Tidbits from Grayce

OK, seriously......I am so swamped with stuff at work, that I haven't even left for lunch yet. I haven't even STARTED on billing yet! AHHHHHHHHH! OK, enough about work. I made chicken salad last night.....to die for! YUUUUUUUUUMMY! I called the vet this morning to check on Scoobs. They said that he was ready to go whenever I could come get him. Well I have to work all day so he is STILL there! Poor wittle Scoobs! Him is gonna be soooo mad at me! I can't wait to hold him.....I hope he will still purr and love me......I hope that he doesn't look like he hurts. That will be sooooo sad. :( I don't know what I am gonna do if he is sad! Scoobs has NEVER been sad! He has NEVER been dropped off at the vet before overnight...he has only stayed the night at Granny's house! He is having a serious culture shock right now! I am not going to clean anything tonight. I am just going to sit with him and love on him. I do need to cook supper.....but other than that.....him just needs love and snuggles! I am sure that Zoey will be all over him though.....try to take care of him....which is good.....but he will have stitches in various places...awwwwww poor Scoobs! I forgot about having stitches! I am sad now! 1 hour and 15 minutes until I can leave to go get him. I guess that since I skipped lunch, that I will be able to leave an hour early! :) 37 DAYS TIL NEW MOON and ULTA opens next Friday! Totally hitting up that hot spot on the lunch break with Stephanie....I mean Bethany! Today was Swiss Cocoa Cream and Toasted Coconut yogurt at It'll Do Deli! I think that is my ultimate fav.....until tomorrow when they have something different and then I will be saying that about the flavors THAT day. SOOOOOO excited about this weekend! Miranda Lambert concert at the State Fair! Cowboy boots + Miranda Lambert + turkey leg + fried Texas cookie dough + Christia + Ronnie + Aja + Josh not Minor + Farris Wheel + games = FUN TIMES AHEAD OF ME THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!! ~

Jeffrey made last night's pancakes for my birthday dinner....yes breakfast for dinner.....pancakes are my fav! He made one giant pancake for me....and tried his pancake flipping skills.....

Well, it is now 364 days until my birthday! YES! Ha! Just kidding.....Yesterday was my birthday. Big 2-7! Whoo hoo! Pretty close to 30...a little TOO close if you ask me! Anyways...we were just lazy on Saturday....oh yeah, I posted that day....I forgot. Ok so we will just talk about Sunday. Ronnie and I left at 6:30 in the morning and drove to Dallas to see Jeff's triathlon. It was FREEZING and RAINING in Dallas.....not ideal weather for a triathlon AT ALL! Of course I didn't dress appropriately for the freezing weather.....but whatever. I survived. There were lots of dogs there. We stood next to a great dane named Duke that was soooooo sweet. Jeffrey got 10th in his age group and 108th overall. There were about 1300 people that were in this thing.....I am SOOOOOOOOO not a triathloner...... :) Then Ronnie, crabby daddy, mama, and I went and ate at the Cheesecake Factory afterwards. I was sooooooo pumped about eating french toast!!!! And then it was SOGGY! UGH! I never want french toast from there AGAIN! Dad got the biggest burrito that I have ever seen.....and ate ALL of it except 2 bites! The waitress told him that if they had a plaque, that his name would be at the top because she had NEVER seen anyone eat that much of it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Such a proud moment for all of us at the table! :) Then us 4 went to Orange Cup....had to introduce the mom and pop to the love of my life! (Orange Cup) Mama didn't like it....weirdo....everyone loves Orange Cup! It must not have fit the criteria for the bubble.... :) Dad loved it of course.....Ronnie loved it of course and got a large like me......and I have a never ending stomach for the stuff......I was very tempted to ask them if I could just stick my head under the machine and turn it on for my birthday :) I resisted and stayed in my seat. :( Mama and Crabby Daddy left after that and Ronnie and I went shopping for a bit. Well Louis Vuitton was out of my phone cover that I have been coveting for quite some time. And all the stores in the Dallas area were sold out as well! Then Anthropologie didn't have my shoes and Steve Madden was out of my size in the shoes that I wanted there as well! It was HORRIBLE! I was so overcome with sad emotion that I had to eat ANOTHER Orange Cup! I surrendered to my addiction and ended up going in other stores and getting some cute stuff! Other than the lack of the items that I desperately needed......I was able to pull myself together and find other items that I didn't know that I needed, but realized that I did the second that I laid my eyes on them of course :) After shopping, we went home, parents and Jeffery came over and we grilled steaks, mac and cheese, and corn. YUM YUM YUM YUM!!!! Jeff stayed the night with us. He gave me the cutest piece of cake box that my gifts came in.....super cute! I got a watch, can of corn (my fav food and obsession), a "corn purse" for emergency uses of corn, a hilarious singing card that talks about waffles, and a candle that smells like freaking CAKE! I had a good day. :)

