bought seasonal bath stuff....

I really like this band and most their songs....saw them in concert a few years ago....they're really a great band i think....from Oklahoma too..No, i'm not biased!...haha
 
Well....i spent most the day shoppin yesterday in OKC....we had to go see relatives there so we all went shopping.....It was nice to get away from work for the day and drive to OKC...I didn' buy much actually....i was looking for some new fall clothes...some more brown/golds/oranges to add to my clothing piles.....
 
none of the stores had many sweaters or long sleeves...lots of jeans but no jackets...stuff like that...I was kinda disappointed...but instead i went...guess where?!...ok,act surprised now..BATH&BODY WORKS!!!.....LOL...

i bought soap/bath stuff...why?....haha..because it smells soooo good and i wanted too buy it..there you go!..it's my seasonal tradition...lol...
 
I just bought  2 things...

Candy Corn hand sanitizer...smells really good!...I like to keep hand sanitizer with me at all times..because sometimes while working out in the pasture and sale barns you don't have any soap available when you need it...i keep it in my purse when i go somewhere too....especially with the whole town and surrounding areas having the bad flu now!...i definitely don't need that..yikes!*sprays Lysol and runs far away*....lol

 

And yes of course Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin shower gel...smells good....i got the last one of that..happened twice yesterday...

 

We all went into Sephora(as usual)..and i bought the last bottle of I Love Candy Corn by Philosophy bubble bath/shampoo/shower...well i can only use it for shower gel or shampoo...NOT bubble bath because i cannot ever use bubble bath because of my kidney problems...instant infection from bubble bath soaps..so those are sadly outlawed from my life forever..oh well....health first always..

 

seems as though everyone pretty much likes to buy seasonal bath favorites just as much as i do...considering i got the last bottle of those 2 things in separate stores...i see a pattern with the candy corn scent product impulse buying....but those are just too fun!..Haha....

 

Saturday morning i am driving back to OKC to house sit/dog sit..again..hopefully there won't be any problems like last time...no tornadoes or scary people walking in the driveway..that was no fun at all....I don't really wanna do this but i was asked to do this for family members who have always been amazing to me...so i can't say no..it's a huge favor to them as they are leaving the state for the weekend......

 

 

I don't like staying in the city nor do i like spending a lot of time there....i feel crowded and bored in city/metro...it's just not something i like...and could never grow to like either..i'm a farm girl...not a city girl ever....i don't belong there and i know it...haha...i guess a weekend won't be too bad...i just don't like that part of the state..i need home...the mountains and the wide open space.....

 

 

anyway see ya next week blog....

kick the past to the curb.......

great song...love it.

 

I hate DIRT...lol...really windy this weekend....allergies like crazy!!!...I'm taking my Benadryls...Spent most the weekend working the sale....getting all the dirt from the barns and roads blown all over me by the wind...sneezes.....It DID rain this weekend some!..Hallelujah!...that helped a little...lol.

 

After work last night we went over to our annual super-ginormous family Garage Sale and watched the Aunties all gather around their $4million bazillion dollars worth of stuff they rounded up from their storage units they seem to forget they have....LOL.....

 

The whole town turns out every year to Auntie K's house in town and buys up everything...because they buy all that expensive stuff they NEVER use...then forget the have it after throwing it in the storage units,then discover it all a year later and say:"Oh...i forgot i bought that...well...time for a sale girls!".....stick a sticker on it and sale it way cheap in the garage sale to get rid of it....Haha!....it's an endless cycle....my poor uncles....this has caused divorces....lol...

 

they raked in a couple thousand $'s worth as they do every year...it lasted fri-today at 4pm....i think a lot of people from church showed up to it today seemed like after sunday dinner...

 

I like garage sales because you are getting rid of the old and allowing someone else to have it when you don't want it....memories are a tough one BUT if something holds bad memories to it or makes you feel sad/negative....well...put it in a garage sale or give that crap away!...haha...No need to keep gloomy things around....i think all those kinda things can be downers to your soul....that's why my Auntie Lahoma had her divorce sale that time!...LOL...hilarious and fun!....

