We try to balance the testosterone and the estrogen here at our homestead. We have my husband and I and then with the pets we try to balance the two, you know, make it even steven as much as we can. But, most always and much to my husband's dismay, the girls reign.
So I thought I'd give you a lil' introduction to the men in my life. Shall we?
First off, meet my better half. The song in my heart. The peanut butter to my jelly. The ache in my loins.
Er' wait, women don't have loins, do we? We have thighs.
Yeah. Thighs. I hate my thighs. They're lumpy and white and resemble cottage cheese. *heavy sigh*
Anyway, he's what floats my boat. Cranks by tractor. Blows my skirt up and my barn doors open.
And yes, at times, he's even the burr under my saddle.
Lately, he's been more of the latter. *giggle*eye roll*
Meet, my husband...

| "bj" |
Yeah, we like to keep things simple around here. Me, "tj". Him, "bj". [said like Tarzan]
For a long time we had a cat named, "Mama Kitty" who had a litter of kittens and we kept two of the kittens from that litter. Both were girls and one was the runt of the litter.
The runt we named, "Baby Kitty". Her sister we named, are you ready for this?
"Sister Kitty". See? Simple.
My husband was born in Madison, Wisconsin and raised in Green Bay. Which makes him bleed green and gold. If you asked him what floats his boat or cranks his tractor, blows his skirt up or his barn doors open; he'd answer, "The Green Bay Packers" without missing a beat. Not his loving and loyal wife. No. Uh uh. *giggle*shrug*
He's hard working and funny. Thinks good thoughts but doesn't always act on them, really. Total extrovert. Avid hunter and fisherman. Proud "Cheesehead". Crotchety and cantankerous at times. Cute. Loyal. Friendly. Loving.
He's da man.
Behind Testosterone Door No. 2 is...
 |
| "Gabe" |
Also lovingly known as, "Schmitten", "Punkin' Head" & "My Lil' Cherry Blossom".
He has the strength of a lion yet the heart of a kitten.
He loves us, but I am the keeper of his heart.
He is painfully shy and very serious. If a stranger crossed his path they would mistake him to be feral. Little would they know that he is one of the sweetest, kindest creatures any one person could love. And I am that lucky one person.
He has a story to tell which I will share with you someday soon.
Also, he eats the heads off of squirrels. *shudders*
Last but not least is the Frizzle to my Shizzle.
 |
| "Mr. Whipple" |
He is our Frizzle Cochin Bantam Rooster.
He is the creme de la creme of the poultry scene. Hens flock to him, pardon the pun. Grown women and even men swoon over him and long to have him.
He's even our barn's Mascot for my Save Our Barn Campaign over here.
To say he is loved is an understatement.
He is adored.
And there you have it. I hope I didn't bore you to tears with my version of Two & A Half Men.
My apologies if I did.
And my sincerest gratitude if you managed to make it this far. It still amazes me that anyone visits and truly reads and sees this stuff.
I truly appreciate it I want you to know.
Oh, and one more thing. I thought this was too cute not to share so here it is:
*giggle*snort*
Peace & Blessings,
tj
"Bore you to tears?????"
ReplyDeleteNo way! I LOVED reading about the men in your life. I really enjoyed this post because it was personal and VERY funny!
"We try to balance the testosterone and the estrogen here at our homestead."
LOVED THAT, TJ! And it's so ironic you mentioned testosterone and estrogen because my post for tomorrow mentions the same thing!
"First off, meet my better half. The song in my heart. The peanut butter to my jelly. The ache in my loins.
Er' wait, women don't have loins, do we? We have thighs"
HAHHAAHAHAAHAHHAHAHA! HILARIOUS!
Me, "tj." Him, "bj." Oh, how CUTE!!!
And what a precious photo of Gabe. Isn't it something how we come up with affectionate names for our pets? I used to call my cat, Jerry, "Schnookums" and "Pookie Boy."
He too was shy and serious. A very sensitive kitty he was, but also very sweet. He and I had a very special bond.
The shot of Mr. Whipple is beyong spectacular. And I can see WHY he is adored. How wonderful that you have a rooster for a pet.
That last photo and caption made me HOWL! Bwhahahahahahahahahhaahaha!
Thanks so much for sharing such an enjoyable post, dear lady. I alway love stopping by and reading/seeing what you share. You've created such a wonderful space here in blogland.
Thank you. I feel blessed.
Have a great Sunday, dearest TJ!

What a great post, TJ! I'm with your friend Ron...never bored to tears. I laughed and giggled at the thighs comment because I can so relate to having "those" same thighs. And Gabe, he is magnificent. What a great photo of him sleeping comfortably on that lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read one post that I did not enjoy on this blog. Ill keep coming back, though, looking for that one boring post!
Happy Sunday!
Praying that you enjoy good days this next week.

Oh Ron and Annesta, you two are the icing on my cake! (((hugs))) Thank you so much for the needed confidence boost. Sometimes I doubt this whole blogging thing but when I hear from people like you it makes it all worth the while. Thank you for that. :o)
ReplyDeleteAnd Ron, I love that name, "Schnookums". I may have to borrow that one if you don't mind. ;o)
And Annesta, thank you for the compliment regarding Gabe and the quilt. Gabe is magnificent but then I'm kinda partial. ;o) And I just love red & white quilts. They're my weakness.
Thank you, you two for stopping by!
x's to you both! :o)
I adore each and every one of your blog posts. It's nice to have met your two and a half men. They're all very lucky to have you. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello dear Dru! *waving* Thank you! You are too much! And for that I am grateful. ;o)
