Turbo-pressure washing my porch the other day made it look great, however, it knocked off a little more paint than I wanted off the railing. I haven’t painted it in a few years and it’s been worn by the weather. I like the DISTRESSED look but I also don’t want my railing to rot. So, [...]

Jane and Dick: Part-time actors/models.
By Jane on October 13, 2009
Remember I mentioned that Dick and I do some acting and modeling on the side? Well, we almost never get to see the work nor do we hardly receive copies of our work. Occasionally, friends will see our commercials and mention it to us but since we hardly watch TV, we almost never see the [...]

Jane: Vomit projectile victim two times in the last week.
By Jane on February 12, 2010
It seems my girls have both somehow contracted the 24-hour stomach virus but within a week span. First it was Thelma while we were in Gotham City cleaning up our property.

Jane and Dick Censored! Blocked in the UAE.
By Jane on December 21, 2010
I posted a video on You Tube last March when I had done a mini-makeover for the girls’ room. I had painted some flowers and butterflies, which took me ALL night and probably around 10-12 hours but I put the video in fast mode and shrank it down to a few minutes. Here’s the video [...]

Bold and beautiful: Thelma sports a head dress just because.
By Jane on May 7, 2010
The other day, Thelma had found a black rag that was once part of Dick’s shirt. It had just been washed. She decided she wanted to wear it. She looks just adorable!! In Muslim cultures, older girls and women are REQUIRED to wear head dresses to cover their head and hair. I think it’s awesome [...]

Dick and his marathon: Extensive running may cause chaffing of nipples.
By Jane on March 2, 2010
Remember I mentioned Dick is running a marathon soon, therefore he’s training and researching about marathons online. DICK: “Baby, I’ve been researching about marathons. And some people have commented about the long term effects of having run a marathon. Like, this one guy said he couldn’t do anything RAPIDLY for 18 months after he ran [...]

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 [...]

What? It’s late. And I’m hungry. Whole wheat turkey w/mayo & tomato. Lays plain chips. Claussen pickles. Mmmm, that was good. I think that took me about 5 minutes to eat. Remember, I’m pregnant! Yes, I plan on using that line to the fullest extent! Of course, Dick will tell you this is not a [...]

Shortly after the one top tooth fell out, Louise yanked out the loose one that was next to it too! Girlfriend is INSANE! Every time I see that big gap in the front it reminds me of a METH HEAD or CRACK HEAD. Just sayin’! I think it’s thuper-cute. LOL! Cutest meth head I’ve ever [...]

Texts from Vietnam: Already torturous getting everyone together.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Texts that I have received from Lucy while she and the rest of my family are in Vietnam: Dec. 25, 2010 Already torturous getting everyone together. This cracks me up. This is like her second day in Vietnam. My aunt, Queen Latifa and my other aunt from Australia (w/husband) are there with Lucy. And, my [...]

A Hike Thru Runyon Canyon in Flip Flops
By Jane on December 20, 2009
Lucy doesn’t live too far from Runyon Canyon. It’s a fantastic place to go hiking to see some spectacular views of LA. It’s also a popular spot for celebrities to go walk their dogs and stay fit. We get started and walk up this hill. Come to find out, that’s not the starting point.

The girls make sweet potato casserole and apple pie!
By Jane on November 27, 2011
The girls wanted to help cook this year. Louise wanted to make the Sweet Potato Casserole. And Thelma was making an apple pie for my girl June Cleaver and her kids. Thelma and Louise learned how to make apple pie in their co-op cooking class. Louise was then done with her sweet potato casserole so she [...]

So now that you know our plans to have a natural child birth, you’ll understand our thought process when it came time. As I mentioned, when I hit 36 weeks my OB started to talk to me about the possibility of induction, even though she knew I really wanted to have a natural child birth. [...]

My girls have been inspired to read. Hope they keep it up.

I’m so excited that Thelma and Louise are getting into reading. Now that I’ve cut off the TV at home, it’s made a world of difference.

While the girls are playing on the playground, Dick and I go for a walk with Benz. Only, it seems like it’s just the two of them… Dick took a few of me but they were just hideous. Not solely the fault of the photographer. I wish Dick had some photo skillz so that I [...]

As I may have mentioned, one of the great benefits of homeschooling is that you can take it on the road. This is one of the main reasons why we homeschool.

I hate eye poo. By eye-poo, I’m talking about that crusty shit that makes your eyes stick together. What is the formal word for it? I know it in Vietnamese but not in English. I’m sure my doctor friends can tell me. Anyway, poor Benz got “an eye-full” over the holidays. He had a cold [...]

No, this Vietnamese Jane does not want to be an Engineer for the rest of her life.
By Jane on February 15, 2010
LIFE IS LIMITLESS Since leaving corporate America and not falling back on my degree and experience as an Engineer, I have found such creativity and freedom in that I’m still figuring out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Life is short. There are so many things that interest me, that I want [...]