 

the past is the past..and people have got to let go of all that negativity to move onto a new phase in their lives to start over i believe that 100%....It's kinda like destroying the old part of you..ya know in a way...It allows you to get rid of old feeling and bad memories....attached to those belongings...Jewelry someone who broke your heart gave you?...well....He's an a-hole!..so get rid of it!....Bwahaha!....

 

Looking at all that stuff today at the garage sale made me start thinking about how so many people hate on themselves and others for past mistakes they make or some stupid BS all the time....and i think that's really wrong to do that...you shouldn't judge people for their mistakes because nobody is perfect...people do change if they want to bad enough...i don't judge people ever.....i treat people how they treat me...i see past all the flaws...everyone has them....if they're nice to me..i'll be nice right back..if they're mean..i'll be mean too!.....

 

i really just want the best for everyone...no more self-destructing!...it's soooo sad how people do that to themselves..i've never been self destructive so obviously i don't know what they go through...but i always tell people i love/care about:"If you can't get your sh*t together for yourself..get it together for me because i care and i want you to get better!".....there's just too much hate/anger/darkness/depression/addiction out there in the world ya know?...

 

More people need to be happy with what they do have and remember that some people don't even have that much....nobody's life is all peachy..they need to let go of the past and move into the now....

 

be unique and be a good person...they could use all that darkness for good...get off their addictions and channel that negativity and self neglect into something uplifting and good for the world....if people would STOP feeling sorry for themselves get up off their butts and go make a good difference in the world somewhere...the world will be a better place....every little bit counts out there....there's about a bazillion places they could help out and do good in the world..

 

probably doesn't make any sense what i'm rambling about right now..getting sleepy...but there you go blog!

 

Nite~Nite

think things through first....

This was on the satellite radio today..I have to admit i really like this song...Lol....Who hasn't been in that situation before? with boyfriends?....I have!....

It made me think about Travis today...and how i saw him today and avoided him....Uneasy feeling after being friends all our lives and our friendship has to be over...because of the way he has treated me in the past few years...he was NEVER my boyfriend, thank goodness! but losing that friendship feels like a weird breakup you know?....it was his fault definitely...

I got soooo mad when i saw him today and he looked at me and turned around the other way too..we both knew we didn't wanna face each other...we've fought on and off for years but this time we will never be friends again...good riddance!.not sad at all..lol......I'm happy we are no longer friends and we don't fight anymore and he doesn't have negative hurtful things to say to me.....he's kicked to the curb for good this time!...haha!

Trust me, i'm in no way conceited or stuck up..but I really think he's secretly jealous over the guys who want to go out with me...because he knows i can't ever look at him that way...because..hello!..GROSS he's Travis! to me, he could never be anything but a friend to me...we've been friends since we were 6 years old!.....AND that is why he started treating me like crap the last few years.....yeah ok...who cares...lol..

Vaccinated some horses today for West Nile disease...from mosquitoes...it's floating around this area....the shots were $12 a piece from the vet....took a while loading and unloading horses...I haven't really seen any mosquitoes flying around lately..but i took precautions like Grandpa said to....get it taken care of before it gets started....like anything else,prevent before it gets out of control....

So many people need to take precautions with everything in their lives...not be so reckless....they would save themselves and others a lot of trouble/pain in the end...i look at some people and what they do to themselves and others just by being careless and i think:"Omg!..Did you really just do that and not even care what that will cause or just not care who or what you hurt?!"...some people..not being judgemental here!...i just don't get people and the crazy sh*t they try to do you know?....

i always think things through before i attempt to do anything.....I plan/plot/and think through all things i do..i think about the outcomes of situations and act them out in my mind...think about cause and effect..i  watch others screw up and learn from their mistakes---what works and what doesn't..what not to do and what to do....that's just how i roll..LOL!...i think it has saved me alot of trouble/pain in my life...

so....i'm either very smart or very nerdy....lol

nite!

my favorite older tv show.....

Been watching one of my favorite tv shows from when i was a little girl...."Designing Women" I haven't seen it in forever!.....I grew up watching w/my Grandma and Aunts when i was a little girl..they own interior design stores too!..I always thought it was cool one had the same name as me! Julia.

