Have a free minute before dinner time..waiting to leave w/the work crew to drive to town....
Yesterday was exciting, we had to fight off a rattlesnake while we were building fence...again.....We didn't even hear/or see it until it was almost right upon us!...you talk about scary!...The only way i noticed it was it caught my eye slithering over near some big rocks and it was after us.....
we are so lucky & Sarah couldn't hardly run to jump in the back of the truck because of her cast on her foot....oh man....it must have had a den or something by those rocks and we disturbed it moving that pile of tree limbs...it was one of those huge ones...we couldn't get in through the passenger door because it locks because the handle is broken & was right beside some boulders, the back sliding glass window was locked, and the windows were all up on both doors...it was right by the driver side door RIGHT INFRONT OF US....
so we got in the back of the truck and tried to wait for it to leave..but it stayed there and rattled/hissed at us...i found a shovel on the back of the truck and we tried to lean over and move it...it bit the shovel...oh god...that is so spooky the way its fangs scraped against that metal....we got freaked out that we would be stranded or bit....and it was 111 degrees...
so we thought & thought of some way to get it to leave...we even tried scooping it up w/the shovel and it was so heavy and kept striking at the handle.....i tried throwing the shovel thinking it might cut it in half..but i shoulda known better...you can't throw it and make that happen...didn't work.....so finally we got a spare tire off the back and rolled it...and it landed on the snake..distracted him enough that we had time to jump in the driver side door!..oh my goodness....that was so scary...we are far from town and by the time we would get medical attention if we ever get bit it could be too late for a rattlesnake bite!......yikes
so that was exciting & SPOOKY.
tomorrow we have to move more livestock....and a guy is coming by to buy some horses & 2 bulls...long day of work ahead for tomorrow...
112 degrees hot & hot, no rain in sight..again....i hate you La` Nina` or whatever your stupid weather name is!
Taking Grandpa to get surgery done on his other eye thursday morning..same place/same time as last time...he's not as nervous this time he says....i just gotta keep him away from the bar,the whiskey,the card table, & his old cowboy friends all day thursday afterward....bwahahaha!!!!.....i don't know why he likes me to drive him to the surgery...but he says i don't nag so that's a fact i can be proud of right?....LOL....i feel kinda special my Grandpa asks me to drive him out of everybody else in our family....i'm special! i'm special! i'm special!....LOL!!!
he told me today that he sees really good in his eye he already had surgery on,but that now his eye he needs surgery on is making his vision off balance..Dr. said that after this surgery thursday that he will probably be able to go w/out his glasses from now on....i think he's looking forward to that.....
Grandparents left early yesterday to go to a family re-union type thing, well i guess it was really just a few of Grandma's cousins getting together for a visit.It was over way east of OKC at a cousin's son's house or something....Oh, can't wait to hear how much fun that was for Grandpa...LOL...he knows Grandma's family is all insane...apparently some of her cousins from Tennessee & Kentucky were all driving down for the big whoop-tee-do.....bet that was something else...sooooo glad i didn't have to go!..thank the lords...
Stayed home last night.....Mark took me & Sarah golfing early yesterday...before it got too hot outside...golfing was ok...kinda boring but i've been before and it's just not something i'm into....he took a few of his wild women girlfriends along...they met us there...yeah....let's just say that was interesting enough in itself.....bimbos....soooo stupid & gross....and they try so hard to be me & Sarah's best friends...
