If you have not met Monk, you’re about to now. Dick gave Monk to Thelma a couple of years ago for Christmas. Bought from Justice Girls, she came hugging one of those comfy matching monkey flannel blankets. Monk is sassy and is one of the most traveled Monkey stuffed animals I know because Thelma just [...]

Ice Skating in LA during winter in shorts and tee shirts???
By Jane on January 13, 2010
When we were in LA, Thelma was begging me to go ice skating like EVERY DAY. She missed it SO much. Around the corner from J Lo’s place was one of those small, temporary outdoor rinks they set up over the “winter” in her area. I don’t like these because usually the ice is really [...]

ODE: For Intelligent Optimists. My new favorite magazine.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
The other day, I biked out to Starbucks for some ME-TIME and was reading my book, Learning from Salmon, and my new favorite magazine…introduced to me by my dear DICK. “You’re so lucky to have me. See how I expand your mind and make you so much smarter?” Ugh. He makes it so difficult for [...]

Your Daily Osho: Retrospective Wisdom. It’s worthless! No one will listen to an insane person.
By Jane on February 1, 2011
Ohhh, this is SO hard to do…being aware when you’re at your angriest! At least it was for me. I remember the days when I would get so angry at Dick about “things” and would just lash out at him. I’d bring up everything from the past even though it wasn’t relevant, and it would [...]

We walk to Chinatown for some late eats with my Uncle Diddy: Star Athlete.
By Jane on July 21, 2010
After Eminem, MIA and I closed down Andy’s Pool Hall, we walked back to my Aunt’s place to find UNCLE DIDDY was still awake. DIDDY: THE STAR ATHLETE Back in the day, Uncle Diddy was a STAR ATHLETE in his youth and exceptionally good-looking for a Vietnamese boy. Most are short and he’s almost 6-feet…quite [...]

Adults and Crocs. Why oh why?!?!?!
By Jane on August 10, 2010
Ok, so I know that CROCS are quite popular and I can understand children wearing them. I especially like the ones made for winter with the fur inside. So comfy looking. HOWEVAH, what is up with GROWN men wearing these things??!?!?! Now, I have some GROWN MEN friends who wear these as well ( I [...]

Shopping at the market for a unique gift.
By Jane on September 22, 2010
Lucy’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her something unique. What I wanted to get her was a nice apron, since my dear sister (who never used to cook) is now cooking. (Lucy often even uses my recipes.) But, when I shopped around, I found all the aprons I looked at to [...]

My girls just don’t know how lucky they got it. Who else can have class in bed? Here they are, all snuggled in bed, in their pajamas and I’m reviewing some English basics prior to their Standardized Testing (SATs) coming up. Yes, I get them tested yearly to make sure I’m not retarding their brains. Oh and I’m [...]

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 [...]

Not one to usually hold back, I used to be one that complained all the time…or at least to the ones closest to me. I think I was at my most unhappy when I was in Detroit. The consultants we were working with at Ford were pissing me off, the telephone company was pissing me [...]

Does this give you any kind of inclination as to the state of my brains? I almost walked out the door like this. Only after a bit did I realize that something didn’t feel just quite right. Luckily I did make the necessary adjustments prior to venturing out in public. -Jane, Preggar Brained.

The kids want some new furniture…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
This nouveau furniture store is right around the corner from Lucy’s house. The kids love it but somehow, I just don’t think the style suites my house. I do love the white couch and chair that is behind Thelma.

Since the girls fell asleep while I was finishing up our Sponge Bob pumpkin, they were surprised to see that Mommy didn’t screw up the carving job. I’m glad my “customers” were happy with their order.

No hot dog stands in LA, just fruit stands.
By Jane on February 13, 2010
When I was in LA, I never saw any hot dog stands. Instead, you see THESE alot. Cause, you know, when you’re craving a hot dog you think…oh, that’s so unhealthy. I should eat fruit instead! WRONG!!!! I don’t eat hotdogs too often but when I do… I wants me a big fat polish kielbasa [...]

Here’s a Valentine’s card that Dick sent me in 1999 when I was living in Detroit. In case you can’t read Dick’s wonderful handwriting: “This is for you & Barfi (our dog). You guys are the best, especially you, only you, always only you. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Yes, he can be quite a sweetie. Hope [...]

Bold and beautiful: Thelma sports a head dress just because.
By Jane on May 7, 2010
The other day, Thelma had found a black rag that was once part of Dick’s shirt. It had just been washed. She decided she wanted to wear it. She looks just adorable!! In Muslim cultures, older girls and women are REQUIRED to wear head dresses to cover their head and hair. I think it’s awesome [...]

I lose Dick’s keys and make PROPER use of Lucy’s “Apology” note pad she gave me.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
All day I’ve been pressure washing the deck, putting away stuff in the shed, cleaning, blowing leaves off the roof of the house, planting flowers…and in between all that, I lost Dick’s keys. (Because I went to get gas for my machines and didn’t put the keys back where they belong.) RUMMAGING THROUGH TRASH SUCKS [...]
CLOSET CLEANSING: Getting rid of bad CHI and organizing the kids closet!
By Jane on November 9, 2010
It seems every couple of months, we have to go through a CLOSET CLEANSING. This time it’s for the kids’ closet. As you know, I can’t stand a chaotic mess so I make the girls clean out their closet. They’re complaining of not having enough space so we also decide to get rid of anything [...]

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 [...]