It's so funny...i just caught this episode last night accidentally...so happy i did.....I laughed so hard at this episode i was crying.....i could totally see myself getting into a situation like this and being stuck there!....Haha!...i've been in similar messes...having to hide from people....lol...

Part 1

Part 2

not any shows on tv i look forward to watching now days...they'll never be anything good like this i don't think...that i would like as much....trying to re-watch most these episodes on tv when i can catch the re-runs like this one...

calling it a day...I'm soooooo TIRED..hours are all crazy with having to go to Texas Panhandle this week to take Great Uncle a few of those horses he bought from Grandpa....Good ol Texas Panhandle....lol..

looks like we beat the line of storms home today...maybe the rain will fall again all night....I sleep so peaceful when it rains....

Nite~Nite.

negativity is no good.....

Watched this concert last night on one of the music channel on the satellite..awesome...I really like all of her songs...couldn't pick an absolute fave...love them all!....Thanks to Auntie K.for introducing me to this music several years ago!....i watched the entire concert last night on tv without falling asleep as tired as i was i kept watching....lol...

It thunderstormed quite a bit today..loved it....Wow ! It was nice to hear the thunder and lightning crackling in the sky...pretty..the rain was very much appreciated and nice...RELIEF...still not out of the drought, but every drop counts!...It was nice just taking a few quiet moments and listening to and watching the rain fall....the air is clean again...no dust!...cooler...ahh..so nice!

Been very emotional today..I started crying today and just thinking about all the crap going on and how i want things to be the way i want them to be....right now and they can't be for a while i guess....just work and life in general...i want answers not guesses about everything....i pulled myself up out of the tears and went back to working....i laughed later...lol..actually i think a lot of it is from being so tired from working and the hot hot hot weather all the time.....that'll change soon.

But i do know that everything will work out as it's supposed to....I have a good feeling life will be back to my semi-normal whatever you call it eventually, and things will be ok again..*fingers crossed*..things will be different but a good different...everyone has bad days and worries, hopefully everyone has the ability to be emotional to cry...crying is good.....

i think it's best to keep in mind that nobody's life is all roses& butterflies....everyone has troubles and family/job issues...that's just life...things get bad, then they get better..things change,people change....lol....

life is full of challenges and changes...frustrations...life can be a total mess..we all know this...

It's best to always maintain a positive attitude and frame of mind...have upbeat positive outlooks,don't be expecting the worst all the freaking time!...dragging your mind/soul through the motions,99% of the time worrying is for no reason..just makes you lose sleep and go nutballs!......

i think when you focus on or think on bad negative things all the time it affects your mind/body/soul...you're just "borrowing trouble" as my Auntie calls it....meaning--just looking for something bad to go wrong....conjuring up, bad thoughts/spirits...ooh spooky!...lol 

so i need to STOP inviting negativity into my soul/mind...it's worthless..keep the stupid thoughts away..find something challenging to focus a lot of your extra brain space on....that's what i'll do...

nite~nite

have faith in yourself........

For my family& friends...makes me think of you all...

Heard this older song on a mix cd i found in my storage boxes...really beautiful song!...Trisha Yearwood has an amazing voice....one of my fave singers of all time.

Mission accomplished!...Today i got my Birthday gift into the right hands to hopefully get it to my Dad....keep your fingers crossed it gets to him!...I really hope he likes it and it makes him smile...I really miss him...it's on my heart everyday....there's so many things i don't have the answers to that i can know what is going on...you know?.....

I hear things around town and people whisper things involving his name and it's for the good...i just hope it's all true....i know certain things i can't know....so i just have to have faith and pray.....i just think of all the fun things we are missing out on going to see and all that....Sometimes a girl just needs to talk to her Dad you know?.....he has the right advice and words to tell you...when friends can't be anything but silly!...(and we know mine are all sillies!)..i am too....lol..