Sarah said afterward:"I wanted to tell them GO AWAY WH*RES! stop trying to be our best friends because you think it will get you closer to him, b*tch please give up!"...bwahahahaha!...i laughed so hard i was crying, because that is so true..."Bitch please!"....LMAO!..those wild women always try to be our best friends to get to them---DadChad,Mark,Uncle Pete all their wild women are annoying as can be...they're so textbook & stupid...you can see right through all their conniving & plotting...ick!
yeah wild women, go for us--the children of the family because you wanna get to them...one even said to Mark yesterday:"Ohhhh i just looooove Julie & Sarah!!!!They are so sweet they look so much like you all!!"...yeah whatever bimbo....go away.
so after that crap we left and went home...Amy called(Hi Ames!)and we ended up playing horseshoes over at Travis's house(Hi Travis!) til 7pm...it was still hot outside...they all went to the bar last night...we were so tired though....Uncle Pete must have been riding motorcycles last night because at about 11pm last night a whole bunch of motorcycles rode by the house from the north and then afterward 3 cars were driving side by side down the road, right in the middle of the road..driving super fast...it kinda looked like they had the car in the middle hemmed in...boy that was weird....
i don't know if they were gonna kick somebody's butt or what?...kinda spooky..being on our road, and we live in the middle of nowhere in the country....I don't think Dad got home yesterday...it may be next weekend...unless those motorcycles were coming from his house up the road,meaning he's home & was w/them?...i don't know..that was all too weird...but i'm gonna guess Uncle Pete was riding w/the motorcycle guys last night....
but the 3 cars driving like that in the middle of the road side by side...it was kinda like they were trying to escort the middle car or control it, like kick somebody's butt in the middle car...something like that crazy & dangerous.....i probably don't wanna know what was going on....yikes...sooo happy i stayed home last night...
in other random news---- we have came up w/the idea of a swear jar at Grandma's house on the weekends..because Dad, Uncle Pete,Cody, Mark,and even Grandpa AND Grandma cuss way too much and say the GD word too much and that makes God sad because that's his name.so no cussing on sundays!..LOL....so we have a jar setting on the kitchen table at Grandma's and everytime they cuss they have to put $ in the jar and the money goes to the offering plate at Grandma's church on sunday morning!!!...LOL....
so yesterday morning Grandpa goes:"Well, i guess i better pay in advance!"...haha he put in $20 and then Uncle Pete saw it and he says:"A swear jar huh?...ok, well here goes, G*ddamn it, F***, Sh*t, F***, G*ddamn, Sh*t!!!!" and then he dropped $50 in the jar....bwahahahaha!!!!!
hopefully it works..well on the weekends maybe...lol
Painted my bedroom yesterday morning early at 6am to try and get done before it got hot...again.....I painted it "Marigold Blossom" which is basically that golden yellow color i have fell in love with...when i totally get finished w/the whole room i will have turquoise accents or designs i am gonna paint on my walls...i think that would look really cool..maybe when i am finished i will put up a digital picture on here of my room...but not til i am happy w/it all!....lol...
While i was painting Sarah got into a big fight on the phone w/Amanda(she's being a drama queen as usual)....so they were screaming at each other over the phone...and 2hrs later Amanda shows up here at the house and starts screaming at Sarah and then me....i never said a word to her...to make it short, it was just her being her spoiled brat self and saying we quit trying to talk to her or see her after she moved in w/that piece of crap boyfriend she dragged up from somewhere....yeah...he's a real winner..*sarcastic face* and that she's so mistreated and Dad & Uncle Pete never try to call her anymore or see her----Um, she wanted things that way!...
so when she said that Sarah yells at her:"Uh, last time they tried to see you was Easter and give you a card w/money and you screamed at them and made them leave B*TCH!".....Sarah kept calling her B*TCH and yelling, then she called her that..LOL...i just kept my mouth shut and kept on painting.....then Amanda tried to make me mad..i never said a word i ignored her, that made her more mad..haha!...Sarah should have not let her make her so mad......
Well they kept on so I called Uncle Pete and he showed up and stopped the yelling fight..he walked in and he goes:"What in the hell is goin' on now?!...hey!..you 2 stop this sh*t sit down! if i hear one more g*ddamn word outta you 2 i'm gonna kick you both outta this house you understand me?! now what's this all about?!"...neither of them had a reason just that Amanda provoked it all being a spoiled brat as usual...but she said Sarah did...lol....He goes:"Fightin' over nothin' not a damn thing, looks like to me!....if you don't have anything nice to say shut your damn mouths and leave."....so Amanda left....lol..Uncle Pete said:"These girls,these girls,these girls."..he shook his head annoyed and went to work.....
i tried to keep from laughing so much when they were screaming"B*TCH!"....bwahahaha!....
