Our city of Metropolis does not have large Chinatowns or Asian grocery markets like the bigger cities but it’s enough for us. Dick and I recently went to get some fish. If you want a good variety of fresh fish and at great prices, I would find out where your local Asian grocery store is. [...]

Video of me painting flowers and butterflies on the walls.
By Jane on March 10, 2010
Here’s a clip of me painting some flowers and butterflies on the walls…fast forwarded 2000 times. I woke up in the middle of the night and worked until morning on this. Nighttime is the only time to work. No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh. The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working [...]

Chinatown for a late dinner with Queen Latifa and the gang.
By Jane on July 8, 2010
After I say hi to my uncle and his family and unload our things at my uncle’s house in Mississauga, I head downtown to see my aunt Queen Latifa and my cousins. First thing we do? The girls and I have only eaten the snacks we packed and some junk food along the way so [...]

Jane Rant: I hate pumping gas.
By Jane on March 4, 2011
I really hate having to stop and get gas. It’s just one of those annoying repetitive tasks! Like doing laundry! I hate standing there, doing nothing, sometimes in the cold, sometimes in the hot (cause you can’t have the car on), and waiting for my gas tank to fill. So mundane. Boring. If I were [...]

Christmas is over but it’s still nice to come home to this kind of view. Lucy and Martha have such a cozy place. I could maybe live here so long as I don’t have to drive too much. -Jane, House-sitter

Buying from local small businesses: Lemonade, Jerk Chicken, and Peaches.
By Jane on August 12, 2010
We try to BUY LOCAL more than we BUY ORGANIC. Organic is great too if it’s local and fresh but at the grocery store, if you have to choose between local and organic, go LOCAL. Surprised? Well, most of the organic produce is traveling from across the country (or world) to get to your grocery [...]

Being that my iMac is large, it is not portable when you have to fly somewhere. I’m working off Dick’s PC laptop. I hate it. I miss my iMac greatly. It is true. Once you go Mac, you never go back. I need to get a Macbook Pro. Gods! Santa! You can add that to [...]

Easy & Yummy Bruschetta with a BIG HEAD
By Jane on September 14, 2009
If you’re going to have a guest over for a light meal, consider this fresh, delicious and easy appetizer that can be surprisingly filling. There are many different ways to make bruschetta and this one is simple, tasty, and easy to prepare. I wanted to know more about bruschetta so I googled it. Apparently I’m [...]

An attempt to see Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at the New Moon Premier
By Jane on November 18, 2009
I am one of those Mommy’s that has read Twilight. I’m in the middle of the third book, Eclipse, and have been for the last 5 months. Too busy to finish it. However, I am a total 34-year fan of the series of books that all the teenagers all over the world are going ga-ga [...]

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 [...]

Enjoying the warm weather: A pier and simple park with a great lake view.
By Jane on February 23, 2010
Since the weather was around 60F and sunny, we took full advantage. Along with my parents Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac (not pictured because they’re walking laps around the track), we head with the kids and the dogs to a simple yet beautiful park and a most fabulous PIER. I love piers!

Jane: Non-fan of randomly discarded gum.
By Jane on September 8, 2010
Unbeknownst to me as I stepped leisurely out of my car, I put my foot down right on a JUICY, STICKY GLOB of GUM. Freakin’ A!!! On top of that, I drop my FREE COFFEE CARD from Starbucks right on it as well. Double FREAK! Gum is only good when you’re chewing it, otherwise, it’s [...]

Convertibles: Love them or not?
By Jane on September 21, 2010
Since it was summer, we had been looking for a convertible for the girls to enjoy. We found one and the kids (including the big one that is my husband) LOVE it! They love it so much they don’t want to sell it. It’s like a roller coaster ride for them. I’m not sure what [...]

Life is extremely busy for us these days. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad but…it is what it is and we’re rolling with the punches. There’s never a dull moment, at least not for me. The girls may disagree but, whatever, kids are always complaining about being bored. Well, today was definitely not [...]

Lucy comes over to my in-laws and we have a Boggle rematch. Remember, last time I lost because I was a little under the influence and lost by a mere 2 points. (Click HERE for that story.)

Stopping at Waffle House for Breakfast.
By Jane on November 24, 2010
We woke up early morning in order to hit the road to head to Gotham City. The girls brushed their teeth. We packed up the car and we was OUT! Along the way, we stopped for breakfast at none other than Waffle House. Don’t let our International looks fool you, we are totally Southerners at [...]

What to do with a bad watermelon? Juice it!
By Jane on July 28, 2011
You know how much I love watermelon in the summer, well, it’s always super disappointing when I get one that is mushy, powdery, pink (instead of red) and not sweet…like this one. Oh the disappointment!!! Of course, when shopping for watermelons, I always do that thumping thing that I see everyone else do…but seriously, I [...]

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 [...]
