It’s your turn to write for the Grit.
WHA?!
Seriously.
I’m gonna leave a comment and you write something that would’ve gotten that response outta me.
You can say as much or as little as you want. It’s entirely up to you.
Just give me something that would make me say—
“I just scooped my jaw off the floor—I can’t believe you said that!”
Tell us what you're thinking...
and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
bob on twenty-seven: letters that spell hope -- You’re missing the vowel underneath the first consonant (reading from right to left).... 
Frank on twitter time-out -- how about using your “old” Twitter account, at least, for the time being? 
Sharkbait on embracing uncertainty -- God promised to redeem all things. He never said they’d make sense. Now that makes sense. :-) 
Pam on embracing uncertainty -- Hi Alece, Came here from your mom’s site… this post especially touched me, particularly your last line.... 
Kaylee on twitter time-out -- A similar thing happened to me with Pinterest! I went to log in one day and it said my email and password were wrong,...

Im not wearing underwear. In fact I never do. But that’s probably not a secret here at The Grit anymore is it? ;-)

{so fun! wish i was more creative}
i’m worried/nervous that i might (possibly) have a very huge medical issue… not going to say what (at least right now) but prayers would be incredible right now for healing (if needed) and just to help me not be worried about it.
the medical issue itself maybe “jaw-dropping”-worthy. lol
@coloraturajoy says:
i just farted on my dog!
haha. is that jaw-dropping?
@coloraturajoy says:
[ok, for the record...i didn't actually pass gas on the quadruped. i just needed something potentially jaw-dropping.]
brandy — do you know how much i love you?!!? thanks for kicking things off right around here! ha!
yeller — i’d have probably responded similarly if i read this on someone else’s site!
marc — check your mail.
joy renee — ha ha ha! i don’t know which was funnier — your “confession” or the word “quadruped”!

