Wow...longest day ever it seems...A rainy day though and that is good!
My day started out w/a trip to town and buying the usual things needed..toothpaste,laundry soap,deodorant,strawberry toaster streudel,bagels, cream cheese--breakfast things ya know because we have lunch in town everday we work...oh, we did buy lots of soup...we've been stocking up on soup incase their is a soup famine!...LOL..joking....because it's fall and soup is a necessity around here on cool days....
I also needed a new eyeliner for my makeup collection..i always use liquid eyeliner on my eyes! always...it looks so good it's like i'm painting when i use it..lol..love it..i use black...today i bought black eye liner w/glitter in it called Licorice by Hard Candy...i love their make-up..not tested on animals, and it's pretty cool..all kinda of colors & glitters in their make-up that this artistic, cool cowgirl chick can be creative with....god i love all the colors of makeups & nail polishes they have...i'm totally in love w/their stuff they have! ok, but i can't use eye make up just yet on my bloody eye...it's looking better day by day though and healing..still see great!
After that we went to the sale ALL DAY and worked....just got home....I really showed Uncle Pete & Diego today that I CAN hook a goose neck trailer onto the truck just perfect!..LOL...ALL BY MYSELF...and i loaded 2 bucking bulls(ooh..dangerous work!) ALL BY MYSELF!...hahaha!..i showed him...he was doubting me i could tell....
we drank coffee this morning at the sale w/all the old cowboy friends & Grandpa, They played dominoes while waiting, drank their coffee and smoked their cigarettes,talked...i just love that...they're all some of my favorite people....so laid-back & chill....
then at noon we sat w/Uncle Pete & the crew,watched the sale, ate nachos at the barn concession..I drank pink lemonade & Diego kept teasing me that i had slipped liquor in it and i laughed..:"NO!",,so then Harrell P.walked in and set down by me and annoyed me about my "vampire blood eye" and wouldn't leave, so i told Diego:"OK, now i need some liquor!"..and he just laughed so hard he cried..LOL....he goes:"I can see why! Sh*t i need a drink now! Does he ever shut the hell up?!!"..Harrell annoys everybody...it is a known fact..so he was there all day annoying me..ALL DAY w/Harrell is too much for me!!!....Sarah yelled at him:"Don't you have somewhere else you need to go Harrell?!"....bwahahaha!
and NO i don't love Harrell..i don't have a crush on him either and i never will..he's not crushable! ever!...but that Clint aww..he IS crushable and me & Sarah both have a huge crush on him..... ;)
anyway that was my day...just took a shower & everybody's already gone to the bar...i think i'm staying home i'm so freaking tired..even watching a good bar fight doesn't sound like fun to me tonight!..what is wrong w/me?!..LOL....yes, i'm exhausted.
tomorrow night we are going to Auntie J.'s Cowgirl Party..where we cowgirls all sit around drink margaritas/wine,watch movies,talk and look at all the "cowgirl bling"(jewelry,belts,purses,sparkled horse gear,candles,soaps & stuff she has for her parties) her house is like a freaking store!..it's so beautiful and full of sparkles!..i love it....

antibiotics & sun do not mix!!!.......
I'm tired...just got home for the day...
My eye is looking better, the blood is going away more so today, it's clearing up fast....it was glued shut yesterday from the eye drops and from it healing...gross...
Everybody stares at my bloody eye and goes:"Oh man that is freaky looking! how do you see out of it?!" and i just say it's not damaged bad just bruised/scraped on the white of my eye...the bruising makes it look all over my eye....lol....
it is spooky looking/kinda cool,i have 1 normal looking eye and 1 bloody spooky red eye!..Mwahahaha!.. i'm ready for Halloween already anyhow!....haha...Harrell was teasing me about my eye and i told him joking:"Yeah...you should see the guy i beat up...he looks bad..i kicked his ass!"...bwahahaha!...i actually got beat up by a mesquite tree,but he doesn't have to know that!...LOL.....
my vision is great and my eye is not as sore....they say the eye heals faster than any part of the body, so i'm well on my way....they told me that it will take 2weeks to look completely normal again and all the blood will be absorbed back into the eye...isn't that cool how it does that?
haven't been able to find a sleeping mask they said to sleep w/one on, so i've just been using my blue bandanna tied over my eyes at night.....haha..works just as good i'm sure.
i totally forgot that my eye drops are antibiotics and i'm not supposed to be in the sun while using them the box says....BIG MISTAKE..we had to work out in the pastures & then corrals yesterday----feeding/catching 80 steers for the sale friday...had a round-up....and it was 109 degrees..yep..again...that weatherman is a liar!...and i got sick...i got a rash and felt like i was going to faint after 2 hours of being out in the heat/sun...
so i almost puked and i went to set in the truck and get out of the sun & Uncle Pete made Cody drive me home...i argued w/him and i was so stubborn to prove to them that i was tough enough to last til we were done, and Uncle Pete yells at me:"Julia!..listen to me you are gettin' sick G*ddamn It!..you're takin' those antibiotic drops! you aren't supposed to be out in the sun ARE YOU?! HUH?!"..and i said:"OMG!..i totally forgot about that!" and he goes:"That's exactly what i thought! now go home before you faint damn it!"...yell..yell...yell.....blah..blah...
yep that was stupid julie.....
so i got home drank lots of water, took a chilly shower,took tylenol, and then got in bed under the ceiling fan...drifted off to sleep.....
it finally stormed last night at 2am,things cooled off and i slept better from then on....
cooler rainy week expected & a rainy-thundery night tonight..ahh!..finally!.
i know i will sleep sound tonight....IF those coyotes aren't in the yard yipping after the storms that is...haha...

