Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I did not wait until Last minute Friday night to Finish buying and Wrapping presents for our Christmas Dinner Saturday.  And I most certainly did not sleep in Saturday and enjoy every second of it instead of leaving early for the Christmas Party.

I did not let Sean talk me into going duck hunting and I did not whine the entire time because of how miserable it was!  I still cannot feel my feet.  I did not take a four hour nap yesterday and sleep late this morning and go into work late because of how much I hurt from duck hunting....

You can read all about my hunt and how miserable it was and see some fun pictures on the post below!

Happy Monday!  Four days until Christmas!!

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I had a bad weekend.  Nothing really happened bad, just a few things that I could've lived without... 

...Like when when we ran out of clean towels...I did not grab a dry towel out of the hamper and sniff to make sure it wasn't mildewy...not me.  I'd never let dirty laundry pile up...

...Or like when we ran out of dog food .. I would not do something like feed the dogs a couple of dog treats instead of going and buying dog food right away..nope

...Or for instance when I tried to drive to the store by myelf (which i wasn't supposed to do for a week after surgery) and realized I couldn't lift the dog food I needed to buy (cant lift over 20lbs for a couple weeks) I did Not turn around and drive all the way back home and make Sean go back later for dog food because I was too embarassed to ask for help.  I would never be too embarassed.

...Also,  after Banjo got sick from eating the new dog food and bless his heart held it as long as he could then left three or four piles for me to find this morning.  I would never just halfheartedly clean it up at 4 am until it looked clean and leave it for more throurough cleaning this after noon when I can really have time to scrub...I would never leave something like that uncleaned!

...Lastly after taking one bite of sour milk with my late night cereal snack last night I would never just sit the whole bowl out on the back porch and leave it to dispose of later... I was not too mad that I had just downed sour milk to clean..never!

yeah I could have lived without those weekend mishaps...for sure.

Arkansas Longhorns?

Today's post is a Not me monday with a few cows at the end. 



This weekend I did NOT eat three bags of cotton candy, a pound of nachos, a large bilizzard from Dairy Queen, and I did NOT drink like 78 cokes :)  I would never be that much of a pig.

I also Did not wear my boots (covered in cow crap) into the movie theater to watch New Moon at 9:30 immediately after Sean ran his steer, and did not, secretly wish that Jacob was my boyfriend....eight pack abs and all. 

And now to the cows...

Today At Lunch I went home to see if Sean wanted some lunch because today they were Working Cows, separating the momma's from the babies. Of course I had my camera and thought I'd take a few shots

Can I share a few? Ok Good.

Some of our cows have Long horns...they are called "longhorns" pretty creative huh?

Some of them have shorter horns, they are Corrientes from Mexico.  I think this one's horns were victim of a Steer wrestling match gone wrong. 

They come in all shapes and sizes and colors.  My favorite are these white and red ones.   I don't really know why...

Actually to be honest...these are my favorites

Look at all these cows...
Hey, wait a minute...that's not a cow.

That's just Mr. Key, Don Key. He keeps the coyotes away, supposedly.

Oh, excuse me, I didn't realize this stall was taken....





There...that's better.

There's my cowboy, in his cowboy hat and shirt and...well never mind.


Here's his ranch hands.. I hear the one on the right is really lazy and the one on the left begs for food a lot.

Oh how sweet it is to live on a farm.  Have a good Monday!!

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This weekend MckMamma posted about her melting experience in the oven. I had a little "hot" experience myself but it included a spatula and my tongue..

I certainly did not taste the stir fry out of the skillet which was not on high on the burner 5 seconds before. I did not idiotically put it in my mouth after blowing on it twice..thinking that would cool it down. It most certainly did not burn my tongue and roof of my mouth and keep me from tasting the stir fry or anything else for that matter for the rest of the weekend. Sean informed me that the stir fry was the best he had tasted ever..wish I could have tasted my culinary masterpiece....

I did not become obsessed with taking pictures of bull riders this weekend at the rodeo finals and get some cool looking shots!

I did NOT get the crappiest photos of Sean Steer wrestling because ya know.. it's hard to take photos when you are trying to watch the action and make sure Sean makes a good run. It's just really hard to do. I'm sorry Sean, it's just hard. I totally did not forget to buy the photos of Sean bulldogging from the professional photographer while we were there ...I wouldn't forget to do something my husband asked me to do because He Never forgets to do things I ask, like taking out the trash for instance.

