Tidbits from Grayce

I have changed it up!!!!!! It was time.....out with the cupcakes and in with the....whatever you want to call this cute little thing I have created!

"if you're a bird, I'm a bird...."

Hi. My name is Grayce and I am addicted to Orange Cup. It all started a few years back when I was feeding my other addiction....Anthropologie in the North Park Mall.......

Ronnie just finished off his 4th pound of crawfish.......

Sitting outside on the riverwalk in San Antonio with Ronnie enjoying Mexican food....life is good!

I am taking tomorrow and Friday off to go to Midlothian TX and Corpus with Ronnie. I had to kennel the dogs cuz mama is gone and dad is going with Jeff to his race in Waco. I am VERY NERVOUS about Zoey being in there. She is blind and will be scared and no one to sit by her so she feels comfortable. Why do I get this way about my dogs.....well cuz they are my babies! Pray that everything will be ok with all of them while we are gone....they will be in there until Monday....eek.

Things to pack for trip:
-Kindle and Kindle charger
-eye covers
-Edward blanket and pillow
-bikini
-headphones
-sleep aid
-fingernail polish
-iPhone and charger
-snacks and water
...can't think of anything else that I could POSSIBLY need.... :)

SERIOUSLY? I mean, I try to smuggle in a bottle of water since it is over 3oz.....but 18 monkeys.....wow. He wins.

Ok, so every morning, I get a Bible Verse of the Day....this is what today's verse was......

Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have
against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Ok, I don't even know if these guys are new...but I am TOTALLY DIGGING the band Civil Twilight! I am lovin every song!...especially #4 and #5...Coldplay meets Kings of Leon....great combo! Check em out!

Have I mentioned how much I love tortilla soup from Jalapeno Tree? Um cuz I totally do! Hey there tortilla soup....yeah you.....I am talking to you....I LOVE YOU!!!! GET IN MY BELLY!

I think that when you listen to a movie and you know exactly what is going on....um....that means that you have seen that movie WAAAAAAAY too many times. Wait, how did you know that I was talking about Twilight and New Moon....I didn't even give you ANY idea of what I was talking about.....good grief....is my obsession public now or something? Gaw.....

I need a cupcake.

Needing some serious strength and prayer right now....

Well another confession folks.....I saw Eclipse for a 3rd time. Yeah so what.....I liked it....and I will do it again if I want to! SO THERE!

Mindy (from work) has the new iPhone and I am CHOMPING AT THE BIT! This is ridiculous! I can't believe that I do NOT already have it....what is my problem! I did however, update my phone.....so I have the new iPhone software....so I guess that will hold me over until I break down and get one. I can wait....have patience grasshopper.....BUT I WANT A NEW LOUIS VUITTON! UGH!
Ronnie is coming home today.....haven't seen him in 2 weeks.....crazy life now.....going from seeing your husband everyday to every 2 weeks or so is NOT my cup of tea....and I don't even like tea! HA!

Rain rain go away, come again another day...actually....just come at night while I am trying to sleep....seems to work better for everyone that way anyways....

I have a headache. YUCK.
I want sushi. YUM.

Ok funniest thing ever.....this is what my bread bag says.....I am jealous of my bread.....hahaahaha

Well, the wait is finally over! Eclipse is out and I have already seen it twice! Ok confession.....Jamie, Jonna, and I went at 5:00 Tuesday and watched Twilight, then New Moon, then Eclipse! We were in that movie theater in the same seats from 5pm to 2am! That is a freaking long time! My back, knees, and neck hurt! OMG! But I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Eclipse was great! Best one of all 3 definitely! I am torn between Jacob and Edward now! I can't believe it! I was 110% team Edward...until this movie! Now I would say that I am emotionally torn between the 2! AHHHHHH!

We had a great time though! Prob the best time that I have ever had at the movies! And everyone was talking and screaming throughout the movie whenever Jacob would take his shirt off or Edward would have a close-up shot....it was great! Jamie, Jonna, and I were able to laugh and talk and have a great time!

THEEEEEEEEEEEN, I saw it again the next day with Jonna (again), Hogie, Kristie, Kara, and Christia! Loved it just as much!!!!! Yes I am PSYCHO and NO I don't care what you think! I am totally doing it again next year when the next movie comes out.....dang....that is gonna be a looooooong day at the movies.....4 in a row?!?!?!?! I need to start preparing myself now! ha!

Ronnie is out of town....has been since Monday.....ugh.....I hate him being gone so long! I have no plans this weekend....well, other than sleeping and leading a blind dog around :) Poor Dody Doodle!!! Hogie invited me to come with her, Colby, and Cooper to a little get together at the lady's house that she had her baby shower at. I hate flying solo at things though. But I do love me some Hogie and Cooper time! Him is ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!

It's almost here! It's almost here! It's so close I can taste it!!!!!!! TOMORROW AT 4:15 I will be watching ECLIPSE!!!!! I can't believe it! All this patience finally paid off!..not like I really had any other option than to wait....but whatever. Tonight, Jamie, Jonna, and I will be watching Twilight and New Moon back to back at the movies!!!!! WHOO HOO!!! I have my snack bag made! Cashews and M&M's!!!!! YUM!

Ronnie left yesterday morning to go back to work. He came down to see me for our anniversary...which was super sweet of him and meant the world to me. I would rather have effort than an expensive gift ANY day of the week.....unless it is a Louis Vuitton....I mean, love also represents a Louis Vuitton Artsy bag.....JK LOL (sort of joking)

I have started for real working out. I am keeping a food journal....so far so good....I mean, how bad can you mess up the first day! hahahaah....well, I am sure that tonight will pretty much throw it under the rug. I am planning on eating a hot dog and the m&m's and cashews.....but if I prepare ahead of time....I am sure it is acceptable!

