After painting first two colors (Hep Green and Reflecting Pool), I notice that the colors on my walls are turning out darker than the ones in the brochure. However, I’m still DETERMINED to pull this room together and make it FABULOUS for my girls. The girl’s room is low lit so that’s why the colors [...]

The family goes watch a ladies college-level volleyball game. TN vs Ole Miss!!
By Jane on October 26, 2011
After being annoyed that Dick tried to set blame of the flat tire on me, I was able to get over it so that we could still enjoy watching the Lady Vols play against Ole Miss. From what we hear, there is quite a rivalry between these two teams and so it should be an [...]

Thelma brings in some smoothies to my office while I was here working. I thought she had made me something to drink and was bringing it to me. How thoughtful! But, before she handed me one, she said… “WAIT.” Then, she proceeds to show me the sign. Being the creative entreprenuer that she is, she [...]

Ice Skating in LA during winter in shorts and tee shirts???
By Jane on January 13, 2010
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 [...]

I detest mopping. Really hate it. I hate that dirty wet mop head that you have to constantly clean because it makes your water so dirty. What’s the point in mopping if you’re going to use dirty water? So, I don’t mop often. I may sweep daily but mopping happens once in a blue moon, [...]

After getting to our industrial spot for fishing, we start to fish. See, life jacket no more. I know how to swim. I know, even people who know how to swim can drown. Whatever, I just don’t like wearing it ok? Makes me sweaty. MIA follows suit but then my aunt attaches this cord to [...]

Osho on Love: Stop looking for that PERFECT man or woman. They don’t exist!
By Jane on February 9, 2011
I’m reading another Osho book in tandem with my Everyday Osho. It’s called Being in Love. I’m already in love but I still wanted to read this book since I bought it about two years ago and haven’t gotten around to reading it. Plus, it’s not just about loving a mate but being loving in general. [...]

I was going thru my old room at my mom’s house. She’s your typical Vietnamese woman that keeps everything. Although I’m not usually a fan of hoarding, there are some things that bring back so many memories and give me a good laugh. So, I think this might be a series of posts as there [...]

Translations from Aussie to American English.
By Jane on April 15, 2010
Whilst (Aussies say this alot, which is where Lucy picked it up from when she lived in Melbourne and has permeated into this Jane’s vocabulary.) my cousin was here visiting us from Australia, it was difficult understanding her at times. Not because of her accent, which is supercool, but because they have their own vocabulary! [...]

EVERDAY OSHO: CHOOSE NATURE Wherever you find that society is in conflict with nature, choose nature – whatever the cost. You will never be a loser.