Oh glorious lazy Saturday....it has been sooooo long since we have seen each other.....I am so thankful that we meet again! Ok, breakfast, then record breaking long shower, then search for these stinking shoes that I need and can't seem to find in my size on the Internet, snuggle with animals that I lovingly refer to as my zoo, wait for my hair to dry in it's natural funky way that is VERY unattractive (trust me on this one), go get a pedi and maybe Mani depending on wait, dream about Orange Cup, Anthopologie, Louis Vuitton, and french toast at Cheesecake Factory tomorrow! Whoa! That sure is a lot! I need a nap just from accomplishing all that today! Whew! I knew that I was tired for a reason! jk.....birthday is Monday. 27. Hmmmmmmm......I don't think that I am AS excited about the birthday situation this year....that number is awfully close to 30 and I don't appreciate that ONE BIT! Did I mention that I waxed my eyebrows and upper lip this morning too? Pretty red still....especially the lip.....OUCH! Scoobs is walking around talking to himself! He is soooooo funny....not as funny as the fact that my largest pit bull is scared of Scoobs....Poor poor Nilla. Her is soooooo tortured! Alright....off the nail salon I must go....I think that it has been longer since I have been to the nail salon than I have met up with Oh Glorious Lazy Saturday....yikes.....poor nail tech! I will leave you with a video that I found on my laptop that I forgot that we had....hilarious! Enjoy!~

43 days til NEW MOON!!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!! AND I have another obsessed New Moon lover....my friend Jonna.....she is JUST as thrilled as I am....and Stephanie, I mean Bethany!!!!!! Camping out the night before, wearing our Team Edward sweatshirts, and totally prepared to push past, shove, or dismember any underage girls that get in our way of the perfect seat!

Check it out people.....I have 5 followers!!!!! YES! First step to stardom......5 followers! I am famous!!!!!!!! WHOOOOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!

We my adoring fans......it has been a short while since my last post...and I do apologize profusely for that. I have been sick.....still am....but presents seems to make me feel better for anyone who wants me to feel better :) Well I guess that I didn't give an account of my exciting weekend yet....so I will do that....even though it is now closer to this coming weekend......We went to Oklahoma with Josh and Aja to see Kings of Leon in concert! It was sooooo much fun! I still have blisters on my feet from jumping up and down and screaming like a flagnoggin groupie! Before we went to the concert, Aja took me to go shop at this place called Campus Corner.....highly recommended.....we had a great time and got lots of good stuff....cuz you know....my closet is lacking and I needed MORE clothes. WHATEVER! It needed more clothes that I didn't already have!...of course! Anyways.....we had sushi before the concert....yum! I have this HUGE obsession with edamame....and their edamame had salt AND pepper on it....super good! Craving some right now! Anyways......then the concert. I don't drink.....and I think that quite possibly, I was the only person in the whole entire concert that didn't. So while everyone else was waving around a beer....I was waving around a lemonade and a bag of candy.....yeah....picture that.....rock concert....with me waving around a bag of candy......if I would have thought about it sooner...I should have been embarrassed! :) Pretty funny. Anyways.....Kings of Leon were absolutely great in concert.....quite possibly better in concert than on a CD or radio! We had such a good time! After the concert it was pouring raining...of course....and we had to walk everywhere that we went. So we walked to this place, I think called Rock Bar and stayed there til ungodly hours of the morning and then went to IHOP....who had the absolute WORST service and was the slowest place that I have ever eaten at. When it is almost morning, you are soaking wet, hungry, tired, smell like cigarette smoke, hungry, and your feet hurt like they got caught in a bear trap and you got them out yourself.....there is NO pancake worth the wait. And then, since I am eating healthy....(ignore the bag of candy I mentioned earlier) I got oatmeal and scrambled eggs.....NO PANCAKES! So then the wait REALLY wasn't worth it! Oh well.....I got a shower when we got back to the hotel and a good night's rest....and we all make it back safely. Sunday e woke up, ate lunch, and headed back to Longview. We stopped in Dallas to have Orange Cup...freakin yum.....and didn't get back until like 9pm. All in all the weekend was great and we had a great time! Anyways.....I am freezing right now and don't feel good.....I wish that I was at home snoozing.....that would make me feel better. I am going to get in bed by 9 tonight....I have been getting in bed at decent hours recently.....it makes getting up a whole lot easier...that's for sure :)

