Things That Make You Go HMMMMMM - #21

I am married to the insanity that is Ted.  Ted can make me crazy in two or less seconds, depending on what his mood is.  We've had fights.  We've had times where I won't speak to him = usually my way of dealing with him until he finally convinces me to talk to him.  I've had moments where I don't know how much more I can take - it's always fleeting because of the rest of what I am going to write.  Here are all things Ted that makes me insane:

  • He can't go to a grocery store and buy one of anything.  It's always in multiples.  He just showed up a few minutes ago with four packages of marked down, cut round, just the right size for crackers turkey.  He was all excited.  It's a great deal he tells me, 89 cents, plus I found a dollar off coupon.  Really?  When are we going to eat it.  I know he will.  He'll use it for sandwiches or something.  But, for some reason, he had to buy four packages.
  • He is all nerd.  I've learned to deal with it.  I love that he is so smart and he knows pretty much everything.  Very seldom do I catch him telling me something incorrect.  But, he's definitely all nerd and when he wants to use his nerdom to "help" me, I want to beat him.  
  • He completely doesn't know how to apologize without kind of making you think it's your fault.  "I'm really sorry about that, but, you did this".  I watched him do it to Crystal just the other day.  I wanted to punch him in the face.  Sometimes just saying, "I'm sorry" is all that is necessary honey.
  • I can ask him a question, I will get the answer in the first two sentences, and then I have to listen to twenty more minutes on an explanation.  I learned very quickly to tune the rest out, because 95% of the time, I have no idea what he's talking about after that.
Why do I put up with this, you ask?  Really, it's not much to put up with.  I'm married to the most genuine and sweet man that ever lived.  And he's smart, too.  I don't think enough people appreciate and understand what an amazing man I married.  

He's an incredible romantic.  But, not in the classic sense of wine, roses, dinner and song.  He shows his romance in different ways.  He will walk up behind me and kiss me on he neck and wrap his arms around me.  He doesn't write love notes, but, he says the most amazingly romantic things - when he tells me I'm his silver lining, I know he means it.  But, the sweetest and romantic thing he does, the 12th day of every month, he will at some point in my day make sure he says, "Happy (insert number here) monthaversary".  Yesterday,  I was taking my shower at 6:30 in the morning.  He walked in, opened the shower, walked in, kissed me, said "Happy 95th monthaversary" and he turned around and walked out soaking wet.  

Who wouldn't love that kind of romance?

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...
