Jean Review: Womens WRANGLER JEANS-Q-BABY

Howdy ya'll!

  I decided to do reviews on jeans and my personal opinions on them. Which ones are perfect for mucking out the stables, ultimate riding jeans, or blingy jeans to hit up the nearest rodeo or honky tonk on a Saturday night. So here is a review on some of my favorite jeans: Wrangler!!!!


Q-BABY
The STATS:

  • Midrise jean. It has a rise anywhere from 8"-10"
  • Comfort fit waist band.
  • Regular/Straight/Orig Fit
  • Relaxed Hip and Thigh
  • Boot Cut
  • Stretch

The comfort fit waistband means that the inner waistband is elastic! LOVE this! It means no more gaps when you are trying to ride, groom, or anything else that might involve a lot of motion or bending. These have to be one of the most comfortable pairs of jeans that I have ever owned! I have found that this jean works for competitions, just plain old pleasure riding or trail riding, working around the barn, going out for the night, the black jeans are amazing at the office, or just to lounge around in because they are just that comfortable! I guess I'm saying that I wear them all the time ;)

Have a good week ya'll!

Praying for Colorado!

Hello everyone,

  I'm sorry to bring this horrifying news to all of you this morning. I am literally in tears this morning, there was shooting at the midnight showing of the newest Batman movie in Aurora Colorado, 12 are dead and 50 are injured as of right now. I'm so worried about all of my friends in the Denver and Aurora area and praying that they are all ok.

  I'm praying for all of the victims and their families this morning, this is just simply devastating and I can't imagine someone doing something so awful.

Sending prayers Colorado's way!

!!!Country Fried Chicken!!!

                 And who couldn't love this man? <3


I decided that while I was sitting here enjoying a John Wayne oldie ("An Innocent Man" to be exact) I would post pics of our dinner the other night and explain each one.

On the Menu:

  • Country Fried Chicken
  • Bacon Garlic Mashed Potatoes
  • Homemade Bread
  • Salad with Italian Dressing
THE COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN

Tenderize chicken with tenderizer mallet...it makes the chicken a lot thinner and easier to fry.

Dip the chicken in flour, then in buttermilk, and then back into the flour. Now you can fry it!






I used canola oil in a cast iron skillet to deep fry these. I wasn't sure if it would work but it did amazingly! Also, make sure that your stove setting isn't too high and that you turn these over regularly. Before taking out of the pan cut down the center and make sure that the chicken is cooked.



The finished meal! Sorry for the paper plate...we didn't want to have to wash dishes afterwards ;)

Hope ya'll enjoyed the pictures! You hungry yet?

Longhorns!

So just a quick note and a few pics that I had promised! My brother's girlfriend and I have been doing some landscaping around the our house, and thrifting a lot! So I've been terribly busy but wanting to post on here for the longest time. So here are the promised longhorn pictures from my trip to The Historic Fort Worth Stockyards! Wish I had taken more pics of all of the buildings but my camera went caput on me! Darn technology ;) Anyway, I hope that you enjoy!
