Things That Make You Go HMMMMMM - - - - - #26

Last night, Ted and I went to the Bees baseball game.  It wasn't what we planned to do.  We talked about Bingo and I suggested a movie.  Then my BFF said that she had a couple of leftover tickets to the game and I decided to steal them from her.  It was the PMAA (Police Mutual Aid Association) night there - and it's quite the fun night to go.

Ted's re-enactment of the scene
I can honestly say - I didn't pay much attention, I was having too much fun playing with Kenzi (BFFs granddaughter) and watching people.  Saw some pretty astonishing and crazy things - because I paid more attention to that than I did anything else.

About the only time I would pay much attention would be when people would be going, "heads up" "look out" "WHOOOAAAA".   Somewhere around the middle of the game, that is the noise I heard, so I looked up and watched the ball going right over my head.  No big deal, went right over my head and to the upper deck.  I went back to what I was doing.  What I didn't see was it hit the rail or something and bounced back.  All I saw was this thing dropping from the sky in front of me.  What I also didn't see was that it literally fell right in front of me and straight into my Diet Coke.  Next thing I know, my Diet Coke was spilled all over in front of me and Ted was holding the ball.  He had snatched it out of my cup and spilled the contents all over.

I grabbed the ball out of his hand, said "I earned that ball" and handed it to Kenzi.  I figured she would enjoy it much more than me.  I waited about an hour and went and got me a new Diet Coke.  All in all - - what a great way to spend an evening.

Kenzi with the ball!!  Stole this pic from Facebook!!!  :)



Here is Ted's version of the story:

There we were. My lovely wife and I at the Salt Lake Bees home game against Las Vegas (the font on the Las Vegas uniforms is the one used for Star Trek (The Original Series)). We were seated in the lower deck on the 3rd base side when Bees Right Fielder Matt Heim steps up to bat. He swings and misses and lets go by a couple balls. Then he whacks one real good... a foul ball into the upper deck on the 3rd base side. We watch as it sails over our heads and way up in the upper deck out of sight beyond where we were sitting. Then all of a sudden here it comes flying crashing down almost right between Colleen and I landing right smack dab in the middle of her large cup of diet coke that was placed in the cup holder directly in front of her. She had not understood what had happened ... however if she had moved any bit forward in her seat she would have been beaned directly . The photo is of course a re-enactment as I had removed the ball almost immediately to force the claiming issue that it was captured and hers. Just one of those one in a million chances... maybe we need to go to Idaho and get lottery tickets or to Nevada and hit the slots...

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...