I did not have the best weekend ever and Did not Brag to everyone I know about my Husband and his accomplishments...I wouldn't brag..never!!!

Look!! The trees are starting to Change in Centrala Arkansas!! Wish I could figure out how to focus on the correct objects ..oh well! Have a great week!!

Not Me Monday-

It's Not Me Monday Again!

Saturday I spent most of the day trying to get over a sinus infection and I did not eat Gluten Free cookies from Betty Crocker for ALL THREE MEALS! I felt it later on Sunday with indigestion. I Love Sugar!

Sunday, Sean and his Brother Jason and I went to Oklahoma to a Steer Wrestling Jackpot. We did not leave an hour and a half late and miss the Cowboy church service before the Jackpot. I did not sleep the whole 4 hour drive except when we stopped for breakfast. I did not drink 4 sweet teas, eat a snickers bar, a Frito chili pie, and then finish the day with a McDonald's Salad...cause you know, Salad's are healthy and non-fattening and I don't eat fattening foods.

Let me tell you a little story about Yesterday It's quite depressing.

There were 30 steer wrestlers entered in this Jackpot. There were three rounds. The first and second fastest times were awarded money in each round and then they awarded money and a buckle to the fastest time of the average of all three rounds.

Sean was sitting first in the average after round two. He was pretty far in the lead. He was a 4.4 in the first round, and that tied for third but won no money. In the second round he was a 4.2 which won him second place and won his entry fees back. In the third round he had to be below a 5.7 to win the average, $1500, and the buckle and of course bragging rights. (For Sean, a 5.7 is really slow. He averages about 4.1 ish a run for this year)

Sean backed into the box, patted his horse frosty on the neck and got set to run his steer. Sean nodded his head, which gave the OK to open the gate to let the steer out. Frosty took off out of the box and Sean gracefully slid onto the steers back and threw him down pretty hard. It looked beautiful! I knew it was a fast time. I just knew he had won, the other two guys that were close to him in the average had a No Time on their third steer so Sean had it in the bag.

Just for the record...never count your chickens before they are hatched. Never! The announcer called out 4.0 +10. He had broken the barrier. He left the box too early. This was a Sean error, not a horse error. I wanted to cry. Part of me was mad, but part of me was sad for him. I knew he really wanted this, he wanted it more than anything. If we could only go back in time 4 seconds, just four small seconds then Sean could wait .01 seconds and get out clean and win the Jackpot. If only. My heart felt like it was about to fall into my stomach. I really almost cried for him. He looked disappointed.

When I finally got to go talk to him, he was upset but OK. I'm a pretty competitive person, and I give up easily :) If it were me I would've quit! Of course this is coming from a girl who at age 6-10 would get mad and quit playing putt-putt if I didn't make a hole in one every time. Sean on the other hand just said, "Man that sucks. I guess I'll just have to do extra good next weekend to win more money." Wow, I wish I could have that attitude.

To end the story on a happy note, he did come out ahead $500 this weekend by winning the Rodeo on Saturday Night so we aren't that dissappointed. There's always another rodeo to win somewhere...

Which brings me to next weekend's rodeo.. Everyone wish us well next weekend when we go to the Arkansas Rodeo Association Finals. Sean will enter into the Finals, $2,500.00 ahead of everyone else, making him a "for sure" winner of the year end award. He will get a Saddle and Buckle. He still has to do good in the rounds to win money though and we need the money to pay the bills, so far it's kept us going! So say a little prayer for us Thursday-Saturday. We really need the money!

This is me and Sean after a long, hard, hot day, Dreading the 4 hour drive back to the house, don't we look tired? ha!

Happy Monday!!

Not Me Monday

What a weekend!! I had a very busy schedule!

Friday Night I went to the rodeo and took pictures with my new camera. The lighting was awful in the covered arena so they didn't turn out very well. I Did not eat two bags of Cotton Candy and I did not invite about 5 of my girlfriends over without telling Sean and he did not come home tired from the rodeo to five crazy girls playing loud music and we did not stay up until 3 am knowing I had to get up at 8 am the next morning for a softball tournament. I did not tick Sean off at all, no not me!

Sean and I played as fill In's on a Softball Co-Ed team Saturday and we did not get beat our first game 19-1. It was not embarrassing at all! I also did not make a fool of myself for playing bad because I was going on 4 hours of sleep!

