My sister, Lucy Lu, is in town for her birthday and her boyfriend, Ricky Ricardo, is joining us as well. Lucy is my bestest friend and I love her dearly. Lucy and I have this thing where we speak in different accents all the time. Sometimes Chinese, sometimes Mexican, German, Japanese, British, Indian, [...]

Trying to avoid getting pushed off the ledge to see rooftop views of the G20 Protest.
By Jane on July 12, 2010
THE ROOF In search of some worthy protest excitement, we turn the corner and then we see a bunch of people heading up the stairs to this building nearby. My aunt doesn’t want to go but as you can see, MIA is urging her. She is successful. But once we get up there, we see [...]

Not your every day Jeep. Gun included.
By Jane on September 6, 2010
While coming out of the grocery store, I see this in the parking lot. I wonder if they get tickets for not wearing a seat belt. And what’s this? Are you sure that little tie thing is going to be sufficient? Why not just put a sign on it that says TAKE ME. -Jane. Just [...]

Going to pick up Dick at finish line of the marathon.
By Jane on April 6, 2012
After breakfast,the kids and I headed to Santa Monica to meet up with our hero, Dick. He’s still running and totally going to finish!! The girls had made signs for their daddy. Ugh, LA traffic. And it’s worse today because all the roads are closed off for the marathon and everyone is headed that way [...]

Cooling off at the downtown fountains after the run.
By Jane on May 20, 2012
After Girls on the Run, we were all so sweltering hot that we decided to take the girls to the downtown fountains, since we were close by. The girls couldn’t be more excited. Benz is not a fan of such strong water so we chill by the sidelines. Of course since we didn’t plan on [...]

Wasp problem turns into an inadvertant beheading.
By Jane on November 29, 2009
It seems like we are seeing more and more of the wasps in our house. Remember when Thelma and Louise went hunting for their nest? (Click HERE). They were unsuccessful and therefore, we still don’t know where the wasps are coming from. But, every time the girls see one, they’re frantic and ready for me [...]

Gobble Gobble. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
By Jane on November 25, 2010
I just wanted to wish everyone an extremely great Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for and I hope to try to remember that daily rather than once a year. My favorite thing about the holidays is, hands down, having the family come together. It’s all about that for me. This year, my sis [...]

Because I’m a do-it-yourself Jane and I don’t like paying for things I can do myself, I’ve learned how to do a few electrician-type things around the house. I can change electrical outlets and even install new lights and ceiling fans. Fortunately, I’ve never electrocuted myself. A plus, since I need to retain all the [...]

We’ve just left Parrot Mountain and now here we are at Wonderworks. Wonderworks calls themselves an “Amusement Park for the Mind” that offers things such as an Inversion Tunnel (My kids freaked out and refused to go thru this.), a Bubble Lab, Optical Illusion Art, a Light and Sound Zone, Disaster Simulators, and tons more!

I love going to garage sales when I can find the time. It’s true. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. To me, if I can find something I love and need cheaper than if I were to buy it new, it’s even more valuable! It just so happens that Fanny Mae’s neighbor is having [...]

The US Open tennis finals were just on with Nadal and Djokovic competing. A fantastic match. Here’s my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick chillin’ on the couch watching it. Cute! I love how my dad rests his arms on his melly belly. -Jane, Fan of Father, Son-in-Law Bonding.

I love movies where chicks kick ass. One of my all-time favorites is the Matrix. Trinity is da bomb! We just happened to watch it recently and my girls LOVED it, especially Thelma. The next day, I was surprised to see that a mini-Trinity was walking around our house.

Boursin Cheese and Mamma Mia starts off 2010 for us.
By Jane on January 1, 2010
It’s about 10:30 when we’re done eating our yummy sushi at Katsuya so we head to Lucy’s house to chill. We’re watching the countdown on CNN but I think it’s a replay of the dropping of the ball in NY’s Time Square. Whatever, it’s still almost midnight for us so we use it as our own West Coast [...]

Scammers change it up and still trying to fool landlords on Craigslist.
By Jane on March 1, 2012
I am now an expert at spotting scammers on Craigslist who respond to my rental property ads. Remember the blog I posted to warn other landlords of such schemes? (Click HERE for the article). It used to be they would post this long-ass response to my ad telling me how great they are, how flexible [...]
