The Engagement Edition

Here’s the back story that goes with this post… Back in the day I (Coco) was married for about 30 seconds.  Actually it was like 3 months but you get my point.  My ex-husband was Greek… full blooded.  So to say his family didn’t approve would be an understatement.  I mean, my parents are from [...]

Boys N Da Hood?

Look, I get texting with short cuts.  Everyone does it.  It makes things easier (especially when you’re driving) to use “text speak”…. It’s obvious that “LOL” is way easier than writing out “laughing out loud” (I usually avoid this and write haha but I get it) and I’m a big fan of “LMAO” or “LMFAOROG” [...]

H8VANITYPL8S Continued…

I’ve decided to keep a running list of this ridiculousness since every single day I see a couple more folks I feel I MUST make fun of. – My Realtor’s husband came over to put my “for sale” sign in my yard a few weeks ago.  She did warn me he had a vanity plate.  [...]

A series of unfortunate events, otherwise known as “The Story of My Life”

So a few weeks ago I had to take SP to the doctor.  As I’ve previously stated, my husband is military, so we have to put up with some ridiculous shit.  Like, if you live within a certain mileage from a base (i.e. a day’s drive), you must use their “doctors”¹.  So I pull SP [...]

Lesson Learned.

Note to self: When eating at IHOP stick with breakfast, no matter what time of the day it is. It’s what they do best. This is why its called the “International House of Pancakes” and not the “International House of Chicken Fried Steak“… Today’s lunch brought back some not so happy memories of my elementary [...]

You’re not as cool as you think dude.

So I’m rolling in my 5.0 (okay, that’s a lie… I was rolling in my mom-mobile but I listened to too much Eazy E today) on my way to one of my favorite stores (Target).  I was at a stop light turning left, waiting for the light to turn green.  A dude in a new, [...]

The Unemployment Rate

I’m concerned for America. Does anybody have a flippin’ job anymore?! I seriously don’t think so. I say this because there are people everywhere. And it seems like they are everywhere in the middle of the day. Honestly, at my job there were rarely people that came  into the building between the hours of 10am [...]

I trusted you Dionne!

Today on Judge Alex (don’t worry, I’m not gonna go on about my shows today, just gimme a sec to give my intro) this girl was suing her ex-boyfriend for a $700 phone bill that he racked up calling the phone sex line.  This reminds me of a story. A long time ago in a [...]

Court TV Epiphany

I’ve recently made an observation about the scheduling of my “court” shows.  (I use quotations because, despite “the litigants are real, the cases are real, the rulings are final” schpeal they give you at the beginning, it’s really binding arbitration, not actual court.  But whatever.  Details.)  I’ve noticed that they put the worst ones on [...]

And somehow he’s still the favorite.

My brother calls me on the way to my mom’s house for Mother’s Day yesterday. JW: What should I get mom for mother’s day? Me: Uh, don’t you think you should have thought of that before?  Like, I don’t know, YESTERDAY? JW: Whatever.  What should I get her? Me: Flowers? JW: That’s lame. Me: Okay… [...]
