Tidbits from Grayce

OMG Aunt Cheryl.....I was TOTALLY called Mrs. Rattle Trap on the CB! I was flabbergasted!

Here is a pic of my and my old best friend that I grew up with. By golly, we have our skirts on! Her name is Elizabeth.....but I called her Wibbies for whatever reason and she called herself Pitapuss. So cute!

I am on a run with Ronnie and he just informed me that all the other truckers call him "Rattle Trap"......my husband is officially trucker trash....

Miss Beatrice, The church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was
admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea...As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom! When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. 'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about
this?', pointing to the bowl. 'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through
the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions saidto place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease... Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.

AHEM!........

Oh soup....my wonderful tortilla soup......thou art yummy.
Thou fillest my belly and my thoughts almost everyday.
I dream dreams of chicken broth and tortilla strips that only you can fulfill.
You warm my heart, soul, and body on the coldest of days.
I yearn for your cheesiness.
Your spiciness makes my tongue tingle ever so slightly long after my meal.
You make my lunch hour worth while and long awaited.
I cannot imagine my life without you.
Every other seems so foolish before I found you.
Thank you for providing my lunch hour with meaning.
Thou keepest my waistline slim and my backside perky.
You do not fill me with things I do not need.
You give me great nutrition and fulfillment.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I love you.
You are my everything.

Saturday, Ronnie and I went to the Love Field Flight Museum. We pass it all the time and Ronnie always says that he wants to go. Since I am a GENIUS, I had the great idea to go! I am just so smart.... :) Here are some random pics that I took while there! Yes, I know that it was suppose to be an educational visit....but you know me....gotta make everything a fun experience with a lot of jolliness!



Here I am in a chair from an airplane strapped in....I even have aviator sunglasses on...so prepared......



Here is a flight hat with a million pins all over it....I would have to say that whoever this hat belonged to....is an overachiever...COMPLETLY....





I would hate to be this guy....that is all I have to say about that....



Well, this is where I was interested.....these are some fashionable stewardess outfits...I will let you guess from which time period.....


This is what Ronnie would look like on a plane that had bad turbulance.....hahahaahah



They had uggs back in 1928! hahahahaha!


This is what Ronnie would look like on a plane going down.....hahahahaha

Well......I survived the Ozzy concert.....in one piece.....and without scuffing my new boots! YESSSSS! Well it wasn't as scary as I thought that it was going to be. We were sitting by normal looking people at least......I did see Satan.....or at least someone dressed up as Satan. No lie....he was completely painted red and he had horns on his head....like, they looked like they were really his horns! I wanted to get a picture of him.....but I kept thinking that I would scream and wack him....so I decided that it wasn't THAT important to get a close up picture of him. ANYWAYS!
It was LOUD and my ears were ringing for DAYS after the concert! I think that it has finally stopped....like yesterday afternoon.....and the concert was Thursday.
Here is a pic of us waiting for the concert to start!
Wasn't very happy with my hair.....I think that I am just still having troubles with liking what it looks like now. Oh well.....that is a whole other tidbit......
Here are a few other pics with all the different light colors they had...
Ronnie liked it. It was his Christmas present....so that is all that mattered. I did recognize a few songs....but I think its cuz I have heard Ronnie sing them.....oh well! I had mexican food and pinkberry before the concert! That is ALL that mattered! JK LOL!
Ozzy is definately old! He wasn't in a wheelchair.....but I think he might have appreciated one....his hands were shaking the whole time....it was weird....kids, that is why we do NOT do drugs.....ever!

Look! No bangs! I am magic!

My Aunt Cheryl got Scooby a hat....he loves it...can't you tell??!?!?!?!?!!??!

Tubular? Really Grayce? Anyways.....

A few photos with captions that I would like to share on this rainy Tubular Tuesday:



What is this you ask? Well this thing is Nilla's blanket. Yes, it is shredded. No, I have no clue why she does it.....I think that she has a nervous habit. I saw this show on A&E (I think) and it was about people with weird habits that they don't tell anyone about. There was one girl who ate powder laundry detergent. I think I should send in a video of Nilla. "Hi, my name is Nilla and I eat my blanket during the day when mama is gone."


Scoob. He just likes to sit in the dog's cages...I do not know why,he just does. Him is so precious...or "preshy" as I call it.



OOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Rook at me purdy hat! It's so pretty! It sparkle like diamond in sky!

Here I am on the Jumbotron at Cowboys Stadium at the MyPlates Auction last Thursday...I still think that I look completely retarded....and did I mention that I was so pale that they had to add some color to me so I didn't look weird? TRUE STORY......

Well the weekend FLEW by with lightning speed of course....to the point of I had myself CONVINCED that yesterday was Saturday....eventhough I remember what I did on the REAL Saturday and EVERYTHING! I don't know WHAT the deal was! OH WELL!