MY eye injury.....
Just got Grandpa out of the hospital friday...he was released....and i went into the ER at 7am yesterday morning!....
We were feeding cows & horses yesterday on the place that has all the mesquite trees in the pasture....well, i was trying to find a new baby cow that was sick, and i did find it shading under a mesquite tree...i leaned over to help him up & doctor him, and a mesquite thorned branch slapped me right in the eye when i was getting out from under the tree!.....
if you don't know how big & sharp mesquite thorns are here's a pic of one:

if you don't know how big & sharp mesquite thorns are here's a pic of one:
It did some bad damage...my eye started bleeding & my vision got blurry...i started panicking that i had scratched my iris/retina/pupil!...it's all too weird i hurt my eye after i have been taking Grandpa to all his eye surgeries...i hope his eye trouble hasn't cursed me!.......
But anyway Uncle Pete took me to the ER after i drove back to the house about to freak out i was gonna lose my eye....they washed out my eye in the ER and did some tests on it w/stain/black light...luckily i had NO scratches on my retina/pupil/iris....should heal in a month..my sight is fine they said...*fingers crossed* it stays good!
i have a subconjunctive hemorrhage(which is basically a scratch w/blood on the white of my eye) & a corneal abrasion...it is bloody as can be...my eye looks like it could be a halloween makeup thing!...(not joking)it's very frightening but they told me in ER that it's not as bad as it looks.....i will have a bloody sore eye for a few weeks...oh cool!...LOL.....
Uncle Pete did a great job calming me down from my panic and he kept telling me it was gonna be ok...he took me to Walgreens to get my prescription...yep, back at good ol Walgreens AGAIN...for the 196876767billion time this month already!....haha...they gave me antibiotic eye drops...apparently mesquite thorns are poisonous Eli told me last night...but nobody told me that...they knew better! i would lose my mind if i had known that....lol..
I have to wear sunglasses til it heals...and keep a check on it, no eye strain/no reading..oops!...hopefully it gets better..i'm wearing sunglasses right now typing and it's 3am!....it hurts bad i couldn't sleep...
AND SSh!...do not tell my Dad...we aren't telling him because he will lecture me,yell at me about being accident prone, worry & cry over it....But...it's tough dangerous work being a cowgirl, i know what is expected of me & i will prove i am tough enough to do all this..just because i am a girl, i am not weak & scared..i may be accident prone some, ok....well......A LOT.... & Sarah may be too, but we will prove we can do this.....
he's soooo crazy acting anymore he flips out about us getting hurt all the time & i do not need lectures for 45minutes about how i need to be CAREFUL & let the guys do the dangerous stuff....i don't wanna be treated like a baby & i don't need his crazy emotional lectures either...
i know a tree i'm gonna have cut down and used for firewood this winter! bwahaha!
kisses!

