The stories of a transplanted cowgirl. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Claws, fondant, and the Un-Loved Middle Child UPDATED. I tried something new today and I think I may have pulled at least one muscle in my hand. Wait That makes this post sound way more fun than it really is. Here are the results:. It's a birthday carrot cake (the ULMC's favorite) from Tasty Kitchen. An offshoot from the Pioneer Woman. The cake itself was very easy to make and smells heavenly - I can't wait to try it tonight! This week's Spi...

The stories of a transplanted cowgirl. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Chickens, Jelly, and Facebook. I thought about change today, while I was making black raspberry jelly from berries picked from my woods, while the chickens clucked and purred under the window and my husband’s chainsaw ran its protesting teeth through the Birch tree we plan to use to warm our house this winter. I thought about how I never would have imagined this life when I was busy making plans. 8221; and I could really be a friend this time.

The stories of a transplanted cowgirl. Sunday, March 28, 2010. Easter, Jett, and My Dad. This week is supposed to be your favorite post, your best post, of the ones you have already done. The key word there is "supposed." This is a new post, but, in the spirit of Easter and new beginnings, I am choosing this as the best one. A few weeks ago, my best friend asked me to stop by her classroom on my prep period, she had something she wanted to show me. I had no idea she was going to show me this:. I puffy he...

cowgirls like me: Appearances, Books, and Hugs
http://rikkicarr.blogspot.com/2010/04/appearances-books-and-hugs.html
The stories of a transplanted cowgirl. Thursday, April 8, 2010. Appearances, Books, and Hugs. I just put down a book. This is a normal thing, I do it probably a hundred times a day without thinking about it, but this time was significant for two reasons. First, I was crying. Well, sobbing a little. The second is that this book was brought to me by a student. My student, a girl in my first period class, announced to me that she had “the best book ever” for me to read. I don’t mean cleavage and leg, ...

The stories of a transplanted cowgirl. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Propane, septic, and speeding tickets. Then the mail came. Two days before Christmas, well into the evening, my husband looks at me and says "oh SHIT I forgot to call for propane. Hon, can you do that tomorrow? Two Days. Four hundred dollars for *some* propane, not coming close to filling the tank. "Look," the children whispered to each other, "she smiles but can't talk while she does. It's creepin' me out, man.". Now, the mail. I really...

http://rikkicarr.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
The stories of a transplanted cowgirl. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Three Girls, Nine Hundred Children, and Unsatisfactory Macaroni. Two very close friends of mine and our nine hundred children went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks and then out to dinner - what fun! We had the entire theater to ourselves which was such a blessing, since we didn't have to shush the children or offend anyone by pushing past them for the eighth trip to the bathroom! She snapped, "there are NO cell phones in the theater! Then, ...