Since taking on extra work with things around this place it can be confusing and stressful worrying that i am making the right decisions on my own.....I need to have faith in myself,my choices and my views on all things...I need to believe in myself more so--Good for me to do so...standing basically by myself, calling the shots in all areas of work/life....but i guess that's why they call it growing up right?...i mean, i believe in myself, it's just that i have doubts in all areas of my life....so i've just decided to throw my hands up and not give a crap anymore...NO MORE WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING.

To be a strong woman like all of the women in this family are...i've gotta take a few pointers from them about being strong/tough...and i think one of those first things would be to never doubt anything i wanna do or say...if you say it or do it the way you want to....well that's the way it is and whoever says anything negative or makes fun of you?....well that's their problem they don't like it or think i'm stupid or dumb....

Like Grandma says:"Be in Charge of yourself...don't you ever let anyone call the shots for you..make your own decisions and stand on your feet and stand up tall...NEVER let anyone knock you around or put you down for what you wanna say/do...If they don't like something you do/say.....that is their damn problem"...and that is the best advice my Grandma has given me.....I think of that everyday....

my thoughts and ideas are my own..not anybody else's...it's my life to live and make decisions based on how I see things...nobody views all things the same....i have unique ideas and i will use those as i see fit to do things as i think they need to be done....in all areas of MY life I am in control.....if i like to walk around bare foot on rainy days to splash in mud puddles, and chew bubble gum all freaking day long....well that's my choice...LOL..just an example!

i can handle the big decisions on all this business stuff....maybe?...yikes...ME=just a single girl standing on her own 2 feet making HUGE decisions hoping they are wise ones....$$$....when i need advice i really  have nobody to turn to right now....sooooo scary!!!

i think we should never be afraid to love our off-the-wall ideas....i may think they are off-the-wall wacky, but they are probably very smart and intellectual to others and make good differences in things/people in my life..who knows?....nobody has all the right answers to anything....

this probably doesn't make any sense whatsoever blog....haha.....i just don't wanna feel worry/doubt with myself in anything....i need to believe in myself more than ever....i need to be my own cheerleader mentally....

if i'm ever gonna run things around here and show everyone i can do that on my own..i have got to have faith in myself.....

anyhow...hope it storms tonight with lots of rain...helps me sleep all this off my mind tonight....

nite-nite

end of summer carnival.....

Whew!...it's been a long day...really tired.

Spent last night at the carnival in our smalltown walking around w/friends...rode the ferris wheel!...Always fun! ;) ..something about going to the carnival at night with all the lights,crowds, and excitement around that makes it more fun...well..we did see a stupid fight and the cops were everywhere....it was funny!...neither of those guys could fight their way out of a wet paper bag last night by the rides!!!...Bwahaha!....of course everyone stopped to watch and laugh.....

and then today we went back early and bought a few things at the art/craft booths...well...i just bought some homemade soaps...Blackberry,watermelon, Vanilla sugar, Lavender, and, toasted almond...$4.00/a slice of soap....smells so gooooood!..you know how i am about homemade soaps all natural ingredients....well anything crafty like that i am a sucker for it.....lol..

Yes, we looked at the food side of the carnival today at noon...LOL...because what is a carnival without greasy fried sugary food/drinks???!...haha!....I just got 1 bag of cotton candy and took home...it will last me a week probably!...i love plain old real cotton candy BUT i hate anything like cotton candy bubblegum or perfume sprays...ick!...it makes me nauseated...weird huh?....

didn't play any carnival games or throw any darts...but i did throw water at Steven after he threw ice at me.....he deserved that...lol...

thought we saw Diego today spying on us over by the huge parking lot full of cars..talking into his phone and he hid when we noticed him...LOL!....i swear it was him spying on us....we haven't seen him in a looooooong time....he's been gone about as long as the rest of them.....weird....we all started laughing and Sarah goes:"Makin' sure we aren't hanging out with the wrong crowd and gettin' in trouble!".....haha..we busted out laughing because you know that's SO true...they're all spying on us at all times.....haha! so we waved at "the person" if it was him or not anyway!!!...Bwahaha!...it could've been someone we didn't know..we waved at him like idiots and scared him away probably!.....Haha!!!

hilarious, but seriously i really do appreciate that my family cares about me that much to look out for me.....like Grandpa says about Dad:"One thing you can count on, is that he will ALWAYS take care of you and look out for you..he looks out for his family." aww....even though i feel like a baby somedays...it means a lot to me to be loved/cared about....

anyways......having the End Of Summer Carnival takes place means we're that much closer to this hot/dry Summer from Hell being over!!!...

calling it a night i'm so sleepy.

kisses.

