We just went shopping at our local Asian grocery store and bought some fresh fish. Now to cook it up! The fancy way to say how we’re preparing this is “pan searing” the fish. Basically, we’re frying it in a pan. In Vietnamese, fried fish is called “Ca Chien” and it’s quite simple. I picked [...]

Pregnancy Rhinitis is killing me. I hate not being able to breath through my nose.
By Jane on December 17, 2010
One of the things I detest most in life is having a stuffy nose and having to breath through my mouth. I feel like I’m eating all the dust particles in the air. Since being pregnant, it’s been non-stop stuffage of the nose. After doing some research, it turns out this actually a condition and is [...]

Some pictures of Louise all dressed up like an adult. For some reason I think she looks like a school teacher. A cute one, of course. She makes me laugh so much. -Jane, Mother of Fashionable Louise.

Thelma and Louise in a Black Nissan 350Z.
By Jane on November 13, 2009
I had to take Thelma and Louise to “work” with me the other day. I had a meeting with the General Manager at one of the car auctions we go to and since there was no sitter (Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were both at work) they had to tag along. They really didn’t want [...]

Cute vomit? Thelma and Louise don’t agree.
By Jane on July 15, 2011
My little helpers are getting the full Mommy experience. They freak out every time he throws up on them. Both have had their fair share except Thelma seems to have been more prone to it. “Ewwww! He threw up on me!!” I’m like, this is nothing! It’s a little bit of sour milk. It’s nothing [...]

Trying to cool off my temper. Take the kids to a fantastic park walking distance from our house.
By Jane on June 17, 2010
After I show the house, the sun has gone down and the weather is tolerable. The girls and I decide to walk to the park. This is the only smile I’m going to be able to muster today and it’s only because I’m with the girls and Dick is not around! THE PARK Our house [...]

My favorite toothbrush. Economical and Ecological.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
It is reported that 50 million pounds of toothbrushes are dumped into landfills yearly. That’s alot of freakin’ toothbrushes. I’ve always wanted to recycle and have been just too lazy to. No more excuses and this family finally on the recycle bandwagon. In addition to recycling, I figure why not use ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY toothbrushes? Made by [...]

Jane uses the rest of the chalkboard paint on the garage door.
By Jane on April 29, 2010
Because I still have some chalkboard paint left, I decided to paint the garage door of our “multipurpose room” with it. It’s white and boring and ugly. I outline the edges with a thin brush.

No hot dog stands in LA, just fruit stands.
By Jane on February 13, 2010
When I was in LA, I never saw any hot dog stands. Instead, you see THESE alot. Cause, you know, when you’re craving a hot dog you think…oh, that’s so unhealthy. I should eat fruit instead! WRONG!!!! I don’t eat hotdogs too often but when I do… I wants me a big fat polish kielbasa [...]

Oh, my food baby (as Louise kindly calls my enlarging tummy) is getting even bigger. Yes, it’s a good holiday. However, regret has already hit. At this rate, baby will be due in spring. Sigh…Melly Belly. -Jane, Food Baby Carrier

So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S.

Besides being able to bike to one of the largest shopping strips around, we also have access to several neighborhoods that all connected and are great for biking. We take ALL the kids biking and luckily, I have enough bikes for us all. Everyone is riding their own bike except for Louise. She doesn’t feel [...]

Your daily Benz: Planking baby.
By Jane on July 22, 2011

Sorry it’s been so long since I posted anything. I’ve resided myself to not stress about blogging and to live life rather than just write about it. I try to do both but writing (and editing pictures) about it take much more time. Anyway, love my fans and faithful blog readers… -Jane, XOXO.

Back to Reasonable Ron’s. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my Harley Boys.
By Jane on May 7, 2010
We got new Lexus RX300 that I love. It’s nearly perfect except for two of it’s tires are bald and two are like new. The bald ones were in the front. And the good ones were in the rear. See the difference? This one has considerably more tread. REASONABLE RON’S USED TIRES It doesn’t make [...]

HORSE DUNG launched at police during G20 Protests. Ew!
By Jane on July 12, 2010
Great view but nothing really exciting on the roof, so us Chicas continue on. We walk a little further and see some people standing around in the distance. The owner of this orange sports car has some balls parking so close to the protests. He’s the only car in the lot. More police standing around [...]

I’ve compiled a list of typical things a scammer will tell you in their email. CRAIGSLIST RENTAL SCAM CHECKLIST: Usually, they are some kind of FOREIGNER who writes in somewhat [...]

Dick went up on our roof the other day and I was pretty jealous. You may remember I’m up here from time to time blowing the leaves off our roof. Sadly, I’m currently not allowed to go up there. Not that my off-kilter, unbalanced preggar self would dare try this right now. I can hardly [...]
