If you have seen Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, then you know this song. It’s got a fantastic beat and it’s HIGHlarious. When I listen to music, most of the time I’m paying attention to the beats. So… WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! It contains adult material so if you are easily offended, do NOT [...]

A few pictures of me when I was a Baby. Compared to my girls, I have next to nothing for pictures. Less than 10 total. My favorite. My mom and me at 6 weeks. Fanny Mae is so beautiful. Queen Latifa (18 yrs old here) and me at 8 weeks. So young! Dad and Me at [...]

It seems that the FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, is targeting bloggers and celebrities in their newest revision of their “rules” for endorsements and product reviews. Apparently, celebrities such as myself, are going to have to start disclosing that they are getting paid to endorse a product or if they were sent a product for [...]

My Benz, a player? Queenie comes visits Benz and makes a prediction.
By Jane on September 23, 2011
Look who else is visiting me Labor Day Weekend…Queenie!!! You remember my lovely (and crazy) Aunt from Toronto…Queen Latifa. I love Queenie dearly and one of the reasons I love her most is her bluntness. Remember her words of wisdom when she was in Vietnam with my parents and sister over Christmas? Well, while she was here, [...]

Thankful that we are unscathed by record hail, rain, thunderstorms, and tornados.
By Jane on April 28, 2011
The South was hit SUPER HARD by a tremendous amount of thunderstorms, tornados and crazy hail. Some of my friends were reporting baseball and golfball-sized hail, dinged-up cars, damage to their houses, and leaking roofs. Dick was out of town so we went to my parents’ house. As soon as we heard the pounding of [...]

It’s a small world. Random meetings result in a weird connection.
By Jane on February 2, 2010
Do you remember when I said that I met this lady at the park and she had locked herself out of her car? (Click HERE for the story.) Well, her and her girls sat in my car while they waited for a ride. So, we chatted while she was in the car. I find out [...]

My new fave place in Gotham City: Amelie’s French Bakery. Bon Apetit!!!
By Jane on August 29, 2011
Our last night in Gotham City and we decided to go to one of Dick’s favorite places. It’s a French Bakery and it’s open 24 hours! Dick tells me this used to be a factory that was converted into a commercial shopping strip. Amelie’s French Bakery is one of business here. Inside is an eclectic-style [...]

You don’t see motorcycle riders like this in my neck of the woods.
By Jane on July 8, 2010
As I’m driving around Toronto, I spot this dude on a motorcyle. He catches my eye because the motorcyle guys around where I live don’t look or dress like this dude. Actually, this look would have totally passed in my neck of the woods if it had not been for the Parasuco bag. Only a METROSEXUAL [...]

So, I’m always bragging to Dick how I don’t have any gray hair and I make fun of Dick for having quite a few. Anyway, it doesn’t even matter for men because it makes them look “distinguished”. Hmmppphhh. But, Dick’s response is, “You see what you three girls do to me?”. And, he doesn’t buy [...]

Seasonal Winter weight gain results in “Food Baby”.
By Jane on November 30, 2009
Yes, it’s that time of the year where my body decides it needs to pack on about ten more pounds (Hopefully that’s it!) in order to stay warm in the winter. Hibernation mode like the bears, ya know. Actually, it started last month…right around Halloween, surprise surprise. I realized this seasonal pattern a few years [...]

Co-sleeping: People do it but just don’t talk about it. Dangerous or natural?
By Jane on February 7, 2012
All of my babies co-sleep/co-slept with me. For some reason this is considered taboo but actually, people are in the closet on this subject and just don’t talk about it. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of my friends do co-sleep with their kids. I’m not a sleep expert nor am I a doctor [...]

All Work and No Play??? NO WAY!!!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
We just had some tenants move out of one of our residential rental properties and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean myself, Dick, and the girls. By doing it ourselves, we save big and the girls love a change of scenery. So, we pack our bags for a few days but since there’s nothing in the townhouse, so we also pack blankets, pillows, food and stuff to cook with (this helps cut down on expenses and time since we can just stay put and work). Yes, I’m a slave driver! No,

How to get a perfect soft boiled egg.
By Jane on October 13, 2010
If you are not a fan of hard boiled eggs, you should try soft boiled eggs. A soft boiled egg is an egg that is boiled only to the point that the white is fully cooked but the yolk is still liquid and tasty. Over the weekend, on a fresh beautiful morning, I made Dick [...]

Recipe: Pan Seared Red Snapper and Stripe Bass and Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves. (Ca Chien)
By Jane on March 2, 2010
We just went shopping at our local Asian grocery store and bought some fresh fish. Now to cook it up! The fancy way to say how we’re preparing this is “pan searing” the fish. Basically, we’re frying it in a pan. In Vietnamese, fried fish is called “Ca Chien” and it’s quite simple. I picked [...]

Simple and super tasty Almond Crusted Chilean Sea Bass.
By Jane on February 11, 2011
I made some Chilean Sea Bass the other day for my dad’s birthday. All I did was sprinkle salt, pepper, and my special mushroom seasoning (optional) and cooked the bass in the oven at 350F for about 30-40 minutes (or until it’s cooked). Use olive oil to coat the pan. I then added a crushed [...]

Thelma cleans the bathroom. No, this is not another Cinderella Story.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
My lovely Thelma thought she would help her Mommy out and clean the bathroom. No, I did not force her…She totally did this out of her own will and the goodness of her sweet little heart. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to see any of this. Thelma wanted to surprise me. Thelma is wearing a vintage dress from [...]

Pics of Mommy & Benz…I DO exist!

I guess if I’m going to have any pics with my baby, I’m going to have to take them myself. Except this one, this was taken by my lovely Thelma. Thank you honey! I kiss and love on my kids a million times a day. This little guy gets tons of smooches. Check out that [...]

One of the walls of the girls room is completely blank and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do to it. I thought maybe I would do four boxes of blue like from the brochure. Not FEELIN’ it. Plus, that would require lots of taping and I’m not up for it. [...]

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.

By Jane on January 28, 2010
Lucy and I meet up with my Mom for lunch during her lunch break from work. My mom is almost 65 but she loves working and I’m not sure she will retire any time soon. Being the super smart mom that she is, Fanny Mae is a Senior Project Engineer at an Environmental Engineering company. [...]
