Happy Sunday, everyone. Thank you for coming back for seconds. You are brave. We are again satiated with bacon and perked with Kaladi Brothers Coffee.
We are eager to share with you the magical entity that is Peach and CoCo. Colorful, hilarious, tough, practical, whimsical, artistic and adventurous only scratches the surface. CoCo was born on the rocky shores of Alaska, and Peach was born in the Rocky mountains of Colorado. But somehow we found each other in the multidimensional cave-world one might call “library.” The library is where we work, read, play, hone our shushing skills, and discuss the latest episode of Saturday Night Live. This is where we became the best of friends.
Although our names, put together, sound like a horrible food combination, like pepperoni and frosting, they are, in fact, our true nicknames. CoCo named herself at age one, unable to pronounce her given name. Peach was raised in a peach growing and processing community. Plus, she really is just a peachy girl.
As females, we have the stereotypical love of eye-liner, unicorns, chocolate, kittens and the color magenta. As worldly, open-minded, sarcastic and steel-lined women, however, much of that love is tongue-in-cheek or ironic. Except for the kittens. We really do love kittens.
CoCo, against her feminine nature, and to the chagrin of her mother perhaps, loves super macho movies. Action, adventure, robots, explosions, cowboys, blood and guts, outer space… peek her interest way WAY more than anything adapted from a Jane Austen novel.
Peach is an avid fan of cage fighting and hockey, and she never misses a Dungeons and Dragons game if she can help it. If you even mention UFC, she will explode into an enthusiastic encyclopedia of who’s who and fighting techniques. It’s the same with her RPG character, a dragon-born warrior.
Music! Music can say a lot about a person as well. Here are CoCo and Peach’s top ten for the week.
Peach: Day After Day, Badfinger Unwed Fathers, John Prine Starlight, Muse Dog Days Are Over, Florence + The Machine Are you Gonna Be My Girl?, JET The Time (Dirty Bit), Black Eyed Peas Spanish Pipedream, John Prine It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels, Kitty Wells Wagon Wheel, Old Crow Medicine Show Baby's Got Her Bluejeans On, Mel McDaniel | CoCo: uSSummertime, Gershwin In In the Summertime, Mungo Jerry <! Sellotape, Flight of the Conchords New Slang, The Shins <! When Your Mind’s Made Up, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova <! Where I Stood, Missy Higgins <! The Last DJ, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers <! What’s Up, Four Non-Blondes <! Perfect Day, Lou Reed <! SexyBack, Justin Timberlake |
So there you have it. A taste of Peach and CoCo. As we add more posts, we’d like to take on a more narrative voice, and begin storytelling the amazing adventures we have. Like the time we renovated CoCo’s birthday cake… or the time we drove a van of elderly ladies to the Iditarod start.
Until next time, stay warm Cheechakos!