Grandpa's eye surgery went good...they sedated him and started the surgery..i got to watch the surgery on a tv in the next room....it's amazing how they can do all that to the eye and you still have vision!..they had needle things in his eyes and took off his lens of his eye,scraped the cataract off, sucked it into a vacuum needle and then put a new lens on his eye!...it's interesting to watch...
I drove him home from the surgery,he was really groggy afterward, but he kept wanting to go to the bar and have a drink!...LOL....i was like:"No way Grandpa you can't have a drink,you stay home,wear your sunglasses and rest."..he said:"Hey,now kid,i thought you were my buddy,you never nag me bout anything,let's go to the bar for a bit."......haha..so i took him to the bar at like 5pm that evening and he had a drink w/his old cowboy friends....haha...he wouldn't listen..you can't tell him anything and he's Grandpa, he's gonna do whatever he wants to do....he wouldn't wear the sunglasses he goes:"These g*ddamn things!"....i kept laughing..
Sarah fractured her foot friday after a barrel-racing event Travis's mom had...it was practice thing...well, Sarah fell and cracked her foot somehow she rolled her foot and it cracked her ankle...she has a cast..it was pretty big fracture..she's got Lortabs!..look out! bwahaha!..(joking)..
Dad called and he's all mad and worried and grouchy...and he goes:"I can't for the life of me understand how in the hell you girls get into so many g*ddamn messes!"....then he also grouched at us for going to a rough bad bar to see a band play w/Amy,Travis,Eli,Kevin..he knows the bar is BAD and we know it too..but we only stayed for 4 freaking songs!!! he went on a lecture tirade from hell as usual:"I'm not gonna set back and let you girls get into trouble..this going to any old bad bar at night in town w/friends sh*t is gonna stop...if i hear about you 2 going to anymore of these g*ddamn sh*tty places i am gonna embarrass the hell outta you!...I will show up and go right in there and drag your butts right outta there..you got it?"so we said:"But it was just 4 songs!you need to mind your own business!"....silence...he said:"Listen, the day you were born your life became my business, i don't care what you say..i'm lookin' out for you and if you ask me a million times if you can go to those places i'm gonna say NO! SORRY!...if you don't like it that's tooooo bad!" blah..blah..blah..some things NEVER change.*eye roll*
Diego and Jeff trailed us to the bar we are pretty sure we saw them at a back table spying on us....they've been following us and watching us to see what we are up to/where we are going....it's so annoying,like we are 16yrs old all over again!...god.....he's paranoid someone will harm us all the time...because he's been wild & crazy for years/into bad stuff,he knows what goes on in those places..i still can't help but think he's got someone really mad at him threatening something(other than hillbilly kin)someone from his past outlaw crew.....because he knows we wouldn't ever get into anything bad or do anything bad..but he may be leery because Amanda turned out like she did....wild & crazy....lol....thanks a lot dumb*ss Amanda...lol
It's very annoying and makes me feel like he thinks we are dumb or babies,or he doesn't trust our judgement of things....i know he knows we are smart..but it's not coming across that way to us..it's only making us feel tiny and dumb.."being on lockdown"..he's coming home next weekend.. ;(
i know the world is crazy and he's protective of us..but sometimes, it feels like our entire family is way too overprotective...friends think it's cute,cool & sweet our family is so bad*ss and then they are deathly protective over us girls and keep us away from bad people and things..it's a weird combo isn't it?....lol....i guess we should be thankful we have family that loves us so much..it's good to have,because some girls don't have family at all who cares....and they wind up in big troubles...
