I had this idea to let my Mom’s new Pekingese (Yuki) mate with Oscar because I thought they would make cute babies. Lucy is up for it but reminds me that it might be difficult since Oscar only has one ball. Yes, one ball. No matter, we’re going to give it a try. Apparently though, [...]

So my dear husband ingeniously decided to WASH my Beloved Buddha’s Boa. NOOOOOOO!!!!! WHY, OH WHY, WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING???!?!?!?!? And why would you even think that you could wash anything that has feathers? Innocently, he replied… “It was dirty!” Now it looks like wet dog / ratty fur! Buddha’s still happy but I’m [...]

Thelma and Louise love to pretend to own a restaurant and have the adults be the customers. We’re at Fanny Mae’s house and Thelma and Louise have invited me to come to their restaurant. As the chefs for this restaurant, food sanitation and cleanliness is of UTMOST importance to them so Thelma and Louise are [...]

I lose Dick’s keys and make PROPER use of Lucy’s “Apology” note pad she gave me.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
All day I’ve been pressure washing the deck, putting away stuff in the shed, cleaning, blowing leaves off the roof of the house, planting flowers…and in between all that, I lost Dick’s keys. (Because I went to get gas for my machines and didn’t put the keys back where they belong.) RUMMAGING THROUGH TRASH SUCKS [...]

You can even find bags of whole pod edamame in the frozen vegetable section at WAL-MART so no excuses if you [...]

Silly Bandz: The new friendship bracelet? Let’s go back to the old days.
By Jane on October 14, 2010
When I was in middle school, making friendship bracelets were all the rage and I was the queen of making string bracelets. No really. I was. I would spend hours upon hours knotting these colorful bracelets, all the while trying to come up with new patterns and styles to impress the kids at school. I [...]

We walk to Chinatown for some late eats with my Uncle Diddy: Star Athlete.
By Jane on July 21, 2010
After Eminem, MIA and I closed down Andy’s Pool Hall, we walked back to my Aunt’s place to find UNCLE DIDDY was still awake. DIDDY: THE STAR ATHLETE Back in the day, Uncle Diddy was a STAR ATHLETE in his youth and exceptionally good-looking for a Vietnamese boy. Most are short and he’s almost 6-feet…quite [...]

Middle man down! Injury on the job by a machete-potato peeler.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
There are certain hazards that come with the job. It’s just goes with the territory. Today, I sliced off a chunk of my skin peeling potatoes. It’s just the risk one takes when one is feeding one’s family. You don’t even think about it. You just do it. Yet another hazard in the throws of [...]

Spending our last day walking around uptown.
By Jane on April 23, 2011
We wanted to spend our last day in Gotham City together with the kids. Our internal clocks seem to always be a few hours off from everyone else so as it was almost lunchtime for most people, we were only ready for breakfast. So, we walk uptown to this boutique hotel that has a restaurant next [...]

Bike trailer still holding up.
By Jane on September 30, 2010
We bought this bike trailer for the girls when they were like 2-3 years old. Here Dick is showing off that he can bike with NO HANDS, rubbing it in because I can’t. I am only proficient enough that I can now let go of one hand. But, even at ages 7 and 8, the [...]

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 [...]

Simple and super tasty Almond Crusted Chilean Sea Bass.
By Jane on February 11, 2011
I made some Chilean Sea Bass the other day for my dad’s birthday. All I did was sprinkle salt, pepper, and my special mushroom seasoning (optional) and cooked the bass in the oven at 350F for about 30-40 minutes (or until it’s cooked). Use olive oil to coat the pan. I then added a crushed [...]

Queen Latifa brings down Eminem and Taylor to visit me for about a week and a half. She drops them off and then heads to go visit some friends in Louisiana and plans on coming back after 4-5 days. I’m so excited to have them here!! June tells me that my house is pretty much [...]

Inspiration of the day: From Hardship comes growth.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
Cold and hunger are the forces that produce warmth and fullness. From poverty we can become rich. Sickness spurs our search for health. Health or wealth by birth is not ours – it is our parent’s gift to us. As such, it will disappear sooner or later. You must be the creator of your own [...]

Here’s a Valentine’s card that Dick sent me in 1999 when I was living in Detroit. In case you can’t read Dick’s wonderful handwriting: “This is for you & Barfi (our dog). You guys are the best, especially you, only you, always only you. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Yes, he can be quite a sweetie. Hope [...]

Paint da fence. Up, down, up, down.
By Jane on April 30, 2010
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, [...]

Front yard maintenance: Wacking the bushes.
By Jane on February 19, 2011
Pregnancy really hasn’t slowed me down much. I’ve been meaning to trim my bushes for a while but the weather hasn’t been very accomodating, until now. They’re totally overgrown and need a HAIRCUT bad!! You can’t even hardly see our house. What to use to trim these suckers? (You may be wondering why I dress [...]
