It came to me at the last minute that my cousin from Australia, MIA, needs the FULL COUNTRY EXPERIENCE before she heads on to her next destination…May-hee-Co. Yes, Mexico. Now going country line dancing isn’t exactly my usual scene but I’ve been before…albeit about 15 years ago but I’m no newbie and actually, I’ve always [...]

Ewwww Pink! Going through a tomboy phase.
By Jane on September 19, 2010
We’re going through a tomboy phase where PINK is no longer favored. These days, I often hear: “That’s too girly Mommy!” So I guess we’re into the “tough chick” mode…especially Thelma. I’m not sure I can even get them in a dress or skirt. Kids and their phases. I guess I have mine too. Whatevs, [...]

Thelma’s First Ice Skating Competition
By Jane on November 17, 2009
Thelma’s has been taking ice skating lessons for about two months now. Her coach approached her about doing a competition and Thelma was more than eager to sign up. Since it is a small, local artistic competition, and even though she just started taking lessons, Dick and I thought it would be fun and good [...]

Man, do I love watermelon. Oh, and being lazy to spit out seeds, I prefer seedless. I’m so excited that watermelon season has started! I pretty much live off watermelon in the summer. That and corn on the cob! Looks like I tried to stash one under my dress no? (Which you may recognize. [...]

Jane: Korean Tofu House and Bibimbab Newbie
By Jane on January 9, 2010
Lucy, Martha and I decide to go to Korean Town close to downtown LA to a Tofu House for lunch. I love Korean food and I’ve had Korean BBQ before but have never been to a tofu house. There are quite a few of these tofu houses in LA, especially in Korean Town but Lucy [...]
Kwik Kwote: If only money came that easy…
By Jane on November 5, 2009
“Mommy, you just have to press a button and this thing gives you money?” -My ever-so-inquisitive Louise I was at the ATM getting some cash when Louise was just amazed that this machine spit out money before her eyes just from pressing a few buttons. She probably thought she discovered a new way to get [...]

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 [...]

Jane: Shooting a commercial for HGTV Fine Living.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
As I mentioned, occassionally, Dick and I and the girls do some small-time modeling/acting on the side. It’s fun and it’s really nice to unexpectedly get a check in the mail every now and then. I get a call last week from my agent saying that HGTV would like to use me for another Fine Living [...]

SOMEONE forgot to empty their pockets before putting their clothes in the dirty pile.
By Jane on March 14, 2010
I’m doing like a thousand loads of laundry…at least that’s what it feels like. Of course I don’t bother to empty the pockets of the clothes. I expect whoever puts their stuff in the dirty pile to do that. I don’t have time to double check for these things. So, I go to retrieve all [...]

Jane: Almost a FOOL but not quite!
By Jane on April 1, 2010
Yes, my birthday is shy of April Fools by one day. Therefore, this Jane is ALMOST a fool but NOT QUITE. Except, it’s possible I am quite GULLIBLE. My cousin sent me a text this morning: “Surprisingly, I’m getting engaged with my best friend from high school around August. We will send the invitations around [...]

Tesla: The 100% Electric Sports Car
By Jane on January 3, 2010
Orlando was driving me around the other day and along the way, this sports car catches my eye. (No, my husband does not get jealous that I have male friends. Being an engineer, many of my friends are dudes.)

How to cut a Pineapple…as painful as it is.
By Jane on August 30, 2010
Occasionally, we will get a craving for pineapples. I prefer FRESH over CANNED (Healthier, no preservatives, not imported from China, no High Fructose Corn Syrup) and this is the season for it. However, cutting a fresh pineapple is a bit of a PAIN. Not too bad, but for someone like me who doesn’t usually like [...]

Benz recognizes stranger danger, gives the pouty lip.
By Jane on November 7, 2011
One day I went to Lowe’s to get a mulching kit for my lawn mower. I’ve gone there so many times for things for my lawn equipment that the gentleman who works there, Mr. John Deere, knows me and my girls. I always call ahead and make sure that Mr. John is there when I need [...]

I saw these rose petals laying around the other day and asked the girls why this rose had been taken apart. I thought there were doing it just for fun or to put in a bath or something. It was a rose from a bundle my dad had bought for my mom for Valentine’s day. [...]

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 [...]

My Big Fat Persian Family in LA
By Jane on December 13, 2009
Dick’s family just recently relocated to LA from Germany. If you’ve ever seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Dick’s family kinda reminds me of that. They are bold, not shy to speak their mind, always talking and talking loudly, always having a great time laughing and dancing, and eating.

Surprise visit on my birthday.
By Jane on April 10, 2011
I’m 36 this year. Not a major milestone. And, with me being pregnant this year, no dress-up party like last year. Remember mine and June’s joint birthday bash… Pimps N’ Ho’s? I just wasn’t feelin’ it this year and just wanted to chill with my family. My birthday started out with Dick and the girls making [...]

By Jane on December 22, 2010
As you can see, we’ve been through quite a few hairstyles. I can’t believe how much she’s grown. Almost makes me sad to see how fast time flies. I love you so much sweet thang. -Jane, Mother of Lovely Thelma.

I’ve caved in an replaced my SHITTY HTC Freestyle with an iPhone. Yes, I know I said I refused o be forced into getting a smartphone but I realized after all the many troubles that I had with the Freestyle, that I would need a smartphone…and really, the only one I think suits me is [...]