Let me introduce you to my latest obsession....Orange Cup: Zum yogurt with strawberries and chocolate chips. Ronnie is eating: Natural with granola and chocolate chips. OMG....I can't get enough of this stuff! I dream about it.....I want it all the time......there is no limit for my stomach with this stuff....I ate 2 of them on Sunday! Fatty McFatFat....yes I know.....but did you know that there is only 324 calories in that glorious cup above? Yes it is the truth! Don't call me a liar! Geez! Go to orangecup.com and you can read all about it. No, we don't have one in this blasted town of Longview...or Tyler. It is in North Park Mall in Dallas right above Anthropologie.....by Neiman Marcus. OH MAN I WANT ONE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even concentrate now cuz I want one soooooo bad! Anyways.....back to work....

Farewell my beloved cereal....out paths must no longer be one. We must separate and be a part of each other no more. You have brought me much needed joy and inspiration. You have given me a reason to wake up every morning rejoicing that it is a new day. You have improved my outlook on mornings and breakfast. You have made me look forward to the alarm going off at ungodly hours of the morning. You have made me once again appreciate bowls, milk, and spoons. You have made me stop and enjoy the 10 minutes on the kitchen floor every morning sitting cross legged while Scoobs eats his breakfast too. You have made me realize that breakfast doesn't need to be full of nutrition and protein. You have made me realize that oatmeal is not the only way. You have made my shopping experiences worth while. You have given a whole new appreciation for the cereal isle in all grocery stores. I thank you for all the memories that we have together. You have helped me to grow....my muffin top that is.....in new areas that breakfast has never made me grow before. But unfortunately, my mornings must take a new path, a healthier path, a lower calorie path, a smaller muffin top path, a no cellulite path, a path that makes me confident in a bikini, daisy dukes, and tight jeans that are a size 26. If those are my goals, then we can no longer be one. And unfortunately, and I do mean unfortunately, I have eaten my last bowl this morning. I have tasted your Sprinkled Cookie Crispness for the last time. I must pursue other dreams that have my future and my best interest at heart. I just know that you don't put me first, and it breaks my heart.....or the zipper in my pants, but whatever. This must be the last time that I speak of you. I must no longer think of all your colorful sprinkles and sweet SWEET taste. I must let you go free into other arms that will appreciate you for all your worth and lack of nutritional value. So, Stephanie.....I mean Bethany......I give you the love of my life, my reason for getting up in the morning, the topic of all my daydreams, the muffin top on all my jeans......my Sprinkle Cookie Crisp cereal. Treat it well.....learn to appreciate it for all it's worth, love it like I have loved it. So long my beloved......

51 51 fifty one one one....51 51 fifty one one one....51 51 fifty one one one.....fifty oooone days til neeeeeewwwwwwww mooooooon!

Scoobs don't like he new shirt. But he LOOOOOVE catnip! Catnip has the effect of being high for Scoobs.....his shirt makes him act drunk. Him is SUCH a mess.......

OK, any takers.....like.....anybody want to take over the ownership of Eyeball? He is becoming WAAAAAAAY too much of a diva worm and requires WAAAAAAY too much. The little crapper DEMANDS liquid cantaloupe to dip him leaves in...which he said HAVE to be mint leaves because it "compliments the cantaloupe". I mean COME ON! AND THEN, he wants mascara for each eyeball.....he has like 10 fake eyes....and no real eyelashes AT ALL. THEN, he wants a fan to blow on him at all times IN THE SUNSHINE so he doesn't shrivel up and die. I cant have salt in the house for fear of my turning on him and "salting" him to death. THEN, he wants a bed of feathers and dirt....sick....so I had to kill one of my expensive pillows for the feathers and then collect dirt without any rocks or dead ants in it. DO YOU KNOW how hard it is to find dirt without rocks or dead ants in it where we live? SERIOUSLY! The little jerk! I mean......none of my other pets demand those kind of things......I won't even GO INTO what he demands for lunch.....sooooo I finally had enough....and here is what is left of Eyeball.....RIP SUCKER!HA!