We did not go to an "after hours establishment" on Saturday Night and get less sleep than the night before and I did not Skip Church Sunday morning to clean up the mess we had made all weekend. I did not have to dedicate the entire Sunday to cleaning my house because it was that dirty! I would never let my house get that dirty!! I also did not skip taking a shower on Sunday and wear sweats to Home Depot to get some shelves. I would never go in public with no makeup, last night's hair do and sweats...Never!

I was not an hour and 1/2 late to work this morning because My electricity went off last night causing my alarm to not be set this morning...I would never be late to anything..not me!!

I did not have the Best weekend ever!

I did not skip out of work early Friday to go to the Rodeo with Sean, then throw a PMS fit and stay home..
I certainly did not forget to buy dog food for my Chocolate Children and feed them ham and turkey from the fridge instead...
I did not drive to Nashville to help a friend move into a new house and then watch movies with her instead of moving...
I did not drive to the Rodeo Saturday night just to make up for being a PMS B*tch rude to watch Sean win 2nd place!
I also did not accidently leave the shower door open, my clothes all over the floor, my wedding ring on the counter, and the lights and radio on while trying to get to the Rodeo on time..leaving my sister to come home and think I was kidnapped... (she seriously thought I was kidnapped)
I do not have purple fingernails and fingers because of shelling two buckets of Purple Hull peas last night and not scrubbing my hands raw...
And last but not least.. I did not steal toilet paper from the extra bathroom in Sean's mom's house because we forgot to buy any yesterday.... (I'll replace it today I promise!)

Friday night I got to Baby sit Kinley, My cousin Erin's little one. I also got to babysit Sally, Erin's Dog niece. Sally is a Great Dane and HUGE (only like 7 months old) and Kinley is PRECIOUS. Kinley is Nine months tomorrow. She's at the curious stage and everything is exciting to her. I had the best time and she is such a good baby, didn't fuss at all! I only hope if I have children they will be a good and fun as Kinley was. I swear she is just the perfect little thing!

I did not let Kinley chew on a key chain all night because that was what made her happy. And I did not watch Baby Einstein over and over. I also did not let Kinley do and get whatever she wanted..because how do you say no to a face that sweet?

I did not break my diet and go out to eat with the Family before babysitting at a Mexican food restaurant Friday night. I wouldn't do that after two days of dieting!

I did not sleep until 1 on Saturday because that would be silly. I did not watch Confessions of a Shopaholic 6 times this weekend. No I did not say SIX times. That would be ridiculous. That movie is hilarious by the way.

I did not go to the Piano Bar on Saturday Night with my BFF Laci without Sean. And we did not spend way too much money and stay out all night..because that would be irresponsible.

I do not have the stinkiest dog in the world and I did not Give her a bath yesterday only to find her covered in mud from the creek an hour later.

I did not accidentally teach Birdie how to jump up onto the bed and Sean is not pissed about it at all. Now not only does she sleep with us a night, but all during the day she sleeps on the bed. (I do have a doggie blanket over the comforter)

I did not roll into work an hour late today because I didn't forget to set my alarm. I wouldn't do that... nope not me.

Well it's Monday again. It just seems like this summer is Flying by. I just did a "not me Monday" post like two posts ago because I'm a procrastinator. I wrote it on Monday I just forgot to post it. :) I had Friday off so I had a long weekend. Here's a recap of all the things I didn't do last week.

I did NOT miss aerobics all three days last week! Once Due to a softball game, once due to Sean's birthday, and once due to oversleeping. :) I did NOT eat all you can eat crab legs drenched in butter, shrimp drenched in butter, and a baked potato drenched in butter at the Whistle Stop Cafe, which did Not effect the Diet I'm on. Surprisingly I haven't lost any weight?

I did not ride all the way with Sean to Springdale Tuesday for a rodeo that was supposed to have us home by 11 only to return home at 4 and wake up and go to work the next morning! I did not go to work without washing my hair and taking a shower. ew. because that would be gross.

I did Not invite my hairstylist friend Holly over to cut and color my hair and cut Sean's hair. Because I'm too cheap to drive to her hair salon and pay full price :) We did not have a hair party and she did not do three other people's hair in house.

I did Not go to the lake Saturday only to have to be taken care of the whole day because I finally caught the stomach flu that Sean had last week. I did not throw up in front of everyone, and I did not lay in the back of the boat under the canopy all day long. I'm hypoglycemic so I did not feel like crap all night Saturday and all day Sunday due to the lack of food in my body.

Sean did NOT wake me up at 3 am on Saturday Night because woke up when he heard Banjo fart. He did not punch me while giggling.."Did you just hear Banjo Fart?!!!" I did not hear him fart because I WAS ASLEEP but I did smell it soon after. I did then got up and took the dogs outside, because that is gross.

