My apologies in the long delay since the last blog. I've been super busy and on top of that, exhausted! As you know, Casey came over the weekend. We had a great time!! Jerad entertained her while I was at work. They walked the Brooklyn Bridge, which I was more than happy to skip out on :) We pranced up and down 5th avenue. I took lots of pics so check them out if you haven't already. We went to Central Park on Sunday. It's just absolutely beautiful there and the skyline that you see from inside the park is gorgeous, as well. The area we went in is surrounded by big, beautiful apartment buildings that the rich and famous live in. We romped through Times Square on 2 or 3 occasions. Ate at a place called Junior's that is famous for it's cheesecake. I got strawberry shortcake cheesecake and yes, it was amazing!! While we were there a lady passed me and had on some Premier Jewelry. So i jumped up from the table and chased her down! lol She got it a party in San Antonio. It's funny b/c I don't even own that piece, but I sure recognized it.
Work is about to kill me as far as my Fibromyalgia is concerned. I really like my job and I'm getting more and more comfortable with the people everyday. Standing on my feet though is putting me in tremendous pain and I'm not sure how much more of it I can take :( I'd sure hate to leave though right before Holidays and after all they've done for me. I may not even be able to find another job though. We will see how things work themselves out. Our first rent is due tomorrow. Boo. I'm scratching up money from here, there, and everywhere!!
I called my grandmother last night. She cracks me up!! She said "Well sis, I always mean to call you, but I reckon I guess my calls won't reach that far!" haha! I sure miss her! I'm glad she seems to be feeling better than she was a few months back though. Scott's 23rd birthday is Friday. It felt so funny putting a card in the mail to be sent half way across the country.
Have I compared the NYPD to the Beebe Police Department yet? The things that BPD live for (anything to do with traffic violations) don't even exist here. There's no such thing as jaywalkers. Bikers (bicycles, not motorcycles) stay on the road with cars. People just pull over and stop in the middle of the road. Half the roads don't have lanes, you just kinda pick a spot and drive. If NYPD went to BB, they'd die of boredom. If Beebe came to NYC, they'd freak out. Not to mention get a bunch of people killed at a bank robbery or cause a hostage situation. Trust me, they have no idea how to respond to an alarm at a bank!!
Well guys, I know this isn't much for the time you waited but there's not much else to say. Hope everyone is doing well.
Love,
Sheray

Hey guys! Sitting here watching a movie when I should be in bed. Got off at 8:30 tonight and back in the morning at 9:45! I'm worn out! Today was my best day at work so far tho. I wasn't as stressed out. Went and invested in a good pair of Aerosole shoes after work b/c those American Eagle flats from Payless just weren't cutting it!!!
Here's my subway story for the day. Someone on the train had a pet rat! UGGGH!! It was white with red eyes and a disgustingly long tail! I HATE tails!!!! And he was holding it like a dang baby, petting it. And the guy looked like someone who would have a pet rat! Yea, I said it! He just looked weird. I stared forever, quit, look up again the guy is reading a dang book and the rat is just crawling around on his shoulder. That guy had a box of something too....I didn't look in it, but judging from other people's reactions, it was some other stupid animal!! The guy even kissed the rat on the mouth....twice. I was starting to feel sorry for the rat!
So this morning, I'm laying in bed pressing snooze as always and I hear a knock on the door. Who would be at the door unless we let them in the building first? Must be Jerad in the kitchen. Then the dang door opens!!! Are you scared? It was bank people (I think) just checking on the condition of the building. I was like WHAT THE CRAP?! just walk on in! About 3 of them and I had to get in the shower. They left soon tho and later I was in my room about to put on my work clothes and KNOCK again. REALLY?! REALLY?!!! here they come again. Jerad must have walked in b/c i hear from a lady "i'm so sorry we just need to look again" I locked my door. I was ticked off. They should have given us some kind of notice or just sat it out until we left. We both had to get ready for work and did not have time to prance around strangers walking through our apartment. I'm still a little peeved about it. I mean, an hour notice would have been nice!
It's been ridiculously cold here the last few days. I think I already mentioned that tho. It's supposed to warm up tho in the next week! Woo! It should be a beautiful weekend for Casey's first visit to NYC!
Well guys, I'm off. ttyl