OK, so this interesting creature is what I will be discussing later today.....it is my new pet names Eyeball.......he has a stinger.....what the FLAGNOG IS HE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

53 days......WHAT WHAT.....tiiiiiiiiiil NEW MOON!

.....blah blah blah....your breath is SOOOOOO bad, that if you were a Star Wars character, your name would be Chew-ca-ca!!!!!!!

Iiiiiiitttttt was fffffffreeeeeezing attttt wwwwworrrrkkkkkk todddddddayyyyyy.....if your couldn't tell. Anyways......I still got yogurt though! I am a TROOPER!~ A trooper that plans ahead cuz I wore a SWEATER to work today! But I was STILL freezing! Nothing really exciting happened today......woke up, chi died, went to use mama's, got to work, ate crackers, worked some more, froze my ass off, went to lunch, came back, talked to Hogie (yea!!!! her came and saw me at work!!!!!), worked some more, talked to Tyrizzity like 15 times, worked, drank a pepsi, chatted with Stephanie I mean Bethany, left work at 5:27 (SCORE!!!!!), filled up the HumRay at Skinners while I went inside and bought 2 boxes of Sprinkled Cookie Crisp cereal (SUPER DUPER DOUBLE FLAGNOGGIN SCORE!!!!!!), came home, cooked steaks and baked potatoes and corn with Runny and the parents, washed my face, and here I am....almost ready for bed....gonna read.....then crash. :) TOODLES!

57 57 5777... 57 57 5777..... 57 57 57777.....577777777777777777777777777777777 days til New Moon....

58 58 58-8-8... 58 58 58-8-8... 58 58 58-8-8 58888888888888888888888888 more days until new moon!

Ok......who wants to take a guess as to what the pic of the day is? Any takers? No one? Seriously guys.....it isn't that hard......OH, YOU, behind me......you wanna take a gander? OK, go ahead, please state your name as well so everyone knows who is guessing. "Stephanie....I mean Bethany. It is a picture of my car and what a bird unloaded on it." Thanks Stephanie.....I mean Bethany....you are absolutely correct! Man....she is SO SMART! Disgusting huh.....yeah......seriously disgusting.....I just don't see how any bird in this area is large enough to produce such a load! Unless is was a Nillabird or a Pterodactyl. And I know that neither one of those are in the area...so it must have been BigBird! Alright....yall have a great day.....hope I didn't gross you out for supper!

Corn takes less than 24 hours to clear your system :)

59 59 59 59...DAYS TIL NEW MOON!

Here is the pic of the day for Tuesday....we will discuss in detail later what it actually is and why I chose to post and discuss this one......tah tah !

Well, had a migraine this morning....totally crappy! I was fighting it all day yesterday and finally just caved around 10pm or so.....it was crappy.....BUT the 3am bowl of Cookie Crisp Sprinkled Sugar Cookie cereal wasn't crappy at all! I am in love....and the box is almost empty already! Must purchase more for my ever expanding ass! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It is equivalent to Sprinkle Spangled Cereal that they use to make when I was in Junior High.....but they stopped making it like 10 years ago or so....I was COMPLETELY devastated! My mother said that the government probably outlawed it and that is why they stopped making it! I couldn't believe that she would say such a thing about such an amazing cereal! But she did......anyways!!!!!!! IT'S BACK....IN THE FORM OF A COOKIE CEREAL! COULD IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!?!?!?!?!?! AND I live on my own now so I can buy as many boxes and eat it for every meal and my mom can't tell me NO! This is GREAT! OK, so I really don't have anything interesting to say today....ok...I will admit...I can't concentrate on anything now that I am hungry and thinking about my cereal~!

Today is stupid. Stephanie, I mean Bethany is sick today.....I think that she just wanted to start her weekend early and so she "claims to be sick"....FAKER! Then my computer fudged up and cost me about 5 hours of work today....lost everything that I had done in quickbooks all week and had to go back and recheck EVERYTHING and redo some stuff. It was all CRAP! And then I went to Posados for lunch and it was gross. Then I didn't get any yogurt....my stomach hurts, I am tired, nothing is working with this client of mine that refuses to cooperate....AHHHHH whatever.....maybe 5:30 will come quicker and it will allllllll beeeeeeeee overrrrrrrrrrr......

