Day 11 -- Put Your IPOD on Shuffle and List the Ten Songs that Come Up First

I was really excited about this challenge.  A couple of weeks ago, when KayeLynn was home, she needed to find something from her "baby box".  When they were little, I got boxes to put in anything of memorial significance in.  Like their hospital bracelets from when they were born, report cards - - stuff like that.  Each of my kids have one and they are all still at my house.  Well, her box was under the stairs - and we had to dig it out.  Ted insisted the only stuff under the stairs was KayeLynn's stuff - but, low and behold, there was a bunch of other stuff.  Including all the Disney and other kids VHS movies, a bunch of Ted's movies and a whole lot of CD's.  So we went through the CD's and I took out what I wanted and ripped them to my IPOD.  It's kind of funny the different phases the CD's represented.  So - here goes my list of songs:


1 - A Boy Named Sue - - Johnny Cash  (went through a big Johnny Cash phase after Walk the Line with Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix).

2 - Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - - Elton John (I have always adored Elton - - I wanted to marry him when I was a tween - -still love his music)

3 - Let Me Be There - Olivia Newton John (another childhood adoration)

4 - Have a Little Faith in Me - Jewel from the Phenomenon soundtrack (love the song)

5 - Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac (first 45 I ever bought!!  I am sorry if you are so young you have no clue what I am talking about)

6 - You Wouldn't Know Love - Cher (I didn't even know I owned this CD until I went through them.  Couldn't remember buying it)

7 - Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend - Rhianna (lovin' me some Rhianna - - don't let the basatads get ya down)

8 - Folsom Prison Blues - Joaquin Phoenix from the Walk the Line soundtrack

9 - Rock This Country - Shania Twain (went through a BIG country music phase.  This was actually Crystal's CD I think - - I just ended up with it in my box of CD's)

10 - Scarborough Fair - Simon and Garfunkel (from my growin' up years - my sister had their Greatest Hits album and I used to listen to it all the time  - so I bought the CD when I was an old lady).

    Those are some good ones. Although I'm not so sure about Olivia Newton John. I love Jhonny Cash Though.

      Olivia Newton John is from my tween years. She was HOT back then, beaucoup HOT!! And, I found Cher a bit odd, too. But she has some great tunes for when you're working out.

CoCo's Journey - Answers!! Finally!!!

 Today I finally got answers!!!  I do not have Cirrhosis!!!  I am Pre-Cirrhotic.  Very close to that precipice but still not falling over the edge and falling into a place that I cannot get out of.  I had seen my gastric bypass doctor a while ago - and was given the wrong information.  I think he was looking at the headline and had not read the story.  It's something I'm good at, too.   My doctor explained that when I was overweight, the fat in my body was damaging my liver.  Then I had gastric bypass and that should have helped my fatty liver.  But, then I wasn't able to absorb the calories, so I became malnourished. My liver was not getting the proteins I needed in order to supply my body with the proper nourishment.  Every organ you have needs protein, and it starts in the liver.  So - the malnourishment started to affect my liver.  Leading to the state I'm in now. The thing I need to work on is getting off the diu...

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...
