Who's kissin you tonight...

So I was gonna post about that goings on 'round here but I CAN NOT get this one person of my head.  It doesn't make sense because I really don't know him, but I can't get him of my mind =\  And it's annoying as h#ll lemmie tell ya!
And there's this one Jason Aldean song that fits this situation perfectly:

"I don't think of you every day and night, I got things to do, yeah I'm doin' alright, so I can't explain while in times like these, I nearly go insane when you're not here with me"

Summer State of Mind

Its Summer(not officially, but its pretty close anyway), and I'm just loving it.   Straw hats, ripped jeans tucked into my boot tops, gettin tan...it all makes me happy!:)  Oh and I can't forget the Riding Horses part either!

My horse, Tonto a.k.a Pinto Beans(thanks to my dad)

There's a 99% chance that I'm gonna be riding ^him^ tonight.  And during shipping(when me and dad go help a ranch ship cattle out) oh boy, talka bout something that makes me laugh!  Shipping, haha, last year was interesting enough!  It all mainly had to do  the kid in the gray shirt and black cap in this picture(4th from the right)

Haha yes he kept it interesting! *Josie snickers* He sure thought he was the stuff till he couldn't get his horse, which I call Ol Sorrely(in a extremely sarcastic tone) led through the gate, and while this is going on, my best friend looks at me with that "Don't make me start laughing at him" look of hers....quite a morning that was.

Since I've got a good horse to ride this year, i get to go horseback instead of riding in the feed truck like I did last year, hehehe me+Kate+dumb/young cowboys= TROUBLE! lol

And let us not forget the our other enemies acquaintances, the Northys(not technically their name but close enough), I shutter at the thought of them boys...just kidin, I really want the loosen the cinches on their saddles and make their horses run off...har de har har

   Anyways, let us show a picture of the Legends In Their Own Mind(as Kate would say)

From the guy on the paint horse and to the right minus the other one who had already rode off

Yessir they are dandies!

Enough with that, how bout some more pictures I've taken in the last couple days...

"I'm a Bird" 

Yes I do believe Mr. Summer has arrived in on the Prairie!

*I wrote most of this last night...before all hell broke loose with the horses(that post is comin right up), so I'm gonna end this post and go write about my hellion paint horse!*

XOXO

{This is such a 16-year-old-girl-post}

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..

.alright I'm feeling dramatic tonight.  Please forgive me. :) Lol okay carrying on with the post

Cast of this post:

Me{Damsel in Distress/Dodge Truck lover ect}

Dad{Person whom I know the Suspect through/person whom has brain-washed me on

loving Dodge trucks}

E.{Suspect.  aka Ed or Eddie.  aka the SOB who has got me all freakin Twitter-Pated!}

SO there's this boy.  He's cute and he's tall, and 17, he's got gorgeous green eyes 

and drives a Dodge truck that's a standard and blows black smoke

(I like Dodges that roll black smoke.....I am I Hick Chick and I'm damn proud of it!),

 he wears cowboy boots and Wranglers, likes driving fast and muddin.....

And he's a complete outlaw(i.e, he drinks, doesn't have a driver's licence, 

gets in trouble on a regular basis, is in alternative school for not doing hardly any of his

 work, ect ect ect)....So basically everything that I shouldn't want/don't need. 

 He's friends with my dad and thinks the sun rises and sets on my dear ol daddy because

 Dad drives a Dodge and acts like a 20 yr old some of the time....most of the time....alright 

all of the time.  So this is possibly the reason I like E.(code name for Mister Green Eyed 

Dodge driver Outlaw dude ;), because he is like my dad!

This all started back in August of last year I guess.  I added E. as a friend on Facebook 

because dad always talked about him and called him a little Redneck.  I had no intentions 

of starting to "like" E., I promise! Sure he drove a white Dodge flat bed...with stacks

(another + in my book)....that blew black smoke like C.R.A.Z.Y....and admittedly I did 

think he was cute but not in *That* way, ya know?

So anyways, one day, me and my mom were in town and drove by the local mechanic 

shop on Main Street and E.'s Dodge was sitting out by the road, looking like a complete 

Redneck truck with the 4-foot-too-tall-stacks(that just so happen to be my dad's old ones), 

naked ladies on the mudflaps(there's a very slim chance anyone knows what I'm talking 

about), 

windows tinted black(another thing that me ♥'s)...all that good stuff.  Anyway after I get 

back to my grandma's I text my best friend Kate(because she's friends with E.) and say :

"i saw the most retarded looking Dodge setting down on main street today!"

