Nighttime is the only time to work. No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh. The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working [...]

I hate eye poo. By eye-poo, I’m talking about that crusty shit that makes your eyes stick together. What is the formal word for it? I know it in Vietnamese but not in English. I’m sure my doctor friends can tell me. Anyway, poor Benz got “an eye-full” over the holidays. He had a cold [...]

By Jane on September 11, 2009
Loobia (green bean) Polow (rice) is a SUPER-yummy Persian dish that combines fragrant Basmati rice with a green bean tomato stew infused with lots of great taste and flavor. I learned how to cook Persian food from my lovely Mother-in-Law. She is infamous in her family for being a fantastic cook and so to keep it [...]

Every woman secretly wants some of these…

WARNING!!! IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY SEXINESS, DO NOT CONTINUE FURTHER. WARNING!!! NOT APPROPRIATE TO OPEN AT WORK!!! My sister Lucy has been wanting to do a photo shoot and when she was in town for Thanksgiving, we decided to do it. Like most women (and some men even), occasionally one needs a boost to [...]

My favorite toothbrush. Economical and Ecological.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
It is reported that 50 million pounds of toothbrushes are dumped into landfills yearly. That’s alot of freakin’ toothbrushes. I’ve always wanted to recycle and have been just too lazy to. No more excuses and this family finally on the recycle bandwagon. In addition to recycling, I figure why not use ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY toothbrushes? Made by [...]

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 [...]

We’re off to the pool to go winter swimming.
By Jane on January 5, 2010
It’s winter in LA and the weather fluctuates constantly. Even if it’s in the mid-60s or 70s, if you’re in the shade, it’s still kinda chilly. No, I’m not complaining…just sayin’. Today was a warm day, high 60s, and the kids are dying to go swimming. The pool is heated so I let them but this [...]

One of my favorite cars is the Porsche 911, especially the older model ones. I came across one yesterday…a beautiful, silver, newer model, but with some of my personal touches. Green is one of my favorite colors so I think Porsche should consider this lovely shade of green…let’s call it “Green with Envy”. It would [...]

Making use of old clothes. My new/old wardrobe.
By Jane on January 21, 2010
Remember I said I was going to try to use more of my clothes that are collecting dust? I’m trying to use something different daily that I haven’t worn in a long time. This takes alot more time getting ready as I have to be creative putting an outfit together, but it’s loads of fun [...]

I’m not sure if I told you guys this, but added to my list of “skillz” is eyebrow plucker. I tweeze my brows cause I don’t have enough to wax. Neither does my sister Lucy. This last time when Lucy was in town visiting me, I mentioned, as I often need to: “Ummmm, ju brows [...]

As I mentioned, occassionally, Dick and I and the girls do some small-time modeling/acting on the side. It’s fun and it’s really nice to unexpectedly get a check in the mail every now and then. I get a call last week from my agent saying that HGTV would like to use me for another Fine Living [...]

Unless I take pictures of myself, I would never have any. Now you know why most pictures of me have one arm extended and half of my face is lopped off. Of course, Dick says it’s because my head is so big and only half of it would fit on the camera. Such the comedian [...]