Need more rain please!??......

It rained a tiny bit yesterday evening.....hearing thunder was such a relief!...with this drought i'm sure everyone will take any rain they can get.....if it would just rain more....pray!

Finally finished cleaning out all the stalls and tidying things up in the barn this morning...eradicated a ton of Black Widow spiders...eek!....they are EVERYWHERE...you have to be careful each way you turn..you never know where they are dangling....Oh man....i hate those things.....deadly poisonous....i sprayed a lot of bug spray on their webs and watched them fall off...then i smashed their eggs w/my boots on...just to be sure they are gone......they are lethal for animals as well as humans.so they needed to leave the barn.....seems as though, according to local tales,that the drought has caused all the huge numbers of insects growing.....If grasshoppers had any monetary value, i'd be a gazillionaire`x10 by now i promise you that!....Haha....they are everywhere as well.....gross!

Because summer isn't summer without snowcones!

went and bought snowcones last night w/Amy,Sarah, and Lacey....we had fun!..cruisin' around town at 8pm after the small rain clouds passing by...felt good....but not Fall yet...i got strawberry cheesecake as usual.....lol

Oh! and i finished my Dad's Birthday present...i made him a cd holder decorated it in blue/stars fabric and glitter blue ribbons....made him 9cds of new music from itunes---he may/may not know of,an angel wing necklace i made,AND bought him a bottle of Cool Water Cologne--love the smell of that!...hopefully i get to get the gifts all to him..i don't know how i will find my Aunt to take it to him or have it sent to him?...hope she can get that to him!..kinda worried if she can/can't?..wish me luck on this!!!.....his Bday is in 2 weeks,but next week i'll work on getting it in the right hands early enough.....I want it to surprise him while he is working..make him laugh/smile/cry....so he will know i love him and i care about all he's doing for us......i really hope it's a good gift..i think it's very pretty if i must say so myself!...and i put a sweet message in the card..i bet he cries when he reads it..i miss him lots..

anyhow,off to get that welder-guy to work on the trailer today sometime....

wish for lots more rain!!!

love,julie

cappuccino time coming soon.....

Been listening to Michael Buble today......love his voice...

Spent most the weekend talking to one of my cousins from OKC who is a total snob when it comes to the hillbilly relatives and all their BS....LOL....we are just soooooo freaking terrible when we get together and make fun of all of them...haha!....she's a very wealthy high class city girl and she can really pick them apart and make fun of them...she always assures me that i'm normal....lol.....

It was great to talk to her even though all we did was make fun of them and put them down the whole weekend....We'd just look at each other and bust out laughing uncontrollably when my stuck-up Aunt(her mom) mentioned their names....Bwahaha!...She goes:"Mom says they are all real sketchy, trash!"....i laughed and laughed:"She's right about that,they are!".....

my Auntie is such a B*tch/snob that just to be mean to idiots like that when they walk up to her and try to talk to her or make conversation-she just looks at them,says nothing and asks:"I don't have a clue who you are,you must have me confused w/someone else."..and walks away from them..LOL....she did that to them at the party last weekend!....Haha..it was super funny..they deserve it.

we made fun of various other hillbilly crap they do and how dumb they all are.....they think they are all sooooo smart but they are very dangerous,insane/embarrassing,uneducated and just stupid....losers.

It made me feel great to rant&rave w/her and make fun of them.....She hates them as much as i do evidently...well.....everyone in our family hates them.....they are annoying!...

Nooooo,i'm not turning into a snob.....it was a very much needed "make fun of stupid hillbillies weekend"...

one more thing blog.....Super excited about the cappuccino machine i'm getting soon!

just wish Fall would hurry up and get here now, so i can use it weekly....

Kisses.
