A Cowboy and Me

by Tammy Gilbert - Story Teller & Published Author, Decorator & Aesthetician

Juan Paco

September 16, 2018 by Tammy Gilbert

Remember when I wrote to you about Cowboy having a love affair with Lolita? I have to confess…it wasn’t his first affair.  I know, I know, one would think that a smart guy like Cowboy would have figured it out and one also KNOWS that I would not tolerate such behavior.

Ok, everyone just calm down!  I’m talking recliners here, not women.  If it were women, I can assure you that after I hit him over the head with a cast iron skillet,  I would chop him up and scatter his parts from here to Montana! And I have plenty of gal pals who would help…except Sheena.  She already told me that she would refuse to participate.  She’s such a good human. Everyone needs a Sheena in their life!

So, back to the man-stealer-

Juanita was a hand-me-down from someone…I can’t even remember who but let me tell ya, the minute she came into our house, I knew she was trouble. Cowboy was always with her.  Sleeping, eating and watching tv.  But forget about those conversations that ended with him snoring while I was sitting next to him telling him about my day.  The real issue is this…how in the world do you rearrange your furniture with a recliner in the mix?  Y’all know I love to decorate and I can be pretty creative BUT there is no getting around that ginormous ugly thing.  Recliners should be outlawed just for their looks alone!   I just don’t understand the fixation about men and their recliners. Cowboy says it’s the most comfortable seat in the house.  I disagree, I have a cheetah print chair that would put his Juanita to shame!

Sadly (or not) after four years Juanita started to die a slow death. Poor Juanita.  She looked like she belonged in a pledge house somewhere in the middle of Texas A&M’s campus.  She had been ducked taped, wired and lord knows what else!

ME: (Speaking to Cowboy about Juanita) You have got to do something with that god-awful thing!

COWBOY:  What do you mean?  There’s nothing wrong with her.

ME:  Seriously? She’s in terrible condition!  You have to kick her for the foot rest to pop up.

COWBOY: (chuckling) She’s got plenty of life left in her. Why don’t you try her out?

ME:  Yea right, like that’s going to happen! No thanks!

The next afternoon as I was getting my feng shui on by re-arranging the furniture for the umptinth time, I accidentally stubbed my toe on the corner of Juanita, “stupid chair” I said out loud! I then decided to take a break and sit in Cowboy’s “stupid” chair.  Saying to myself how ridiculous it is a man can become so attached to a dumb chair. A chair that you have to hold the arm while you kick the leg rest for it to get in a reclining position. Good Lord, this is nuts!

A few hours later-

COWBOY: (Whispering in my ear)  Wake up princess.

ME: (Stretching as I’m standing) I’ll be right back.

COWBOY:  Where are you going?

ME: To order me a Juan Paco.

COWBOY:  A who?

ME:  Juanita’s future husband.

’til next Sunday y’all- Tammy

And then it happens. Just like it always does when Cowboy is gone overnight… I begin to hear things. Things that go bump in the night. Things that I just know will come inside thru the doggie door and get me. And then I remember ….

I hop off of the couch and head to my bathroom to find what Sweet Girl gave me to sleep. I don’t bother reading the package since she has already instructed me to have only one gummy. I pop one in my mouth.…

I whiz right thru security and begin to put myself back together. I look over my shoulder to check on Cowboy and I notice that they have pulled him aside after he had gone thru the x-ray machine. I casually walk over to the TSA agents who are speaking to Cowboy.

TSA AGENT #1: Sir, I’m going to need you to step aside for a full body…