Well, I've been getting hard at it at work the past few days! I've really jumped right in and started working. That's what I like tho. The job is pretty easy b/c I've already done almost every aspect of it!! I'm ready to not be the "new girl" anymore. You know? I love Ms. Ena who trains me though. She is doing a great job and you can tell that she is very respected. The customers on the other hand, are really making the rumor that New Yorkers are rude, a reality. Snotty and rude. The girls at work asked me just today if I thought New Yorkers were nice and i said, "Well I did until i started working here!!" People always show their worst behavior when they are out in public. They like to think they are better than the worker, but in reality....what do they do that's so much better? Oh my goodness! The funniest thing happened today at work! I was checking this lady out and I said "so you're just getting the boots and this?" she said "what?" I said "you're only getting the boots and this shirt?" she said "i'm getting what" well they were rain boots so I thought, ok, people around here must have a different name for them and she doesn't know what i'm talking about. Then it hit me. I said "you can't understand what I'm saying can you?" BAHAHAHA!!! it was hilarious!!! we were both American, English speaking ladies, but she is from NYC and I'm from the south. I cracked up forever over that. She finally figured it out and started laughing. She said "did you ask me if i was getting the boots and this" We all got a good laugh out of that one :)
Oh dang, I just realized my air mattress is messed up. There's a big bubble right where my head goes. Guess I can turn it around lol
I went grocery shopping after work and these guys were lined up outside and starting saying "You're so beautiful Miss. Damn! You're so sexy" and then when i came out "You're so beautiful, can i help you?" and i got half way down the road and I could still here them saying "I know you need help" lol I was thinking, "it's dark, how well can you possibly even see me?" I tried not to be rude tho. The main guy saying it was Mexican and my Spanish professor told me that in Mexico, a girl is insulted if she walks down the street and men do not compliment her. So, the men come here carrying on their tradition, but it just creeps us girls out!
It was chilly in the city today. I literally had chill bumps coming home tonight. People are already wearing jackets and I've seen a few people in sweatsuits! It's ridiculous that it's this cold in August!
My friend Casey is coming over from DC this weekend to see me! I'm so excited. Well, I'm pretty sure she's coming for the city lol It's her first time here and I'm so excited for her! We will prob do some things that I haven't done yet either, so I'm pumped about that!!
Well guys, I'm tired and have to get up and do it all over again tomorrow, just like most of you! Have a good night!
Love-Sheray

