the club dressed as a [...]

Gourmet and natural pizza at its best!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Right after the park and right before we take Dick to the bus station, we grab dinner at one of our favorite pizza places to eat. Super yummy and completely natural if not organic. The atmosphere here is hippy-chic, artsy, mellow, and the food is AMAZING. They are known for their pizza but they also [...]

Tired, fed up, I ditch all the work and head to Starbucks and the pool.
By Jane on June 16, 2010
So by now you know that in the last 48 hours I’ve endured a sick child, running around to take care of our car business…kids swimming practice…packing, loading, driving…painting, cleaning, scrubbing…and no sleep. The next morning, Dick takes his pretty little ass’s time waking up. He doesn’t get up until like 11:00. Mind you, I’ve [...]

Da Vinci sleeping pattern on hold while pregnancy ensues.
By Jane on April 12, 2011
I know my posts have been short and sparse…sorry. Not that I don’t have anything to post about…just no time. No time and sleeping more than usual…so even less time (and energy)! It used to be that I would sleep around 10-11pm, then wake up around 2-3am, work and blog until around 6-7am and then [...]

Old Asian Drivers. Need I say more.
By Jane on February 23, 2011
Sadly, my parents Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac fall in the same category as those old Asian drivers that people so often get frustrated at. We were going to a new park and they were following us in their car. Except, my mom is driving (She always drives because she gets motion sickness if she [...]

I was at Starbucks the other day with June and ran into a good friend of Dick’s, VINNY. Dick has known him from 15+ years ago. I used to run into him here all the time but it looks like he takes his coffee to go now. A super funny Persian guy in his 40s who [...]

My sister, Lucy Lu, is in town for her birthday and her boyfriend, Ricky Ricardo, is joining us as well. Lucy is my bestest friend and I love her dearly. Lucy and I have this thing where we speak in different accents all the time. Sometimes Chinese, sometimes Mexican, German, Japanese, British, Indian, [...]
