Tidbits from Grayce

"A calm sea, does not make for a skillful sailor."

1- Do not EVER try to go to sleep without my sleep aid.....cuz sleep ain't happenin without it!

2- 2 hrs of sleep because of item #1 is NOT cutting it today.

3- No matter how talented I think that I am.....DO NOT attempt to fix my own eyelash extensions.

4- Always set an alarm when laying outside in the sun so you don't fall asleep on one side.

5- I CAN survive without dessert 24/7....barely.....

6- Just because the book is a free download on your Kindle, does NOT make it a good idea to read.

Eclipse opening in a month- CHECK!
Ready to go see it- CHECK!
Group of girls already have the day planned- CHECK!
Eclipse tickets already paid for- CHECK!
Eclipse tickets in wallet- CHECK!
Guarding wallet for dear life- CHECK!

2 things: Zoey has diabetes so now I have to give her a shot twice a day......and I am getting sick.
BAHHUMBUG!

Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, please no bags. And please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, please no gray. As for my belly, please take it away.
Please keep me healthy, please keep me young.
And thank you dear Lord for all you've done!

One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob: "If we don't get some support soon, people will think we are nuts!"

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house AND has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.

4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.

5. It is important that these 4 men don't know each other.

BAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Well here comes the weekend!!!!!!! FINALLY! I am going to get Baylee when I get off work today in Canton. Ronnie can't come home, so it will just be me and her! We are gonna stop at Cracker Barrel on the way home and eat supper with Christia and Tyler. Then on to the big city of Diana....where we call home! :)

Saturday....I don't know what we are going to do Saturday. If it is sunny, probably just hang around the house and let the dogs roam outside. I took the cone of shame off of Zoey last night and haven't put it back on. I think that she is healed enough to not need to wear it anymore! I am sooooo glad! She is sooooo skinny now! Her is ready for bikini season! :)

Sunday is mother's day.....I will probably have to take Baylee back before lunch, then head back home. I am sure that we will go eat lunch for mother's day. Don't know what else we will do. The possibilities are endless!

I sure hope it is sunny this weekend! I hate dreary weekends.....makes me sad. :( And it isn't looking good so far....not a lick of sunshine yet.....

Thanks Stia and Tywoo for my grprize! I love it!~

1) I think part of a best friend's job is to immediately erase your computer history if you die.
2) Nothing sucks more than the moment during an argument when you realize you are wrong.
3) I totally take back all those times I didn't want to take a nap when I was younger.
4) There is a great need for a sarcasm font.
5) How in the heck are you suppose to fold a fitted sheet.
6) Was learning cursive really necessary.
7) GPS really needs to start with direction #5, cuz I am pretty sure that I know how to get out of my own neighborhood.
8)Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9) I can't remember the last time that I wasn't at least sort of tired.
10) Bad decisions make great stories.
11) There comes a moment at work when you realize that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12) Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-ray? I really don't want to start my collection over....again.
13) I am always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save changes to the super long paper that I am working on, when I swear I didn't make any changes to begin with.
14) "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means that I will never wash this....EVER.
15) I keep some people's numbers in my phone so that I know not to answer them.
16) I think that the freezer deserves a light too.
17) I disagree with Kay Jewelers....I am willing to bet that more kisses on a Friday or Saturday night begin with Miller Light or Bud Light, not Kay.
18) I wish google maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
19) Sometimes when I watch a movie from when I was younger, I realize that I had NO CLUE what was really going way back when.
20) I would rather carry 10 bags with each hand then to make 2 trips to bring all the groceries in.
21) The only time that I look forward to a red light is when I am trying to finish a text.
22) I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
23) I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front of the line. Stay strong brothers and sisters!
24) Shirts get dirty. Underwear get dirty. But pants....you can wear them forever!
25) Is it just me, or do high school kids get dumber every year?
26) There is no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

My puppies are doing soooooo much better! All of Nilla's stitches are out now. She basically looks like nothing ever happened to her. Zoey is healing really quickly! She still has to wear the cone of shame.....and she still has stitches....and I still have to clean her head twice a day....it is still gross and makes me gag. But I can tell that the spots are getting smaller and smaller....I bet in 2 weeks, she wont have to wear the cone of shame anymore! Hip hip hooray!