August 22, 2010
First of all, Happy birthday Miley girl!!! What a wonderful, emotional 2 years of existence! :) If I can remember all the things I have to talk about, this blog will prob be pretty long. Starting with....THE CRAZY PEOPLE ON THE SUBWAY!!!!! Holy cow! Ok, so you read in my last blog about the overactive cusser? WELL, Jerad and I went to eat last night and the subway door opens for us to get on and I see this man with a crazy look in his eyes. I said "i do not want to get on the car with that guy" but Jerad is a man and didn't really listen and was on the train b/4 i even had a chance to say I'd get on the one behind. So people are filing in and I hear the "watch out for the closing doors" so I hurry in. Now the whole time the crazy guy is walking around like he can't figure out if he wants to get off or not, clinging to this paper bag for dear life. Anyway, I go ahead and push my way in b/c I'm about to get left behind, which unfortunately involved nudging the psycho. HE FREAKING HIT ME!!!! No, not across the face but for those of you who know my Granny's John, it was like if you try to take his cards. He will hold his cards in front of you and elbow the crap out of you. So yea, this guy knocks me pretty hard in the arm and my eyes got HUGE and he says "you better watch where you putting your hands" Well, everyone on the train is watching this disgusting guy. I moved about a whole foot b/c that's all i could manage, and people told him he had forgotten his meds. He had prescriptions all over the seat, including an inhaler in the floor. THEN, he spit a loogie (sp?), apparently not his first, onto the rail that people hang on to. So there's this slime running down the pole and i was about to vomit.. I then moved to the other door. This other guy just looked at me and shook his head. THANK GOODNESS that guy got off on the next stop. Then, when it was time for us to get off at our stop, I got squished! I could literally feel my ribs being pushed inward towards each other b/c people were fighting to get off. It's so inhumane on those subways at times. They don't give you NEAR enough time to get on and off. There's just too many people filing in and out! So we eat dinner, which i'll tell you about, and get back on the subway/train (i interchange these words) and what do we have? Another crazy? This one wasn't scary, in fact, he had half the train laughing pretty hard. He was scrawny and either drunk, crazy, homeless or all 3. He had no front teeth and was walking up and down the car hollering and making weird noises. He was preaching in Spanish about how Americans treat Puerto Ricans unfairly. Jerad and I can't speak Spanish fluently but we both got that much from it. The guy reeked too and he would grab the pole and dance around. He even got in some poor guys face and was talking. I would vomit from the smell. No one talked back and most of us tried to hide our laughter when he was watching so that he wouldn't be enticed. This morning, I was walking through the station and before I even reached the stairs I heard someone talking very loudly. I couldn't make out what they were saying. I rounded the steps slowly to make sure there were other people. There were a ton luckily but the guy (and again, drunk, homeless, crazy or all 3) was at the bottom of the steps yelling about how someone didn't murder someone. I dunno but luckily the train came and I made sure to get on where he was NOT! Ok, done with my subway stories :) Travel at your own expense!
Dinner-Jerad took me to a place last night called Country Hill. I had bbq and bud light. It felt like home :) It was a neat place. You took your card to these different areas. The meat counter, sides counter, and dessert counter. You got whatever you wanted and however much you wanted. They marked your card and when you got done, they rang up what all you got at the register. It really wasn't too expensive. They even had real fruit juice margaritas! I mean, I never stopped to even think of that as a possibility! It's just tequila and margarita mix right?! lol But seriously Mom, it was the closest thing I've had to a home cooked meal that I've had since I've been here so you should be happy. Not quite as good as home, but still pretty good! They even had great cornbread!!
I went to church this morning. It was the Manhattan Church of Christ. It definitely was different from the Church of Christs I've attended. It just felt a little fake to me and maybe for show. The congregation was small too. I stayed 50 min, at which point they released the children to what they called VBS and I headed for the door. They still had not started preaching and I would have gotten way more out of sitting at home reading my Bible. And people back home cannot complain about the kids at our church. These kids were LOUD and out of control. One was running up and down the aisle. He ran up on the stage...i'm not kidding! One man was praying and busted out in song. His eyes were still shut and his head bowed but he was singing at the top of his lungs. Some of you may do this at your church but it was a little weird for me.
Last night when Jerad and i arrived to our apartment building this couple walked out and...HAD A DOG! I said "JERAD! They just came out of our building" He said "yea i know" He was probably thinking "oh Lord, please make her keep her mouth shut" and for those of you who don't know, the landlord allows all pets EXCEPT dogs and I had to leave my baby Tucker back home with Mom and Dad. (thanks Mom!) Anyhoo, so i left for church this morning and they were out with the dog. I asked them if the owner allowed it and he said he was dogsitting for the weekend. SO, guess I won't make a fuss about that.
A lot of you may already know this, but apparently bed bugs are quite a problem in New York which DISGUSTS me!!! They have infested movie theaters and I found out at work yesterday, that the Victoria's Secret down the road had to close for 2 hours b/c the bed bugs got so bad! can you even imagine?! And bed bugs in your lingerie?! AHHHH! No way!!!
And yea, I had my first day of work at my home store, checking people out and being supervisor. It was pretty uneventful tho and the store was slow. I really like the managers and the girls that worked cash seemed pretty nice! I even got my lovely name badge and it already says "supervisor" Yes, i'm a nerd but i'm excited :) It made for a long day but luckily my legs aren't hurting today!! :)
Well guys, I've covered a lot and probably not everything on my mind. If you stuck this blog out to the end, thank you!!! I'm thankful for all you guys everyday! Really! Enjoy your Sunday and have a good work week!

