Tidbits from Grayce

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSB-5Nnw9rU

Ok, so I ask myself..."How does one get soooooo lost trying to find a grocery store, when that one has an iphone and navigation in their spaceship car?" Well, here is my answer.....I have no freaking clue....but I did it....yes I did....yessir I did it. I should call the Guiness Book of Records or something....cuz I am pretty sure that I set a record tonight on how long someone can get lost trying to find a grocery store....when CLEARLY there is basically one every few blocks. Yeah I don't know either....I need to just go to bed......

Well, since moving, I feel like I have had NO time for anything....other than traveling back to Longview to work, trying to spend every second with Ronnie when he is in town every few weeks, giving dog baths, and trying to keep Scoob out of everything. This last month has been NUTS! Moving, trying to unpack, load up the dogs, drive to Longview, work work work work work work work, load the dogs back up, drive back to Dallas, work work work work work, unpack more boxes, sleep in (hopefully), get PINKBERRY that is down the street from my house (YESSSSS!), aaaaaaaaaaaaaand unpack some more....then REPEAT!

I have totally been dropping the ball on tidbitting....completely, like I should just delete my blog and never do it again....JUST KIDDING....don't panic my loyal followers, no worries!

I think that Ronnie may get to come home tomorrow...which is great! That is like 3 days early! He was gonna come home Tuesday or Wednesday for Thanksgiving, but Sunday is much better! We are getting Baylee on Wednesday, so I will get to see Ronnie for a few days by myself so we can spend some much needed time together...

Thanksgiving is this week, which means that I gotta break out the Christmas stuff and put up the tree. Ugh...that means MORE boxes to fish out and unpack! That does NOT sound fun right now. I may wait and do that next week sometime, or even next weekend when I feel like I have a little more set up in the house. I really wanna get a black Christmas tree....yes black...sounds gloomy....but so classy and sheik looking! I should look on ebay....I am sure that they are expensive though.....

I got some paint today, and I kid you not, it is the color of the Grinch who stole Christmas. Yes, that bright, booger green color.....and I LOVE IT! I am painting a wall in my bedroom that color, the wall with my bed on it! I also painted a square in my bathroom that I am hanging a picture on.....I think I may paint a little above the toilet.....but I gotta decide what I want to go on that wall before I just start painting it. I think that I may do 2 colors on that wall....like a medium gray and the Grinch green.....like overlapping squares...that would be neat.

I watched Charlie St Cloud tonight....wasn't too impressed with it.....yes, I did cry on certain parts, buuuuuuut...overall, wasn't too impressed.

I FINALLY got my nightstands that I have been obsessing over for like 2 months...the mirrored ones, well really they are end tables, but they are PERFECT for my bedroom as night stands. I have so many ideas floating around in my head for what I want the decor in this house to look like. And they include: the grinch green, mirrored furniture, silver, copper, black and white damask print, chocolate brown....is any of this making sense? Cuz it all just sounds EXPENSIVE to me...like I gotta start all over and get new stuff. Don't panic Ronnie, I didn't say that I was going to do it...I said that they were ideas floating around. I do know that I wanna get rid of all the vases and the deep red color...done with that.

Christmas is coming up...I already have Ronnie's present...no I cannot divulge what it is to you, because sometimes, he says that he reads this....so NO RONNIE, I am not telling you what it is and you will never guess what it is! All I know that I want is LASIK, no, make that a need, not a want....but that is a bit steep.....so I will settle for stuff from Anthropologie, a make-up case from Sephora, a super nice set of make-up brushes, BUUUUUUT, I will just make it easy....one thing....only ONE item that really would make my day, night, morning, afternoon, blah blah blah....and that one item is.....drum roll please.......an Artsy Louis Vuitton purse. See, that doesn't sound difficult, just one thing! So Ronnie, if you are listening, I mean reading....you should have NO questions! :) JK LOL....I also like sweet potato french fries and pinkberry..... :)

Ok it's late, and I gotta get up before noon tomorrow....well, actually today.....so I gotta go watch a little TV to reach my American quota of hours watched everyday! GOOD NIGHT NEVERLAND!

STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS! YESSSSSSSSS!

Well, they didn't say that she is near death....so that is about the only good thing from this visit. Mama said that the doctor told us that we are losing the battle on diabetes. She also has a lot of blood in her pee. He said that she either has a severe bladder infection or she has bladder cancer. If it is the infection, then she will start to get better by Thursday with the antibiotic that we are giving her. If she doesn't get better, then we have to take her back Friday for an x-ray to see if it is cancer or not. He didn't say how long he thought that she had or anything (unless my mom is sparing me the news), but mama told him that we don't want her to suffer AT ALL and to please let us know the second that they suspect that......
Special thanks to mama for taking her.....I really appreciate it mama....and I know that Zoey does too.....we love you!