Here is a pic from last night's feast of goodness provided by mama!

So i TRIED to "tidbit" yesterday from my iPhone.....doesn't work...AT ALL! SO I apologize to my millions of fans out there that reply on my for witty entertainment......I have dropped the ball.....I will try to pick it back up and get back in the game! :) Yeah, I AM retarded.....maybe I am still drunk from syrup last night! Mama came over and made me and her pancakes....I ate like 10 of them....and half a bottle of syrup later...... :) They were grand and I want them for supper EVERY NIGHT! AND LUNCH AND BREAKFAST! With the occasional piece of cake and can of corn :) Ronnie went on a hot shot yesterday and didn't get home until like 5ish....I don't actually remember him coming home, I just remember hearing barking and then when I woke up again, he was there. Still raining here.....which makes me cold, which makes me tired, which makes me wanna go home and put on sweatpants, t-shirt, and slippers and read my book. Man....I am getting so old....that sounds like that funnest thing ever! Speaking of funnest thing ever.....I have another funeral to go to. Eric Ruff's dad died. :( I just cant believe that I am not having to twist Ronnie's arm to get him there! Tiny steps, tiny steps.......anyways.....I have a lot to do today, so I am gonna start doing all that. Maybe it will stop raining and I can take the dogs outside today after work....they would love that! TTYL!

Is it STILL Tuesday? Seriously? Geez! Well I just finished doing majority of billing at work and then I did payroll....today is when I am everyone's favorite employee! :) HA HA HA! OK, so lemon and strawberry yogurt...got some of that...had some Jack's Natural Foods today too. Mama is sick at home. It is still stupid weather outside and I hate it! I am sooooo ready to get off work and go HOME! I wanna see my doggies and Scoobs! SCOOBS! Him gets to stay out of his cage when we are gone now! So he gets to run around and play toys and attempt to climb the walls. Him is soooo cute! He now carries the stuffed snake around with him that is really the dogs toy.....it is like 6 times the size of him! He grabs the end and runs really fast and drags it behind him. SOOOOO cute! Nothing interesting to say today AT ALL! Well, Scoobs also ate 2 cans of food this morning! Him was hungry! I am starting a new book that Stephanie, I mean BETHANY loaned me....it is called Bergdorf Blondes.....I am sure that I will relate to the character in more ways than one, realize how shallow I am, wanna donate all my clothing to goodwill, work at the Hiway 80 Rescue Mission every Saturday morning, and then wake up and want PANCAKES~ TTYL

Well....it's raining, it's pouring, I wish that I was snoring....OK, I will stop. We got moved out to the Shop House...and it rained the WHOLE time we were moving! I mean, the ONE time I am trying to move! AND I had a garage sale with Patti Coleman and my mom and Patti's friend Liz and it rained the whole time we were doing THAT too! GEEZ! I mean, I have the luck of a roach on the wall in the White House! Oh well...it is over with...for now....and I made a little bit at the garage sale (not enough for a Louis Vuitton wallet...but enough for a really cute dress, skirt, and jacket from Free People that I have had my eyes on...) and all I have to do it organize my closet, pack up some candles, and minimize my random clothing that came out of my drawers...like t shirts and sweatpants and crap like that....that I think that I will need ALL OF IT and will only end up using a few pairs out of about 100! Anyways....so very tired! But not hungry at this moment....I woke up this morning and the power was out from the storms. So I got all my stuff together and got ready at my parents house.....MAMA MADE PANCAKES!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!! I ate at least 20 pancakes....or at least my stomach feels like I ate that much! I gotta start watching all the dessert and random food intake.....I am going to blame it all on Stephanie....I mean Bethany. It's her fault...I was fine until she started working here...so it's all her fault that I have NO self control..... :) Finished another book...starting another today. Gotta clip the dogs toenails, make supper, shower, find my laundry detergent, and pick up a little tonight. Hopefully I can get in bed in a timely fashion tonight.....I GOTTA get more sleep....I feel like a walking zombie! And I am cold....so that doesn't help in the "staying alert" factor .....alright...well....gonna knock out the last little bit of the billing and then start on all the other wonderful things that I have to do at work today.....NEED SOME YOGURT!