Tomorrow is the big day! I start actually cashiering at my home store! I'm excited! We had register class today and it seemed super easy :)
Register class was done before 10:30 so I decided to go roam the city since I was feeling pretty good and didn't want to come home and take a nap, as usual! I got on the train and decided I would just get off at some random stop that I wasn't familiar with....it was Chinatown! ha! I'm posting pics on Facebook as soon as I'm done with this. I don't know if it was the heat, but I found myself very annoyed down there. People kept getting in my way! There were a lot of elderly people there too. Elderly, Chinese people. It was pretty big too. Seemed to go on forever.
I've decided that New York City must be home to world's LOUDEST ice cream trucks. You know, you watch t.v. and movies and there's always the sirens in the background. Where are the ice cream trucks?! I always here them and they are way louder than the sirens!! The sirens here sound different from home too. They sound like the sirens in the old movies or old war movies.
Yesterday I was on the subway and for whatever reason that they announced, they skipped a stop. Well, they skipped the stop that the craziest man on the train needed off at. He had had his face buried in his hands and he looked up....and looked around....and sh*t! EF...F@%*. And then the longest series of the "F" word RIGHT in front of these 2 precious little boys who were beside me. So needless to say I was a little uncomfortable because this man obviously wasn't real right in the head. I looked at the girl across from me, who had been sitting by him (until he GOT UP to start cussing) and she kind of grinned and I had to turn around and bite my cheek to keep from cracking up! And you'd think he'd be done and all of a sudden F! That guy was crazy, I was relieved he got off at the next stop! You will definitely find the weirdest characters on the train! And lots of people looking for money!!
So it's Friday night and I don't have much to do. I wanted to see Last Exorcism but it's not out yet. Looks like I'll be catching up with the remaining episodes of Trueblood. Have a good weekend!

Hey guys! I know I should write b/c it's been a few days, but I don't feel like I have much to talk about. I know that's sad considering it's New York, but I stay in my apartment a lot to keep from spending money.
I've got one more day of orientation, which is in the morning, then I get to go to my home store and start F/T Saturday! I can't wait!! I also have exciting news in the world of Premier. I received recognition from my Premier great-grandparents, who are top notch in Premier, for being in the top 20 retail sales of their 10-10-10 (downline) for the month of July!! I know that is probably a foreign language to most of you but I am SO excited about it! On top of that, Becca Fulks is signing up underneath me so now I get to be her Premier Momma!!! I am so proud to be sponsoring her b/c I know she is going to do great :)
I am up too late tonight. I'm gonna be tired in the morning so hopefully orientation is the normal 2 hours so I can come home and take a nap! I've got a big day Saturday! It'll be the most work and standing on my feet that I've done in almost a month!
I know Beebe is dealing with back to school now, so best of luck to you all. I don't have anything else to say. So sorry. Love you all!

Work
Hey guys! Started my first day of work today. It was a whopping 2 hours! We just discussed policies, procedures and did some paperwork. You know how that goes. It was funny b/c for the first time ever, I had to sign some agreement about blogging and online websites saying I would add a disclaimer if I talked about the company. I just thought it was funny considering this is the first blog I've kept in my entire life and by coincidence I have to sign that a few days later...ok not that funny. I took the train (subway) yesterday to figure out where I had to be for orientation. Well, after walking a few blocks and getting there, I realized that there was a subway RIGHT in front of the building! So that's nice. After I start at my permanent location it'll be back to walking a few blocks after I get off the train.
Ok, so i've been meaning to write about this for a while, but always forget. You would not believe the price of tanning up here!!! I'm seriously having tanning withdrawals and my stupid eczema is acting up too! Ok, I went in one that was in a good location, but there was not anything special about the place. ONE visit is THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS!!!!! Holy crap!! You girls better not complain about an $8 visit ever again. And if you buy visits they average out to $10/visit. The 25 visits pack was $250 and the 35 package was $350. I'm gonna look like a dadgum vampire when i get back! And the towels, lotions and sprays just aren't the same :(
Did I tell you guys that I got Skype? It's a webcam software for those of you who were behind in the times, like myself! Anyhoo, now I get to SEE and talk to my whole family at night. INCLUDING my baby Tucker :) And of course Miley girl. I'm telling you, dogs are so much smarter than we give them credit for. My sister held Tucker and he could hear me but once he caught my gaze on that computer, you could literally see his whole body calm down and he just stared at me for the longest time. Then he went to trying to lick and sniff the computer! lol I miss that little furball SO BAD!!!!! I think Skype makes Mom miss me more tho. I told her we were gonna cut it out if she got sad. So anyway, if you have skype, add me!! My username is sherayg.
I'm sure there are plenty of other things to tell you, but I'm at a blank and i'm sleepy! Didn't get to sleep til noon today, which I was getting VERY used to. Love you all and talk to you later!

