The cow jumped over the moon...yeah, cute lil story. That is, until it happens to you! And if'n you's git stuck, well Lordy! There's the problem. And if you gots a sweet sister at home like Alicia, you got choices to make. Yes, m'am. Choices.
That is where I am, trying to choose another direction, so I can keep my home life in check. Now, Alicia would have me take a safe job like this:
However, that may look fun and all, but it just ain't MANLY, no sir, not MANLY at all! I mean, that's a 'gal' cow, ya know. She's got them pink thangs an' all. Now, I need a job I kin understand, and no one understands bein' herded like me. Been there. Done that. It ain't right to herd yer own, so I am taking a job that just needs to be done. Cat Herdin'. Yes sirree! That's one dang tough job and I, Curt, am jist the cow to do it! Here's the video that got me hooked:
So, I'm off now. Gotta hang with these here cowboys to git the feel of the range again, only from a supervisory perspective. Got 42,000 wild cats to round up. Y'all have a good tea party. I'll be bringin' some Wild Harvested Organic Honeybush tea for later on, Alicia is gonna be needin' that.
Thanks Mudder Mark, another good week at yer place! Yee-Haw and Snugs....
Evelyn, this card is dedicated to you. Hope your birthday was the best, and hope this story gives you the giggles! LYMI (It's in the mail!)

This is not my comment!
Pat..psst, over here! (that reminds me of a cute pssst. story that MrsBoz told me!, remind me to tell you that story!) Okay, Pat, I think you might have an altered ego! Yah, I hate to break it to you, its hard to deal with at times, but its quite evident week after week. Here's why I suspect something is up. You are always making these drop dead gorgeous cards, I mean drop dead gorgeous and then smack dab in the middle of your post, someone (?) keeps throwing goofy u-tube videos in! I must say I am finding it quite easy to relate to whoever it is, its quite comical, but I just wanna make sure you are prepared to move forward.....there are several of us that can give you tips on how to deal with altered egos....we are just a pm away! We are here for you!

Pat, omg! What a story! First of all, you know I love the card. You cannot make a bad card with MY MAN, notice I said MY MAN, cuz I own him ya know! (Thank you all my SCS buddies!) But I am just tickled pink to hear about this new career for Curt....its more safe than stunt work yet still has a tinge of danger, extreme, if you know what I mean! 42,000 cats is alot but they are littler than Curt so I think its a win-win situation! Whoot!
Once again, teapotters, if you don't watch the videos you are missing out! Big time! Snort!

I just have to ask, did you search for videos to fit your story, or did you already have these bookmarked and were waiting for just the right opportunity??
Fabulous card! I am a bit worried about the cats though. They are awful small; hope Curt does not do something crazy and trample the poor things. After all, it was his overconfidence that got him stuck on the moon in the first place, right?

Oh Pat - can't wait till I have time to come back and catch your videos. Anything less cooperative to herd than cats is hard to imagine - but if you say you're da man, or da bull, I guess you know. Maybe you have some special secret - or just lots of catnip.
Love the colours in this and that great brad detail

And I thought Curt was going to go for an easy job. Herding cats is not only difficult, it can be down right dangerous!!! I loved your story and your beautiful card!
