Sawbones and Gapers...A love Story!







Once again I am fixin' to be another year older! Yep, it's soon to be the day of Queenie's Birth! Hold onto yer rears, cause here comes the big 32!

Ten years of livin' since the age of 22. Whew! I'm exhausted, and the mules are sittin with their tounges hangin' and their butts droopin! Who can blame them?!

It's been one Wild West Freak Show this summer! Queenie got her very first visit to a sawbones. Crap! He came, he took an organ( no it weren't my heart!) and he left. Jerk! He didn't even let me see the darn thing up close and personal like. Least he could have done, seein' as how I had grown rather attached to it! And another thing, he didn't even give me a butt lift or a Tummy tuck. Sheesh! I paid him 'nuff to turn me into a Goddess, but, alas! He left me a Queen! LOL!!

The Lady deserves a lot of credit here, as not only is she Gorgeous, but a true friend indeed! She put up with me a pukin', cryin' ( get off me! When yer pendix starts to blow up, it hurts like hell!) and feelin' like the world was shovin' me outta here! Bless her stunnin' heart that matches( and exceeds!!) her lovely face. Whew! I was sure they were gonna slip up at the sterile box and remove all my appendages without askin'.

The Mules were worried they were never gonna get fed again, so they were sure glad when I finally came home. Mostly in one piece.


I still think my ass and tummy got the raw end of that deal. If'n you can cut me open and take out something thats been there since birth, why can't they take that which has only been hangin' off my body for a couple years? Don't make no sense a'tall!

Plenty of changes here this summer. I got a new mule, and she bolted! I sure hope ya'll agree with me that she is nuts! Who runs off from the lap of luxury to wander other pastures? Stupid Mule. We wish her the best, an hope her new Wagon owners take care of her. ~Sigh~

The Lady is finally(insert huge sigh of heartfelt relief here!) hooked up with somebody. Whew! I was exhausted jest trying to keep up with her. I gladly pass her over to Slow Boil! May they make each other as happy as they have made us!! LOL!

Hubby is off into the sunset again. He's tiltin' at windmills all over this country. But at least when he gets up there to work, they aren't shootin' at him and tryin' to take his hair! He don't have much anyhow!

The mules and I are carreenin' full throttle all over town, takin' out Gapers and locals alike( we aren't discrimantin'!)and every now and then we pause for a fill up with The Lady and Slow Boil. Lil' Bit turns 4 here soon, and boy! Will that be a relief. We can only take so much resistance to our relaxed natures. LOL! GET OFF ME! I'm laid back, when I'm passed out Drunk!

But, I digress. Summer is windin' down, and with it my patience to deal with Gapers, heat, inflated prices, and tacky garage sales. I got a Garage, so I wish they'd quit hawkin' theirs!

There is a rumor floatin' around that me and Hubby are gonna build a house on the "40 acres", and I will keep y'all posted. The mules don't know squat about it, cause they like the dark,and mushrooms. Really, they do!

Well My Disciples, this is the update, such as it is. We are busier than a Wagon Pilgrimage bein' chased by Injun's; and Lucy jest hacked up some godforsaken' muck on the carpet(Holy Shit, I hope!) so I gotta go! Insert insane grimace here!


Queenie. Rollin' out, and Headin' 'Round the Bend!

So I am posting in hopes of well wishes and healin' thoughts for Lucy. Took her to the Sawbones today and found out she has a potentially serious tumor on her hip. I scheduled her for surgery on Monday, and here's hoping we find out its benign, and that when they remove it, they get it all. The prognosis otherwise is such that I feel like pukin' wailin' and lockin' myself in a room full of wine and chocolate until my uterus falls out, and my heart explodes. For her part, she is takin' the news pretty well...the fact that she doesn't know squat about it helps a lot! It is complete crap that Mules get Cancer anyway. WTF!! They are only with us for such a short time in the first place, and as they are buckets of Love and affection( and a little shit-bit thrown in if yer Lucy) is just total B.S! I am so mad, and scared I could jest shoot someone. Problem is, who? So at 8am Monday, Luce will be gettin' cut up,stitched up, blood-work done and a slew of other t

This won't be one of my best posts', or really a funny one, but I feel as though I must be honest about some things in my life on here, and recently life has seriously kicked me in the face, trampled on my tender heart and left me in some difficult circumstances so I feel the need to spew. The Hubby, who got very very sick last Thanksgiving and continued to be ill and a medical mystery for the better part of a year, passed away at the young age of 61 on the 22nd of July, 2011. It was a stressful, shocking and altogether horrible event. Made worse for me by the previous deaths, also at very young ages' of both my parents...Dad in 2000, Mom in 2006. I had taken care of them both for rather long periods of time prior and it was no picnic to do the same for Steve. I would like to mention that for the most part,the Hubby stayed in what I consider to be pretty good spirits until close to the end. Then it was just hard for us both to cope. We were married for 9 years, and toge

Dog Gone....

A storm blew into Queenie's world recently, and I plumb went 'round the bend. I decided that with all the recent changes in my life( Ya'll know they haven't been good ones) that I needed to downsize in some area's I would normally NEVER consider. I decided to re-gift a Mule. Pause here for dramatic effect. I can hear you all gaspin' in disbelief, and frankly, I can't even blame you. I felt like my guts were bein' ripped out thru my heart! I convinced myself that I was doin' this for all the right reasons, and that it was necessary. So, the other day, after much heartache, despair(these are my babies people!) I loaded up food and treats, hitched Stickers to the Wagon and roared down the dirt road toward town... I immediately told her to bite these people, eat their house, chase their old dog, and to harass their freakin' cats. I am not proud of this behavior, but nobody that reads this, or who knows me, can say they are surprised by it, so Shut
