busted

Somedays (most days lately) i feel like i use ALL of my positive energy at work.

i'm optimistic

i'm a good listener

i'm compassionate

i keep smiling

Then i come home and i'm empty. Nothing left to give. No smiles, no optimism.

i'm a grumpy, scowling pessimist who wants nothing more then to melt into the couch watching mind numbing TV. yesterday was one of these days. i think the negativity was so thick it started busting up my house.

my dryer died with a nice load of wet clothes in it.

i snapped at damon (several times).

our dvd player stopped working

i crawled into bed before the damage could get any worse.

At heart, i truly am an optimist. the dark clouds only hang around for a little while. i don't hold a grudge.

Today i am back to my sunshiny self.

HAPPY WEEKEND!!

california dreaming

For a month now Brandi has been wishing for San Francisco. Her google talk quote was " i left my heart in San Francisco," for 2 weeks. The significance ?? She changes her quote, like every day! To celebrate the posting of her very FIRST BLOG entry, this post is for her.

For our 26th birthdays (2006) we celebrated with a trip to San Francisco (thanks dad!).

We stayed right in the middle of Union Square. We ate dim sum after exploring Chinatown for 5 hours. We found a french bakery & had yummy Napoleons.

Every morning we walked to the Starbux across from our hotel. We found the Grateful Dead's crash pad at Haight & Ashbury. We celebrated St. Patty's Day. We saw the guy with the bush at Fisherman's wharf.

We took a 1/2 day winery tour thru Sonoma Valley. We find a CCR loving German in Healdsburg. We saw the GIANT Sequoias in Muir Woods. We heard bongos in Golden Gate Park. We bought large amounts of Tye dye.

We celebrated my actual bday at Les Joulins jazz club. We drank large quantities of Champane while being serenaded with "ain't no sunshine" & songs dedicated to the "birthday woman.

We stayed up until 5am. We slept until 5pm, then ate a whole pizza & cheesy fries. Then we flew home.

i love you ber ber, & can't wait to do it again!!!

Go here to take your Jung Personality Test. It rocks!!!

Marilyn, Magic and I are ESFP. We make up only 9.5% of the population.

Extroverted
Sensing
Feeling
Perceiving

"ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They love to have fun. If the ESFP has not developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to rational thought processing, they tend to become over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of their actions."

"For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the center of attention and perform for people. They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it. They would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host."

"ESFPs love people, and everybody loves an ESFP. One of their greatest gifts is their general acceptance of everyone. They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend. However, once crossed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation."

P.S.

D is an INFJ. This is the rarest of all personality types but don't worry, he is in good company too.

Apparently, Luke Skywalker is an INFJ. Not sure about Yoda.

slowest scrapper...EVER

Thought i should post this before i turn 29 in a couple months.

Used Basic Grey Sultry.

I am sure it was scraplifted from some where.

Last nite NPR had a City Music Performance. The Les Yeuxs Noirs flew all the way from France to rock for us!!!

pillow talk

NEED to hear that your the apple of his eye?

That your needed? wanted?

That all your dreams are coming true??

Pack him up & head to the swankiest jazz club around.

Listen to the live music rock your world.

Admire the romantic red walls, the sparkly crystal chandeliers.

Bask in the candle light.

Wear the perfume you wore the first nite you met.

Give him a kiss that tells him he is the only one.

Then wait.

It worked for me!!!

singles are sad

Welcome Home USB!!!

I knew you would arrive just as soon as your replacement was debited out of my account.

You were supposed to bring sock matches with you.

what happened?

Instead you came with these.

ALL SINGLES!

How is this even possible?

Just keep Swimming

i am a TRUE Pisces.

if something is wrong in the world, it affects me deeply. i take it to heart and have extreme feelings regarding the matter.

a Pisces swims BELOW the surface avoiding the harshness of the world.

going with the current, never creating a wave.

we create our own world filled ONLY with happy thoughts.

Fluffy,

Beautiful.

NOT necessarily realistic.

that being said, politics scare me.

if i pay attention, my neck & shoulders get tight.

if i talk about them i get grumpy.

through out the election i felt my ulcer burning.

today my horoscope yelled at me.

it said, Pisces lady, TODAY is not the day to bury your head in the sand.

so i listened.

i watched the inaugural speech. i was part of a fantastic historical moment.

if only for the sake of my babies, who may one day ask where i was when Barack Obama became the 44th President.

lost in space

dearest blog (& usb cable),

over the past few days there have been SO many things i wanted to share with you.
BUT i have misplaced my USB cable..i HATE posting with no photos.

really i should have adapted to losing things
as i sit here in my mismatched socks
but the truth is, it seems to be getting worse.
i remember picking up said cable thinking,
i need to put you where i won't lose you anymore
that was 2 weeks ago.

another important item lost in space.

well usb cable, if you see my FAVORITE white tank top from express
or the match to EITHER of the socks i'm wearing

please tell them to come home soon

HAPPY WEEKEND

portkey

IMAGINE..

i'm eating my delicious HaagenDaaz Save the Honey Bees yogurt when suddenly..

as i lift the spoon to my mouth I realize, the yogurt is a portkey..

i'm magically (wizardly) transported here..

since damon & I were holding hands while i ate the yogurt...

he is here too.

no more client's families wanting to meet at 6pm.

no more lawyer POA's demanding to know why we need a security deposit

no more snow making my employees not go to work.

no more bad guys to chase..

only us.

there.

i heart Portkeys!!!!!

hungry?

Made a Whole Foods run this weekend.

This yogurt is the BOMB! Plus it helps save the Honey Bees.

Avocados to make fresh guacamole. YUM

Butternut squash & goat cheese for pizza.

Best two-Bite chocolate Brownies EVER! They taste Like Fudge.

Last nite i made this Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry. It was tasty. Next time i am replacing the chicken with tofu (don't tell damon!). Anyone have any recipes that use rice wine vinegar? I bought a whole bottle & only used 1tsp:)

i wanna get my kicks

Dear King,

Yesterday was your birthday.

i forgot.

Sorry.

To celebrate i'm drinking a diet rootbeer.

It's delicious.

graceland still has the shag carpet you installed.

And the mirrors on the ceiling.

what are those for?

i miss you.

love,

lizbon

a billion

reasons to love him

18. Even when i am the grumpiest girl in the world you take me on a date.
You buy me a Mango margarita.
You offer to let me eat the peanut butter frosting off the top of you $7 piece cheesecake.

19. You DVRd (is that a verb?) the 2 hour season premier of the Bachelor for me.....YIPPEE (even after informing me that your DVR may be to MANLY to record it..ha)

Doodles

Seriously, he is the cutest. I want ANOTHER.

Even though he puked on my carpet today.

Too Many

Drinks that is. Lala & Jimmy took me out for a hot nite on the town. Combine best friends, stiletto heels, many drinks, Sexy Back, & what do you get? Stumbling (me down the steps to be exact), strange self-portraits on the camera, laughing, pole dancing, spinning heads & much more.

Now i'm home starving. All I can find in my fridge are cheese crumbles. Goat, gorgonzola & bleu. No eggs to make a cheesy omlette or salad to sprinkle with cheese.

Just the crumbles. I choose bleu. YUM

Devil Brownies

Today, Shaggy ran a mile on the treadmill at daycare.

Now, he is passed out in a doggy coma with all four feet in the air.

I thought about running on the tread mill then ate a Very Chocolate Brownie from Panera.

I lost all desire to run on the treadmill.

Devil brownies..

Resolve

To stay in this moment,
Here, Now.

To remember, often we stand in our own sunshine casting a shadow.
Step aside & breathe it all in.
