Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]

Cali’s weather is unpredictable where it could be hot one day and cold the next so we have to pack an assortment of everything. Winter clothes are big and take up alot of space you know. (Is it officially winter yet?)

Your Daily Benz: Newest member of the Village People???
By Jane on September 8, 2011
Dick hadn’t seen Benz in his sailor outfit so we put him in it. Look at my handsome little sailor. All tucked in so we can his beautiful shape. Except, towards the end of the day, his shirt came untucked and started to ride up above his fat tummy. I think Benz could definitely be [...]

Caught in the rain, in the convertible!
By Jane on September 23, 2010
Towards the end of summer, we were at the pool for one of our final times to enjoy it while it was still open. We were only there for about 30 minutes when the dark clouds start rolling in. Still savoring the moment, the girls and Dick were enjoying their peaches. Not sure why she [...]

We’re Cleaning HOUSE! With tenants out, it’s time to clean up!
By Jane on February 9, 2010
Although my tenant did a pretty good job cleaning, there are some things that tenants always miss. AIR FILTERS We always remind our tenants to change the filters in the house, and they could give two shits less what the air filter does. It never gets replaced. I don’t know why Dick has me even [...]

Jane: Post Partum Nester and Closet Organizer.
By Jane on June 18, 2011
Since I was just taking things in stride prior to the birth of Benz, I didn’t really get a chance to nest much. Therefore, after he came the clutter in Dick and my closets were annoying the crap out of me. Here’s a glimpse of Dick’s closet. Our house is an older house so we [...]

Spending our last day walking around uptown.
By Jane on April 23, 2011
We wanted to spend our last day in Gotham City together with the kids. Our internal clocks seem to always be a few hours off from everyone else so as it was almost lunchtime for most people, we were only ready for breakfast. So, we walk uptown to this boutique hotel that has a restaurant next [...]

My pathed walk-way leading up to my front door has been unusable since the end of summer. Remember my Fall Chrystanthamums that were so beautiful and took over the sidewalk? Well, they are no longer beautiful but instead are dry, brown and have since passed away…expired. That’s a nice way of putting it huh? Ex-pi–urd! [...]

By Jane on April 16, 2011
It seems there is something in the air…people are getting pregnant left and right. I noticed there were a TON of celebrities who are expecting this year too. It’s the year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese/Vietnamese Lunar Calendar…the luckiest of all the signs. This is also my sign. So, maybe that’s it??? Anyway, [...]

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 [...]

The Geek Squad at Best Buy has hijacked my iMac for repair of the harddrive. It’s so hard to be without my baby. Hopefully I’ll get it back today. -Jane, Mac-less

Simple and super tasty Almond Crusted Chilean Sea Bass.
By Jane on February 11, 2011
I made some Chilean Sea Bass the other day for my dad’s birthday. All I did was sprinkle salt, pepper, and my special mushroom seasoning (optional) and cooked the bass in the oven at 350F for about 30-40 minutes (or until it’s cooked). Use olive oil to coat the pan. I then added a crushed [...]

The girls find fun in a sparse playroom at the local community center.
By Jane on December 7, 2010
Usually whenever we stay at our condo, the girls are always begging me to take them to the Community Center that is also right around the corner from our condo. So one day, we walk over there so they can play in this small playroom that they have there. The playroom used to have those [...]

By Jane on January 19, 2010
The girls have been taking ballet since they were 5, taking off a year here or there. Louise was excited to start ballet again but since Thelma was crazy about ice skating, she wasn’t feelin’ ballet as much and decided not to take lessons this year. And ever Louise started up again this last fall, [...]

Before I leave LA to come back to Metropolis, the girls and I dine with Lucy and Ricky as one of our last meals together. They take us to a fantastic restaurant called Gyu-Kaku…a Japanese BBQ restaurant. If you’ve never had Japanese or Korean BBQ (practically the same thing), you are missing out! At the [...]

FREAK! Can’t wait any longer. Jane doing the yearly maintenance on my riding lawn mower HERSELF!
By Jane on April 2, 2010
I’ve been asking Dick for a couple of weeks now to do the routine maintenance on my riding lawn mower so that I can cut my grass. Similar to cars, lawn mowers require maintenance too. After waiting and waiting and waiting for Dick to do it, I decided to just SUCK IT UP, GET DIRTY [...]
