Niagra Falls, Ontario

In my job, I have had the opportunity to go to some amazing places and to see some amazing things.  The last couple of years, because of my involvement in our computer system, I have been able to go to the conference that the computer company sponsors.  Their company mostly is in Canada and the US and they rotate every year where they have it.  This year, it was in Niagra Falls, Ontario, Canada.  Last year when they announced they were having this years conference there, I was melting - what a dream!!!  I never thought I would get to go again this year.  I truly do appreciate that I got this opportunity.

In Cancun on the boat
Now, a little background on my little stowaway.  Roxann, one of my very bestest friends (whom I will miss every day now that she retired), arranged to have the little guy kidnapped (not that I don't know exactly how it was done).  You see, he belongs to our interim Executive Director. Scott.  Roxann took him to Cancun with her and took pictures and posted them to facebook.
In Cancun 

Well, I decided he needed to go with us, too.  Two countries, one month - what more could a voodoo doll want??  Here are some of his adventures.
We went to Margaritaville, He had a lot of fun -
Loved the Havana Bananas
Maybe a loved them a little bit too mjuch
He went to the casino.
In the Airport on the way home
The Boss Man keeps us
supplied with Cinnamon
Jolly Ranchers - it was
very appropriate for
Voodoo to have some, too.
We went on Maid of the Mist -
Voodoo needed a poncho
and really wanted to see the falls from a barrel
 Viewing the falls
I really don't know if Voodoo really wants to go back to work.  He's been whispering to me that Phoenix sounds like a fun place to go, too.  Here are some more pictures without Voodoo:


They are glorious!!!!

The City Scape - it's beautiful!!

Our hotel cornered on Clifton Street - it was a mecca for
arcades, miniature golf, haunted houses, a was museum
And a bunch of other novelties. 
My twin - Shawna!!  Love her!!!!

Lisa and I - She is adorable!!!  Love her!!!

Don't tell anyone - she was breaking the law in this picture
SHHHHHH!!!!

Bridal Veil Falls - Look closely - you can see all
 the pathway to walk next to the falls

Can you see me??  Kids - don't try this at home!!!
On the Maid of the Mist

Lisa and Me on Maid of the Mist

Shawna is gonna be mad at me  for this
one, but I find her adorable 
And this is what I looked like when I got off -
soaked to the bone, mascara to my cheekbones - so pretty!!!
And I was literally the only person who looked like that!


Now, here are a couple of videos of what the falls look and sound like in action:

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...

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...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
