It’s time to retreive Daddy since he’s been gone for over 2 weeks in LaLa Land (A.k.a. LA, Los Angeles). We found a great reasonable flight that is direct but it’s a 3 hour drive to this airport. Dick’s flight is supposed to arrive at 3:30pm and so I’m rushing to hit the road after Mother-Daughter [...]

Dick locks the keys in the Caddie, while it’s still running!
By Jane on January 14, 2011
The other day we were going to the grocery store and so since it was cold, Dick decided to warm up the car for a bit first. It is always a good idea to warm up your car before you take off but especially in the winter. I’ve always hated having to wait to warm [...]

ODE: For Intelligent Optimists. My new favorite magazine.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
The other day, I biked out to Starbucks for some ME-TIME and was reading my book, Learning from Salmon, and my new favorite magazine…introduced to me by my dear DICK. “You’re so lucky to have me. See how I expand your mind and make you so much smarter?” Ugh. He makes it so difficult for [...]

Dinner at Katsuya Sushi on low key and fabulous New Year’s Eve.
By Jane on January 1, 2010
I have never really partied on New Year’s Eve. I always spend it at home, chillin. I think it’s because it’s cold and I really don’t want to venture out. Plus, with all the drunks out there, I would rather be with my family. As you can imagine, there’s tons to do in LA for [...]

Getting Out Tea Stains with Oxy Clean
By Jane on February 15, 2010
We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Stomachs are hurting BIG TIME but Louise and I refuse to do #2 in public.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
After Louise’s shoot is done, we are heading home…it’s two hours remember? We had just been on the road for about half an hour when my stomach started hurting and starts to gurgle. You know the kind where you’re like “Hmmmm…not good.” It’s the kind of gurgle that one gets when THE RUNS (A.k.a. Diarhea) is [...]

Fall flowers for your blah day…
By Jane on October 10, 2009
There’s still some flowers around even though it’s fall. Enjoy. A SHADE OF RED. Dahlia. Still alive with blossoms. A SHADE OF GREEN. Pink Chrysanthamums. These are perrenials, which for those who lack the green thumb, means they come back every year by themselves. In fact, they multiply like mad and have taken over my [...]

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,

Making room for the twin beds.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
Now that I’ve gotten past stepping in crap while picking up the mattresses for the girls, we are ready to put the frames together. However first, we need to clear out their room! MOVING OUT THE BED We start by taking their old bed out of the room and discover that the headboard will not [...]

Wrestling over Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia
By Jane on January 19, 2010
My favorite ice cream is Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. It’s so perfect with bits of chocolate chips and red cherries. YYUUUUMMM! Well, I made Dick go for a late night run for some the other night. No, I’m not pregnant. I just really wanted some Cherry Garcia! Dick obviously wanted some too otherwise he [...]

The Grandparents lovin’ on Benz when they can.
By Jane on June 13, 2011
With the girls asking to hold Benz all the time, my parents will occasionally also get an opportunity to love on Benz. My dad is so cute when it comes to babies. He could sit and stare at them forever. This little guy is getting way spoiled. Something about cuddling and napping [...]

Merry-go-rounds and Vending Machines get my kids every time.
By Jane on April 18, 2010
It never fails, whenever we are at Wal-Mart, the girls want to ride the Merry-Go-Round. This little thing that goes around and around and around… It seems to be never ending…and brings them so much joy. Not to mention, the vending machines are ALWAYS calling their name. Here’s a video below of all the excitement and fun.

The thing about the holidays is that there’s a bazillion more people out than usual and when in line, you’re surrounded by people. Everywhere you go there is a line that you need to wait in. I’m in line and this guy behind me is freaking breathing down my neck and standing WAY TOO CLOSE [...]

No way you are throwing away those beautiful orchids…
By Jane on February 11, 2010
I was walking around one of my favorite super markets and I see this lady ripping off all these beautiful stems with these gorgeous orchid blossoms that still looked fresh. Not being one who is shy to ask, I asked her if she was going to throw them away. She was and asked if I [...]

George Costanza was on to something when he made a bed under his desk.
By Jane on November 11, 2009
I am known to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in a matter of minutes. I have no trouble sleeping on a train, a plane, in a car, on the bus, etc. I’m not narcoleptic as my dear sister would proclaim but I have fallen asleep while talking on the phone before, mid sentence. [...]

From driving a brand new 2011 Lexus to a 20-year old 1991 Honda Accord.
By Jane on April 26, 2011
So, one day, you may see me rollin’ around in a brand new Lexus IS250, the next, you may see me riding around in this thing. A 1991 Honda Accord. Pretty Swexy, no??? My parents bought this car brand new in 1991 have had it ever since. And although it’s not a LOOKER with the [...]

Mountain fun: Tubing, Puppies, Cliff Jumping…
By Jane on August 3, 2010
After being out somewhat late getting my ass beat in ping pong and pool, we had to wake up early to head to the mountains. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac have both been up early, grilling the meats and getting everything together. Of course, the rule is NO EATING until we get up there. That [...]

Mommy sacrifices warmth so the family’s buns can stay warm while watching a night soccer game.
By Jane on November 3, 2010
Since it was the last game of the season, and since the family has SOCCER FEVER, we decide to take the girls to a night game. I’m exhausted, and a cold weather hater, but I tag along anyway because this is a family affair…and it would not be complete without ME! But, being my absent minded cold weather [...]
