It’s been a month that we’ve been in LA. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself. It’s the first time EVER that I’ve never spent Christmas with my parents but it’s also the first time EVER that I’ve spent Christmas in such warm, lovely weather. Los Angeles is crazy but I really will miss their weather. I had [...]

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 [...]

Pregnancy Craving for TCBY causes Jane to nearly open a can of WHOOP ASS on Dick.
By Jane on March 22, 2011
I was out running errands with Dick the other day when I spot a TCBY. What joy! I’m ECSTATIC because the one by my house has closed down since the sprouting of newer, trendier frozen yogurt shops like Menchi’s. Menchi’s is okay but this Jane loves me some TCBY and prefers it. Guess that’s why [...]
Lucy convinces us to go for cupcakes rather than TCBY.
By Jane on May 3, 2011
We were planning on heading to TCBY for my frozen yogurt fix but Lucy wanted to try this new cupcake place while she was in town visiting us again. You know how she is obsessed with cakes (lugging Louise’s birthday cake all the way from LA) and cupcakes these days. Of course, with shows like [...]

Maybe I should get one of these…
By Jane on December 2, 2009
Saw this the other day. I always wonder why people get personalized tags. Must be an ego thing. Anyway, I can relate to this one. -Jane, Lover of Starbucks

My hydrangeas, before the storm.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
I love hydrangeas. They are so beautiful. Here are some shots of my hydrangeas before we had that crazy hale storm. My mom, who is an avid gardener, gave these to me when they were just wee little things. Now they’ve gotten quite large and make my yard look so whimsical. She tells me you can [...]

Every once in a while, I like to go to the auction to check out the cars. Dick usually does it but I like to see what’s there and test drive them. I thought that Eminem, being a young man, would enjoy seeing all the different cars. He did. AUDI When we check out cars, [...]

Jane: Korean Tofu House and Bibimbab Newbie
By Jane on January 9, 2010
Lucy, Martha and I decide to go to Korean Town close to downtown LA to a Tofu House for lunch. I love Korean food and I’ve had Korean BBQ before but have never been to a tofu house. There are quite a few of these tofu houses in LA, especially in Korean Town but Lucy [...]
Easiest Way to Eat a Pomegranate
By Jane on December 23, 2009
The pomegranate is a fruit native to the Persian region. Known as the apple of Grenada, the pomegranate is high in fiber and is recently known as a super heathy fruit. Drinking pomegranate juice is quite popular and can assist with high blood pressure, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and prevention of the common cold.

My kids have a few jokes to tell.
By Jane on October 1, 2010
Thelma is often telling us jokes that she made up herself. Most times, we have to think about it for a second and then still, she’ll have to explain it to us. Leaving us thinking…hmmmmm. However, it’s usually funny to us because well, (1) we’re her parents and (2) just the innocence of her train [...]

Dick tries to blame me for a flat tire we got. Unbelievable!

Thelma’s girls volleyball league was invited to go watch a collegiate – level ladies volleyball game and have the team members give them a clinic afterwards. So, our team decided to go. We were on our way when all of a sudden, something sounded funny. Then Dick says, “Oh, crap, I forgot about the nail [...]

Strawberry-Banana Smoothies: by Thelma & Louise
By Jane on September 17, 2009
Thelma and Louise love drinking smoothies. This is because Dick makes it for them all the time….some kind of concoction of mushed banana and soymilk. Smoothies and shakes aren’t really my thing but every once in a blue moon maybe. In the mornings, I’m thankful that the girls are self-serving and are able to [...]

Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock. Super Sexy.
By Jane on December 19, 2009
A bus in LA pulled up next to me and oh what a happy surprise that was…a lovely ad for Robert Downey Jr.’s new movie, Sherlock Holmes. Um…cam we say YUMMY! He has a tinge of Hugh Jackman in this picture.

Yum yum Dim Sum. I’m craving Chinese Brunch.

JANE AND LUCY LOVE FOOD Ok, so I noticed that alot of my posts are regarding food. Yes, this Jane and Lucy love food and we love to eat. Please refrain from any comments, Dick. Dick is somewhere laughing saying, “Yeah they do!”. Whatever! However, I think Lucy loves food even more than I do. [...]

If you’ve ever seen a watering can in the bathroom of a Persian person and were confused why you didn’t see any plants laying around, this will help explain it for you. In America, the BIDET…the secondary toilet looking thing that sprays water at your butt…is pretty much non-existent. It [...]

Thelma helps me with Breakfast: Grits and omelet eggs with sausage.
By Jane on November 6, 2009
I’m a Vietnamese country bumpkin at heart. I know, weird huh? Thelma wants to help me with breakfast and we’re having grits with our special version of omelet with sausage. GRITS If you don’t know what grits are, you’re missing out! (Click HERE to see what Wiki can tell you about it.) A popular dish [...]

I saw this beautiful Vintage Motorcyle while walking around Queenie’s neighborhood. It just looked PICTURE PERFECT sitting on this old front porch. I don’t know what kind this is but I love the RETRO look of it. Is that a couch cushion being used as a seat though? Although I love it, I just love [...]

Fashion Smashion: Fall Layers, Fuzzy Boots, and Safety Pins?
By Jane on October 6, 2009
Fanny Mae bought Thelma this super-cute sweater with white blouse underneath. Fall is all about layers. Thelma was so excited that it was cool enough to wear her new shirt on this day and pairs it nicely with some jeans. Fuzzy boots complimented with a super urban and chic messenger bag and you’re ready to [...]

Did that Truck just run over a bunch of chickens?? No, it’s just FUZZY/FURRY trim. WTF???
By Jane on April 20, 2010
I was at the gas station getting gas when an SUV pulls up. I thought for a minute my lasered eyes were failing me because the car looked kinda BLURRY DIRTY but when I finally confirmed that indeed my vision was PERFECT, I realized that the truck was not dirty but FUZZY WUZZY. WTF are [...]
