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. [...]

Unless I take pictures of myself, I would never have any. Now you know why most pictures of me have one arm extended and half of my face is lopped off. Of course, Dick says it’s because my head is so big and only half of it would fit on the camera. Such the comedian [...]
Jane stalks a LOTUS ELISE. What a sweet little sports car!
By Jane on April 28, 2010
The other day I was driving home and I spot this BEAUTIFUL SPORTS CAR. I didn’t know what it was so I tried to speed up so I could get a closer look at it. It’s a LOTUS. Of course, immediately I think ESPRIT, like the one in Back to the Future. The back is [...]

Just an average day in the life of Jane and Dick.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
Our days are not like most people’s. We don’t have 9-5 jobs. We don’t send our kids to school. So, here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of Jane and Dick. Every day is different, which makes for a less boring, less monotonous life. We started our day at 11:15am this particular morning [...]

Warning visitors! If you come stay at my house, I may put you to work. I’m not opposed to child labor. LOL Anyway, Taylor loves helping. She really does! Em, on the other hand, is a bonafide ADULT. Plus, I’m right alongside them…cooking with Taylor, mowing the grass. They’re just ASSISTING! Yes, a little bit [...]

Louise Helps Grandma with the Dishes
By Jane on November 8, 2009
So we’re at the Grandparents house. I love coming here because there is always great Vietnamese food, compliments of my fantastic cooking Dad! Yes, my dad kicks ass at Vietnamese cooking. It’s the reason why I don’t cook alot of Vietnamese food at home. Since I live less than a mile away, it’s just too convenient for me to come [...]

OMG, do my eyes deceive me??? Kate Gosselin…is that you??!?!??! Where are your EIGHT kids??? While at my usual hangout, I was surprised when I thought I saw Kate Gosselin. The Kate Gosselin-Mom-Look-a-Like was a mom sporting the Kate Gosselin doo. The reality show, super-mom of two sets of multiples has reached new celebrity heights [...]

You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.

We would like to announce that little Benz will no longer be a little brother but later this year will be a big brother. Yes, you can pick up your jaw off the floor now. No we did not plan it although for me, it’s not really a big surprise. Dick could look at me [...]

Andy’s Pool Hall in Little Italy…more like a club…and co-ed bathrooms too???
By Jane on July 19, 2010
Since Little Italy is right around the corner from my aunt’s place, Eminem, MIA and I go out in search of a place to shoot pool one night. There used to be a place that I would play at all the time but that was almost 10 years ago and it’s no longer there. So, [...]

By Jane on October 14, 2009
You remember the chrysanthemums that were taking over my sidewalk? Well, I cut some of them and used them to decorate inside. Fresh flowers are the best!

Some added PIZZAZZ: More Custom wall painting
By Jane on March 11, 2010
In addition to painting the walls, I also wanted to add something “extra”. I went online and found some inspiration for the room. The flowers are just beautiful. I love the colors but decide to replicate it in a simpler form. I pencil the drawing on the wall first. This is where the bulk of [...]

If you have not met Monk, you’re about to now. Dick gave Monk to Thelma a couple of years ago for Christmas. Bought from Justice Girls, she came hugging one of those comfy matching monkey flannel blankets. Monk is sassy and is one of the most traveled Monkey stuffed animals I know because Thelma just [...]

The girls find fun in a sparse playroom at the local community center.
By Jane on December 7, 2010
Usually whenever we stay at our condo, the girls are always begging me to take them to the Community Center that is also right around the corner from our condo. So one day, we walk over there so they can play in this small playroom that they have there. The playroom used to have those [...]

She-Ra turns 25!!! I have the POWER!!!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
For those 80s babies like myself, I just came across an article about one of my favorite cartoons growing up. SHE-RA! She-ra was the female, kick-ass version of HE-MAN, who fought against evil, was a strong, intelligent female and I wanted to be her! Watching religiously daily and wanting to have the POWER, I would [...]

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 [...]

Dreams of going cross-country with the kids: Premature RV shopping.
By Jane on April 26, 2010
Believe it or not this Jane wants to buy an RV and go across the GREAT USofA with the family on an extended trip. I don’t want to wait until I’m too old to enjoy everything! I wanna do it now, while I can enjoy it with my family! And by extended, I mean more [...]

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 [...]

Your daily Benz: Pouty lips and actual tears!
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Sweet Benz is usually a happy, smiling chill baby. But sometimes, when he’s starting to get a little fussy, he does that stick-out-the-bottom lip pout. It’s the cutest thing and when you see it, you just want to give him anything his heart desires! It amazes me how babies innately know how to do this. [...]

For your Manic Monday. The Bangles!!!
By Jane on October 18, 2009
I was singing in the car the other day, showing off my vocal chords to my girls, singing “Just another Manic Monday” by the super-hot all girl band The Bangles. These girls were one of my favorite bands of the 80s. I then decide to look up the video on You Tube for the Thelma [...]
