Coco's Chaos

The older I get, the more I excited I am when I have the chance to stay home and do absolutely nothing. And lets not even discuss the pure joy I feel in my spirit when I am able to take a good nap... *daydreams about taking a nap* I could stay in my room all day and only leave for food if you let me.  I decided while writing my Best of 2014 post that I would make it a point to get out of my room more and do at least one activity or attend at least one event each month. I want to have stories to tell and memories to reflect upon. I cant tell tales of all the hours I spent locked away in my room, in bed, watching all my DVR'd shows while I dined upon delicious junk food. That would be tragic and quite frankly, a dull existence. So, Im fighting the temptation to be an introvert all the time and actually live a little. We're now in our third month of the year and so far I have kept my promise to myself. I'm getting out more and making more plans. I'm still VERY excited abou...

I was scrolling through my Twitter feed late one night and I noticed a lot of people using the hashtags #BestSelfiesof2014 or #BestSelfies2014 while posting what they considered their "best" selfies of this year. I joined in on the fun and posted two or three selfies. It was during my search for one more selfie that I realized how much has happened this year. I then decided to stop the selfie hunt and start working on a post about this rollercoaster year we call 2014.  I have been to weddings, reunions, parties, balls, ladies' nights, dinners, and unfortunately, a couple funerals over the last year. Lots of smiles, laughter and tears shed (some happy...some not). I have experienced so much over the last year that I couldnt possibly go into 2015 without reflecting on all the ups/downs and smiles/frowns of 2014.  So, prepare to travel back, way back, to the beginning of this year. And then buckle up for a ride through all twelve months of 2014. Ready? Here we go...  January...