Well weekend is over.......BOO HOO!!!!!

Friday night: concert...it was FUUUUUUN! I love me some Miranda Lambert! And some Jamie Payne (my friend that I went with) We got matching hats...super cute....and super convenient for bad or dirty hair days!!!!!!

Saturday: shopping in Dallas!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO! I got Orange Cup TWICE!...would have gotten more....but they already thought that I was nuts for going twice!....then again....they think that I am nuts 24/7 anyways.....I should have gotten more...DANG IT! Love the new Louis Vuitton store....would love it more if I was able to walk out of there with a new purse......I did pick out the new purse that I want....wait....NEED, the new purse that I need! :) Hi Runny...I love you!!!!!! I had a really good time with my girlfriends.....we have decided to have a girls night at least once a month.....I am game!
Ronnie got to come home Saturday...he had to leave this morning when I left for work. It is always so hard on me for him to leave again. I am sure that it is hard for him too.....but at least I didn't cry in front of Ronnie this time.....I think it is harder on him when I cry....so I sucked it up and didn't cry until I got in the car. I am such a big girl now! :)

Anyways.....weekend was great! I am sad that it is Monday.....but I am glad that it is sunny and I hoping for a full week of sunshine!!!!
I do however, have 2 questions............Questions #1:


Question #2:

Friday night: Miranda Lambert concert with Jamie!!!!!
Saturday: shopping in Dallas with Jamie, Hogie, and Kristie
Sunday: go to Tyler to see Christia and Tywoo!!!!!
Monday: back to work.....poo.....

Mystery #1- How in the heck do I mutilate my toothbrush so quickly........
Mystery #2- Why is it that when I eat breakfast, I get hungry quicker, and when I don't eat breakfast, I don't get hungry til lunchtime....

Newest diet fad in my house.....cleaning Zoey's wounds before eating......

Well Hills fans....tonight is the night......final season starts tonight....I don't know whether to be happy or upset.....

Well it's Friday.....FINALLY! Good grief....how slow are you FRIDAY?!?!?!?!?!?! I wait all week for you and it seems like you are never close enough! But you are here and I love you!

My friend Aja from Oklahoma surprised me today and we went to lunch! It was good to see her! I miss her sooooooo much!

Ronnie can't come home this weekend :( I am VERY upset about that......I guess in the back of my mind....I was just assuming that he was gonna be able to come home for a day at least....BUT OF COURSE NOT! I think that he gets his first paycheck today.....this will be interesting.....

I get to sleep in tomorrow! YEAAAAAAA! You have no clue how THANKFUL that I am for that! It feels like I get NO SLEEP.....today was SUPER TIRED DAY, thanks to Needy Nilla. I have to have my arm around her and the blanket over her...otherwise she sits there and stares at me...which wakes me up....cuz staring is loud you know! Zoey is starting to rip open stitches on her face because it is itching....poor little lamb! I may stop and get her a cone....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just don't want her to be uncomfortable! Well, I guess a cone is better than an open wound that won't heal because she keeps scratching it.....ok ok ok.....I will get her a retarded cone and I promise to take lots of embarrassing pictures of her and post them :)

I am gonna do laundry, wash bedding, maybe take some stuff to storage...if it will stop raining..... and hopefully finish this shirt that I have been sewing buttons on for decoration! I am 1/4 of the way done.....I think.....I am sure that I will want to put more somewhere and then never get to finish it! I may go to Tyler to see Christia and Tyler tomorrow and maybe eat with them.....depending on their plans and if it is raining or not.... If I do go, Christa, Jeff's "Boo" as he calls her, are gonna TP (toilet paper) Jeff's back porch on his apartment since he is going to Galveston for a race this weekend and gets to go to the beach. We don't think that is very fair.....so we are retaliating in this way..... :) We are going to wear ski masks and take pictures....gay ol' time we will have! And if I go to Tyler, I will HAVE to make a stop at Cafe Tazza to get at least ONE cookie....TDF (to die for)! I don't even know what is in the cookies and don't really care...I just know where they are going....IN MY BELLY and then STRAIGHT TO MY ASS! hahahahahahahaah!

Ok all....have a great weekend.....no doggy fights this weekend.....or I will have one dead dog and another that is grounded for LIFE!

