A Cowboy and Me

Just Answer the Question!

June 9, 2019 by Tammy Gilbert

I’m beginning to think that occasionally I may irritate Cowboy. This is just me thinking out loud here folks. But there are times that I sense a little frustration on his end when he’s having a conversation with me. I wonder what that is all about?

Here’s a little fun fact about me-

When we moved to the States from Panama, it was suggested to my parents that I would benefit from a speech therapist. Apparently my speech was impeded.

Stay with me here people, I know that this is a HUGE surprise to most that know me. But yes, there was a time in young Tammy’s life when she (I) had a hard time articulating words and forming a complete sentence. Sometimes I wonder if my parents have ever regretted my therapy because six months of that stuff was all I needed. Speech impediment…pfft! I haven’t shut up since!

I love to have conversations with people. I love the whole Q&A thing. It’s how we get to know about people, places and things. The asking of the questions and the answers that are given, it’s what feeds the conversation, don’t ya think? When I’m asked about something, I try to be armed and ready to answer the second and third question before it’s asked AND I also add a little animation to make it all the more interesting. I call this PreEmptive Animation Conversation. I totally made that up. But it’s pretty good, so we’ll just go with it!

Cowboy does not appreciate my knack for PreEmptive Animation Conversation. When he asks a question, he wants an answer. The more direct, the happier he is. I should get him a tshirt that reads “Just answer the question, darn-it”! He can be such a conversation-sucker (which is much like a fun-sucker) when he’s talking to me. His life must have been pretty boring BT (before Tammy).

COWBOY: (We are standing in the carport) When do you need the pressure washer hooked up?

ME: I’m going to start on the outdoor kitchen first and work my way to the back of the house.

COWBOY: Ok, but when do you need it hooked up?

ME: I just told you.

COWBOY: No, you didn’t. You told me what you’re doing with it. I asked you when you needed it. Just answer the question. WHAT TIME DO YOU NEED IT?

ME: Ok…jeez, why didn’t you just ask that?!

See what I mean….conversation sucker.

’til next Sunday y’all- Tammy

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!
