The RHOK Reads: From My Nest

The RHOK

This week we've been reading Part 2 of Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman. 

(yeah, they think that's where I'm at- I won't tell them the truth- nope they won't get any of this down me-Ree's tip: vodka + orange juice = truth serum)

That poor butter colored wool suit. What was Ree thinking. Oklahoma, humidity, and wool.  All I could think of was the analogy, "Sweating like a HO in church"- Ree definitely put a twist on that bless her heart- but I guess you need to read this awesome book to know what exactly I'm talking about, right?!?

Oh and Marlboro Man- I love him. So calm and non-chalant. Waiting until she said IT, those three little  big words to him before making that trek to the city to get the ring and then reaching into his pocket and simply saying "Do you wanna get married?" I thought it was perfect.

Bra and Panty woman mowing the lawn- what's the big deal? She lives in the back 40, its her back 40 if you don't like it don't look. I've seen worse I guess. Bra and panties cover up more than some swimsuits.

Now we are supposed to be reading Part 3 for next week!!
Get this book, its the best read I've read in a long while!!!

The RHOK Reads: From My Nest

The RHOK

First of all let me just say, I am a very bad book clubber. I need to be clubbed. I'm one of those read ahead girls. I'm reading The Pioneer Woman's Black Heels to Tractor Wheels on my Kindle and it is easy to miss the fact that I am skipping through the pages a little too fast. Sorry Mrs. Edwards.
I L-O-V-E the book. I am of course a sucker for a good romance. I am finding it really hard to believe that 
Miss Ree is such a "good" girl and that the make out sessions do not include anymore than K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
Oh, and about her Daddy dropping the bomb about the big "D"- well, I'm a little lot upset about the fact that Ree and her brothers and sister do not throw adult fits about it. I would.
Oh I just love MM, he is just so darn cool, calm and collected. Why didn't I grow up in his neck of the woods? LOL! I love premature graying men- I'm married to one!
Ree, whoa you really were kind of hoity toity! At least you admit it. How did you ever not sit in a bench seat of a pickup truck next to a boy. Didn't any of your girlfriends drive pickups and you cram as many boy/girl friends in as you could? Well, I did. But, I didn't grow up with a daddy as doctor and on a golf course- which by the way is Bartlesville like split by railroad tracks or something? The pickup boot wearing people live on one side and the golf cart, designer jean wearing girls on the other? I'm confused. I'll have to ask Mrs. "Normal" Sinclair about that one.
Did I mention that I love, love, love this book? I can't put it down. It seems that maybe a man really can sweep a city girl into the country life and make it work!
Hope you are reading with us, if not pick it up- believe me it won't be hard to catch up!