Still can't get rid of this snotty runny nose! UGH! I have been taking my medicine and everything!

Nilla still smells like skunk! YUCKY! I mean, it is DEFINITELY not as bad as it was......I gave her 2 baths last night....and she got to sleep on the couch with me and the other zoo animals. She was happy.

It was storming sooooo bad last night! The satellite went out and I had to find other means of entertainment! I mean....good grief! This is AMERICA FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! hahahaha

I totally hit a poor little innocent bunny this morning that was probably going to get food for his family or taking a stroll before the kids woke up....I am scarred for LIFE!

Well, I have been at home sick for the past 2 days. I FINALLY went to the doctor, which took 2 hours of waiting for 30 seconds with a doctor. They just gave me some antibiotics and told me to come back if I am not better by Saturday. I HAD BETTER BE WELL BY FREAKING SATURDAY! I feel no changes yet...still feel like crap.

Now for more exciting things...NILLA GOT FREAKING SPRAYED BY A SKUNK!!!! Shoot me! We have tried every possible remedy for a bath, AAAAAAND she STILL STINKS! There is NOTHING like a skunk smell. I am totally stopped up and I can STILL smell her. Yuck!

I gotta take Zoey to the vet at 7:30 tomorrow morning for them to check her diabetes and run a full blood test something-or-other to tell me if she is doing ok. I have a feeling that there isn't gonna be good news. I can't handle anymore bad news with Zoey. I hate to even think about it...sooooo I am gonna change the subject....

Ronnie is still gone. He has been gone for a week now. I miss him terribly. I hate not seeing him everyday. Makes me sad. In 2 days, it will be 3 years ago that Ronnie and I had our Longview wedding where we actually signed the marriage license. July 1st will be our Mexico wedding date....which is the date that we call our anniversary. Can't believe that it has been 3 years already. Time goes by crazy fast!

Speaking of time flying........Eclipse will be out next Wednesday!!1 WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!

I love you pretzel m&m's! I love you cantaloupe! I love you bright blue nail polish! I love you big floppy straw hat! I love you silk romper! I love you new swim suit from old navy that I haven't worn yet! I love you orange cup! I love you pinkberry! I love you kindle! I love you Edward! I love you google! I love you eBay! I love you cupcakes! I love you bottled water! I love you tortilla soup from Jalapeno Tree! I love you heated and cooled seats in my infiniti! I love you ray bans! I love you Cafe Tazza in Tyler! I love you Anthropologie! I love you bright purple Adidas watch that Jeffrey got me! I love you avocado on almost everything! I love you eyelash extensions! I love you Cover Girl Wet Slicks fruit spritzer lip gloss in guava splash! I love you Louis Vuitton! I love you Netflix! I love you iPhone! I love you sunglasses! I love you donuts! I love you bobby pins! And for everything else that I didn't mention....I LOVE YOU TOO!

Well I took Zoey to the vet this morning for them to take her blood to check her diabetes progress and for them to check out her eyes. She is basically 100% blind and they also told me that she probably has about 2 years left :( Talk about the saddest news EVER! I don't even want to THINK about it! I can't imagine losing Zoey....her is my first doggy and the bestest doggy in the world. I don't remember life without my Zo-Zo....and I don't wanna have to imagine it without her in the future. She will be 9 this year, so I know that she is getting old....but I just hope that they are wrong about that. Breaks my heart to think about it. I gotta take her back at 3:00 today for them to take her blood again and compare the 2. This morning they took it without me giving her insulin to her and then this afternoon they will take it WITH the insulin in her system. She weighs 59 lbs and is holding at that weight which is good. That means that her bloodsugar is most likely regulated almost 100%. My poor puppy. I wuv her.

Well, I have the worst news ever......poor little Zoey.......her is blind. I am sure it is due to her diabetes. I haven't taken her to the vet to confirm, but basically, I don't need a vet to verify this. It's pretty clear that she is. Her eyes are cloudy and she doesn't respond like she should. I have done several things to check and she has failed everything that I have tried. She responds to light...so I am sure that she can see a tiny bit, but only to be able to tell if it is dark or not. My poor Zo-zo. That just makes me so sad....her is still full of life and happy though!

Yeah....tomorrow is National Donut Day! And NO I did NOT make this up! Tomorrow I will post my Ode to Donuts....

Thank you extensions.....for making this possible.....without you, my hair would be short and blah...

Well Ronnie finally had to go back to work......he left last night. :( No good. I got use to having him here.....and I liked it....I missed it....now back to reality....blah blah blah....

Nothing really exciting happened this weekend. Well I fell down the stairs like a retard. That's about it. Got to lay out for a bit, ate mexican food, watched TV/movies, no lake unfortunately, washed some clothes.....nothing too serious.

I am glad that it is only a 4 day work week......man....I am already READY for the weekend! Sorry dad....but if you were honest with yourself....you would be ready for it too.....

My nose is STILL stopped up....apparently I "snored/ breathed really hard" this whole entire week and kept Ronnie awake a lot. HA HA SUCKER! PAYBACK! :)

It is officially June....which means that Eclipse is coming out this month....the 30th. 29 days and counting!!!!!!! Already have my ticket! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

I know that I said that "a calm sea doesn't make for a skillful sailor"......but I like the calm sea. I don't get seasick, I smile more, am happy, and get sleep. So I take it back!

Woe is me....

"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!
Still in love with Edward- DOUBLE 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!
