Grace?s Love Affair w/the Liquor Store

Grace is graciously letting me guest blog about our trips to the local liquor store. This blog is really about Grace?s mad love affair with the store. We often spend Friday and Saturday nights together and both LOVE wine. (NOTE: For those of you who are having an epiphany about where Grace is all the time since she rarely goes out, this blog will not solve that mystery. ALL of our trips to the store have been with me on the phone. Not in person. We don't even live in the same state.)

Listening to Grace with the liquor store man is completely entertaining. We?ll call him Rocco and he REALLY likes Grace. He gets that sweet "I like this girl" tone every time she walks in. Grace is a little ray of sunshine herself with Rocco. She may be telling me what a pain in the ass I am but she always stops harassing me, leaves me on hold, and tells Rocco hi. I?ve never met him but I have a mental picture. He?s foreign and has chest hair. (note from grace, he is foreign, with LOTS of chest hair.)

The other day Grace took me on a trip with her. She went to buy Raspberry Vodka and Diet 7-Up (which is her favorite drink) and this is how the conversation went w/Rocco:

GRACE: Hi!! Army Girl, shut it I need to buy vodka. (DRAMA ADDED)
ROCCO: How about this bottle?
GRACE: Are you crazy? That is too small. I should get a discount here. After every 10 bottles I should get one for free.
ROCCO: [laughs] Is this bottle big enough?
GRACE: No [whining girl voice], why dont you have the raspberry vodka?
ROCCO: [Gives Grace a big enough bottle of raspberry vodka.]
GRACE: Thanks. I?ll see you tomorrow.

I have to also recognize the other special guy in Grace?s life. There?s a drunk, homeless guy that pulls security on Grace?s condo from the liquor store. I think that when Grace isn?t able to wake me in the middle of the night with the phone she goes to the curb to hang with drunk, homeless guy and Rocco. (note from grace- the homeless guy is always wearing an Illinois Dept. of Corrections sweatsuit. That's not weird, is it?)