Our DadChad & all the men in our family---Feared & Loved by people,Tattooed,drinking,fighting,smoking,wild,hell-raising bad*sses, w/a F*ck you attitude to anybody who makes them mad..but yet, they are so worried and concerned over us girls and even cry over us being sick/hurt or when they miss us.....god it's craziness..i have quite the family....people think they are so cool and they tell us all the time:"You're sooooo freaking lucky to come from THAT family..your family is soooodamn COOL!"...and me & Sarah are just thinking.."Umm..Ok?..it's not that awesome."....LOL
i need to stop thinking about this crap and being all mad..oh well another day in the life!
Heard another Wade Bowen song yesterday while driving down the highway...it's soooo pretty...love this one too.....nothing like driving down the highway listening to some good music.
It rained a tiny bit this morning...cooled it off for a little while....oh well...Fall can't get here fast enough!
Took the gift to my half-awake,coffee drinking Aunt yesterday morning, to take to Dad in a week or so when she drives out that way to buy furniture in a city nearby where he's working...she's gonna drop it by his rent house and they're going to go have lunch...think he's kinda homesick.....hope he likes the gift i made him..Just wanted to be sure i got it to her in time, to take out there to him, incase i forgot because we are very busy working.....we still wish we could go see him and what his rent house looks like...oh well..too busy and she didn't ask us to go...she's probably gonna be too busy...
tomorrow morning i am taking Grandpa to have his eye surgery...we have to be there at like 7am..so i will have to leave here by 6am....he asked me to drive him home from the surgery...i think he's having a cataract removed?...something like that..but they have to sedate him and he has to wear those stylin' cool plastic fake sunglasses all day afterward!...bwahaha!...he was cracking jokes about wearing those cool shades yesterday...i think he's kinda nervous...but that's normal..i would be!
back to work..just waiting on a few trucks to get here...
Been working.....it got hot again and everyday is like living in a hot blow-dryer.....annoying...Seriously, i know i have b*tched all summer about how hot it is and all, but geez i'm sick of summer...i can't say it enough...it's boring,hot,annoying,miserable....enough whining...but i can't wait for September to get here....
In between moving panels from the corrals miles and miles apart, taking,loading them and moving them county to county pasture on Grandpa's place, i finally managed to get my pool taken down...it took 4 days to drain it all and finally yesterday at 3pm in 109 degrees we got that pool down and back in the box....i washed it all out then we let it air dry in the heat.....
i had to contend with one pesky frog and a turtle who were in the back yard just living it up in all the excess water everywhere...they just kept sitting there...LOL...so i moved them away from where we were....they were in the way and i was scared we might step on them.....yeah,so that was a chore itself just wrestling that big pool around and into the box.....
it rained saturday night a lot..so that helped more with crops and livestock...but sadly it's not enough and all the heat is evaporating it all again....oh well...
finally finished making my music-art scrapbook, complete with personalized tunes downloaded off Itunes for Dad....it's a surprise, i hope he likes it!....unfortunately, i won't be able to give it to him in person, because we have so much work to do....and i don't have time to go with my Aunt to see him....but i'm hoping today i can drop the present by her house so she can take it to him....
i wish she would ask me to go w/her to see him out there!...but i probably won't be able to with all the work we have going on...oh well...hope he likes it..it's really pretty and i worked so hard on making the whole thing...it's wrapped in blue paper & all blue ribbons/designs....
It finally rained...and has been raining the last few days on and off small showers...See,all that rain-dancing and praying worked...finally.....It's 80-something degrees right now and this morning while working it felt so nice outside...just like a Fall morning!.....relief......i hope we have broke the drought spell here in Oklahoma *fingers crossed* we have...It hasn't been enough rain yet...but i'm hopeful....the thunderstorms were really nice.....great sleeping weather...
