Garth Brooks and Chris LeDoux sing a song called "Whatcha Gonna Do with a Cowboy," which I was reminded of Saturday night when several cowboys from the rodeo crashed at my place.
I was expecting a full house that night anyway, since a friend from Jackson, Wyo., was supposed to stay along with her boyfriend, and maybe a roomate. Jonna was also staying since she was in town to watch her brother, Nathan, ride broncs.
The Jackson friend never showed, but Nathan and his girlfriend needed a place to crash, so I gave them my spare room. Then a friend of Nathan's girlfriend showed up needing a place. Nathan asked if another cowboy friend of his could stay - to which I said yes - and later yet another cowboy showed up!
Fortunately, I have a pull-out couch that two of them took. The last poor cowboy got a sleeping bag on my hardwood floor, which, maybe after riding bulls and broncs felt pretty ok...?
This is how my living room looked when I woke up. It was like a cowboy exploded all over everything! It cracked me up...
I've never had so many boots in my entry way before...
Hat rack...
From the song:
You can see it takes a special kinda woman
To put with the life a cowboy leads,
Cause his boots are always muddy,
And his beer drinkin buddies
Will camp out on your couch and never leave...
It was like "a cowboy exploded all over everything"?