{Retarded is one of my most used words...sorry if it offends anyone;}

And Kate says:

"Was it Eds?! naked ladys on the mudflaps?!"

Me:

"lmao yep!, and the stacks that stick up 4 foot over the cab?!"

Kate:

"Yup!!! lmao! ol Ed S***G!"(I "*" out his last name for normal purposes)

So carrying on.  E. wrecks the white Dodge, drinkin and drivin...told ya he was a outlaw!! 

 The truck dies, Eddie survives....no biggy.  Still at this point I don't really give a damn

 bout him.  So he starts driving his old(key word being O.L.D.) Orange Chevy.

  I'm talkin Orange(like the fruit) Orange.....we go to town one day, pass him on the

 Bird Creek bridge, of course I know who it is.  There's not too many trucks that 

look like that running around our little town;)  So this is around the first of September

 I guess.  Flash forward about a week, Kate's back in school, she see's E. every day ect.

So one day, while texting Kate...we were talking about trucks(Chevy vs. Dodge) 

and out of the blue, she says:

"I know somebody who likes you=) lmao!" {sh!t's fixin to get deep when Kate starts using "=)"...lol} So I ask: "who the hell are you talking about?!lmao" {I apologize for my cussing} Kate: "Edward S***G wont quit asking about you!!" Me: "Oh Lord! lol" Kate: "Its hilarious!"    {She's a smarta**....hahahaha And I mean that in a very loving way!} Me: "I'm glad you find it funny!" Kate: "Oh believe me i do!" *Insert me saying something really sarcastic about one of her ex boyfriends, while inwardly I'm jumping up  and down for whatever reason* So fast forward to about 10:00 that night when I really start thinkin bout ol E.,  I send her a text asking what he was asking about me, and she sends a reply that reads: "He told me ur very pretty he wntd to knw if your parents wuld let u go  out ona date and stuff like tht hw old u wer an tht u lukd like me an  thts y u r prety!" Translation from "texting talk": "He told me you're very pretty, he wanted to know if your parents  would let you go out  on a date and stuff like that.  How old you were and that you looked like me  and that's why you are pretty!" {Oh did I mention Kate and Eddie dated  thru 8th grade and Freshman year?  Yeah. Lol} She went on to tell me a little more about him and make sarcastic remarks as usual. Anyway, by now who ever is reading this is prolly getting bored huh? I shall hurry it up then...maybe. So I see E. as we're driving through town a couple times in his Orange truck, I still inwardly think he's cute  and develop a major secret crush on him,  but keep my mouth shut and not even tell Kate even tho she says he asks about me  every day.  I think she prolly kinda guessed that I liked him because when  she said "He's really wanting to go out with you" and I said "Well as bad as I hate to  say it, he's just gonna  halfta wait till I turn 18" After a couple months, he stops asking about me....but then it starts back up with a  text  from Kate saying: "well last night eddie wouldnt leave me alone an he is like head over heels  for u an wants me to get u to txt him" Here we go again.... Occasionally I'll get a "like" from E. on facebook....on a good day maybe a comment. After a while they dwindle off and he goes back to *ahem* dating one of my friend's  little sister's. I'm back to not caring(or so I say), totally over him. Fast forward to about a month ago, I walked into my aunt's antique shop,  not paying any attention and defiantly N.O.T expecting to see Eddie in there since  his new(older) Dodge wasn't parked out front.  I walk over to talk to talk to my aunt,  still not paying any attention.  Look up and see E. and his friend walk through the door  from the other side of Aunt's shop. "Oh.  Sh*t." Que me drawing a complete BLANK!  So I get over my little short-out/not being  able to  answer my aunt's question, have a pretty successful rebound and  starting praying to  God that  E. doesn't say anything to me in front of my  mom/aunt since they know nothing  about him liking me.    I set down behind the counter and proceed to go thru a box of old  shotgun shells  duking my head where he can't see my face because of the cowboy hat I  had on.  Yeah I'm a major Shy Child! Him and his friend buy a washboard...for whatever reason.   I glance up enough to look at him(*ahem*the angels shoulda started singing...lol)  For a split second he looked at me (ok, seriously, why in the hell didn't the Angel start singing?!) No, I didn't faint nor did I say anything stupid.  I just dropped my eyes  and went back to looking thru the shotgun shells!  He went out the door, talking to his friend, smiling(♥) as I tried to recover  and answer mom/aunt's question about me knowing who he was.   *Insert Eye Roll here* OF COURSE I KNOW WHO HE IS!  I get a couple of playful jabs about how he was prolly coming in here to stare at me. I walk out, texting Kate and telling her to text E. and ask him if he saw me today,  she asked him and we went into a whole big texting convo about me and him.  I realize that I do infact still like him...alot.   And I'm starting to realize that I hate feeling like this because  with my mom and dad being as over-protective as they are,  there's no way in hell that I'll be able to be around him  until I'm 18.  Yeah This makes me feel just wonderful. Basically, he's everywhere I look.  His name.  Pictures of him on Facebook. Seeing him every time we go to town ect. Just like today, me and mom went out to this little burger joint called Aunt Sam's  (aka a travel trailer pulled under a old carwash..that's totally another story tho).   You can bout guess who was there...yep Mr. Dodge drivin', Green eyed,  cuter than hell Eddie. He looked  up about the time we drove by where he  was standing and saw me.  (How romantic.  I know.  Ha Lordy)  We were pulled around behind the carwash, and i could see him walking  back and forth, waiting on his order.   Finally when mom got out to get our order, I hear Eddie's Dodge  start up from around on the other side...that same old sound of a older Dodge  standard starting.  I love it...anyways, while I'm sitting in the truck waiting on mom,  he pulls around and drives by my open window, rev-ing/shifting his truck up  as he went by.  I glanced up at him with a smile then looked away.... Don't know what I'd do if I ever talked to him...I'd prolly pass out and fall over. Guess I better make sure Kate's with me so she can catch me as I fall over!Lol Anyways, I guess we'll see if anything ever becomes of me and Eddie ;) I just had to get all of that off my head/heart, ya know Thanks for reading all this(Even tho I doubt any of yall read the whole thing.   And if you did, you're wonderful!)

