liquid eyeliner & haircolor.....

Haha......Colored my hair this weekend!....I had to of course take the dark brown out with a bleach kit from the beauty store...Then I waited a day and ran to Walgreens and just bought this cheapo box off the shelf and colored it this color....It's really pretty...lol....

Oh the fun of having a weekend hair coloring party with your best friends!.....at least I didn't dye mine fire red like some people.....(amy) cough cough!....haha

Lacey dyed hers like a chocolate red brown and everybody else went bleachy white or gold...I just went to this color...it's fairly toned down..nothing too bright....I easily become bored with things so I always have to try and change things up a bit..that's how I roll!...haha...

Always kinda tough when washing your hair to make 100% sure that you don't get any hair color in your eyes because it can blind you ya know?...that's the only part I get nervous about really.....because if the color ends up whack you can still bleach that mess out and start all over....lol


Morgan said she used henna dye once and she would NEVER do that again...ever...took ages to get it out of her hair...even bleach wouldn't work....so I stay away from henna dye...You can save yourself at least $100 on hair color just dye-ing it yourself...I spent probably $20 total on coloring my hair and it's pretty long........at the beauty shop it would cost me no less than $100...seriously...you gotta get the hang of it to get comfortable with coloring it yourself.....have to start sometime to learn as in anything in life..but invite over a few best friends on the weekend when you got nowhere to go or nothing to do and it's crazy fun!

bought a new eye liner this weekend too, I ALWAYS use black liquid eyeliner on my eyes...I love it...it looks very professional and it creates a beautiful look to your eyes...it's like painting sorta..brings out your eyes.....everyone says I have very pretty eyes all the time--sweet of them to say! but I think it's the eyeliner!!!..lol.....I use waterproof always and that stuff doesn't move!

stress sneaks up on you....

Despite the rainy calm night....I woke up this morning grinding my teeth in my sleep, and clenching my fists like I was going to hit somebody...lol....I realized that it is from STRESS with all that is going on around here...It's a lot to handle and try not to worry about my loved ones.....

and you don't know how fast the stress is affecting you really....it's super sneaky..

Pretty easy to figure out---that I go on vacation and not once did I grind my teeth in my sleep at the condo or toss and turn,or clench my fists..not once!...I slept better than I have in a loooooong time and I think it's because I was far away from home and all this worry/stress...

today I got even more stressed when some of the hillbilly relatives drove by the house when I got home from the sale...staring...looking for something to steal or thinking of some way to cause me trouble...they were all whacked out looking....really spooky....oh well...I suppose someday they will all go away and Poof! be gone from my life forever..Grr!.....I really hate them....I can't say it enough....about 90% of the stress and worry in my life comes from them...and I really don't think that's fair to have to put up with forever....

I know it's silly and stupid, but when I saw them today my blood boiled with hate/anger.....will they ever be gone?!...*fingers crossed*..someday.

I really need to learn how to control the stress and try to put it out of my mind/soul the best way I can, because it's not good at all for me...it's just super tough to get rid of something that is constantly surrounding you ya know?...I want them all gone from my life...

my Grandma listens to their crap and that makes me really mad....she's soooo stupid about them sometimes...but she's old and she thinks she has to be nice to them because they are her late sister's family...*eyeroll* whatever...if she only knew how evil and terrible they really are--bad dangerous people....she chooses to live in her "everything is peachy" world...you know....

people say:"Identify the stress in your life and try to eliminate it"...LOL....ME:"Oh, I've identified it alright...there's about 15 of them and I hate every one of them!!!"

Why, Hello April.....!!!

Wow...can't believe it's already April!...are you serious?....I spent a whole week out of March on vacation and I still feel weird as if I am still there....haha....must have been the altitude---my brain got damaged probably!....LOL....no, I just seriously could travel more and stay longer out there....oh well..i just had a ton of fun and a great time....
 
Just thinking today about all the damaged people that the universe or God puts into your life for a reason.....sometimes I think people are put in your life to teach you a lesson or for you to care for....I'm gonna go with "care for/help" for the damaged people in my life..because that seems to be the case...I suppose because I am a very caring, compassionate creature.But hey, i'm always for the underdog and down trodden, you know me....
 
I had a great friend tell me today that I am genuine, very caring and real.....I thought about that a sec and I really appreciated the comment...I want to be myself and what you see is what you get...I would never be a fake snobby type.....I think all anybody wants to see really out of people is someone genuine and real...I strive for that in my everyday life---to just be the real me to people...I do sometimes wish I wasn't so caring about endless things and people in my life ya know?...but that's just me....I worry so much about things because of my caring side...
 
I guess that's why the universe, or God, or whoever puts all these damaged people with problems into my life....so I can help them get better or something?....I don't really mind, I must have THE personality for it...lol...because I have a whole bunch of them as friends and family....I should have been a psychiatrist...haha....
 
I believe everything in your life happens for a reason--EVERYTHING....good/evil/people/places/things/vacations/paths/roads/friends/family....I believe it's all preplanned...so when I can't figure anything out I just go..."oh well...must be a reason" and I go on.....

anyway---everyone loves my Pueblo necklace I bought in New Mexico....I liked the animals and different colors...they told me it was protection/power symbol necklace.....not a great pic of it on an old towel but here it is..the bottom animal is a black bear...I guess he must be the most powerful or protector?....

few vacation pics...

Busy week....hate it that cousin Sarah had to move back home this week!!!...*sad face*....oh well...that's life I guess.....she had no choice---had to move due to family problems at her old home and she as always had to go back and save the day.......so it's just me now.....we cried as always.....hate that part..

at least Grandparents and Aunts/Uncles live one road over from me and Dad is just down the road(whenever he gets back from wherever)...til then...it's me...I will be just fine.

paid half my taxes today. Hallelujah for that...god...I hate taxes but everyone's gotta pay their part....I wanna keep all my land and etc...!!!...so I gladly pay up.

wishing I was somewhere else today...I wanna go to Amarillo or something....weirdness today I know...kinda sad today.

here's some pics from my vacation

outside of Taos,NM

 

loooong ways down!!!

the bridge we walked on over the canyon...I was too scared to walk too close to the rail...even though I knew I was safe...it was spooky...haha...

very beautiful....lots of vendors their selling jewelry etc....lots of characters there let me tell you...go check it out if you're ever around...really cool.

just got home.....

Well.....just got home last night..Had a great time, despite a few bruises from falling on the icy snow skiing!

I wiped out going down a icy small hill and flipped over slightly landing right on my butt...i swear my tailbone is probably severely bruised...Way to go Julia you've done it again!!!...*sarcastic face*...Ouchie! Advil is my only help....i'm accident prone incase you hadn't figured that out.

I took a lot of pictures and i will put up a few when i get time.

Taos was beautiful and artsy...LOVED IT!....as well as the other towns we visited...I bought some native jewelry..Pueblo or Navajo or both i'm thinking...They thought it was pretty awesome when we told them we were from Oklahoma...why, i don't know?..probably the native connection...Oklahoma must be pretty interesting because they would talk and talk about it....lol...Oklahoma has never been sooooooo interesting or cool if you had listened to them go on and on about it....but they were local tribal people...so there you go.

fun times.......nobody had any fights...sure after travelling together a week you tend to start to hate each other and get annoyed but all around a great time i think....i soooooooo didn't wanna come home...*sad face*

9 hours going and 9 hours coming back-----18 hours total on the road whole trip.

oh yeah, i'm home....bleh....back to reality........and........work.
