Cow herding

well the best part of my weekend so far was last night. Tyson called me and asked if i wanted to come out and help tag, brand, and give shots to their cows. I dont know why but i find that stuff so interesting so of course i went! Rachel and her mom came too and we all got decked out in cowgirl outfits...lol we wanted to feel official! Anyway what an experience...first the smell, man when they brand those cows the stinch is impossible to desribe but man it is the worst. i almost threw up the first time, but after a few i started getting use to the stinch but it still smell awful! Then tyson taught me how to feel for the two veins in the ear and how you pierce their tag right in between them. So i was the official tagger, and rachel thought it looked easy so she took over the piercing tag thing and i had to grab the head, feel for the veins and show her were to pierce it! I got pretty dirty but it was really fun! but then one little calf got a way at the end so we had to go get it, so we took forever but we finally got all the cows herded again and we caught the little one. It was not happy...then we built a bon fire and roasted some hotdogs! it was so much fun, and tysons family is hilarious...its such a different life style then what im use to.
Anyway i also had my first dance performance on friday...it actually went really well i thought, didnt have to many bad mistakes in there! Then seth and alex asked if i wanted to watch a international film with them so i did, then we went to our friend matts soccer game! pretty full night, o and then we went and saw 17 again...i laughed pretty hard actually. The worst part though is all night i still had my stage makeup cause i had not time to wipe it off so i looked gross the whole night! saturday was more casual, i taught my hairspray dance to the talent people, their catching on faster then i thought, but they still arent getting into their characters like i want them to...i dont know how to get them more into it. And then i got sunburned going to matts other soccer game, then i hit the gym then tyson called! Today will probably be pretty calm but thats ok, i could use some sleep!