What's Been Crackin 'Round Here

{W.A.R.N.I.N.G This is going to  be a long drawn out post about a lot of things}

Alright so last Tuesday(17th) my best friend got in a horrible wreck.  She made it , but the girl who was driving sadly didn't.  It was unreal that night, 10 different people texting me all at once, me bawling cuz I was scared $h!tless that i almost lost my best friend.  somebody who is like my sister and someone who I trust  more than most of my family(I know i sound like a bad person when i say that), she coulda been gone like *that* but she wasn't so God evidently has a plan for her life...big time.  

It just brings a lot of things into perspective for me(even tho i didnt go through what Kate did), you know?  YOu get exactly ONE chance at life and God can call you home in a split second if he wants.  There for a while(like a couple months ago)I couldn't WAIT to grow up and turn 18 and do whatever I want, but now...it's just like I wanna hang onto being a kid for a little while longer and just soak it up.  

What am I gonna see when I'm 40 years old when I look back at my life right now?  Me not being able to wait to turn 18 and just sitting around being mad that I've still got 2 years before I turn 18?  Or me being 100% what  I really am and living life to the fullest?  I think I'd rather remember the ladder of the the two!  

So yeah, I guess Kate's wreck had a pretty good impact on me too.  Kinda made me pull my head outta my a** and realize what I have and that I better go to livin it right!  I guess God just works in mysterious way like that.

Enough with the sad stuff...Now what else? 

Oh yes, SCHOOL'S OVVVVVER WITH FOR THE SUMMMMMMER!! yes I'm a tad excited.  Well it's over with unless I want to graduate next year....hell I donno what I'm gonna do, but like I said, I'm livin life like a should, with lots of happiness :)

Speaking of happiness....Here's pictures I've took with my phone(with the Instagram app) that make me happy(lol):

Boots and jean shorts

Alright, so I 'spose you halfta be me to understand the beauty in this picture,
but this is the perfect example of a Summer Sunset in my eyes

My Baby!  My Sweetheart!  My Favorite Horse on this planet!  My Bllllaaaaaakeeey Poooo!
A.k.a Blake the horse.