Zoey is at the vet right now with my mama......pray that we get a good report.....I am so nervous.....Zo-Zo.....

Here are a few photos from our girls trip to Dallas a few weeks back!!!!! Yes...I am slow....
$3000 shoe at Neiman Marcus!
The cupcake they have when you walk into Dimples Cupcakes!!!!
My car when we were fixing to head home!
Me OH SO HAPPY cuz I am fixing to eat PINKBERRY!
Yes...cleavage cupcakes....no I am not sure......

Ok, so I lied to you all. I promised that I would blog last weekend......aaaaaaand I didn't. Of course, I had EVERY intention of blogging....HOWEVER....I didn't realize that we didn't have internet at our new house yet.....so I opened my computer on Saturday ready to have at it....and no internet....SORRY!

I will do it this weekend, I PROMISE! I need to take pics of our new house to show! Of course, I do NOT have it put together AT ALL....but I do have pathways in every room so that Zoey can find her way around! Poor little lamb!......

I do have a few pics and comments to share now that I have time for! So here goes!......
This is my favorite author.....Jodi Picoult! For my birthday, my brother wrote her a letter and asked her to send me an autographed picture for my birthday! AND SHE DID! How cool it that!!!!
This is Cooper.....my best friend Hogie's little boy and her husband Colby! Cooper was a pumpkin for halloween! Isn't he the cutest little pumpkin you ever did see?!?!?!?! They were the people on the front page of the paper that I blogged about a few weeks back too.....

Here is Scooby....sleeping in my lap on the way back to Dallas. Don't let him fool you.....he walks around the car meowing for the first hour and a half and then settles down for the last 30 minutes and sleeps.....yes everytime I go back to Dallas and everytime I am coming to Longview.....but him is still my sweetie pie!
Ok so funny story about the Boogie Wipes photo.....Ronnie and I are at a walgreens in Dallas on the way home. We are at the register and he turns around to look at all the little stuff at the register that they try to get you to buy last minute and he sees these.....and I quote.... "OH MY GOSH! Babe I need those so bad! That is what I need! See! Feel my nose right here! It's so sensitive!" Thought I was going to die laughing right there....

You know that you have stooped to an all time low when: you grab a handful of candy knowing that you are only gonna eat one, so that you don' t have to get up in an hour to get another one.....um, big ol booty anyone? yeah....right here!

I have not forgotten about blogging.....I have been sooooo super busy since my birthday, that I haven't even had time to do, well, ANYTHING! I will try to update and post pics of my last few weeks sometime this weekend.

What I will blog about: my move, working market for Johnny Was, my birthday, aaaaaaand the puppy that I rescued!

LIBRA:
Try not to worry too much about your time-wasting today -- it's much more productive than you (or your boss) may think! In fact, you're exploring new territory that might be ripe for colonization.

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Right ON!

Quote of the day from Kristie: "If there was a speaker box up in this place, I would be on it....."

PUHLEEEEEEASE read the headline of this news article on the link below!

Missing my fren Stephanie...I mean BETHANY.....her moved to DC....now I am all alone....

Look at what I got today from my friend Michelle that I work with!!!!!! Early birthday gifts!!! Whoo hoo!!!!!!! Large and in charge bracelet and the super cute jumbo cupcake!!!!!!! Sanks Michelle my bell!

One of my best good friends Hogie called me last weekend and said that her husband and little boy were on the front page of the Longview News Journal Sunday paper! They were at a rodeo and snapped this photo of Cooper (little boy) and Colby (her husband)....how adorable!!!!!!!

This was on the wall of a dive restaurant that we ate at this weekend in Fort Worth.....

Yep...there it is....the love of my life.....OH, and Ronnie! HAHAHAHHAHAHA!

One day, Adam sat outside the Garden of Eden shortly after eating the apple and wondered about men and women. So, looking up to the heavens, he said, "Excuse me, God, can I ask you a few questions?"

God replied, "Go on, Adam, but be quick. I have a world to create."

So Adam said, "When you created Eve, why did you make her body so curved and tender unlike mine?"

"I did that, Adam, so that you could love her."

"Oh, well then, why did you give her long, shiny, beautiful hair, and not me?"

"I did that, Adam, so that you could love her."

"Oh, well then, why did you make her so stupid? Certainly not so that I could love her?"

"Well, Adam, no. I did that so that she could love you."