Past few days have been busy working and taking care of pets...My black Burmese kitty Pumpkin (w/the lime green eyes)has been sick....lethargic..has fever(his ears are very hot)......some kinda urinary tract infection my vet said...she gave him amoxicillin and Reglan for nausea....so i have to chase him around the house and make him take his medicine!...lol...he's so cute, he runs from me and meows and hisses...the amoxicillin smells like banana-strawberry...so it can't be too bad kitty!...hope he gets better soon...
i hate when my pets are sick...they are my family too ya know! ;) love them all..i'm a worrier..Freckles (my horse) has a bit of a cough and i'm kinda worried over that, so i have been watching him...i think this weather is not only rough for people but animals too...
Think i'm going to take down my pool....hate too but the weather is making it impossible to keep up and the stupid grasshoppers flying in it.....this week i'll drain it and take it down..makes me kinda sad....but happy that fall is on the way..summer has sucked around here really....lol...
Haven't talked to dad at all in a few weeks....we were all over at Mark's house last night watching that movie "Stepbrothers" on the big screen tv...but that movie is so funny i laughed so much i cried!...if you haven't seen it ya gotta watch it....that actor-guy in it was named Will something..why can't i think of his name??!..i don't watch movies that much so i don't keep up with all that movie stuff.....but it was funny!
anyway..dad called last night while we were all at Mark's watching the movie and he got into a screaming fight w/Mark over the phone and Mark hung-up on him..he said he was telling Mark he was NOT our Dad and he was only trying to hurt his feelings because he can't be here...That's kinda sad...he always feels left out of our lives when he's gone working and he gets very jealous when we all have family get togethers and he has to be away working..i can understand that.....but what i can't understand is the yelling he does at Mark....
but,whatever...he never tried to talk to us...he just got mad at Mark and yelled at him and Mark hung-up on him...Grandma says those two have fought since they were little kids....lol...i wish i knew what is wrong with him and why he screams like that...we miss him...i wish he didn't have to work so far away and i wish he could be here.....i hate drama.
Heard this song on the radio today....love it..so pretty.I like a lot of his songs...still haven't seen him live YET.
Last night we went over to the bar and played guitars and sang...hey, every night is open mic night anymore....it's always mass chaos in the bar...but me & Sarah only go if family is in there in case someone bothers us or something like that...and as you know we ALWAYS have family in the bar!....haha!...
It's fun to play/sing and have people request songs and really appreciate your singing/playing....they keep asking me to sing and i get so embarrassed/worried that other musicians are gonna get annoyed or something horrible..but they never do...just a few of those drunk women who can't sing and think they can are the ones who give me the evil eye....bwahaha!...but that's women for you almost always catty & bitchy!...i try very hard to never be one of those girls!....lol.
Diego got into a fight last night with a drunk guy because he got smart*ss with him, we were sitting at a table and 4 tables over from us we see a table flip over,drinks go everywhere and Diego knocked that guy out cold!...lol...oh man, i love a good bar fight....haha...i know that is soooo wrong..but it's always great entertainment to see a well deserving loud mouth know it all get knocked out..... ;)
i don't drink much, i don't mind if others drink..i'm always designated driver...and i'm cool with that...i drove Eli & Amy home last night...i always get a good laugh when i help them to their doors, up the front steps..always a mess...haha...
Got home at 3am and me & cousin Sarah sat out on the front porch and watched the night sky...we saw 5 shooting stars!....why so many?..or was it meteors or comets?..i can't be sure..i only know that when i look at the night sky i am reminded of how tiny and microscopic i am in the universe....and that god must really love twinkling stars...there's so many up there..
so glad we live so far from civilization, that i think we can see every star in the sky at night...we're so far from lights of cities it's pitch black at night....we're lucky....more people need to watch the night sky...it's something you should do i think..i love to stare at the moon and think about things & people i miss....it's rather comforting knowing that no matter how far apart we may be, we still sleep under the same moon...