Well, today was a different kind of day......got up early and went to work as usual, no change there, well I did wear a dress, heels, and dangly earrings.....but we had a funeral to go to. Ronnie's granny died Sunday night. I wasn't really close to her, but Ronnie was. He basically was raised by her in a sense. I know that it was hard for him to lose her. It was hard for me only because I knew that he was hurting over it.....plus she has been my granny too for the past 3 years....almost 4. But she will be missed and thought of often. :) Anyways, then we went out to eat after and did the family stuff. And here I am back at work. Dad didn't want Bethany to go to lunch until I got back so that there would be someone at the front desk at all times.....well I didn't know that and I didn't get back until 4:15.....I felt soooooo bad! Had I known that he wasn't gonna let her leave, I would have skipped the meal situation! SORRY STEPHANIE!!!!!!!.....I mean Bethany :) Anyways...OK, now that the funeral is out of the way, we have GOT to get everything packed and moved in our house. We are down to the nitty gritty of all the closets and cabinets and random spots....which of course are the most unpleasant things to go through and pack up. So REALLY looking forward to THAT mess to do! The only part that sounds appealing is the fact that my OCD is telling me that everything is getting sorted through and cleaned out....which I am ALWAYS in favor of. BUT, it is suppose to rain this weekend.....I mean, seriously.....I haven't had a garage sale in like 10 years or more and the ONE Saturday that I choose to do one, and IT IS SUPPOSE TO RAIN! I mean, I cant argue since I am the loudest person always saying that everything happens for a reason...but this is just stupid...who cares about grass and trees and water.....NOT ME.....just kidding....I know...rain is good....but only when I am sleeping do I enjoy it....otherwise, it takes away the sunshine, and makes me super tired and draggy-like. But WHATEVER.....alright, well I gotta get back to the slave driving job here at Encore Multimedia......BLAH! jk dad......LOVE IT....completely LOVE IT! TTYL

Well, no yogurt for me today. MY MOM was TOO busy to take me! GEEZ! I mean.......what is more important than quality time with your daughter! :) Anyways.....I am on lunch break with NOTHING to do because Ronnie is in Garland doing something with Josh that is work related and then mama WAS TOO BUSY!!!!!!!!! I guess that I will go read my book....I wish that Walgreens was close enough to walk to....I would totally hit that place up! Or Taco Bueno......oooooooo.....even better! I mean, if The Butcher Shop was close enough, man, that bakery......my hiney would be HUGE! I mean, those sugar cookies and cinnamon rolls!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Heaven!!!!!! Gotta move tonight.....or pack......one of the 2 and really BOTH! Plus we are going over to my parents to eat stir fry....yum! So excited about that situation. Funeral tomorrow though.....bummer.....Ronnie's granny died Sunday evening. So we have her funeral tomorrow. I dislike funerals very much. Did I mention that I am super tired and am about the fall over?....cuz if I didn't....I am really tired and am about to fall over! :) Alright....well I have a lot to do today so I am keeping today's post short and sweet....TTYL

In a few minutes, it will be 9 oh-9 9-9-oh 9!!!! ha ha ha ha!!!!

Well now....it is already Tuesday.....where the flagnog did Monday go and why didn't I see it?!?!?!?!?! :) STILL reading the 3rd book in the series....slow poke....yeah I know...WHO CARES JEFFREY....I LOVE LETTUCE! I can't help it if I am not as perfect and smart and talented as Sarah and Jeffrey.....GET OVER IT! Today was super busy....soooooo much to do at work and then I am moving too! GEEZ! And a garage sale on Saturday morning! GEEZ! When am I going to have time to sleep or eat or eat or sleep...OR READ! I guess that I will just have to starve myself and work like a dog! Woof......Today was Sarah's first working day from Houston....sniff sniff.....sniff sniff sniff....come back to me SARAH! Who is going to laugh at all my ridiculous jokes....oh hey there STEPHANIE....I mean BETHANY! Where did you come from? Itty bitty Blondie land of randomness I bet...... :) Usually I sing the "It's 5:00 Somewhere" song in my head when it gets close to going home time....but HEY....IT'S 5:00 HERE!!!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peanut butter and Chocolate yogurt at the deli today.... yum yum eat em up I think I'm in LOVE! So my husband and my brother decide that they want to try cheerleading with me yesterday....and their grand idea was to throw me up in the air and catch me....and how many of you think that I actually allowed myself to trust 2 boneheads to catch me......NONE OF YOU BETTER THINK THAT I AM THAT RETARDED! Cuz I didn't....we did one "practice" and I realized that my bones and memory are WAAAAAAAAAY too important to me to allow that sort of torture on such a sunny day! My mama took pictures...I gotta get them from her and post them on here....pretty funny. Scooby got his 2nd shot this morning....him was a big boy and didn't cry! Him gained 1 whole pound! Him weighs 2.8 lbs now! AWWWWWWWWW! Anyways.....ok well I gotta gear myself up for this moving that is about to go on this evening......gonna go do some push ups and then run the stairs a few times.......SHARK BAIT OO HA HA!