I've taken more pictures with my phone using Instagram in the last week than I have taken with my camera!  I just love it!  There's something about the "old school/vintage/retro" look about those pictures I take with it that I'm just completely in love with.  I can defiantly see myself "capturing summer" with the camera on my phone lol

We've been havin a lot of storms here lately, but thankfully nothing as bad as the ones that hit Joplin and southern Oklahoma.  Lotsa big thunderheads, rain, thunder and lighting.  Me and my other good friend Lauren (who's living with one of the guys my dad works with, so she lives like 500 feet from my house) text eachother back and forth everytime it gets cloudy haha

Speakin of Miss Lauren, the other night I was mowing the yard in a bikini top, cutoff shorts, barefoot(keep reading, this does have something to do with Lauren), and a Dodge cap all while listening to Colt Ford, aka being a total hick-chick.  Thank God I live 20 miles from the nearest town and the county road is far enough away from the house that nobody can really see me. So after I get done mowing, I go out to feed the horses, Lauren see's me out walking so she walks over to the barn where I'm at and we have a good 45 minute convo about everything from chiggers to the Northy's(Cowboys.  I like their dad cuz he's funny as hell and is a good friend to my dad, but those boys? eh...) and nail polish.  haha yeah we're random.  For being 4 years older than me, either 1) I act like a 20 year old or 2) she acts like a 16 year old, cuz we get along like really well!lol  Hopefully she'll stick around for a while cuz she makes life up here in the boonies a little less boring!haha

Sooo anyways, I guess that's about it for now!  I gotta go give my stinky dog(Sadie) a bath...joy.

Hugs & Kisses

Barn Meeting, Driver's Ed and Dancing with the Stars

So it's been warm.  It's been A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!!  A couple days ago Mom and Dad order my Driver's Ed stuff, WOOO freaking HOOOOO!!  I'm excited/scared to death about taking it!  Hopefully I'll do fine.
I'm sitting here looking at my calender on my phone and there's a special date coming up in 18 days....my Sweet Sixteen!!:D  I'm in the process of planning a little party, it'll probably only consist of me, my family, my BFF Kate and a couple of my dad's friends.  Woo, got to love being homeschooled and having TONS of friends(<-- sarcasm.) But I have my best friend!  Oh and speaking of Cattle Kate.....

{Me on the right and Kate on the left}

 We had one of our epic Barn Meetings(i.e meeting at my barn...yeah we got real creative about the name!) tonight.  See the school bus let's her, her sister and brother off out by my barn.  Anywho, our barn meeting lasted a good hour and if held many laughs ;]  We cussed and discussed many things tonight, including fake cowboys, real cowboys, fake friends and skinny jeans....just not in that order.  She got a Border Collie puppy named Dixie Reb!  OMG that puppy is adorable and SOOOOOO sweet!  I don't know why I didn't take a picture of her.  I told Kate that she could leave Dixie here and I'd take care of her, but my dear best friend frowned upon this!lol    I informed  Kate that we were going to start having a Barn Meeting more than once a month.  I just love hanging out with her!  I can't wait for Dad to fix my Tahoe and for me to get my [Driver's] Permit so I can drive up north to Kate's house(which is only 8 miles from mine).  But for now we shall just have our Barn Meetings!
Now as I type this, I'm watching Dancing with the Stars, the cast this year looks, um, interesting!  So far, I like the chick off of Disney channel the best[can't think of her name to save my life, I think it's Chelsea somethin]  We shall see who makes it to the finals.....
Hmmm what else....I need to start working with my paint horse here soon.  Another thing that me and Kate discussed was when the ranch her dad works on ships their cattle out in July.  I'm gonna go with Dad and help!:)  I can't wait, it's gonna be a BLAST!
Ummm, I know there's more....
OH! The barn cat....the d@^n barn cat.  See there's a barn cat in my barn, nobody knows how he got up here, but he's here.  And he's wild.  And while I was sitting in the tackroom door, watching Tonto eat and texting Kate, you know, minding my own business; this cat comes ripping out of nowhere by me, and around the barn he goes, as quickly as he appeared, he was gone!  I hate cats......lol!  Kate thought it was funny that the cat scared the crap outta me, I didn't find it too amusing....at all.

Well I guess that's about all,

Gracias for reading my rambles!