Status: currently starting hour number 2 on being locked out of the house......dumb door

Well I took my little fighting champion doggies to the vet today for a checkup. Zoey's face swelling has gone down A TON and she is almost recognizable now. She is still having trouble breathing because of all the swelling. Her poor little nose skin was splitting because it was swelling so much! Poor little lamb.....anyways....Zoey has lost 8 pounds...that isn't good.....but she really isn't eating...so I gotta watch that...along with everything else! She is healing good though. Nilla is basically fine. I mean other than the stitches that she does have. Her chest is healing good and she doesn't have to wear the gauze, or as I called it "her purple tank top", anymore. Her legs are still swollen, but half the size they were, so I still tell her she has KANKLES! Anyways, I gotta take them both back in a few weeks for their annual checkup and shots...plus just checking on their progress...or really poor little Zoey's progress! When I woke up this morning, Zoey was wagging her tail and giving me kisses....so I knew she was going to be fine :) They are now sitting here licking each other...I mean seriously.....you try to kill each other and then love on each other....gimmee a break! I mean, not like I was wanting them to continue to fight, but you can't do that....literally disfigure the other one and then, pretend it never happened. They should be GROUNDED! Bad puppies. But I love them dearly!

My doggies got in a really bad fight Saturday night and almost killed each other. Please pray that they will heal quickly with no complications and minimal scarring. Thanks.

Ok, so I just answered a phone call at work. I would like to let you in on this:

Grayce: Encore Multimedia, this is Grayce, how can I help you?
Caller: Can I ask you a few computer questions?
Grayce: I can try to help you.
Caller: Ok, I work at night and my old lady works during the day....I want to be able to get on the internet, and, you know, PLAY, without my old lady finding out.
Grayce: Are you kidding me right now? This is so inappropriate.
Caller: I want to be able to get into chat rooms and play around. How do I erase the history so that she doesn't find out? What do you suggest that i Do?
Grayce: I suggest you find Jesus, repent, hope your wife doesn't divorce you, and never EVER call here again.
CLICK.

Tuesday: Ronnie leave again for who knows how long
Wednesday: funeral for Jeff's roommate
Thursday: parents and Jeff leave til Sunday
Friday: at least tomorrow is Saturday
Saturday: storms, no sunshine
Sunday: tomorrow is Monday, need I say more?

Well this weekend was interestingly hard and unpleasant. Ronnie was here....which was the ONLY good thing about it! My brother got back from running errands to his apartment after lunch on Saturday and found his roommate, Taylor Stephenson, dead on the couch. Same thing that happened to Dustin. Obviously, they won't know for sure until the autopsy results come back. I feel so bad for Jeffrey. There is NOTHING like having that happen to you. There is NOTHING like finding that. You will NEVER get rid of that picture in your mind. You NEVER forget how that body feels. Anyways, I left right away when mama called me and drove to Tyler. Jeffrey had to go tell his parents. I got to their apartment as they were carrying out his body. Talk about ripping open a wound and making me feel like I was 4 1/2 years back to my situation. THAT was hard. Even though I am not emtionally connected to Dustin anymore, that situation is still something that I will never be able to erase....all the pain and emotional everything will probably always be there. I never thought that I would have to be in another similar situation like that. I just can't believe that both Jeffrey and I have had to do that. Same situation....another crazy thing: Jeff will be 23 this week, which is the same age that I was when that happened to me. I mean, millions, BILLIONS of people go through life and this is never something that they go through.....and it happened to BOTH Jeff and I. I just think that is the most crazy thing ever. Maybe this is why it happened to me.....so that I can help Jeff deal with it. If that is why, then I would do it all over again because it makes it worth all the pain. Jeff did tell me that the way that I handled my situation helped him know how he needed to handle his. Funeral will probably be Wednesday with a viewing on Tuesday night. I do need strength to get through those 2 things. I will keep you posted on everything.

