After going Easter Egg hunting, we decided to take the girls to the BOARDWALK so they can ride their scooter and skateboard.

My cousin Eminem sends me a link to show what the World Cup finale did to Toronto. It rocked it! People took over the streets celebrating Spain’s victory. CLICK HERE to read the full article and see additional pics. I wish I could have been there for the finale, despite it being such a SNOOZE [...]

Family time at the park full of tangles, pedometers, and feet.
By Jane on June 11, 2010
We’re at the same park again. It’s the kids’ favorite. This time, we bring the whole family. Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac and Lucy Lu are all with us. Freddie Mac is enjoying to his iPod versus listening to Fanny Mae yammering on about how he talks too loudly when listening to his iPod and can’t [...]

We find a rodent in the shed. Opossum or Rat?
By Jane on November 8, 2010
DISCLAIMER: To start, down here, we call OPPOSSUMS just POSSUM and all future reference to this rodent will be referred to as such. I just didn’t want to confuse those who don’t know this from the onset with the title. So I was in the shed getting some trimmers for the hedges when I spotted what I thought [...]

Osho on Love: Stop looking for that PERFECT man or woman. They don’t exist!
By Jane on February 9, 2011
I’m reading another Osho book in tandem with my Everyday Osho. It’s called Being in Love. I’m already in love but I still wanted to read this book since I bought it about two years ago and haven’t gotten around to reading it. Plus, it’s not just about loving a mate but being loving in general. [...]

Jane: Victim of Forever Sharp Knife
By Jane on June 19, 2010
Around 7 years ago or so, I was DUPED into buying one of those FOREVER SHARP knives while shopping at Sam’s Club. I was minding my own business, shopping around, when I hear over the intercom… “Attention all shoppers. We will be giving away a FREE pearing knife in aisle [whatever aisle-like I remember]. Don’t miss [...]

I Hate Fucking Making the Juice!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
Recently I’ve reverted to dropping f-bombs like the old days of working in manufacturing car plants. Well, maybe not as bad as before, but I find great satisfaction in using this word to express myself. I know it’s considered vulgar and profane but it’s so FUCKING expressive. It gives just the uummph I want for emphasis!

Starbucks to change their logo and it’s UGLY. WTF?!?!?!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
So I was just browsing CNN.com and noticed that Starbucks was changing their logo. Check out the story HERE. So UGLY! I am not a fan. They need to keep the old logo. Seriously, did they use the same marketing company as the GAP? GAP got a huge backlash when they announced they were going [...]

Our favorite library, the bestest kid’s library evah!
By Jane on November 30, 2010
Alright, I know I’m jumping around in time with going to Gotham City to Thanksgiving to being pregnant but now I’d like to take us back to Gotham City. Sorry, being pregnant makes you all sorts of scatterbrained. What I love about being in the city is all the culture and arts that are offered within walking distance. Within minutes [...]

Dick locks the keys in the Caddie, while it’s still running!
By Jane on January 14, 2011
The other day we were going to the grocery store and so since it was cold, Dick decided to warm up the car for a bit first. It is always a good idea to warm up your car before you take off but especially in the winter. I’ve always hated having to wait to warm [...]

By Jane on January 24, 2011
YYYYYAAAAYYYY! Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac are finally back from their vacation Vietnam/Thailand/Japan!!! The girls are SUPER DUPER EXCITED to have their grandparents back. Every day, they would tell me how much they missed them. However, I may just be more excited than they are. You don’t know how overly joyous about this. #1 I [...]

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

Despite thunderstorm forecasts, Queen Latifa takes us fishing.
By Jane on July 14, 2010
My aunt Queen Latifa loves loves loves to go fishing. We always go fishing at least once every time I’m in Toronto. Queenie has a small ski boat that really only seats 4 but because we’re Vietnamese, we’re squeezing in 5 adults and my two kids. Yahoo! Now, in order to get to the place [...]

Damn those word confirmations that verify if you’re human!
By Jane on August 13, 2010
I just love how these days you have to type in word confirmations where you have to use Million-Dollar Man type vision to try to decipher MORPHED ILLEGIBLE WORDS so the system can identify that you are indeed HUMAN and not some computer who is generating a bunch of automatic posts or whatever it is [...]

Like brother, like sister. Watermelon improperness…some things never change.
By Jane on September 8, 2011
Looks like someone STILL has not read my post on how to PROPERLY cut a watermelon. Some things never change. For sure, this is not the method. Seriously! Time for damage control. I had to take the knife away from my dear sister-in-law before butchered this watermelon any further. Improper watermelon cutting and eating run [...]

Asian secret to strong, lush hair. Uh-huh.
By Jane on July 27, 2010
I came across this article titled: “The Asian secret to strong, lush hair.” and was intrigued. I’m Asian…what’s the secret? I didn’t realize we were holding back. Reading further, I discover what I already knew…there IS no secret! It’s GENETICS people! I have thick hair (I don’t know about luscious) and I don’t use OOKISA. [...]

Tesla: The 100% Electric Sports Car

Orlando was driving me around the other day and along the way, this sports car catches my eye. (No, my husband does not get jealous that I have male friends. Being an engineer, many of my friends are dudes.)
