I'm Cool Awards, first edition

Everyone seems to have an award or button thingy they made on their blog... I wanna be cool too so I decided to make my own.

I created this award titled "I'm cool because... Lizzie said so" And once a month I am going to bestow it upon the person I think needs/deserves/wants it the most, or comments up the wazoo on here :)

The first recipient of this awesome award is SPOILED MOMMY! Come down and claim your prize!!


Now, there are rules to claiming this extravagant prize. Spoiled Mommy you have to pick your favorite post that you ever wrote and send me the link, I will put it on my blog for the world to see! (OK, maybe not the WHOLE world... but almost.) Send it via e-mail, or comment the link here.

I have chosen Spoiled Mommy because she has had an amazing week! Her daddy came home from serving the last year in Iraq read about that here. But she also has the most adorable kids that inspire her great photography skills on a daily basis. Go check her out!

Stay tuned for next months award winner, it could be you!

American Idol... Results & Wild Card Selections

Group 3 winners are as follows:

Jorge Nuñez
Scott MacIntyre

Lil Rounds

So who's in the Wild Card show tonight? I'm so glad you asked! Here you go:

Anoop Desai	Jasmine Murray	Jesse Langseth
Matt Giraud	Megan Joy Corkrey	Ricky Braddy
Tatiana Nicole Del Toro	Von Smith

I am SO glad they brought Anoop, Matt, Megan and Ricky back!

But should we discuss the elephant in the room? TATIANA? wwhhhhaaa??? Is it her amazing vocal range, her great clothing style, her wonderful humble ways that got her back on the show? Um, no. American Idol chose her for the Wild Card show simply because she's drama, she is ratings, she brings the people.

I can honestly say she does make it interesting. Who do you hope will make it through?

American Idol... Group 3

What a night! I really struggled to pick my favorites, so many people did good. Sorry for no pictures of the contestants this time, I am getting ready to go get my hair done and am short on time :) Here's the breakdown:

Von Smith: I love Marvin Gay songs, not sure if Von had enough "soul" to pull it off though. He sounded more like a cruise ship singer then an American Idol contestant. I liked his gray suit.

Taylor Vaifanua: She is so pretty. Unfortunately her voice was very shaky during her performance, it sounded a little weak. But WOW on those leather leggings!

Alex Wagner-Trugman: Was he wearing Van high tops? Awesome! He sang 80's Elton John, great song choice, he didn't do it very well though :( Bye-Bye Alex.

Arianna Afsar: LOVE that ABBA song! It's one of my all time favorite songs, she gets points for that. What power in her voice. She did great, I disagree with the judges completely.

Ju'not Joyner: One of my favorite guys from the auditions. I really enjoyed his version of "delilah." His voice is sensual and sweet, loved it!

Kristin McNamara: Her voice is so strong and mature. I liked her performance, One of the best so far into the night. She has a great smile too.

Nathaniel Marshall: Good Lord, is he still wearing headbands?! *ugh* I was a huge "meatloaf" fan in the 90's. I closed my eyes and listened... He sounded OK, can't complain.

Felicia Barton: Who's she? Talk about a shock, how was she not put through the first time? She did a great job, another good song choice for the evening. I loved her outfit.

Scott Macintyre: I love him. What an amazing spirit he has. I'm completely on board for Scott to go far in this compatition. He isn't the best singer, but he warms my heart watching him sing.

Kendall Beard: She absolutley reminds me of Martina McBride, good thing she sang one of her songs :) Small girl, BIG voice, sounded real good. could have taken a bigger risk though.

Jorge Nunez: Odd song choice for him. I'd rather him sing more latin songs. He is so humble and sweet. His mom was so cute, tears in her eyes and so proud.

Lil Rounds: What is her real name? I loved her dress. She has an amazing voice, she had great control through out the song. I thought she did super.

OK... So who are my top 3? WOW, this was hard this week, I liked 5 people. But, I can only choose 3 so here goes:

1. Ju'not Joyner
2. Scott Macintyre
3. Lil Rounds

(if I could pick one more it would be a toss up between Kristen McNamara & Felicia Barton)

The Scenic Tour

Off we drove (and drove, and drove, and drove...) to San Diego to meet my hubby. Well, Dana Point to be exact. It was breathtakingly beautiful this weekend! We relaxed at the beach, walked along the Harbor and ate such yummy sea food. Here are some of the "scenic" pictures I took. I am desperately looking forward to taking a photography class soon and wanted to try my hand at artistic looking pictures. I hope you all enjoy! (

Sea World pictures coming soon!! The camera battery died and guess who forgot to bring the charger? ME. So those are waiting to be developed from a crappy disposable camera I bought at a gift shop, but hey... It's better then no pictures, right?)

Hotel WiFi is crapola!

You gotta love a blackberry when the internet in the hotel is broken :) I had planned on giving American Idol results and showing you great pictures while we're away, but that'll have to wait until Monday. Small cell phone keys make it hard to type a bunch. We're all having a great time, I think all the seagulls in southern California have beenc hased by my son.

Today we are off to Sea World! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
