A Cowboy and Me

It’s A NO.

December 19, 2021 by Tammy Gilbert

Sometimes I try to channel my inner Betty Crocker. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn’t.

I wish I were more like my sister-in-law, Vanessa. That girl can whip up a seven course meal while using three ingredients. I’m not kidding y’all. I truly don’t know how she does it. I think she has magic food dust in her apron. Cowboy wishes she would sprinkle that magic deliciousness our way.

Anyhoo, the other night for dinner I wanted to whip up a side dish using leftover mashed potatoes. The recipe called for cheddar cheese but I decided to substitute velveeta in its place. Because why not? And, Cowboy eats anything with a smidge of that gold stuff. Seriously, I’ve never seen anyone chop off a chunk and pop it in his mouth quicker than that dude.

Cowboy comes in from outside, hangs his cowboy hat up and walks into the kitchen.

ME: (Acting proud of myself) Hey, I’m trying a new recipe with leftover mashed potatoes.

COWBOY: Oh boy, that sounds great. (The look on his face did not match the words coming out of his mouth).

ME: Why don’t you go and grab a shower and dinner will be ready once you’re finished.

Once he’s done, he heads towards the kitchen-

ME: (Handing him his plate) I hope you like it.

COWBOY: What is it?

ME: What does it look like?

COWBOY: (Moving it around on his plate with his fork) I honestly have no idea what this is.

ME: It’s a potato pancake! And I’ve already eaten one so I know it’s good.

He takes a bite, sets his fork down and grabs the ketchup.

ME: It doesn’t need that much ketchup! You won’t be able to taste it.

COWBOY: (Chuckling) I know.

After dinner, I begin to clean the kitchen, Cowboy hugs me and says in the most gentle way that he can-

COWBOY: I appreciate you trying to come up with different recipes but it’s a “no” for the potato thing.

ME: It’s a no? Are you sure?

COWBOY: (Scratching his head) Yep. It’s a no.

Did I ever tell you about the time I went to Loweโ€™s to buy paint and it leaked out of my suv all of the way home? Yep, left a paint trail all the way home. But thatโ€™s another story. Dumb salesperson who loaded it. If I ever see him again Iโ€™ll walk right up to him and poke his eyeballs out!

Back to my story-
I turned my music on and painted, danced and painted some more. Time flew by because whenโ€ฆ

There are times in our life that permanent cosmeti There are times in our life that permanent cosmetics makes our quality of life so much easier. Meet Ms Charlotte, she recently celebrated her 90th bday.  She has lived a life of beautiful memories.  Every time I get to see her she is nothing short of glamorous.  Her hair, clothes and makeup are impeccable.  And her perfume reminds of what a glamorous socialite would have worn back in the 50โ€™s. 

When she visited me today I asked her what I could help her with. 

She said that she would never EVER leave her house without her makeup being just right and with her tremors, it takes her a hot minute to get it โ€œjust perfectโ€. 

So I got busy designing her brows and selecting the perfect color for her lower eyeliner all while chatting with her about life.  What a treat!!

Once finished she hugged me and said she knew she had chosen the right artist.  She wanted someone that wouldnโ€™t try to make her look younger or faddish but timeless.

And then she said sheโ€™d see me next month.  I mentioned that  her that we didnโ€™t need to do a touchup on her brows OR her liner.

She says: โ€œOh honey, youโ€™ve done an excellent job on those but now itโ€™s time to do my lipsโ€.

ME:  Your lips? Are you sure?

HER: Absolutely! And no neutral colors for me.  I want fuchsia!  I donโ€™t want to look boring and pale!

Fuchsia it is then!
