CoCo's Corner

This post is dedicated to all the funny things Zach and Chelsea had to say while spending the night with me.  Mom and Dad had gone to a concert and so they spent the night with me.  Ted was in Colorado - so it was just the three of us: I bought them each a little something because the had kind of outgrown the toys that we have at the house: Me:  I got you each a prize. Zach:  Please DON'T let it be socks. Chelsea had been drawing a picture.  She came to show it to me.  She had made a bunch of people. Me:  Who are all of these people? Chelsea - goes through and names tell me who they are, her and me and some others:  and this one is Papa, because this one is bald. Chelsea gets into the freezer and comes out with Cool Whip - "can I eat this?  I won't eat it in your bed."  So I get her a juice bar instead, she chooses lime - and decides she is going to call it lemon.  "If I want another one, can I have another one?  If I...

I love Facebook.  It's quite the insight to a lot of things.  It brings people together.  It let's you know who the whack jobs are.  It brings you back to people you haven't seen nor heard from in a very long time - I connected with the girl who used to live next door to me - we grew up together until we were about 11 years old and then when she moved away, we really never saw each other much after that.  I've got cousins as friends, my sisters, my sister in law, friends,Teds brothers and sisters, work friends, sweepstakes friends, school friends, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, a grandson and of course my kids and their spouses!!    Let me just add here the friends I have made from gaining a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, by becoming lifelong friends with their parents. Right now, it makes me a bit insane - because the political crap that is posted CONSTANTLY just gets on my nerves.  I don't even care what side it's coming fr...

I went to the hospital to catch up with my mom today.  She had an appointment with her cardiologist and I thought she was going to be by herself.  Because I am the world's greatest worrier, I took off from work and met up with her.  I had to park forever away.  There is a bit of a hill to the entrance and I was following a woman, probably in her early 60's, that was walking kind of slow.  It didn't bother me, I just followed her.  There was a woman following me.  So - it was three women all together - 1, 2, 3.  This gentleman got to the outer door first and was trying to open it for all of us - but, he kind of got on the wrong side and was trying to open it.  The woman in front of me told him to just go ahead.  So, he went ahead and ambled to the inner door and was opening that.  She tells him to go ahead.  And he just kind of stood there and then she yells at him, a complete stranger, who was doing something out of the kindnes...
