Since I was already in my pajamas for pajama day at our homeschool co-op, I decided that I was SO COMFORTABLE that I did not want to change out of my outfit, even though I had some grocery shopping to do later that day. Yes, it’s FREAKIN’ COLD! Ok, so I did get a few [...]

By Jane on December 31, 2010
Dick brings in the platforms and we see just how well we measured them. Dick plops in the platform and it fits PERFECTLY. Thelma immediately sets up her bed.

Lucy has sent me pictures of Oscar’s new puppies! Oscar was mated with another Brussels Griffon, whereby the female’s owner wanted to have some puppies since both her dog and Oscar were similar in size. Lucy and the owner had agreed to split the pups, which originally totaled four. Impressive sperm for a one-baller, Oscar! [...]

After I say hi to my uncle and his family and unload our things at my uncle’s house in Mississauga, I head downtown to see my aunt Queen Latifa and my cousins. First thing we do? The girls and I have only eaten the snacks we packed and some junk food along the way so [...]

Vintage Jane and Lucy, Sisters.
By Jane on January 5, 2011
I came across an old picture of Lucy and me. It was taken while we were at the beach together around 1994 or so. We were going through our short-hair phase. Miss you sister! Wish I were in VN traveling with you!! -Jane, Sister to Lovely Lucy.

Taking the Benz for a ride, I mean, stroll.
By Jane on June 23, 2011
No, I’m not talking about our car, I’m talking about our son. We decided to go for a walk, while strolling our new Benz around. I had forgotten how much one must pack when you have a baby, even if it’s just for a simple walk around the neighborhood. That there black bag on the [...]

Road tripping in the conversion van.
By Jane on January 23, 2012
With our asses dragging big time due to being plagued with this stomach virus, we’re trying to pack up all the crap we need to go to Gotham City. There’s always so much stuff but now that we have the baby, there’s SO much more…and baby’s stuff is always so damn big and bulky. That’s why [...]

Pics from the new park that we were on the way to when my parents were following me. The sky was quite dramatic that day, especially since we got there around sundown. As the parents, we thought it necessary to test out the equipment to make sure it would be safe for the kids. LOL [...]

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 [...]

Impatience at the Post Office. What do you expect?
By Jane on December 18, 2010
I had to go to the post office to mail off some photos for a client. It was Friday, around 2:30pm and as you can imagine, it was JAM PACKED. The line has extended far beyond the other side of the door to actually gets you within visibility of the agents that work behind the [...]

Gourmet and natural pizza at its best!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Right after the park and right before we take Dick to the bus station, we grab dinner at one of our favorite pizza places to eat. Super yummy and completely natural if not organic. The atmosphere here is hippy-chic, artsy, mellow, and the food is AMAZING. They are known for their pizza but they also [...]

I love the lucky bamboo plants. Before it ever became such a popular home decor plant, I was enjoying it’s beauty, living in Japan. I loved my plant so much that I snuck it thru customs all the way across the world from Japan to the US ten yeas ago. That one is now dead [...]

Sushi date with our girls at a more “traditional” Japanese restaurant.
By Jane on January 17, 2012
With Benz being a baby and requiring a lot of attention, we decided the girls too need some alone time with their parents. Until Benz, it was just the four of us for the longest time so Dick and I took the girls out to dinner one Friday night and left Benz home with my [...]

A friend of mine sent me this forward and I found it amusing. Yes, it doesn’t take much to amuse me. This is a Chinese Eye Test. Can’t read it? Try pulling your eyes out to the sides, as if you were Chinese. It’s a good thing I have good vision. -Jane, 20/20 Vision Woman

Traditional Japanese Ramen in Little Tokyo.
By Jane on January 2, 2010
One of my absolute favorite meals when I used to live in Japan is the traditional, not instant, Japanese Ramen (Pronounced by the Japanese as La-men because they can’t say “r”s.). I miss this ramen SO SO MUCH that sometimes it makes me all achy inside.

2010 World Cup: Soccer is in the air around Toronto.
By Jane on July 9, 2010
If you didn’t already know, Toronto is super multi-cultural and is a mega melting pot. Some say it’s like the NY of Canada. There’s Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Greektown, etc. etc. etc. Almost everyone speaks at least two languages. Therefore, when you have something HUGE like the WORLD CUP, Toronto is well represented by [...]

We’re Cleaning HOUSE! With tenants out, it’s time to clean up!
By Jane on February 9, 2010
Although my tenant did a pretty good job cleaning, there are some things that tenants always miss. AIR FILTERS We always remind our tenants to change the filters in the house, and they could give two shits less what the air filter does. It never gets replaced. I don’t know why Dick has me even [...]

Dick gets “new” shoes. Tenant leaves behind a pair of Nike Lebron James 20-5-5.
By Jane on September 1, 2011
We always have “gifts” that the tenants leave behind and it’s usually because they don’t want to move their crap or they just don’t want it anymore. We’ve gotten a stereo, beds, furniture, pots and pans, washer and dryer, etc. While cleaning up the garage of our property, Dick found a pair of men’s tennis [...]

So, when it came down to very last swim meet, Coach decided to let the girls at least experience ONE FINAL meet.