Well, my mama had to make a very hard decision today. Her cat, Joe, has been really sick and we didn't know why. He as lost a lot of weight and hasn't been eating or drinking. She took him to the vet and he has diabetes. Complicated diabetes. Even with insulin, they don't know if he would make it very long because he is so sick. We have to have him put to sleep. I feel so bad for mama. That is HER kitty. I wouldn't be able to function if that was my kitty or one of my doggies. Even though Joe wasn't my most favorite kitty, I still love him and pet and talk to him every time that I see him. Life around my parents house is DEFINATELY gonna be different without Joe....him has pants.....Joe has pants.....(inside joke) WE LOVE YOU SHO-SHO!

Well I am well enough today to go to work....um, yea?...ha! My tummy still hurts.....but I am a big girl today! Of course I had to be sick on the day that it was cloudy and raining.....why can't I be sick on the days that are sunny are perfect for laying out.....like today! Story of my life.

Ronnie is still gone....he drives from south Houston all the way to Bossier City (which is an hour from here) and then has to turn around and go RIGHT BACK TO SOUTH HOUSTON! He doesn't have time to come over here to see me! Totally sucks! But he misses me....which is a good thing! :)

I have my eyelash appointment for a touch up today at 5:30....excited about that! I love these things!

Bethany and I are going to Ulta at lunch. I gotta get new perfume for me and cologne for Ronald....I love getting to smell different! I think that I am gonna go for either Gucci or Light Blue....it is a toss up...OH, I do like that new Marc Jacobs called Lola....who knows....


Is this thing not the cutest thing EVER?!?!?!?!?!?! My mama...I mean the EASTER BUNNY put it in my Easter basket for me.....however....my mom took a pic of this when she was in Nebraska cuz it was so cute....her and the Easter Bunny must be tight.....

Ugh! Stomach cramps SUCK! I mean, I am glad that I am not a man, but sometimes I hate being a woman!

Well, today marks day 2 of Ronnie being gone....I don't like this. I am a sissy. But whatever....I don't care! I miss him and want him to come home! He is in Houston waiting to take a load....he may be bringing one back to Longview.....he says that no one knows anything until the second of basically. But we stocked his truck up with good snacks and he has a 26 inch TV and an XBox in there for entertainment.....he should be good :) He says that the truck stop that they are stopped at when they aren't taking a load has nice showers and has a McDonald's and a Subway.....what more could you ask for!....other than ME of course :)

I had to wear my Encore Polo today to work because we have a client coming in.....I have had 3 people stop and ask me if I was feeling alright since I had plain clothes on today! Guess I am doing a fine job of accessorizing like a S.O.B (that one's for you Bethany!)!

Weather is dreary here....which means that I won't daydream as much. If it is sunny, I feel like I am being tortured to work indoors as opposed to being outside laying out which is my TRUE calling in life :)

Saving my money for a new Louis Vuitton and wallet.....BUT NOT BEOFRE I PAY YOU BACK DAD.....just in case you read this and start thinking whatever you usually think.....

Alright, well back to the drawing board....it is almost lunch time. I am not eating past 7pm or eating candy or donuts.....this is torture! And no random snacks unless they are justified....like fruit. Sucky sucky! I want a DONUT!!!!!!! AND THEY ARE ON THE BACK TABLE!!!!!! Step away from the donuts Grayce....your fat hiney says so.....and so does your muffin top! GAW!

Ok, this lady that is a client of ours at work, just asked if I was in high school......I don't know whether to be offended or complimented.....

I just ate a bowl of Cupcake Pebbles.......omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg....

I am going to sign Scooby up for Cat of the day! This is one of the photos that I am submitting.....he was in his carrier cuz he was in trouble for tormenting the other cats at my parents!

Sometimes the video won't show up that I posted below......if it doesn't show up.....just click on the title.

Check out this dog! HILARIOUS!

I love the comedian Jim Gaffigan.....he is HILARIOUS! If you don't have any of his cd's, YOU NEED THEM! Anways....I have been listening to him at work the last 2 days. Here is a section from his cd called "Beyond the Pale" and the title is perfectly named "Cake": "My favorite dessert is cake. Everyone knows that cake is bad for you. People even try to disguise the fact that they are eating cake. Let's see...what do I want for breakfast....I will have a muffin. A muffin is a bald cupcake!"

Ok, so since I have a bad cold still, and I can't really taste anything 100%, I think that it doesn't count. Hence my food consumption for today: cereal, water, cookies, easter candy, potato chips, frozen yogurt, starbucks....and the day is still young!