It's saturday!..oh big woo...it's still hot....i wish it was september.... ;(
The critter of the morning, this morning in the yard, was 4 coyotes lounging around the back yard eating dog food...they were really skinny...i feel kinda sad for all the animals...the drought is killing everything..every morning there is an animal in the backyard....a different one..the other day it was armadillo,raccoon,badger(who tried to fight my dogs..gripy ol thing!)....so every morning is a new critter as always, but lately they are eating dog food i think.....i don't care they aren't hurting anything......but if i see a Chupacabra, i am running for the hills!...LOL! ;(
Finished pulling up all the dead plants out of the garden this morning at 5am...it's all dead and really hard to pull up out of the hard dry ground...i usually like the smell of tomato vines..it's a weird smell i like, but anyway..those vines are all rotten now from the heat and they smelled so bad i gagged almost..lol...!.......so the garden is all gone...getting cleaned up for fall.....
I really thought i might try to grow some pumpkins for decorating and give them away this fall...but the seeds i planted blew away or those STUPID GRASSHOPPERS ate them....i hate those things....they have eaten everything....then they like to fly into my pool and float around...makes me so mad....god....
went to the mall yesterday with friends...we were looking in a bookstore and i found a calendar that was Zombies 2012 calendar....eww...it was gruesome looking & spooky the pictures on it...but oddly i was fascinated by the pictures..it was like so gross and disturbing but yet i kept looking at it..why?!..just drawn pictures you know..but yeah that was weird.....
at the candy store i saw a 5 pound gummy bear!....it was $25..it was ginormous..talk about sugar overload...geez...how could someone ever eat that?....it was strawberry....the cashier was showing us all the other flavors they had in it...every kind...he had just got them in....we were all mesmerized by it, like a bunch of nerds....lol.....but i have never seen a ginormous gummy bear...now..i...have...haha!
we went to Pizza Hut and had lunch...we saw some of the wild women that follow DadChad around were in there having dinner(his wild women harem..LOL!)..we tried to hide from them but they saw me & sarah...i thought:"GO AWAY!"....so they start asking us have we seen him/talked to him/where is he?..blah..blah..blah...you know the whole wild women interrogation tactics....lol....I just said nicely:"Nope, we haven't seen him,he's busy working in west Texas,no, don't know when he'll be home to visit.".....and that's true, because he hasn't called in awhile..he's busy and grouchy as usual i'm sure....
They kept talking and we were trying to eat pizza with our friends and they were interrupting....that's really rude...Amy goes:"Well, that was rude as hell!"...and i agree people always do that,try to talk to ya....annoying, asking us that crap in front of our friends....oh well...that's the wild women for ya...haha
done with our work for the day already....nothing to do today but sleep,sit in the dark & wish it was Fall!
Went to the pow-wow yesterday after we got done working...I always go see my friends when they invite me....Star,C.R., Eli, Tommy, W.P., Silver.....It wasn't just one tribe it was several...some kinda gathering pow-wow....but anyway we went...
Some had their teepees set up and some lazy butts like W.P. just had camping tents set-up....lol....Everyone was laughing about that....hey, modern comanche!...haha...They had made food, some kinda corn stuff and indian tacos, buffalo burgers and other stuff...
me & Sarah sat in Eli's teepee....they are great for keeping out the sun and they are ventilated because the bottom of the teepee isn't staked down all the way totally to the ground(you know the teepee never actually touches the ground where it's anchored)....anyway...his teepee was blue-red....if i had a teepee mine would be royal blue on the outside and the inside would be sky blue or yellow!...haha...i told him that yesterday and he goes:"Hey,sounds pretty! maybe you should have designed this..next year jules, next year".....LOL...yes,i'm a dork.....
i don't know how they all had the pow-wow in the heat it was 113 yesterday! and that is NO heat index...the thermometer in the truck read 125 with the windows down....this is craziness....it lasted all day and they still danced...it must be hot with their dancing stuff on, the headress, beads, feathers...but the face paint is made from stuff that is good sunscreen....we even painted our faces...Star painted our faces for us...mine was blue with white & red.....
at one point at about 3pm everyone dancing got so hot they were all getting weary and C.R. said:"That's it i quit this thing, its too damn hot man!"....but they did manage to make it rain, i think, because there was a rain shower at 4pm after the rain dance....just didn't last long enough or go anywhere...*sad face*
Eli said he thought it was funny to finally see Apaches & Comanches all together getting along...LOL....you know how they always talk about each other....
