be nice girls....

my favorite song lately....

Haven't been able to log into my blog for awhile...lol...That rhymes....yes I am a nerd...

I think something that has really been bothering me lately is how quickly girls you don't even know can be super jealous of you over the STUPIDEST things....or even hate you...why??!!!!

As my brother once told me:"Anytime you get a bunch of women together they will cat fight and be jealous of each other." and he has been right about all that!.....It's always women being jealous and judging each other or eyerolling behind your back.....when they don't even know you....

I know some nurses..trust me, they will tell you how all that goes...Haha...

I just don't get that....I've never been jealous of anyone or been snobby.....there's no need to be so tacky to people when life is so short...and especially judge someone you haven't ever met in your life because of what they do or don't do, or have or don't have...If someone doesn't have whatever or does have whatever...I don't care...oh, big woo who cares...

People need to base their opinions of someone on how they are as a person INSIDE not what they have or don't have or look like or don't look like.....BUT keep those opinions to yourself!!! nobody wants to hear all that nagging and bitching whining...boo hoo!

I wish all girls would be kinder to one another and stop giving all us other girls a bad name....when some of us(like me) are not that way at all....it's so easy to make great friends with guys..they don't bitch and moan all the time and nag about everyone and everything...I can't stand that crap from people...

throw a smile on your face and keep your mouth shut if you have nothing good to say about someone....it's that easy.

on a happier note I think I finally kicked my walking pneumonia to the curb...after I got the flu CHRISTMAS EVE...that was "lovely"*sarcastic face*

nite-nite

snow+ice= stuck at home

Totally been snowed/iced in for a week....roads so bad you can't drive anywhere.Had to have feed delivered in this past Thursday by feed company with a semi...could hardly make the curves around to the barn to unload!!!...dangerous.

ponds completely FROZE...ice skating?....um...better not....Haha!

It was 10 degrees Saturday morning and you talk about COLD!..Brr!...My internet has been acting crazy due to the ice freezing over my satellite so I gave up getting it to work...thawed yesterday so I can get online now..hopefully?

Need to get out there and do some MAJOR Christmas shopping I feel like this ice winter storm has put me way behind on getting anything like that done...Can't do anything but wait for the roads to unfreeze....lol...luckily the water well hasn't froze but my grandparents and my aunt&uncle's did.

can get out into the pastures to hay and feed with feed truck...but gotta be careful!

men of few words....

Relieved to get Thanksgiving over...It's always rather stressful and hectic---as is Christmas which is on the way next.oh family time...*eyeroll*

Spent this past week with Grandparents...Didn't get to see Dad...I saw some vehicles at his house but I didn't stop...Weird I know but I just drove on past...I suppose whenever he wants to talk to me or stop by to see me he will...I'm really still kinda unsure of what's going on with him.

I've always wanted to just have a "normal" family...No second guessing, or craziness of the " bat sh*t crazy" variety kind!!!...lol..But oh no not me...I get the most stressful, confusing, insane family to belong to...but you can't pick your family as they say....I was born into this craziness...I don't know why I question it or that it even bothers me actually.....it's been this way my whole life.

I get my feelings hurt over the stupidest things sometimes involving them and it's just because they are all sooooo hard to figure out..They will say things or react in ways that I see as not caring enough or showing enough emotion and it confuses me....But I think that's just how it is with most men in the ranching/cowboy business...They don't show much emotion...quiet.

I will cry and cry to myself about something they don't say or do say to me about things because I take it that they don't appreciate me or think I'm just stupid when in fact I know that's not true..They'll say to me:"Why did you think that? I'd never think you were stupid." or they say:"Just because I haven't talked to you or been to see you doesn't mean I don't care about you.".....

Just men of few words in my family....See, I'm the only girl and it's kinda tough considering i'll be all emotional/pms and they're all business, serious and know ALL the ropes of the cattle business...yes..i'm still learning but I want to be taken seriously and at least shown that they do appreciate me...

In some weird way I want them all to be proud of me...I'm guessing it's because I look up to all of them as role models and I am watching them and learning more everyday.

maybe I need to just think like they do more often..show less emotion about things and not get so frustrated? be less insecure.stop over-thinking and over-analyzing.

freezing rain on the way this week and snow...yay!*sarcastic face*

icy roads.....

It's been a hot chocolate(with marshmallows!) kinda week...Oddly when I drink it late at 8pm I get VERY sleepy.....lol...along with my electric blanket set on 7.....ahh...sleep.

Felt like ice skating on the highways this week...Saw a lot of roll overs yesterday...I went with some friends to OKC to go early Christmas shopping...well we had to turn around and go back home because the roads quickly got icy and the sleet freezing instantly on the windshield of the truck...We got rather scared!!!

It was sorta like all the traffic was one big road of bumper cars....

we finally got out of the traffic and out of OKC to a smaller suburb and stopped for a quick soup and sandwich then onto a casino and played the penny machines for about 30 minutes til the highway cleared a little--it was so packed with people driving and oh man...those crazy idiots driving 90mph on the icy roads....STUPID.

when we got home I had scrape my windshield for 30 minutes with a ice scraper and as soon as I would get it all scraped off more sleet would fall and instantly freeze back!.....I had to stop once or twice on the way to my house and re-scrape the re-freezing off my windshield and then the wipers decided to freeze up half way home...luckily they waited til I was almost home....lol...my hands were about to freeze off...I forgot my gloves---Miss Forgetful!

funniest phone call last night when I got home was one of my friends calling to see if I got home ok...and I asked her:"What are you doing?" she goes:"Watching one of the billion Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel...these are pretty dang good!"....

they are pretty dang good I guess....haha

snow on the way the next few days...only downfall to the freezing temps? having to break the icy pond water at 7am!!!

christmas decorating already?....

Been busy the past few days...Had to have a welder do a lot of repairs on a gate....Someone backed into the gate this past weekend and totally damaged it...awful...

whoever did it must have been partying too hard or something....ran off the road or tried to drive through it whichever I don't know.....but I am beyond mad...I hate how people have no respect for other people's property and try to tear up everything with their stupidity...it costs extra $$$ to repair stuff!....oh well...

Seems as though everyone is putting up their Christmas decorations in the house and outside super early this year....lol....I'm standing there thinking:"Woah!....slooooow down it's not even Thanksgiving yet!"....haha...I guess I will try and take down all of my Fall decorations in the house and start decorating for Christmas this weekend..might as well.

I gotta buy a new fake tree Friday...lol...the one I have now is falling apart..it's old..

It's so funny how people get excited about the snow/ice/freezing rain forecasted end of this week!...haha..I hear them in the stores/café/gas station saying:"You hear about the snow coming in this week?"..it's kinda cute how they're all excited about it...I suppose it does make you feel all Christmasy when snow isn't an everyday occasion here in Oklahoma....

I know where I wanna be right now...back on ski vacation in Taos!!! ;)
