Ramen, in Vietnamese, is “Mi Goi“. And I don’t know any Vietnamese people who do not eat “Mi Goi”. If you don’t, I would have to question your true Vietnamese-hood! So, remember I decided to venture out in life and try something new? I decided to try a new ramen that no one recommended to [...]

By Jane on December 30, 2010
After nearly waiting two weeks in high anticipation of having their own NEW beds, we are finally ready to start the assembly process. We start with one bed and take out all the pieces.

Sade’s New Video: Babyfather. Just the nostalgia I was talking about!
By Jane on May 6, 2010
Yet another great video introduced by my beloved Perez. It’s SADE’S new video for her latest release, Babyfather. The song is SPECTACULAR!

Our first snow this year! It WAS a Winter Wonderland in Metropolis!
By Jane on December 5, 2009
Thankfully, Thelma and Louise got to see some snow today. They were starting to think it didn’t exist. Metropolis doesn’t snow often but it used to. Growing up, I remember the snow coming up to my knees…albeit, my knees were closer to the ground then. Still, we got snow and it was always SUPER exciting [...]

As I said, while we were working, the girls were playing. Thelma especially loves to swing really high and then jump off. Louise, not so much. She is much more cautious. -Jane, Mother to Swinging/Jumping Girls.

The Chalk Guy: Julian Beever and his AMAZING pavement drawings.
By Jane on November 12, 2009
I just got a forward from Dick’s cousin. He’s a dentist who has a lot of time to send a bunch of email forwards to us. LOL (J.K. We love you!) I never read any long forwards. I am A.D.D. and like I said, wordy stuff with no pictures will NOT capture my attention. Short, [...]

By Jane on January 2, 2012
Alright, so I’m going out of order but here are some pictures of our Christmas last week. For me, the best part of Christmas is not about the presents but having family get together. I’m excited to have my family together since last year my parents, sister, and aunt all left me to go to [...]

Your daily Benz: Grandma knits Benz a blankie.
By Jane on June 24, 2011
My mom has been knitting a blanket for Benz. It’s super nice so I wanted to take some pictures of him with it while he’s still tiny, even though she wasn’t quite done with it. Little man has no eyebrows. This concerns Dick but I’m like, he’s Persian! I don’t think hair is one of [...]

Mean Mommie makes Louise cry while practicing piano.
By Jane on November 16, 2010
Thelma and Louise have started up piano lessons again. They have been taking lessons since they were 5-6 years old but hardly ever practice. And because we have so many things going on and a million other lessons, I haven’t enforced the practicing. However, I remember being a little more self motivated when I was a [...]

Aston Martin Rapide: Talk about a sport sedan.
By Jane on April 22, 2012

But, as we kept walking and took a closer look, we realized that it was a sedan called the Rapide! Just absolutely gorgeous!
