Amazing Rumor
I have a lovely Ranch in New Mexico. We live on 40 acres, but the family trust holds another few hundred all around us. My not so cuddly inlaws are about a mile away (close enough for a treb...) and I have extremely cool and colorful neighboring friends, I would say my closest is about 7/8 of a mile from me.
You are saying wow Larissa this is a weird beginning to a tale, well you will understand in a sec :P
Our land is owned by Jer and I as a homestead, a place guaranteed to my children after our death so they have something to always call home. A romantic yet practical notion we thought.
We own it outright, it's titled at the county recorder. We are still building, probably will be like Rose Red I swear, I will be a 90 year old with a tower and a ball room....right now I am staring out back at 3 cement pads which are supposed to be room additions *sigh*
We have 13 head of cattle and most are preggers atm, a small and ever growing orchard, a heard of toggenburgs, and some other random and amusing goats. Two horses, one black with a white star, one buckskin gelding trained to barrell race, and are negotiating right now for a very gentle paint gelding for Tressa, who hates my mare with a passion lol.
Not to mention my daughters herd of sheep, she has 9 ewes, a new born baby lamb, a ram and two ewes for show this year, not to mention her angus and charlette steers for show.
Then there is the vegetable gardens, the chickens and landscaping and all the little things to grow up and make this one day a beautiful place.
So imagine me wandering around lalalala in my happy head space and being told by someone who can be rather dense at times that they hope I am able to save my home and blah blah, um what?
Rumors of my demise are highly um not exaggerated but outright bullshit. I am let's say stupified. I am posting this since the teller of tales isn't interested in listening to reality and won't talk to my husband, so that perhaps the teller can read this here and go oh, um blink.
And perhaps the hearer of tales will just laugh. I think most have already called me and chuckled. It's why I drive a hummer I have fantasies of doing donuts on the lawns of insane people, then I wake up and sigh... oh well....
Oh hey as I side note... thank you guys for all the pics I got sent of the new dress I wore to coronation lol, the one of me getting "in" my Hummer to go home was hilarious.
I guess I better park further away next time so I am not on candid camera ;)
I think every once in a while you have to post something neon and glaring to remind people of who you are, what you are about, what is your values are.
1. I don't like gossip, I don't like control freaks. I tend to especially dislike and fail to respect people who spew gossip and then don't want to hear the truth. I don't like people who shout over others, threaten or pretend they have a cadre lawyers, it's tripe and really piss poor entertainment ;).
2. I have a spectacular marriage, been with my guy since 1997. We had a sensational beginning, duchess escapes with rogue baron, wild romantic love which has never stopped burning. I am lucky, I wish all romances were as passionate, I have some girl friends who deserve their own Duncan.
3. I have 2 amazing kids. We are close and trusting and have no secrets from each other. I can't imagine it any other way. I am the lioness with cubs, nothing is more foremost in my mind at any time than the happiness and well being of those babies, of course they don't see themselves as babies lol.
4. I like to share, I like to entertain, I tend to find love and friendship in almost everyone I meet. My biggest fault? Well that is easy. I tend to love and forgive too easily, but I am working on that. My life's lesson is there is being a good Christian and forgiving and there is being a smart human and forgiving then backing away.
5. I hate chick flicks. They are forced on my by my daughter on our weekly hide in the bed and watch tv with popcorn and shakes. She makes me watch her teen series too. I have to confess they intrigue me, I pretend it is parental supervision, she laughs. I am a science fiction/fantasy shoot em up space western kinda gal, I would have dated Mal, in fact I am pretty sure I married him and just fed him too much!
So what am I doing this week while my beauty Tressa visits her Grandmother for a big event? Well, last night I ran the kitchen for a spagetti dinner sponsored by the LDS church to send some local girls to camp. Today I am hopefully making new drapes for Tressa's room, weeding the half acre tomato garden and spending some time with my sweetie.
Tommorrow I am painting her back wall blue I hope, Friday packing for city of rocks, Saturday hanging out with friends and family and watching my sweetheart sword fight.
Sunday I get to go fetch my baby back home. I miss her. I do however refuse to sort the laundry pile she keeps under her sink, wow ;)
I hope this brings back reality to someone out there, and makes the rest smile.
