This weekend my little sister went to a rodeo in Houston. She lives in San Diego. She flew into Houston for a rodeo. A friggin’ rodeo!! I don’t even go to the rodeo when they have it here! My brother-in-law is a cowboy. No joke. Well, it’s more of a side job now I guess because he is also a Medic in Iraq. But the influence he has had on my sister is unbelieveable! She is now all about country. I remember when she used to like Depeche Mode and The Cure. No, wait. That’s the other sister. This one used to like Olivia Newton-John.
I know people have different tastes. But what is the big appeal about the rodeo? I went once and all I can remember is that it smelled bad. Shania Twain was there and she did help distract me. But let’s face it, she’s not going to be there every time.
Anyway, my parents met up with my sister in Houston to give her a laptop I had for her. She is in grad school and needs it to do whatever it is grad students do. I hope she gets some good use out of it, ends up getting her masters, which will lead to a PhD, which will lead to lots of money, which will lead to really cool gifts on my birthday.
I just pray it doesn’t lead to her doing some online shopping for saddles and rocky roads. Or rocky mountains. Or whatever they call those cowgirl jeans.

WOW!!! And FYI, I still do like Depeche Mode and The Cure…along with a WHOLE BUNCH OF TECHNO!! I still love ya anyways!
What is the appeal of the rodeo you ask. One word for you David “COWBOYS!” I think all girls will agree with me on that one. Can you say wranglers!!! Anywho that’s why I go anyway. Obviously your sister is a very smart woman because she married one. Good for her.
Why thank you Cassie…and yes the magic word is “wranglers”, or in my husband’s case, “cinch”.
what i do love shania twain is that she has a very pretty face and a good voice*:;
the thing that i like Shania Twain is her very emotionally driven songs-;”
wow! Shania Twain is still one of the most beautiful country music artist today–.
Shania Twain for me is the best country music singer of all times, I also like Taylor Swift but nothing will beat Shania Twain *:*
