Tribute to President Riggs

Warning: Lots of Mormon Speak in this post. Nothing exciting, but if you're not LDS you may not know what I'm talking about.

Our Stake President has been called to be the mission president of the Washington DC South mission -- and our Relief Society Presidency asked me to make him a tribute slideshow from the sisters in our ward. Countless hours later (darn my all-or-nothing creativity!) I have the finished product posted unlisted on youtube. If you are a fan of President Riggs or our ward or are just curious, here's the video for your enjoyment.

Facebooking Hacking: My Newest Muse

I've discovered I find a certain clandestine glee in finding my children's facebook accounts sitting open on my computer. I love to type in a status that sings my praises when I do. In fact, yesterday, I hit an all-time high of motherly awesomeness when I discovered Cody's facebook open as I was shutting down my computer for the night and accidentally left this blog post open in the process, where my amazing son Jonah found it and typed part of this post. I LOVE YOU JONAH!!!!!!!!!!! REVENGE IS SWEET.

Oh my goodness, the hacker got hacked! Thanks Jonah.

ANYWAY...upon finding Cody's facebook open I felt immediate inspiration and wrote this little poem in his name. Say it out loud, in rapper style. (Some lines you have to say faster to keep the rhythm. If you need a demonstration, give me a call.)

My name is Coco and I'd like to say,
I left my facebook open and my mom said, "Hey!
Why would my boy do a thing like that?
If this keeps up I'm gonna take his hat!"

... "Take my hat?" I says to her,
"If I was a cat that would not make me purr!"
I guess I'll have to grovel and proclaim that she
... is the greatest darn mom in history!

I worship the ground that she walks on,
I love her hair, I think her clothes are da bomb.
I need a girl that's like her in every way,
so I'll keep looking 'til my dyin' day.

My dyin' day, hey hey, my dyin' day.
Oh yeah.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Sigh. I'm so funny. ;-)