Then he went to trying to lick and sniff the computer! lol I miss that little furball SO BAD!!!!! I think Skype makes Mom miss me more tho. I told her we were gonna cut it out if she got sad. So anyway, if you have skype, add me!! My username is sherayg.
I'm sure there are plenty of other things to tell you, but I'm at a blank and i'm sleepy! Didn't get to sleep til noon today, which I was getting VERY used to. Love you all and talk to you later!

Sunday
Hey guys!! I just could NOT make myself get up this morning for church. I don't know what was wrong with me. But, I decided that it would be ok b/c i could go to the evening service. Well, I looked up about 10 churches and not one of them had a Sunday evening church. That's new to me. So, guess I will try again next week.
I went to Bath and Body Works today. Their new fall scents candles are on sale for $5!! I bought 3 candles and a wallflower. Jerad has to keep his windows open so that he can get air in the room. Apparently it smells a little outside b/c the apartment just keeps this blah smell that I just can't stand!! You don't notice it when you're outside, but I sure do in the apartment!
I've had a headache for 4 days. I guess it's allergies but they're darn near debilitating! Hopefully it leaves before Tuesday, or at least gets better. This Trueblood show I've been watching is getting silly. Think I may be about done with it.
It rained again today. It amazed me how many people walked around without umbrellas. It wasn't pouring, but raining enough to need one. People were out with their kids too! I just didn't get that.
I've upgraded to "honey" now to the man at the Deli across the street! lol He's nice, not creepy though.
Now that I write my blogs on this website, I can't see how many views I get. So, will you please let me know if you're still reading so I'll know whether or not to continue? I know there's plenty of stuff to write about in New York, but the fact is, I just simply don't have the money to run around all day and do these things. I figure eventually you guys will get bored with these so just please let me know. Love you all!

Yay for the weekend!
Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend! Apparently, the blog application on Facebook doesn't want to work anymore, so here we are. My new boss, Linda, JUST called!! I start orientation on Tuesday at their Broadway location. How exciting is that?! Working on Broadway! Of course, the store I'll actually be working at will be over on 54th st. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas? That's right...something from Daffy's.
I met up with Andrew Buck last night. I used to work with him at Cracker Barrel in Conway and now he lives here. We had a great time just catching up and discussing the do's and don'ts of the city!! He works at a Leisure Time Bowl. It's a bowling alley but also a restaurant and an island bar in the middle. We got some nachos that were amazing! They had pineapple and I don't know what else but they were so good! I met some other people while I was up there who were really nice. We tried to go to some place, I don't know the name, but they wouldn't let you in if you had on shorts or sneakers. Of course, people in our group had that on so it was a no go. We went to some hole in the wall pizza place around 3 and it was packed. The night flew by and I didn't make it home til 4. It was entertaining watching people on the train falling over sleeping :)
I'm making an honest effort to get up and go to church in the morning. I have to do some research, again, to figure out exactly which one I want to go to. I looked up some Churches of Christ, because that's what I go to at home, but judging from the websites I think they may not be the Churches of Christ that I'm used to.
Jerad cleaned today! I'm so excited! He threw out all the boxes that were piled up in the living room. He also did the dishes. Now I just have to throw my boxes out that are still in my room.
Man, someone is getting a little excited with the horn outside!! I am getting hungry so I'm going to get off of here. I'm going to finish Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs too. It's cute! Love you all!