Thrive Africa stinks…World Vision is wayyyyyy better.
haha.
You have a solid place in the handful of people I respect most in this world.
@atangie says:
When I type ‘w’ in the address bar of my trusty mozilla browser your blog site is the first one on the pop up list of most visited sites. Scouts honor! :-)
You can pick your friends.
You can pick your nose.
But you cannot pick your friend’s nose.
Just met someone and am getting married April 1st….can you make it to the wedding?
I pulled a Mandy x3 this week. Think real hard on that one. ;-) HAHA!
I have a confession…I cry every time I watch “Armageddon”! That’s right. I, Andrew Ronzino, cry when Bruce Willis forces Ben Affleck back into the ship and sacrifices himself for everyone else and tells him to take care of his daughter. I own the movie, and I’ve seen it a billion times (I’ve kept count), but I cry EVERY TIME!
What movie makes you cry every time you see it (And I don’t think “The Passion of the Christ” counts here, folks…)?
I blog naked.
not really.
okay well maybe sometimes.
not entirely.
just a little.
the socks, they keep my feet warm.
peirce — hey now!
annie — woah! that worked!
gigi — awwww. that is so fun to know. and reading “scout’s honor” makes me wish the girl scouts would make their rounds in this neighborhood. i want cookies.
roxanne — i think i have a friend or two whose noses i could pick. i think.
char — is it don miller??????
raisin bran — hey, no taking mandy’s name in vain!!! and really??? the only thing worse than naked is naked+socks. heebie.jeebies.
andrew — awww… well aint you just sweet!!! :)
Here’s something worth telling the fans of The Grit about:
I just found out on Facebook from Blaine Bartel (if you don’t know who he is, he’s a pastor…and the creator of an ancient Christian Cult Classic known as Fire By Nite), that Michael Tate of DC Talk is now lead singer of Newsboys. Can you believe that?! My jaw dropped anyway….
ummm…. are you sure?
odd.
not that i listen to either.
although i confess to having some newsboys on my ipod.
shame.
I have nothing jaw-dropping to say…but if Char is marrying don miller, I am so there! :]
ha ha ha!
Tate is lead singer of Newsboys?! WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!
and girl, I was so kidding about the nekkid/socks. hahaha! It’s just plain nekkid. HAAAAA!!! heehee
j/k. ;-) Love you!
phew! i’m glad nekked means nekked!
i eat sushi as much as three times a week.
i slip and use swear words sometimes. (but only around my roommate)
im teaching myself a James Taylor song. (that will make Becca’s jaw drop for sure)
How you dooin’??
you old fart? :-)
.
.
.
(Did i win?)
<B
hannah — YOU?! swearing!?! easy, girl! (hee hee!)
mr. love — not sure if you intended it that way, but i totally read your “how you dooin’?” like joey on friends!
You mom has seen me naked.
I’ve had cosmetic surgery. Can you guess where??? (That can only be revealed in an email conversation. =))
Okay…I’ve got some gold here that is bound to make some jaws drop.
Alece has seen ME naked!!! I’m serious, she has.
How’s that for a winning comment? Huh, HUH?!
i totalllly walked it out in the middle of my gym with my mammmma bird yesterday and then we had about 3 people join in. and they were OLDDDDDDDDD.
i straight up walked away but it was funny watching my mom trying to walk it out.
by the way alece, this is jaw dropping worthy.
i am emailing you but my mom has a week off the first week of April and if you want to we can drive up for a day and come chill with you.
THAT WAS TOTALLLLY mouth wide open HUGELY dropping worth it hahhaa.
i love you.
God, you’re beautiful.
I had french onion laughing cow cheese for lunch today and I’ve been farting ever since.
YOU HAVE A SECRET ADMIRER!
heehee
seriously though….. it says so.
CINDY BEALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
motts — why are you always talkin’ about my mom?!
shineanea — i can’t tell if you’re joking or not… email’s a’comin!
andrew — what did you say? ooloo?!?!
jacers — way to walk it out, girl! and you’re so sweet for wanting to drive up to see me for a day. [made me smile!] how far are you from here? i thought you were farther than a day-trip… let’s talk!
secret admirer — blush!
ms. beall — you made me burst out laughing! thank you.
raisin bran — HI!
‘Joey’ it was indeed! :-) (well, the first line – the last one was all ‘me’) ;-)
and i read secret admirer as: “God! – You are (as in He is) beautiful!”
But then i’ve worked a fair bit on getting my ego under ‘some’ control :-) (Less of me)
<B
Ronzo – i’m guessing Alece even got to help change your nappies too :-)
<B
mr. love — so you’re saying that SecretAdmirer couldn’t be telling me that i’m beautiful, only that God is???
ummm… thanks?
I’m at panera looking around for someone famous. because that does happen around here sometimes.
becasue i wanted to say… _____ just walked into panera. and then make your jaw drop.
but as it seems, i am the only one around here who fails to see famous people, or recognize them.
i saw cate blanchette at disneyland once.
so, alas, nothing jaw dropping. sorry, friend. no laughing cow for me, either.
you make me smile, sweet sarah!
Because it’s funny.
indeed it is! thanks for always getting me to laugh unexpectedly.
According to her…yes.
We don’t talk about that.
according to me?! what? you don’t think i changed your diapers?!
sheesh!
It’s at times like this i am glad i don’t have elder siblings – ‘specially big sistas ;-)
<B
ha ha ha ha!
Ahh Sweet Alece… i find it interesting observing how other people’s ego’s make them ‘understand’ another (or even themselves) in the way they do ( and of course it is an aid to understanding my own ego through the various ‘contrasts’/similarities)
If i may answer your ‘question’?
what i actually said was: EYE read what SA said as “God (He) you’re beautiful.” i made no kind of aspersion that that was the only way he or she might have intended it – Fair?
Other’s opinions of ourselves matter far less than what God thinks of us – i believe i told you that quite some time back? :-)))
I believe He (God) thinks you are beautiful – and somewhat insecure also :-)
Maybe you could trust Him ‘more’ and lose some insecurities by so doing?
<B
maybe…
:-)
