A Cowboy and Me

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

June 23, 2019 by Tammy Gilbert

Fall is one of my favorite times of year. Why?  It’s the season that most of us Texans are looking forward to in hopes of a cool relief from our triple digit summers.  Sweet Jesus it gets hot in Texas! One would think that having lived here as long as I have, that I would have adjusted to the sauna-infused weather by now.  Let me just tell y’all…umm no.   There is NO adjusting to the Texas heat.  It’s either hot or hotter.  We consider it a cold front when the temperature drops from 103 to 95…what on earth?!

I am about five seconds away from stripping down to my cheetah print birthday suit (haha) to run thru the sprinklers butt-naked.  And then I remembered that we already have a naked neighbor in our part of the woods, but that’s another story.

I do not understand how Cowboy wears a long-sleeved shirt and his wranglers in the dead of summer.  Don’t get me wrong, this pretend cowgirl loves his choice of jeans, but long sleeves? I would be a puddle of sweat mixed with a spritz of Chanel.

Speaking of sweat…I had a friend tell me once that if your partner sweats and you can not smell them, then they are your true soulmate.

Okay…let’s think about this…

If I can’t smell Cowboy when he sweats then that means he’s my soulmate?

Okay, I’ll play-

Cowboy comes in from a day of working outside…

ME:  Come here for a minute, I need to smell you.

COWBOY:  You need to what?

ME:  Smell you.  I need to see if you are my soulmate. I was told that if I take a whiff of you when you’re sweaty and I don’t want to plug my nose then apparently you really are my soulmate.

COWBOY:  (Chuckling) Where did you come up with that from?

ME:  My friend.

I walk to where he is and I start sniffin. Sniff, Sniff.

COWBOY:  Well, did I pass the test?

ME:  Wow!  I seriously can’t smell your sweat. Now smell me.

COWBOY: (He walks over and sniffs) Have you been working outside too today?

ME:  Umm, yes, why?

COWBOY:  Because you smell like sweat mixed with your perfume that smells like Vicks.

ME:  Ugh!

’til next Sunday y’all- xo, Tammy