it's cool finally.......
Been listening to this Will Ackerman guy's music at night lately again, i fall asleep to it every night..so peaceful..love it..This is a very pretty piece of music i think...found this random video for it before, and it didn't work i think..so hopefully it will work this time.
it's Fall in a few weeks, so my music listening habits change into instrumentals & rat pack type tunes...don't ask me why, it's just what i do....i often wonder if other people do that?....
Amazing how once the weather turns cool how much better everyone acts & feels.....it affects every part of life...i love fall it's my favorite season...
It's been 49 degrees the past few mornings & in the 80's during the day!-----after all those 110's & 113's degrees it's a huge relief.... ;)
I even got chilly last night!..i woke up shivering in my bed and had to go and get an extra blanket out of the hall closet...it's really great to be cold again....lol
Kinda been a stress-filled day, today...
Had to take Grandpa in to the ER today...he's having to have his appendix out...he got sick today and the Dr.said that it was an appendicitis......that's one of my biggest fears---is ever having appendicitis!.....yikes!
going to try and get some sleep tonight & go see him tomorrow...me & Sarah have been working all day tired & dirty....we had to find 45 cows that we thought got lost in that one pasture, but they were on the creek-bed in the shade...MAJOR PANIC!...stress! we thought we had lost them or they had gotten out somewhere, then we had to rope 2 steers because they wouldn't get back across through the gate..stubborn...but at least i am a good roper!...haha!
AND then after all that we got a call from Grandpa he was in pain & sick so we hurried up & rushed him to the ER...i was nervous for him.
Grandma & Mark are there w/him right now at the hospital...i may have to drive into the town and pick Grandma up tonight?..i don't know quite yet, so i may need to try and stay awake...i'm so sleeeeepy!
so anyway that was my day
~kisses to everyone.~

Walgreens rocks!..lol.......
Whew!...finally have time to set down at the computer and type on this thing....
Grandpa's eye surgery went good.....he says he can see A LOT better now...it's a huge relief for him...he can see everything now he said....i'm happy for him...we must have made 4 trips to Walgreens over the past few days...getting his eye meds,Grandma's blood pressure pills,and then Friday i found myself back in there w/friends after we went to the mall...
Walgreens has their Fall stuff out!...we go totally nerd over the Fall aisle i swear!...LOL...just goes to show you how ready we are for it to get here....haha....i bought a coffee cup that has a leaf on it---it's brown/orange/purple...to drink my hot chocolate w/marshmellows, and sometimes capuccino in.....
AND i bought a strand of candy corn lights to decorate with....as if i need anymore fall decor!...but they are cute & whimsical...i had to have them to add to my collection...i think candy corn is cute in it's own way...i like the smell of it...but it's waaaay to sweet for me to eat..maybe one piece once in a while....that goes for those candy pumpkins too, cute but too sweet.
My cousin is a pharmacist at that one Walgreens, so we always have to go in there and annoy him...haha!..we make faces at him and wave at him...bwahaha!..i know that's gotta embarrass him, but he just laughs and waves at us..he knows we are silly goofballs.....
A few friends & family went over to the boat house and partied this weekend...the lake is toxic right now w/bluegreen algae from the drought so it's off limits--no swimming or anything in it..yikes...i went to the boat house last night for a while...me & Sarah had 2 small margaritas a piece, then went to see our Auntie's J.'s house and see how close the grass fires got to it...it's a huge beautiful 2 story on the hill overlooking the mountains..so pretty there..it's safe thankfully, but the land is charred everywhere..it was a huge grassfire burned a couple thousand acres...bless those firefighters!.....they work all the time anymore it seems on grass fires...they have a very dangerous tough job....
i hate fire & drought....luckily (& keep your fingers crossed on this one) that the weather is supposed to be cooler from now on and more fall like here the weathermen all say...they better not be lying and play mind games w/all of us around here because we all wanna blame them the drought got so bad!..LOL.....we need rain bad still...
Dad still hasn't came home to see me & Sarah yet...we don't know if he's coming home now because Grandpa said he called him & he said that they had a lot of trucks coming in out there where he's working this weekend at the feedlots that his boss owns/runs, so he never hardly gets time off..but they pay him really good...we'll see him soon enough i'm just wondering if he liked his music scrapbook/cds i made him & the cd player i bought him?..i'm sure he loved them...
he doesn't have computer out there, so i just bought him a portable cd player instead of Ipod or mp3... Uncle Pete did say he cried when he opened it and he's embarrassed he cried infront of them over my present..they said he kept crying & saying:"She's so creative & smart..i'm so proud of her".....aww..that's kinda sad...he's real emotional at times and complicated, so i don't know if he can tell me he loved it without crying like a big ol baby...
anyway..i know he loved it and is proud, it'll take him time to tell me without crying infront of me...that's how he rolls...lol...he tries to hide his tears....i put uplifting things in it,chocolate cake recipes he likes,cowboy art pages i created with paper, stickers,rhinestones,glitter paper,cd pages,songs downloaded from itunes i put on cds,band info...mainly red dirt bands..stuff he would like or get to know i think....fun facts, things like that--it was really pretty & very cool i think----that's me being creative...haha..it'll keep him busy reading/listening/thinking during free time(if he gets free time) hopefully he won't be so homesick....
anyhow that's everything going on the past week..busy & busy...still gotta work tomorrow on Labor Day..but a cowgirl's job NEVER stops! it's a 24/7 occupation...i love it though.
kisses.