I'm not an F.B.I.(full-blood-indian) Cherokee, my great-grandparents on Grandma's side were F.B.I. Cherokee indians...My Grandma is a F.B.I. Cherokee...and my Grandpa has some cherokee & comanche.... Indian Bloodlines are a touchy subject because so many stupid people go around wanting to be indian to get money and they make up that they are, or because they are some kinda new-age weirdos that think it would be the cool thing to be part indian, they don't look indian or know anything about the tribes...
Believe me, some nuts are always claiming to be indian even here in Oklahoma people move here from far away, and start saying that to get money or attention and they will look very European....it shows in your face features if you are in the blood-line....they only look like idiots and are very despised amongst the tribes...they get irate about those people....it's stupid...
Oh!..i met a guy yesterday with the last name RainCloud...cool..i'd love to have a name with "rain" in it...Julia RainCloud...haha...i like that...or Julia RainDrop?...bwahaha...ok, i'll stop but it would be an awesome name to have...yes, i'm a dork....i do know some people with the last name Dancing Cloud & Rain Water...
it was fun i guess..just a hot pow-wow..
we're all about the rain around here,wishing, hoping,praying,dreaming...
off to work before the sun wakes up.
xoxo Eli says that i come from a good strong bloodline..and why i am so intuitive, have those dreams,premonitions...it's a gift he says..because everyone with that much in their blood has the gifts....if i could only make it rain!!! ;)
Did a kitty rescue this morning at 3am...my dogs had a wild kitten in a tree...so me & Sarah ran out there and tied the dogs up, got a ladder and tried to coax him down from the tree.....he got down and i caught him, but he scratched my hands up really bad in the process and ran for the hills....lol....hopefully wherever he ran to, he will be safe and away from coyotes or anything that will harm him....he must be tough enough, if he can scratch like that...ouchie!..we helped him i guess...
Grandpa paid us our wages this month...he gave us each a check and we went to cash it at the bank yesterday...we don't have time to go shopping really, so we just got a few things for breakfast..bagels, strawberry pop-tarts,milk,cream cheese...we eat small dinners at noon at whichever town we happen to be in,whatever cafe or eating joint we can find....it's too hot to eat anything....just drink water and cry...haha!
Maybe next week when i go shopping with Amy(Hi Ames!) & everybody, i will find something to buy...but i haven't bought any new clothes in a year..i don't need clothes or anything...i have lots of things in storage boxes in the hall closet.... i'm not much of a shopper..i save my money...when you have to check price tags and keep your check book balanced you don't want things..you realize they are un-needed..sure i wish i could buy things without looking at the price tags...but that's not in the cards for me...so i don't really care that i can't afford things i want...it's just how things have gotta be...keeps things real..grounded..
Yesterday i got a really great compliment from a great friend who said:"Julia,is the kinda girl that could(but wouldn't ever), steal my man, spit in my face, and i would still say---Julia, you deserve better than him...everybody just loves Julia so much! you can't not like her! she could do evil things,no one would ever believe she did it, and everyone would say, No way! she would never do that!..leave Julia alone!...she's the real America's Sweetheart."
oh man...that's really sweet and i got so embarrassed when we were all sitting at the table and everyone raised their tea glasses!...i know i turned red!.....i have worked hard to be a sweetheart and a lady...so it made me feel great to be complimented on it....i had to blog that so i can remember that.
