Aye. Am I alone, floating in the boat, in the land of homework hell? Just wondering. Wanted to see if I needed to make friends with a volleyball or not.
My kids ask me all the time if they can get a coconut while we are at the grocery store. I always say no. Seriously...what the hell am I gonna do with a coconut? This last time we went, I caved. Or maybe my kids just finally broke me and I said yes. After hammering the crap out of it to get to it's...whatever, Kid Two looked at me and said, now what? Exactly. Now what. Then he added...thoughtfully, "Well. If one of us isn't feeling well, we can put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up?" Brilliant. I'll get the rum. Hey...if I'm going to "drink something up" it's going to be awesome. And THAT, my friends, is a perfectly good use for a coconut...according my 9 year old. Coconut. Lime. (and rum) The end.
15 years ago, to the month, Mark and I had our first date. He asked me to a UB 40 concert. Not only was I "not available", I wasn't sure I liked his overflow of confidence. That does not mean I didn't think he was totally hot! I said yes, and there began our life together. Last evening, we revisited that night, so many years ago, by going to see them again at the Gallo Center. An appearance by Maxi Priest was an unexpected surprise! That music brings me right back. The venue is very intimate, so our "5 from the stage" seats were fantastic! Thank you, Neighbor Michelle, for the heads up on them coming our way! Cherry Oh Baby!
