Poor Strawberry Shortcake

While on maternity leave I found myself feeding a hungry baby for hours, at all hours. This leaves you stuck not able to move around for hours, at all hours. Suddenly having something to watch becomes seriously important if for nothing but to keep you awake so you don't drop the baby!.  

With Mia I watched the entire Prison Break series!!  Just searching the images on Google makes me want to watch Season 1 & 2 (seasons 3-4 meh).  With Wesley I discovered Criminal Minds & I am totally addicted!!!  I'm even plotting how I can become Baby Girl of the day on Shemar's FB page. hahahahaha

I usually watch w the subtitles on & the volume turned super low.  Based on this pic Mia colored  i may need to start watching the Brady Bunch re-runs instead.. LOL

My Tiny BFF

When Mia was tiny (6 months & younger), I was terrified of her. All she did was scream for hours & hours & hours. We tip toed around on egg shells for months. I would hiss at Damon in my most menacing whisper, "Don't make eye contact," in fear of stimulating her into another hysterical crying fit.  I longed for her to grow, communicate & be a pleasure to be near.

Not only has she grown into the smartest, sweetest little one, she now has a sense of humor!!! Over the past few weeks she is starting to understand funny. She gets jokes, loves to make funny dances & wants to be silly.  She has the most contagious cackle.  She loved playing w Photobooth & we cracked up at our beautiful portraits!!!!  Mia, my sweet girl, there is nothing I love more then spending time with you!!!!!

26 Weeks

At 26 weeks I've realized both (holy $%#!, I have 2 babies!!) of my children have alter egos. Mimi is currently  channeling Stewie Griffin while the tiny man hopes to be the next Daniel Larusso. He especially enjoys his practice sessions between 3am-6am!!!! Together they are quite the team. If you see me & ignore the bags under my eyes....

Huge!!!

At 19 months she is speaking sentences. This is not always a good thing. Yesterday she was ALL about Mama, no one else would do!!!  We shopped , danced, read books, watched Barney, did laundry, listened to records & snuggled!!  Then out of the blue she says, "Mama tummy, brother HUGE!!!" Haha Thanks baby, mama appreciates that. Now I'm off to punch whoever taught her the word huge, which she's been shouting all day.....

True Dat

Although my husband might change kids to Lizbon...hehe

Useless Lizbon Trivia

I use the word Flooglebinder pretty much on a weekly basis.....

I used to think the Genesis song Invisible Touch was actually "She seems to have a Physical Top Shape, she reaches in and that's 140 OHHHHHH." I thought it was a song about working out!!!

I ALWAYS read the last page of a book first. I can't stand not knowing what's going to happen!

Double Rainbows

Recently, (like this weekend) really cool things have been happening to me. Unusual, out of the blue moments that make me think FULL ON GOOD things are on the way.

Like Friday at work, I walked up to an assisted living community and found a wad of cash on the ground. 3 tens and 2 ones! That never happens. Of course, I gave the money to the nuns who run the place, BUT I WAS STILL EXCITED. It was even Friday the 13th!

Then today I was fixing an egg sandwich. I pulled the egg from the cartoon and thought to myself this is the biggest egg I've ever felt. i pulled another one out to see if Meijer organic eggs are just monster, but that egg was normal. I warmed my skillet, cracked monster egg and guess what? DOUBLE YOLK!!!! It was TOTALLY a DOUBLE RAINBOW moment.

WHY I HATE AUTO TEXT

An Essay by Lizbonj

While Damon was at work yesterday, I went shopping at Wal-Mart (AKA Wally World)..
He sent a text requesting cheerios, but I didn't get it until I was already in the checkout line.
Then he sent a text that said "How is Wally World?"

My response via auto text....

Crazy Dreams

Last night I had two AMAZING dreams. I'm thinking it was the double stuffed oreos before bed.

First, i was at an Enrique Iglesias concert. He sang all five of his songs. My FAV!!! hehe! I've always had a thing for him.

Then I dreamt I was Baby in Dirty Dancing. Patrick Swayze danced me all around. It was AWESOME!!!!!! I even carried a watermelon. I carried a watermelon?? Time for an eighties movie marathon!

Any Thoughts?

Adios

I got my hair done for vacation..What do you think? i think i look like a Garbage Pail Kid! What should my name be? Lock Jaw Lizzy? Be back soon with lots of pics!!!!!

Intervention?

I think this could be the sign of an addict!!!!

Fresh

Brandi got me a new air freshner for my car. It says " Police are my favorite people". The scent? Fresh baked donuts!!!

Want one? http://www.fridgedoor.com/blqairfr.html

ace

did you know i am marrying a pet detective (sort of) ??? EVERYWHERE we go damon spots wildlife that i would otherwise not see. It's not like he is scanning for them either. We will be driving along and he will casually point to a slow, camouflaged turtle, moseying along. I can remember him pointing out eagles, snakes, fish, rabbits, deer, turtles, ground hogs, and a morning dove. He spots a new animal everyday.

i think lizbon j ventura has a nice ring to it!! Finkel & Einhorn Finkel & Einhorn Finkel IS Einhorn!!!!!

blackberry hell

Once upon a time i had an excellent phone. It was a super duper extra durable flip phone fondly nicknamed "the tank". The tank even came with a carribiner clip in case i ever decided to climb mount everest. After two years of being dropped incessantly the tank died. i replaced the tank with a blackberry pearl only to discover, tank is NOT replaceable.

Today's post was supposed to be a really cool email i received from Marleen of Simply Healthful about the pros & cons of choosing a multi-vitamins. Unfortunately, the evil pearl deleted that email. Then last Friday the pearl jumped into the toilet. 5 visits to Verizon & 2 more blackberry pearls later, i miss my tank.

Here i am in Blackberry Hell with a giant coldsore brewing......

Pet Predictor

Damon, knowing my zodiac obsession sent me THIS article. He thinks my pet match is HILARIOUS.

According to my sign, "Pisceans are often looking to escape the daily grind of life with a magical and captivating experience. Tropical, colorful fish in a scenic aquarium are the pets to provide Pisces with such an encounter. Tropical fish come in an assortment of bizarre shapes and colors that are sure to enchant the treasured space of a Pisces. The bubbling water, luminous colors, and swimming fish all combine to give a Pisces a wonderful getaway within the home."

According to HIS sign, "Virgos, who are very clean and often picky perfectionists, demand the best. The Bernese Mountain Dog satisfies all of a Virgo's high standards. These dogs are remarkably clean and are bred to be friendly and obedient servants. They are very easy to train and want to please as much as possible. This dog will gladly accompany a Virgo who donates time and services to a worthy cause and happily pitch in. Virgos will love working side-by-side with these diligent, loving dogs."

Do you think they could play???

polar opposites

So my sweetie let me turn couch commando tonite. I immediately turned it to Dancing with the Stars. For the next two hours it was a sea of sparkly sequins, candy colored eye shadow, twists, bounces, kicks, and oh soooo many more girly pleasures. During commercial breaks i tried to practice my tango with damon but shag kept trying to bite my butt.

With only a few minutes left, a DVR notice popped up... If you do not change the channel now AX MEN will not tape. Ax Men??? Holy Epiphany!!! From tiny, bubbly, blue eye- shawdowed Shawn Johnson to Ax Men?

celebrity look-a-likes
