Livin', Lovin', she's just a ... Cowgirl

Only in the CO

 Winter in the CO (Cent. OR) is in full swing as is my academic career. I know the term "academic career" is usually reserved for scholars and folks with the higher knowledge but I'm going to coin it for myself tonight. It is DEAD week at school and why the hell am I writing a blog instead of studying? Because I'm a procrastinator, damn it! I've always believed that fun makes for good work ethic. If it ain't fun (or, you can't make it fun) then it isn't worth while. So I'm having a lil fun before I begin my work. It puts you in a good head space if you go into something after having a good time or doing something you like to do. So I'm tuning up, if I had to answer my own question. 

So what's new? Anyone do anything cool this winter? I sure didn't, unless you count learning. Man, 17 credits keep a brother on lock down. All I've done this winter is study, then I'd come home and study, eat and study, wake up and study. You get the picture I'm sure. Speaking of pictures.......the following pictures are going to help clear up some confusion I've noticed going on around here.....Apparently, not too many of you know what a cowgirl is...

This is NOT a cowgirl

Judging from the caption, I'm sure you learned something here. At one point in time, this would have been my perfect cowgirl and by god she surely is a fine looking "cow-girl". However, like all things that age well, they become wiser and I learned what a real cowgirl is. This picture should put things into perspective:

These are COWGIRLS

This is the REAL thing baby! These are the girls I speak so highly of and admire like any artist appreciating another artists ability to do good work. Like all, there are good CG's and bad CG's but in general they all have a heart of gold, a work ethic unrivaled, and usually look pretty damn good in a pair of Wranglers. These are the ladies that are having the "row", "dust-up", "feud", "impasse" with our resident sagebrush. This guy right here:

This my friends is Mr. & Mrs. Artemesia tridentata, otherwise known as Big Sagebrush. As you can see they are wearing their winter coats at this time and look like they are in no mood for negotiations.That's where our battle lies right now folks. The cowgirls are busy, and the sage are hibernating. Hopefully by spring we'll reconvene and get these negotiations  back on track. Until then I have no new updates to bring to the surface, other than I did hear through the grapevine that sage may decide to grow shorter if the CG's ride lighter horses.....only a rumor but we'll see. I'll be back with a Winter term grade update and all of the happening in the in-be-tween with our Sage & CG's and all the other cool stuff that happens from now til then. Now it's off to study again....where have I heard that before?.....man, thank goodness it's almost done. Love ya all. Take care and be good to yourselves. Tickle the ones who tickle you and kisses are recyclable, you can give them away forever and still have more than you can give away (my momma told me that when I was 3.) Peace

Carmen oooooooooooot...!
