About a week ago, Thelma told me she wanted her next bike to be a BMX. Girlfriend is way FIERCE. She LOVES to bike. After she said, it, I just kinda threw it in the back of my mind thinking it would be a WHILE before she got a BMX! Then, the other day while [...]

SPRING: Thoroughly enjoying renewal, rebirth.
By Jane on April 16, 2010
The weather in Metropolos has be ABSOLUTELY GEORGEOUS!! Who needs California? Not right now anyway. Metropolos usually has a good 2-3 weeks of Spring and then it’s HOT, MUGGY SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER. I love SPRING for it’s rebirth of all the flowers, plants and trees. This is a special tulip that I bought in Holland while [...]

Need a project to do with the kids? How about collaborate on a painting together?
By Jane on January 9, 2011
Louise and I were at home together while Dick took Thelma to her training academy. So, Louise wanted to do something TOGETHER and thought it would be neat to work on a painting together. Normally, since the kids always want help with stuff, I would be like, “It’s more special if you do it by [...]

Mommy, it’s summer, we want MOHAWKS.
By Jane on June 24, 2010
Thelma and Louise came up to me the other day requesting that I give them SUMMER HAWKS. “Mommy, we want mohawks.” “What, now? Like, right now?” I love that my kids are FIERCE but I guess I get nervous because I am unsure of my ability to give them a proper cut that wouldn’t result [...]

Thelma and Louise in a Black Nissan 350Z.
By Jane on November 13, 2009
I had to take Thelma and Louise to “work” with me the other day. I had a meeting with the General Manager at one of the car auctions we go to and since there was no sitter (Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were both at work) they had to tag along. They really didn’t want [...]

Enjoying Nature: A picnic by the river in the mountains.
By Jane on September 26, 2009
Every summer we go to the mountains to chill by the river and enjoy the beautiful nature that we have access to. We unplug ourselves for the day since there’s no TV, computers, or cell phone reception. This year, we’ve been so busy that the girls and I have made a few trips with [...]

As you know from the couple of posts of Dick and I attending dance class with the girls that they are taking dance this year. (Click HERE and HERE for the stories if you missed them.) Louise is taking a ballet/tap combo class and Thelma is taking a hip hop class. Most parents of children [...]

The girls enjoy the fall leaves.
By Jane on October 29, 2010
The girls are superexcited that there are enough leaves on the ground at CHEZ FANNY & FREDDIE (the grandparents) so they can make a HUGE pile and jump in it. Thelma is using some kind of rod to push the leaves together. I guess it’s working okay.

Persian, German, English Slow Song: “I can’t breathe.” Beautiful.
By Jane on December 9, 2009
This was a song sent to Dick from his cousin. The song “I can’t breathe” is by a German Band named Bruz where the lead singer is Persian. Actually, I don’t understand the song at all but you won’t need to in order to like the song. It’s a beautiful slow rap ballad with a [...]

Gobble Gobble. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
By Jane on November 25, 2010
I just wanted to wish everyone an extremely great Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for and I hope to try to remember that daily rather than once a year. My favorite thing about the holidays is, hands down, having the family come together. It’s all about that for me. This year, my sis [...]

Pregnancy woes: Can’t sleep. Itchy Stomach.
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The sleepless nights have already started. It’s 4:30am. For some reason, I was under the illusion that this wouldn’t happen until after the baby is born. Tossing and turning in discomfort. And, why does your stomach have to itch so dang much. -Jane, Sleepless & Itchy.

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 [...]

The girls are crazy about their daddy and whenever he travels, we all miss him dearly. The girls leave messages on his dry erase board to show how much they’ve missed him. They also know how to write their names in Persian. -Jane, Mommy to Thelma and Louise.

Craigslist goes politically correct OVERBOARD.
By Jane on August 13, 2010
I was posting an ad on Craiglist for one of our properties that is rented by the room. There’s already one guy living in the house and so I put ” Currently, there is one male who occupies the master bedroom.”. Imagine my surprise when I get the following ERROR message: I can’t use the [...]

As I have mentioned before, Lucy and I are pretty silly and have our own accent/language. We find humor in the play of words. We’re stuck in LA traffic – surprise surprise – and want to turn left. In LA, it is extremely common if not expected that if you are turning left with the [...]

Huge fluffy snowflakes hit Metropolis!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
Out of nowhere and unexpectedly, Metropolis was hit with a HUGE, FLUFFY snow. The girls were so excited since we missed the big snow last year. Snowflakes the size of half-dollar coins were falling down on us like drops from Heaven. Not a great picture but this is the view when you look up. It [...]

My New Mi Goi (Ramen). Instructions included.
By Jane on March 1, 2010
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 [...]

We’re off to Gotham City. Another tenant hit by hard times moves out.
By Jane on February 7, 2010
Everyone, I mean everyone, has been impacted by the economy. My tenants are no different. We just had another tenant move out and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean…ME. We hit the road late so we don’t get into Gotham City until around midnight. The girls [...]