The weekend started off with getting to go to dinner with Hogie Friday night....yes in Longview....at Carino's. Why did we pick Carino's over Olive Garden you ask? Well it was a huge debate with lots of hours spent picking and choosing and rationalizing what would be the best choice...it came down to these 2 items that made Carino's win the award: the bread and Carino's doesn't leave a huge garlic after taste and last but CERTAINLY not least....they have our wine that we love! OK OK OK....so that was REALLY the winning reason and the bread wasn't even discussed until we were sitting there eating....whatever.... :) ANYWAYS>>>>>>we had a great time together! We can talk about anything and everything and never miss a beat! I miss getting to see her regularly...her is the BEST! Cooper was spending the day with his daddy. It is the cutest thing ever to hear that Colby takes Cooper with him. She told me that their day started by having breakfast with all the old men at the cafe, then they went to the barber shop to get haircuts, then they worked for a bit, then they went hog hunting.....I mean seriously...how cute is all that! Cooper just turned 1 a few weeks ago! What a doll! I ruv him!

Ronnie got to come to my parents late Friday night. We basically slept all day Saturday and laid around watching TV....I love those kind of days...I feel like I rush and rush and drive and pack and rush some more EVERYDAY of the week....so when I get a lazy day...I LOVE IT! And Ronnie was there to be lazy with me....so that was nice. We had breakfast at 1pm....eggs and ham steaks...YUM!!!!! Then we decided to go to Shreveport to go eat and go to the Boardwalk for something to do. We invited dad and he came with us. Bass Pro Shop was our first stop! I got some lemon drops candy and Ronnie got some earphones....is that a word?....earphones sounds kind of retarded today...anyways...they have a huge aquarium there with the biggest catfish and fresh water fish from around here....kind of makes me not want to go to the lake...especially if those things are below and around me when I am in the water....
We went to eat at the sushi place on the boardwalk right next to Bass Pro Shops....it was called Sushikito or something like that...it was SUPERB! All the sushi was wonderful! They bites were HUGE! In the pic below, that is ONE bite and it was so big, I pushed it over on a fork! Ridiculously big! But YUMMY all the same....
Ronnie got some shoes at Nike that were really cute....I mean, MANLY and sophisticated....and I got 3 bottles of lotion at Bath and Body works....remember Plumeria? Yeah they had it....and I am using that bottle first of course! OK OK OK....I went into the Juicy Couture outlet there and got the cutest little denim jacket, a black leather wrap belt, 2 pairs of trouser socks and one pair of purple lace tights....all basically for peanuts compared to regular price! I don't have a pic of any of it...but I am gonna have to wear the coat one day this week since I am out of clothes here and I DO NOT re-wear outfits...big NO NO in my book of Fashion that is all in my head...hahaha

Sunday, went and saw Black Swan. Ok I would like to start off by saying that I didn't really know what to expect....yes I heard that there were some lesbian scenes and yes I heard that it was a dark movie with some confusion as to what was really going on. And yes they were right! That poor girl was disturbed completely! It was basically in a nut shell....well as nut shell as you can get that is...it is about a ballerina who took on the roll of Swan Queen and had trouble distinguishing between reality and what she thought was happening. She basically embodied her role to the point of death. Very different. A lot of the camera shots were following her around while she was walking and dancing....so we got kind of dizzy for some of it. DID I MENTION THAT I GOT A HOT DOG?!?!?! Cuz that is the important part! hahahaha!

Anyways....back to the drawing board....or work week I should say. Ronnie went back to work too. Our Ozzy Ozborne concert is Thursday....trying to convince Ronnie to wear guyliner and leather pants.....don't know how big of an impact I have made so far in convincing him of it.....I mean, I would wear leather pants if I had some....come to think of it....I am pretty sure that I need some....hmmmm

I would like to close this tidbit with a photo that my mother sent my from her iphone....I will let you all wonder and figure it out.....

I would like to give a shout out to all my hoes in different area codes....this means you Stephanie.....I MEAN BETHANY! MISS JU FREN!

Ok Please show by raise of hands who thinks that Confetti Cake Cookies are a MUST in everyone's diet?
Well crap....I only see one hand.....and wait a MINUTE.....THAT'S MY HAND! You don't count you over excited cookie eater! Put your hand down right this instant!
Quit pouting.....stop it right now.....there is no need for you to pout like a little brat! What do you think that you are? You think that you can just do and say whatever you want to cuz this is your blog of tidbits? Is that what you think?

Well come to think of it.....you DID brillintly come up with the idea for the blog.....you DO write all these brilliant and funny tidbits.....you DO provide all the pictures......you DO share life experiences with all 5 of your followers (only 5?...that is PATHETIC.....)......I guess you can say and act however you want to.......
SUCCESS! WHOOP WHOOP!

