The Cowboy Way

Nurse Rudee's completely impractical city girl cowboy boots.

In a work induced hangover, I awakened slowly and so late on Saturday. I admit that the moment I clocked out at 2 AM Saturday morning, I poured myself a glass of red wine and by 4 AM I was asleep. One glass shouldn't make me feel sluggish or make me sleep 4 hours past the 8 AM alarm to go spinning, so I'm blaming my exhaustion on the six day work week, 4oo miles driven between visits and the fact that at 8 AM Friday, I had to go to a mandatory staff meeting.

I was tempted to call off Saturday's plan for a late (or early) full moon movie night with my best friend, but I didn't since we'd already missed December's movie night. As we were on the phone tightening up our plans, my husband butted in wanting to know what "we" were all supposed to wear out that night. He's working, so really, he was just playing us. We told him since we were going to see True Grit, we were wearing cowboy boots, of course. Duh. Still not certain of the movie we should see, I suggested, The Fighter. Fanette said, "ooh, Mark Wahlberg is in that," to which I commented, " I think he's a hottie."

"Yeah," she said, "we'll have to dress differently for that."

While not strictly cowboy, they really are made by Frye. They'll do.

ETA: By the way, True Grit was good--better than the last Matt Damon movie we saw in November, the title of which neither of us could recall. Frankly, I've never seen a disappointing Coen brothers movie, have you? These boots will have another movie night out when we go see Cowboys and Aliens in the summer. I'm not sure though...for Daniel Craig AND Harrison Ford, I may have to dress them up a bit.
