Day 15 - 15 Interesting Facts About Yourself

I don't know if there is really anything interesting about me, whatsoever.  I generally find myself bland and boring - just a normal girl with normal thoughts.  So, this one is going to be hard and will probably take me all night long to come up with.

  1. I am a worrier - I worry about the dumbest things - I worry about everyone and everything.  I have been known to wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep because I am worrying about things; an example of this and one I don't live down very well is that when Zach was about 18 months old, I started worrying about a mountain lion sneaking into the yard and stalking him while he might be outside playing in the backyard or something.  I could not go back to sleep because this became a real possibility in my brain.
  2. It has to be really, really cold for me to actually wear a coat.  Generally, I wear a jacket.  Unless, of course, I am going out on the town - then I wear my beautiful coat from Christmas.
  3. Halloween is my favorite holiday.
  4. Valentines Day is my least favorite holiday.
  5. I have a horrible habit of picking at and chewing at my cuticles. 
  6. I am the baby in my family and was 5 years younger than my brother, 10, 13 and 15 years younger than my sisters.
  7. In 36 days I will have worked at my job for thirty years.
  8. I would much rather text you than talk to you on the phone.
  9. I took my kids and stood in line for three hours to meet Bill Clinton back in 1992 when he was first running for president - we were at the front of the crowd because we waited and he shook each of their hands and talked to them - and hugged me.  To this day, when the subject comes up, I tell people how I had Bill Clinton's chest in my face.
  10. I was a Sterling Scholar my senior year in high school - in business education.
  11. I have been married three times - my first one lasted about two years (we only lived together a little over one), the second one lasted sixteen and ended in his death and now I am married to the dorkiest man in the world and I adore him - we've been married almost seven years.
  12. I have very few people I consider close friends - but, those that I do are very important people to me.  I don't let people get that close to me - and reveal very little about myself if I can get away with it.
  13. I am on four prescription medications - one for my thyroid,  one for my stomach, one for cholesterol and a muscle relaxer for my neck.
  14. I love spinach raw - I hate spinach cooked; I find it slimy.
  15. There is nothing I like better than to laugh so hard I think I am going to pee my pants and my stomach hurts.

    1. By the way - my detest of Valentine's Day comes from the fact that my birthday is the day before - hence, I have never been treated to a Valentine or such, really. It's always a birthday/Valentine mixture. So, I have just resigned to the fact that Valentine's Day doesn't matter, because nobody really wants to acknowledge it for me.

  2. I suspect that #8 is directly influenced by #7.

CoCo's Journey - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...