1) look at my pretty eyeshadow! It sure isn't MAC material....but I was pretty proud! Please ignor the uneven complextion and the ridiculous eyebrows....sanks!

2)Look at my cutesy wootsey shoesy woosies!!!!! I LOVE them! Have had them a while.....but for some reason never pick them to wear! What the flagnog is my problem you ask? Well ELAPHINO!

PLUS.......


EQUALS......
(disgusting bubbly separated marshmallow cream that makes you want to puke)

....production thought that I was too pale for the commercial and they had to change it somehow to make me look like I had more color to my face? HOW EMBARRASSING!

....and that I fixed my hair different today....and I think that it made me hate it more? UGHHHH!

....is a new hair style or color or SOMETHING....I have been growing out my hair for a long time now....well since the day that I chopped it off like a freaking retard.....ANYWAYS....my patience is long gone....and so is the love of my hair color...well I mean I love it and all....but I feel so BLAND....just like white rice with no seasoning or butter.....feel me? Oh Yamie.....

OK, so I totally want to do makeup class....school...or whatever it is called. Like the MAC one....I don't even know if it exists.....but I was in MAC this weekend and I am TOTALLY untalented in the random and really cool eye makeup stuff.....those people have MAD CRAZY makeup skills that I do NOT possess AT ALL.....like eyeshadow sometimes scares me....even though I like love the bright colors.....so what do I do......

Here are some random pics that I took last week that I would like to share!


Here is Scoober....he always lays with his arms stretched out! Him is so FUNNY! Ruv him!


Here is my house in Dallas! I couldn't get the whole house.....and it needs some shuttters!


Look how pretty the sky was here! I walked out of Target in Dallas on Friday night and this is what it looked like....and of course the iphone camera doesn't do it justice!



Ok so I have FINALLY gotten the pillows how I want them on my couch in my livingroom...yes I know that the lighting is bad...but oh well...they are black, white, gray, lime green, and the grinch green! I love them!



Me and my bestie Jamie Payne.....a.k.a YAMIE! Her came to see me!

One candy bar down, 100 miles to go.....oh boy....

Well it snowed yesterday....and I have literally been stuck inside at home in Dallas. The roads were so bad to where I couldn't drive down to Longview yesterday! It is still freezing! I don't really see any more snow other than in the bushes, trees and on my car.....I was planning on coming tonight to Longview.....but I guess that I should check the weather and traffic to see if I should or not. Hmmmmmmm.......so I stayed inside yesterday ALL DAY, didn't go outside to run/walk which I usually do everyday....I feel like a fat slob already.....HA!...and yes I did make some cookies and eat some of the dough.....maybe THAT is why I feel like a fat slob....ANYWAYS....I watched the movie Salt and the movie Step Up 3...yes the dance movie.....I find it so neat how they can move like that! It's crazy! I can't even do the SPLITS anymore!...muchless flip everywhere and walk on my hands and do the worm or whatever they call it! CRAZY! I have all my stuffed sort of packed.....well it is in a stack by my fireplace....I just gotta put it in a bag and pack my car up. I gotta work today til 5:30 and then I will pack and prob leave....crossing my fingers for a safe trip~

....and I look so flagnogging retarded too! This commercial will be playing in Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, and Austin starting next week!

Ok, so I took a diet pill around 11:00 today....in hopes that I would not over eat at lunch with Jamie. We went to Jalapeno Tree for the soup....our FAV.......yummmmmmm. Anyways....my body acted like I hadn't eaten in days and I consumed soooooooo many chips! What happened to the diet pill plan of not being able to eat much? This is ridiculous! I can't even rely on a diet pill to fix the weight gain situation. I am a slave to my body image. What is my deal! I will tell you what my deal is.....let's blame it on Target and Victoria's Secret for already having swim suits. I mean, seriously? That it just WRONG on ALL accounts! Uncalled for. Unnecessary. And yet....I am affected deeply. I don't want to be a freaking cliche.....where my resolution is to get in shape....I mean, I bet that 95% of women's resolutions are that. So here is mine that was just blown: forget the getting in shape....I am going to rely on diet pills to do the magic. Where did I go wrong.....

Grayce: "Mom, why aren't u turning on Despicable Me?"
Mama: "Cuz I am waiting for the DVD to rewind..."

Why is it that when I drive further than 10 minutes, I classify it as a trip and need a candy bar....

OMG....I get my hair did today! My best good friend Kristie is coming to work on her DAY OFF to do my hair since I live in Dallas now and can NEVER coordinate with her for a hair appointment....I end up having to cancel every appointment I make and then try to get worked in.....BUT she is booked up CONSTANTLY....so I will just have to be her special client that gets special treatment! YEA!!!! What a great friend her is! SANKS KRISTIE!

Happy Birthday to my husband today! Him turned 33 today! Love you babe! XOXOXO

FLAPPY PEW SMEAR!!!!!!!!!!