I also did NOT scream like a baby last night and cling for dear life the the head board of the bed when Sean tried to drag me into the bathroom to pour Hydrogen Peroxide in my ears, which still have fluid in them after one round of antibiotics. I did not have to be held down while he poured it into my ears and I did not get embarrassed when it didn't hurt and I did NOT hide from Sean the fact that it actually helped.

I did not drag myself out of bed this morning and go to work and I have not though about turning my chair around to face the wall and sleep.

I did Not Plan a big night of fun on the town with my Best Friend from back home. We did Not go eat Mexican food early in the evening and we did not get serenaded by a Mariachi Band who did not shake their booties in our face. We did Not enjoy their splendid Margaritas. We did not go home to change to go out on the town and fall asleep watching TV accidentally instead.


I did not stay at the Benefit for Rance Saturday and work and then miss out on the band and drinks because I fell asleep accidentally when going home to take a shower at 7 pm.


I did not allow my Chocolate Children to stay inside all night with me Saturday Night after I woke up at 9pm and feed them blueberries because oddly enough they LOVE blueberries. They did not both curl up in bed with me and Banjo did not snore.

I did not wake up later than usual Sunday morning to let the dogs out and Birdie did not pee pee while walking down the hall and it did not make a 15 foot trail of pee for me to clean up. She did not look at me with the saddest eyes ever and I did NOT melt and she did get away without a spanking.

We did NOT drive all the way to the lake Sunday and get the boat in the water and then watch a storm blow in 30 minutes later. We did not then pack up and leave after only being there for 45 minutes and we did not drive home where I did NOT fall asleep at 6:30 pm.

I did Not sleep way to much all weekend long because I do Not have the worst sinus infection ever.

I am not posting this three days late because I'm a procrastinator. Nope, not me!

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This is what I did not do this weekend:

I did not travel 600 miles this weekend in one big circle to visit three rodeos and spend all my money.

I did not spray "off" on me in the convenient store because I didn't want to buy the whole can. (p.s. when I told dad about this he said he was disappointed that I stole from the store---i didn't see it that way)

And I did not buy Boone's Farm at this convenient store either because who can resist?

I definitely did not pee pee behind the horse trailer because I wouldn't get within 10 feet of the porta-potties. No, I would not do that!

I did not get home Saturday night at 2:00 am and have to talk my husband out of going to the Electric Cowboy (bar) and then we did not stay up for a couple hours practicing roping.

I did not leave my chocolate children inside the house all day accidentally Sunday while I went to my hometown. They did not sleep all day in the air conditioning and Did not keep me up last night because they were wide awake and wild.

I did not clean out my car yesterday and it did not take me two hours. I did not take two large BOXES full of things back into the house from my car, and I did not find five spoons, and three cups, and a few things I thought were lost forever.

I did not go to bed last night at 1:30 because my husband got stranded on the river fishing and didn't get in until late. Then he did not make me help him take down panels (temporary fences) in the arena at midnight because he forgot to earlier.

And finally, I did not eat, three bags of chips, two chili cheese nachos, one candy bar, 1 big Mexican meal, A large bag of kettle corn, 3 bags of peanuts, and a subway salad--between Friday at 5 and Saturday Night. Nope, not me!

Not Me Monday's

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

So last week I did not go to the eye doctor and tell her I couldn't see and she did NOT tell me I had my contacts in the wrong eye. I did not sleep with both of my chocolate children in the bed on Saturday night and did not let them stay when Sean got home which did not force him to sleep on the couch. Birdie did not pee in the house three times. Birdie did NOT pee in the house three times. Birdie did NOT PEE IN THE HOUSE THREE TIMES!

I did not have a nervous break down last night while trying to repair a light fixture which did not lead to me taking it out of the ceiling and doing some minor electrical work. And this did not make S mad one bit.

I did not try to climb through a fence to get my picture taken for the newspaper for a fundraiser I'm doing for Rance (because the photographer insisted we take a picture by a horse and it was inside the fence) and the wind did NOT blow my skirt over my head and everyone did NOT see my undies and boo-tay.

I did not eat gluten free cake for dinner three nights this week and I did not gain five pounds since my last weigh in. I also did not drink 5 coke zeros this weekend and did not have three candy bars and a bag of chips at the rodeo.

And last of all I did not forget to do the laundry last night and S did have a dry pair of jeans to wear today :)