Well Hogie, Kristie, and I went to Canton Saturday....with every intention of eating everything fried and full of fat and cellulite! YESSSSSSSS! Well let me just list all of the items that we all shared: paninis, meat pies (this is was allllll Hogie), ice cream with chocolate and caramel, dr peppers, water, lemonade, sweet tea (not for me!), corn dog, fried oreos, fried twinkies, kettle corn, and oatmeal pecan cookies!!!!! Yeah I said it! No we didn't all eat this individually, we shared.....it was gooooooooood!
The weather was great! It wasn't hot, but with all the people there, it made it crowded, which made it hot! My feet STILL hurt from all the walking! We had a great time though! My parents were there....mom rattled off this list of food that dad had already eaten....and it was only 11:45! Ewwwwwww....
Anyways....we did come to one VERY important conclusion....fried twinkies and waaaaaaay better than a funnel cake any day of the week! Please see the before and after the fried twinkies and oreos pictures!.....



I got a snake ring, a phone cover, a shirt, a hat, and some doggie treats! All I have a picture of is the snake ring....cuz the phone cover is on my phone already...if you saw this phone cover...you would have needed it too! It was in a revolving case with lights on it! I am such a fish...attracted to shiny objects...ridiculous...but it is super cute and I love it! There was sooooo much random stuff there....made you think "what the heck and who the heck wants this?"...or more importantly, "who the heck came up with the idea to make this?"....um....please see the moose picture if you want an example.....

And to finish the day off.....this is what I got as part of some change from my last purchase of the day:

I am totally NOTgonna stop wearing white cuz of some random person that made up the no whiteaftee labor day crap rule....so there! Take that!

Album of the week: Rihanna- Rated R

Happy Birthday to my Nilla Bean! Her is 8 today!!!!!! Big girl! Her growed up fast....and her still has da kindest heart of all da doggies in all da lands.....

"Which way should I go George...which way should I go?....."

OMG.....so I am setting up my new laptop that I got...and I googled my blog so that I could set it as my homepage....and THIS IS WHAT I FLAGNOGGIN FOUND:

"I got a laptop, I got a laptop, I got a laptop hey hey hey hey! I got a LAPTOP, I got a LAPTOP, I got a LAPTOP HEY HEY HEY HEY!" (you gotta sing it like Buckwheat does on Little Rascals when he got a dollar)

Ok, so Dr Pepper was suppose to be included in this whole no sweets binge...yes I should have known this....but WHATEVER! And I subconsciously had a candy bar last night.....I was driving to meet Ronnie in Louisiana and I almost fell asleep driving...so I pulled over and got a candy bar....not thinking...WHOOPSIE! So I just told Kristie that I needed to just start all over cuz I have messed it ALLLLLLLLLL UPPPPP!

Well, thanks to my friend Kristie, somehow I have agreed to go on a 2 week "no sweets" binge with her. How in the heck did I agree to this? Do I not realize that sweets are a necessity in my life?...more like they are the sanity in my life!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED them!

Ok, so after getting up, standing in the mirror in my underwear, then weighing myself, I am pretty sure that do NOT need sweets. In fact, I am pretty sure that I need a "no fatty foods" binge, a "drink water only" binge, a "nothing fried" binge, a "no carb" binge, and a "basically just starve yourself you fatty" binge. UGH! And to think that I was in a bikini at the water park yesterday. WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!?!?!?!??!

So now I would like to apologize to all the people at the water park yesterday....for thinking at that I should still be allowed to wear a bikini in public without a cover up. For thinking that I still have my early twenties figure without flaws...cuz CLEARLY that is no longer the case here. I mean, boobs can't fix everything! UGH!.....

I just got an Orchid Vanilla & Toasted Coconut snow cone.....yum

Going to try Carl's Jr.....thus shizouka better be good!

You can't make yourself happy by bringing misery to other people.

I totally just played a 90 point word on Words with Friends!!!!......on the game with my 10 year old step daughter.....I am going to hell.

1. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills... she has 14 kids but she doesn't really care.

2. One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.

3. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.

4. The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.

5. The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.

6. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends..

7. Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today...

8. Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.

9. I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my panties.

10. Amazing! You hang something in your closet, for a while, and it shrinks 2 sizes!

11. Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' .....Now, I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat.. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!

12. The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing -- and then they marry him.

13. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day

I went to Hastings last night, rented 4 movies and bought a pocket dictionary to learn Italian....what is my problem....I mean really? And yes Ronnie is out of town so I will be watching all 4 movies BY MYSELF while I teach myself how to find out where the pasta and pizza is in ITALIAN! HA! That's how I roll in my free time! Nerdy and Lonely at it's peak in my life.....

Ok, since I love corn....Christa (Jeff's girlfriend) sent this to me....I want to apologize in advance to my mom and aunt Cheryl who won't like the wordage on here......and to HAYSUS....WWJD.....he prob woudn't post this pic....but I bet if the word was different, He would laugh.....

Britney Spears just saved my life. I am driving to work and her song "Radar" came on, and I was like "oh yeah, slow down"...and there was a state trooper!!!!!
