My best friend died today.
Time stopped for me today. Jeff, my best friend, my love, my partner in crime passed away. That one person who cared about the minutiae of my day isn’t here anymore.

Happy Friday 5 – Love him like you own him.
Love him like you own him: Marriage and dating advice, love song, Mexican spice brownies, happy herbs, and gratitude, appreciation and love practice. What I’m reading again: Gerald Rogers’ viral article “Marriage Advice I wish I would have had…” Twenty tips on how to have an exceptional relationship. Check out and take note of #1, #4, #8, #12… aww heck, they’re all fantastic. Take note, young suitors.
But, wait! There's more...Indecent Proposals, part two
He replied saying he was busy traveling for a few weeks. Then no other communication for two weeks, until I get the email below (in green). Apparently, he’d not been traveling as he said in his previous email. When reading his next email, keep in mind we have had one phone conversation and we have not met.
But, wait! There's more...Fifty Shades Read Aloud by a Kernuttie
One of my readers, a New York construction worker, sent this clip of himself and a few other folks reading snippets of Fifty Shades aloud. It’s hilarious! They were “interviewed” for Late Night With Seth Meyers. I hear the movie isn’t that good; it’s better to watch these videos or buy the books.
But, wait! There's more...I’m feeling slightly less jaded than last week. Yeah, there’s that.
I wrote most of the following post rant after the last of several crappy condescending and chauvinistic incidents in the three preceding weeks. Feel free to skip it. The quoted portion is what I wrote last week. I’ve since calmed down a bit and am now feeling slightly less jaded. … But, wait! There’s more…
The Yankee in Texas Cow Country. Part 2.
As promised in the previous post, this is about the softer side of ranch life and farming. In the video below I got to ride in a tractor pulling a hay rake, and watch a baler make huge round bales, all while watching cowboys sweat. Coolest. Thing. Ever. (Follow this … But, wait! There’s more…
Who invited the Yankee to Texas Cow Country, anyhow? Part 1.
I chronicled A Day In the Life of a Texas Cattle Rancher for all you out there in Reader Land so you could get a slice of what Texas ranch life is like, too. (Ok, bad pun. Sorry.)
It’s an honest, tough life, and a bit brutal at times. Ranchers make no apologies for supplying America with much of their meat in the manner which it’s been done for years. Nor should they.
BE FOREWARNED!! This video will make you cringe – at the very least. This is raw footage of a bull being castrated, given its shots, and an ear tag. (I’m sure to lose readers over this. If you’re new here, just know I’ve never posted anything like this before and don’t plan to make a habit of it.) This video is not for the squeamish or vegetarian or anyone who doesn’t want their “meat-grows-in-plastic-packages-on-trees-and-is-harvested-for-the-supermarket” view of food consumption to be challenged.
But, wait! There's more...While enjoying the rain I learned I live in a sieve.
It’s been hot here in central Texas, hotter than a whore on nickle night at the cat house. So when the rains and cool weather came – without terrifying winds – we all enjoyed it immensely. I can’t tell you how wonderful it has been to wear pants and long-sleeved … But, wait! There’s more…
Braless in Bandera, Texas, the Cowboy Capital of the World
I made it to Bandera, Texas, the Cowboy Capital of the World. And it was good for me. Bandera is bangin’! It’s a small Texas Hill Country town full of real cowboys. (…) They’ve got something going on almost every night of the week. And it’s going on bralessly. Apparently. … But, wait! There’s more…
They say ‘y’all’ in these here parts. UPDATED.
Texas is the land of ‘y’all’. I’d like to think I fit in when it comes to use of the local colloquialism, but I know I don’t because everyone still refers to me as “the California gal”. A while back I wrote a post about a few of the colloquialisms … But, wait! There’s more…
