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 [...]

The girls enjoy the fall leaves.
By Jane on October 29, 2010
The girls are superexcited that there are enough leaves on the ground at CHEZ FANNY & FREDDIE (the grandparents) so they can make a HUGE pile and jump in it. Thelma is using some kind of rod to push the leaves together. I guess it’s working okay.

Cousin Taylor Swift’s graduation…from Middle School???
By Jane on July 22, 2010
Since my cousin Taylor Swift’s graduation from Middle School (or Junior High, depending on where you live) is happening while we’re in town, we all go to support our dear cousin. MIA, Thelma and Louise. My uncle’s wife and daughter, Ke$ha. Taylor’s Mom and oldest son, Young Jeezy. Taylor’s Dad (my uncle, Diddy), Eminem, Rhianna, [...]

Accidental texting could be dangerous. Jane falls victim!
By Jane on November 10, 2011
It’s a beautiful, sunny fall day outside where the weather is a warm 65F. It’s coffee time and I am meeting up with my girls June and Confuscia at Starbucks. Since my Dad was supposed to be home, I was going to run by and drop off Benz so they could hang out. But, when [...]

Some people are immune to cold weather. Not this Jane…
By Jane on December 16, 2010
When it’s cold like this… Where the temperature is like 11F… And who knows what it feels like with wind chill… Why the hell would you go out like this??? A tee-shirt and vest??? This is not spring! A short skirt??? This lady was doing her best not to slip and fall on her ass. [...]

Jane back in the day: Gen Xer and 80s Fashionista.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
Perez had something on his site about Then and Now, so I thought I would dig up some old pictures from my less than stellar teenage years. Being a Gen Xer, it is definitely apparent I was a product of the 80s. Could my hair be any taller??? Oh and yes, that’s a perm I’m [...]

Caffeine while pregnant…just can’t take the coffee out of this Jane.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
Yes, that’s me and the hubs at Starbucks. Bawk! Pregnant and drinking caffeine. Pregnant women just love it when you tell them they shouldn’t be drinking caffeine. What can I say, I live dangerously. It is a myth that pregnant women are to avoid caffeine completely and actually pregnant women can consume about 200mg of [...]

No sooner did we get him home did the girls start to tease their little brother. Here is Benz and Barbie… Except I think it’s not Barbie…I’m told this is a Moxie Girl. Poor thing. They already have plans to dress him up in girls clothes too. So is the life of a younger brother [...]

Man, do I love watermelon. Oh, and being lazy to spit out seeds, I prefer seedless. I’m so excited that watermelon season has started! I pretty much live off watermelon in the summer. That and corn on the cob! Looks like I tried to stash one under my dress no? (Which you may recognize. [...]

Your official SNEAK PEAK at our new Art Lounge in Gotham City.
By Jane on April 21, 2011
We haven’t officially opened our doors yet but we have been working long and hard on yet another business venture. Aside from our rental properties, we also have a couple of commercial spaces uptown. In fact, they are right around the corner and in the same building as our Studio Condo. This was strategic planning [...]

Japanese Lunch Boxes: Presentation is key. Food Art for your tummy.
By Jane on October 23, 2010
My mom sends me tons of forwards….some get read, some don’t. This one was a cute one, full of pictures of Japanese lunch boxes. The Japanese are all about PRESENTATION and it shows! But, who has the kind of time to put something like this together! They’re like pieces of art. Food Art!

What do you do when your kids ask the ultimate question: Is Santa real?
By Jane on December 1, 2009
It is the inevitable question that every parent faces at some point or another. Louise is asking me AGAIN if Santa is real. The answer? Not so easy. Do you continue with your trickery so that your child can believe in the goodness that is Santa Claus? Or tell them the truth and hope there [...]

Surprise visit on my birthday.
By Jane on April 10, 2011
I’m 36 this year. Not a major milestone. And, with me being pregnant this year, no dress-up party like last year. Remember mine and June’s joint birthday bash… Pimps N’ Ho’s? I just wasn’t feelin’ it this year and just wanted to chill with my family. My birthday started out with Dick and the girls making [...]

Salade Olivieh: Persian Chicken/Egg/Potato Salad. YUM!
By Jane on September 26, 2009
I know it’s weird to be learning how to cook Persian food from a Vietnamese woman. But, I’ve seen the Persian recipes out there, and there are NO PICTURES! So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled [...]

The Lexus is in need of new tires but I don’t want to buy brand new tires for a car I don’t plan to keep. Dick then remembers the place he would go to for tires back when I was in college….Reasonable Ron’s. Ron’s is on the “other” side of town and Dick described it as being run by a bunch of “biker dudes”.

I saw this on one of my friend’s Facebook wall and found it QUITE amusing. A woman is standing in front of a mirror, nude, staring at herself and not liking what she’s seeing one bit. Turning this way and that, she says to her husband, “I feel fat, old, ugly and saggy, and I [...]

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 [...]

Chillin’ in the car during thunderstorm.
By Jane on October 6, 2010
We happened to just pull into our driveway the other day when all of a sudden, it starts to just POUR DOWN RAIN. Since we’re into AUTUMN now, it’s already CHILLY so we decide we don’t want to get DRENCHED in the rain. Instead, we decide to just CHILL in the car until the rain [...]

Using our fire pit to make Chelo Kabob the old school way…
By Jane on March 21, 2011
This time of the year is perfect for a fire pit at night so we’ve been enjoying a warm fire in the crisp evenings. Last night, we were craving Chelo Koobideh (ground beef) Kabob, one of the staples of Persian food. The MEN decided they would use the fire pit to grill our kabobs the [...]

My New Mi Goi (Ramen). Instructions included.
By Jane on March 1, 2010
Ramen, in Vietnamese, is “Mi Goi“. And I don’t know any Vietnamese people who do not eat “Mi Goi”. If you don’t, I would have to question your true Vietnamese-hood! So, remember I decided to venture out in life and try something new? I decided to try a new ramen that no one recommended to [...]

Stomachs are hurting BIG TIME but Louise and I refuse to do #2 in public.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
After Louise’s shoot is done, we are heading home…it’s two hours remember? We had just been on the road for about half an hour when my stomach started hurting and starts to gurgle. You know the kind where you’re like “Hmmmm…not good.” It’s the kind of gurgle that one gets when THE RUNS (A.k.a. Diarhea) is [...]
