It’s Amazing Grace

Oh man! I have been having a really bad week. Why do relationships have to be so freakin’ hard?! I wonder if we will ever get this communication thing down. But, after talking to Bobbie I have decided to admit that I didn’t trust him just to  be fair. But, me not liking to be told what to do as if I am a child still stands. I just wanted to be treated like a competent adult. Plus, I wanted to try and handle things my way to resolve the issue so that it didn’t go as far as a letter to the attorney general. It’s really not that I don’t trust him as a person…more so, it’s like I didn’t trust that he was handling the situation appropriately. Luckily everthing is alright now and we are able to pay my dentist bill for my braces without suing the finance company…overreacting can cause a situation to be more stressful than what it has to be…I prefer to think first and considered all possibilities to make the wisest decision.

I’m so appreciative of Jim-James taking the time to fix the wires inside my keyboard pedal…now it works again! Unfortunately, I was trying to be helpful passing him the tools he needed and was in for the shock of my life. I didn’t know what a soldering iron was before, but you better bet that I do now! I read on the web that those things can get up to 400 degrees Celsius…and that’s what it felt like…400 degrees Celsius. I had to keep ice on my fingers for 1 1/2 days because whenever I took it off it started burning all over again…with the same intensity. I look at my fingers now and am constantly staring at this huge white blister that looks like it’s filled with fluid and all I can think of is “those cells are dead, cooked to a crisp just like wieners blister up in a pot of oil when cooking”! Scott asked my if I cursed and I didn’t. Actually the first words that came to mind and that always seems to come to mind in these type of stressful situations is “Oh my gosh and/or ouch! Between this injury, the one I got not to long ago when I dropped Leah’s keyboard…tried to save it, but got scared pretty deep with my skin, and the paper cut I got two days ago at work…I can only say that my left hand isn’t pleased with me right now…it is jacked up!

I think me, Brittney and Angela F. made a great team setting up Leah’s baby shower. I must say that it’s the best baby shower I ever been to where I had fun and good food. Angela is one of the most creative people I know. She had me introduce this onesies game to everybody. They painted on the onesis with two people per group. Leah picked the best artistic painting she liked and the winner got a prize. I never would have expected her to pick the one she did! Jessica told me beforehand, “I don’t know Grace, are you sure you want me to participate in this game (she and her mom are artists). But Leah picked the work of art in which Becca B. and Stephanie R. pained a bikini on the onesie. I don’t know…maybe Leah did like it and/or maybe she did it on purpose because she thought it was funny. That was the first ever baby shower I had to throw, and I couldn’t have done it and been successful without Angela F. and Brittney R….forgive me if my spelling is incorrect for the onesie…some baby related terms are unfamiliar to me.