OK, so it's finally Friday....AND, I have a pinched nerve or something in my neck. I am in SOOOOOOO much pain! I can barely move! But it is Sarah's last day here in Longview and I wanted to see her...plus I made cupcakes for her....AND I have stuff that I needed to do here at work anyways....blah. I need to be at home laying down or something.....I can barely sit here cuz it hurts so bad! Anyways.....I haven't read at all this week. Not since I finished the Something Blue book. I have been packing every night if have I any free time. I am sort of almost done....not really though. I just don't want to make my house look completely bare while I am still living there.....too sad. I need to pack up all the vases and pictures and stuff. I need to go out to the shop in Diana and clean and clear out places for the stuff that we are going to bring with us. Plus I need to see what I want to bring out there so that I can pack up everything else! AHHHHHH! And I still need more newspaper!!!!!!!!!! I am basically done with everything that I am packing up in the kitchen. Now I need to work on the study and the spare room with the piano in it. Ronnie said that him and Geoff are going to move some stuff today into storage.....we will see if THAT actually happens! :) Pistachio and Toasted Coconut yogurt today at It'll Do Deli....my absolute FAVORITE! The garage sale is next Saturday.....I just don't want to price everything...that just seems like a nightmare if you ask me! Plus waking up early on a Saturday morning....SHOOT ME! Oh well.....hopefully I will sell everything and make a million dollars and then I can stop working!!!!! JK...LOL......alright....well I better get some stuff done. TTYL

Well, it's almost Friday! WHOO HOO! However, I think that I may be getting sick due to the change in the weather or something like that. I am freezing....which I never am, and my throat hurts.....so there you have it. Plus I feel just really run down, maybe just lack of sleep causing all this. Who knows. I DO know that I really want a sandwich from It'll Do Deli today for lunch though.....along with Strawberry yogurt of course! I gotta get more newspapers so that I can continue my packing situation that I have going on right now. I ran out of newspaper within the first hour of packing last night.....like maybe 4 boxes. I have been working on the kitchen, which seems to be the biggest task in my mind. Plus my OCD that I have with organization seems to be making me overwhelmed because I keep trying to group everything together....like all the vases and then all the candle holders.....maybe that isn't OCD.....now that I type it out, it sounds like just being smart and thinking ahead. :) OK then....I will continue....speaking of vases.....crap, I need bigger boxes! I don't think there is enough newspaper in the WORLD to be able to wrap all my vases good enough so that they won't break! Oh well....I am trying to also think ahead as to how I will want to decorate our new house....wherever that may be....because I wanna do it more modern and minimal. Maybe I will just decorate it like a bakery....cuz all I can think about right now are the cupcakes that I am gonna make tonight. YUM! OK, so I have to give the dogs a bath, wash their bedding, wash towels, finish clothing laundry, sweep, vacuum, AND pack on top of all that! I am sure there will be other little tasks here and there that will keep me off of my major goals! Geez....alright, well, sorry for the boring blog everyone.....well, all 2 of you :) Lunch is almost done....ttyl

