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 [...]

You gotta know when you hold em’.
By Jane on September 20, 2011
You know how whenever you go to the casino there are a bunch of Asians? They’re probably Vietnamese. For some reason, Viet people love to gamble. At least some of them. Well, it’s because we start them young. Haha. Just kidding. We do not gamble. I am not a fan of gambling. I can count on [...]

George Costanza was on to something when he made a bed under his desk.
By Jane on November 11, 2009
I am known to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in a matter of minutes. I have no trouble sleeping on a train, a plane, in a car, on the bus, etc. I’m not narcoleptic as my dear sister would proclaim but I have fallen asleep while talking on the phone before, mid sentence. [...]

I seriously munch, kiss, hug, squeeze, pinch, and suck on Benz’s yummy, velvety skin all day. Is that abuse? Well, I just can’t help myself. And I’m not the only one. It’s bath time, which means I get to enjoy my baby’s nooks, crannies, rolls, and lovely lady baby lumps. Benz loves bath time. He’s [...]

Lucy: Sous Chef. We’re making a Persian Chicken Spinach Dish.
By Jane on December 18, 2009
I’m hanging out with my dear sister at her place. She invited me over for dinner and would like for me to cook her some Persian food. I decide to make a Chicken Spinach dish (Aloo Esfinage only without Aloo). We’re all starving because it’s already dinner time and we’re just getting started. I declare [...]

Fall flowers for your blah day…
By Jane on October 10, 2009
There’s still some flowers around even though it’s fall. Enjoy. A SHADE OF RED. Dahlia. Still alive with blossoms. A SHADE OF GREEN. Pink Chrysanthamums. These are perrenials, which for those who lack the green thumb, means they come back every year by themselves. In fact, they multiply like mad and have taken over my [...]

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 [...]

A blue pacifier lollipop may not be manly but definitely signs of a great dad.
By Jane on December 20, 2009
Mark Anthony is a super duper guy, husband, father and brother-in-law. I liked him immediately when I met him. He’s also quite funny and silly. Here Mark is enjoying one of those pacifier lollipops…a blue one.

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Not ready to wear Maternity clothes? Get a belly band!
By Jane on January 23, 2011
I’m about five months along now and am trying to squeeze into the last bit of regular clothes that I can. Depending on the angle, and if I’ve just eaten or not, my bump isn’t that huge yet. So, in order to wear non-maternity clothes, I’m looking through my closet for shirts that fit bigger [...]

No, this Vietnamese Jane does not want to be an Engineer for the rest of her life.
By Jane on February 15, 2010
LIFE IS LIMITLESS Since leaving corporate America and not falling back on my degree and experience as an Engineer, I have found such creativity and freedom in that I’m still figuring out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Life is short. There are so many things that interest me, that I want [...]

Daddy combing baby Benz’s hair. Really???
By Jane on January 29, 2012
Dick was going to take Benz for a short walk around the block using the Baby Bjorn. Prior to leaving and being the pretty boy that he is, he stopped by the bathroom to make sure he was looking good now that he has an added accessory…our son. I then glance over and see Dick [...]

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 [...]

I sent my blog link to all my family and my lovely Mom, Fanny Mae, didn’t seem amused by it. Why? She asked me, with some hesitation, “Is it ok for you to use words like ‘fucking’… in public… like in a blog?’”. I just had to laugh, respectfully of course. My mom is [...]

No longer am I able to just get up. I now have to roll over first or have someone assist me by pushing or pulling me up. Sigh… -Jane, Roley Poley Preggar.

How NOT to hit on a pregnant woman…
By Jane on March 9, 2011
I’m minding my own business and am totally enthralled with the massive amounts of different orchids. My mom had finished looking at the orchids before me (since I was busy taking pictures) and had taken the girls to go ride on a choo-choo train that goes around the mall (Some new gimmick to get more [...]

I had introduced my girls to one of my childhood favorites. Apples with peanut butter spread on top. I remember thinking, apples…with peanut butter…really. But, it’s SOOOOO good. If you’ve never tried it, OMG, you’re missing out! My kids LOVE it! We all do. Get your protein as well as keep the doctor away! By [...]

Artsy Fartsy Self Portraits of Yours Truly

While playing with the photo settings on my iMac, I came up with these self portraits.

I’m going to start asking for your comments and feedback because I wanna know! We all wanna know! Plus, it’s just good therapy to let it all out! Don’t worry about being weird. We’re all weird and different. That’s what makes life interesting. Anyway, you can remain anonymous. Just don’t put your real name, duh! [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
