The other day, on our way somewhere (I can’t remember where. The pregnancy amnesia never seemed to go away.), Louise was hassling me for some ice skates now that she is taking lessons. Before, she hardly ever wanted to go ice skating but now that I’ve been taking the time to help her, she’s gained a [...]

When I’m trying not to pick my feet and they start to heal…they also start to itch like a mother! This is what causes one who has my disease, Dermatillomania, to pick their feet. It soothes the crazy itchiness from healing skin. Kinda the same way that scabs start to itch and peeling it… although [...]
Queen Latifa in all her GLORY. Queenie is not going to be happy with me. Thank goodness she’s not technically inclined and doesn’t navigate to my blog. Crack runs in the family. -Jane, Niece to Cracked-up Queenie.

EVERYDAY OSHO: Amatuers and Experts. Don’t be an expert. Be an amateur!
Today I may be a photographer, blogger, property investor and manager, entrepreneur…tomorrow I may want to be a hairdresser, a chef, a stylist, a gardener, or a carpenter. Who knows? Life is short. I don’t think I would want to do the same thing for the rest of my life. I have many more things [...]
Laguna Beach: No, I’m not talking about the teeny bopper show.
We recently were down in the OC…that’s short for Orange County if you don’t know or watch those teeny-bopper reality shows on MTV. We decided to head to the Laguna Beach so the kids can play. I’m so excited because I got a bunch of great shots. Enjoy!
Mommy I’m Hot, But I Want Money!!
This is our second year having a lemonade sale. Last year the girls had great success and they’ve been begging me to do another one so they could earn some more money to redecorate their room. I’m just glad they want to earn it versus stealing it. Tomorrow is the first day of school for public school here and summer is officially over! 
So, I agreed but I was not thrilled to sit in the hot, muggy sun (89F) and get eaten alive by pesky, blood thirsty mosquitos.
I contributed $9.43 to get their business going (which they gave me $6 initially), prepared the lemonade for them, and agreed to give of my time pro-bono. Thelma and Louise recruited a helper, their cousin, to assist as well.
My girls inherited their Dad’s dominant “curly-hair” gene. Well, Thelma more than Louise. Thelma’s hair has this lovely curl at the ends of her hair that makes her hair look effortlessly stylish. Super cute. I love it! The curls are even more prominent in the summer. Asians, because most of us have naturally straight hair [...]
Trying to avoid getting pushed off the ledge to see rooftop views of the G20 Protest.
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 [...]
Pregnancy Woes: Grumpy Preggar in da house.
First semester was all about the fatigue, nausea and morning sickness. However, it seems the second semester, I’ve gotten over that and have moved on to being more moody. I think it’s the hormones but I feel like I’m PMSing BIG TIME. Whereas in the first semester where I was too tired to get wound [...]
Just to give you some perspective…

Meanwhile, during that SAME amount of time that he is spending meditating and waiting for his body to be ”cleansed”…I’m CLEANsING too. THE KITCHEN, THE BATHROOM, AND THE OFFICE. And he’s STILL in the bathroom.Gives you some perspective on the DIFFERENCES between MEN and WOMEN. [...]
Trying to cool off my temper. Take the kids to a fantastic park walking distance from our house.
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 [...]
Dick: Dope seeds and baby drool.
Because we don’t subscribe to any TV at our house, we go to my parent’s any time we need to get our fill of TV. This time, it was for the Women’s World Cup…Japan vs. US! It was such an exciting game and so nice to enjoy it with my whole family of 5 sitting [...]
Girls Soccer – our new sport for the season.
After watching the World Cup, and because Dick plays in the front yard with the girls all the time, Thelma decided she wanted to play soccer this season. This is not the first time we’ve let her join. SOCCER AT 5 Back when Thelma was five, we enrolled her on the soccer team. Adorbs!! At this [...]
We’re reviewing how to make Pillsbury Mini-Brownies from the box.
I cook but I don’t bake that much. When I do, I use the pre-made or pre-mixed kind – I know, not very healthy. I decided to treat my girls to some brownies. We see a new Pillsbury brownie mix that makes mini-brownies and it comes with 2 trays! Louise is loving helping me in [...]