Well, it's Wednesday, 1:00pm, which means that the day is halfway done for work AND mama is fixing to pick me up to go get yogurt from It'll Do Deli! WHOOOOO HOOOO!!!!!! They are having chocolate and butter pecan....disgusting, I know...I am dreading it...YEAH FREAKING RIGHT! Anyways...so I started packing last night....only got like 8 boxes of kitchen stuff, then ran out of newspaper and packing tape! You would think that I would have been a little better prepared....but NOOOOOO! So I got more of each and am ready to hit it full force tonight! Gotta go by walmart and get some more plastic tubs with lids for the stuff that I am not putting in storage.....you know, like bathroom stuff, laundry stuff, pots and pans, dog and cat stuff.......blah blah blah. Anyways...so the perfume that I said that I like yesterday WAS Fancy Love.....super good smelling....very recommended. OH! And I gotta get cupcake papers and coconut for the cupcakes that I am making for work Friday. I really do not have anything exciting to say today in this here blog. What is WRONG with me! Maybe something exciting will happen at lunch today. I know what the problem is.....I didn't get donut holes this morning.....that sets the whole day's tone! Crap....I set myself up for failure today and didn't even think twice! Well I did drive down McCann instead of Judson on the way to work which made me miss the donut place...we will blame it on that. I also have a long flowy dress on today that is a tube top and then I have on 4 inch heels.....there is BOUND to be some excitement to come out of this outfit today! This outfit, mixed with stairs, and my graceful nature....WATCH OUT NOW!

OK, seriously.....today is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long!
I mean, it should have been 5:30 HOURS AGO! I don't know what the deal is! Anyways....so I am planning on making lemon cupcakes with strawberry icing.....need to think of something that would be easy to put on the top....or a topping that would be unique and very tasty...I am thinking coconut and dots. Or whatever.....still gotta start packing....I don't know why, but I am dreading AND looking forward to it all in the same emotion....yeah, I AM weird...SO WHAT! YER MOM! I guess that I am going to make spaghetti tonight for supper. I love spaghetti! It'll Do Deli had Swiss Cocoa Cream and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut yogurt today.....SUPER GOOD YUMMY TO MY TUMMY! Is it bad that they know me by name now....I mean, maybe I should just invest stock in the place or prepay for each week or make them godparents of my future children that I am NOT going have to anytime soon..... :) I will end my Tuesday blog with my "Likes, Dislikes, & Daily Discoveries"...I think that I will add a new list to my blog and keep a running total so that when I win the lottery one day....I can go buy all the things that I can't live without or remember what they were :) OK!

Daily Likes: Swiss Cocoa Cream and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut yogurt, Seaside sandwich with no mayo, donut holes for breakfast, the new Imogen Heap CD, Bethany's Britney Spears cardigan, my skirt that I wore today that I didn't know I had in my closet, Nilla's birthday, and of course 5:30 :)

Daily Dislikes: when my alarm went off this morning, when I had to clean poop out of Scooby's litter box, the smell of Ocean white fish soft kitten food, when my lunch break ended, when I reached the bottom of my yogurt from It'll Do Deli, and hassling Dan for billing

Daily Discoveries: Jessica Simpson's new perfume Fancy Love (I think)....OMG! Smells soooo good! Like classic Burberry (my personal all time fav!) and roses or something like that.....SUPER good, will be my next perfume purchase~!

OK, so today is my dog Nilla's birthday! HIP HIP HOORAY! Her is 7! Old fart! :) I wuv her! Anyways....so it's Tuesday. Nothing exciting happened...OH WAIT! YES IT DID! I got donut holes this morning! Hold me back! Busting out of that shell! Go me, go me, go me! I mean, seriously, what a daring thing for such a morning! I am exhausted from all the excitement already! OK, I will stop the nonsense....really I will. So I have a VERY exciting week ahead of me....I have to start packing. Yep, you heard me right....packing. Stupid packing in stupid boxes. We rented a storage unit and we gotta start filling it up. I don't wanna! Oh well....life goes on. And I am putting everything that I don't want to come with me to our new house in a garage sale that Patti Coleman is having. Maybe I will make bookoos of money and be able to buy the Louis Vuitton iphone case and a new wallet.....or maybe a few items from Anthropologie.....or a month's supply of Orange Cup yogurt....geez....the possibilities are ENDLESS! I am excited already! AND my tummy hurts....stupid donut holes.....
Bethany just showed me a website called Etsy.com.......seriously, super cute.....SINCE I am at work, after business hours (dad, in case you are reading) I will check that hoopla out! Love it! Another exciting thing.....Ronnie is gonna set up his bike for me so that I can go mountain biking/ road biking with him! Did you just ask me if I realize the strenuous activity that sport involves?!?!?!?!?! Well of course I realize that! That is why I am only going to ride around the parking lot a couple of times and then wait for him to finish :) Alright, well it is time to get the mail for work and then check It'll Do Deli to see what the yogurt flavors are for today...AHHHHH
