My Fat Baby, Ariat, CowGirl Boots! The Cutest Boots Ever Baby!

Material things have never really meant that much to me. Through out my life, I have known what it is to want and I have known what it is to be in need. I have never been one to dream of fancy houses, boats, and cars. I honestly can live without the diamonds and precious stones. I know this is not the norm for most women. I mean diamonds are a girls best friend...right? At least that is what I have heard. I do have a confession!

I hate to shop! There I said it! Give me my list of things we need and I will be out of that store in record speed. I think I was dropped on my head when I was a little girl as I know this is not normal.


I do have to admit there are two things in my life that I have always dreamed of having. One was an old Volkswagen Beetle. I am still dreaming and holding out for that one. Not just any bug but a 1971 convertible Volkswagen.

The second thing I have always wanted since moving to Texas was some “Ariat Fat Baby Cowgirl boots!”

To me they are about the cutest boots I have ever seen. They call out to me...Buy me!. This is rather a foreign concept for me. I have seen women wearing them and I find myself staring at their feet conveting their boots. This is just not normal!

For the last six years, my family has asked me,

“What do you want for your birthday?”

I smile real big and say, " I want some Ariat Fat Baby Cowgirl boots!”

Christmas roles around and again I am asked,

“What do you want for Christmas?”

I answer in great anticipation...

"I want some Ariat Fat Baby Cowgirl boot!”

Either I am not saying it right or their hearing has gone bad. I go to open my gift, which I am so appreciative of and there may be a robe, a piece of jewelry, a nick knack of some kind but sadly, there have been no boots.

I am really not a shallow person and I certainly do not act sad or disappointed. I tell myself, "Oh well... maybe next year."

I patiently wait until the next special occasion rolls around because I know the question will once again come around and I will tell them once again.

“I want some Ariat Fat Baby Cowgirl Boots!”


It is not that they are really expensive, I could go out and buy a pair for myself. If the truth be told, I do not usually go out and spend a lot of money on clothes and things like that. I am a jeans and flip flops kind of person. Remember the shopping part? That would mean I would have to sit and try on boots.

There always were other things more important than me getting my boots. I have tons of jewelry passed down to me but I wear the same Turquoise pieces I have had for the last twenty years. I may invest in a watch from time to time. To buy the boots for myself, was not on top of my want list and I really did not need them.They were however on my wish list...which is totally different. Did I want them? Sure I wanted them! But it was my wish that someone would buy me the Ariat Baby Fat Cowgirl Boots!

We had decided to draw names at Thanksgiving.Three Christmas's ago everyone gathered on Christmas Eve at our house to open gifts. There were at least twenty or so family members gathered around in our den. Unknowingly to me, my oldest daughter Amber had switched names with one of her siblings to get mine. We all opened our gifts and I recieved a pretty frame from her. I kissed her cheek thanking her from my heart.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I answered the door to find no one there. In the chair was a present beautifully wrapped addressed to me.

I walked back into the den with the box in hand and asked,

“Okay who played Santa this year?”

No one fessed up. I searched the faces trying to see if I could find a hint of a grin or a giggle. I began to open the box, as everyone looked on with anticipation. There in the box laid my Ariat Fat Baby Cowgirl boots!

You would have thought I had won a million dollars. I jumped up and down squealing with delight like a teenager. I even shed a few tears. I looked around at the faces and tried to discern once again who did this for me. I then looked at my oldest daughter who had tears in her eyes. I knew right then it was my Amber.

I looked at her and said, “Was it you honey?”

She smiled and admitted to buying my boots. She told me how she had gone all over to find the perfect pair. She said,"Mom you do so much for me, I wanted to make this Christmas special."

I hugged her so tightly with one arm around her and my boots in the other.

Therefore, each Christmas since, she has decided that she will get me a pair of Ariat Fat Baby Cow Girl boots. She will bribe whomever to get my name. I now have three pair. I wear them all the time except when I am in my flip-flops. They are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned.

Now I am thinking…it is only a matter of time I will look out the door and find my 1971 Volkswagen convertable sitting in the drive way. My life will then be complete..

Is there a lesson to be learned here? Well maybe a couple of them, if I may share my thoughts.

If you really want something..do not give up, and if no one hears you ..well say it a little louder!

We do not always get everything we want and some things are not that important...not even my boots.

Lastly...All the material things in the world will never bring happiness,

Unless... you happen to be wearing my Ariat Fat Baby Cowgirl Boots. :)

Sunnie Girl,

I loved the Volkswagon convertible. If I had one, I'd be driving it now, lol.

And, I'm hugely happy for you to have finally gotten your Fat Baby boots!

But, for the life of me, I can't learn to like Fat Baby boots, lol!!!

You know I hate shopping as much as you, and a few months ago, I was need of new boot-wear. I went. I browsed. I tried on pair after pair. All my friends are wearing them, but ... it just didn't fly.

I couldn't do it, lol!!!

I think I'm destined to be a basic Ropers' girl for the rest of my days.

However, just cuz I don't like the Fat Baby boots on me, I'm inclined to believe they look great on you, and totally suit you. :)

Congrats!

Hello A.A.,

You are so funny...Roy and I had this conversation today as we were coming down the stairs of one more shop..

"Are you ready to go?" I say..."No just a bit more!" says he..."You are so the woman." says I..He turns around and says "Huh??"I say I only mean.."You like to shop and I dont!".."Oh??"..He says.."it is not shopping I am just looking"..I sigh and and sit down...lol

I do love my boots...They are so comfortable..I think they do have mens too..not sure..maybe with a pointed toe..Not sure about the boot scoot boogie! hahaha..

Thanks for the smile...

Hope you are doing well..

Aw, this was such a cute hub. I never heard of Ariat Fat Baby Girl Cowgirl boots but they look awesome in the photos and I thought this might be a fictional story until I saw how wide your grin was when you were holding up the boots!

I did own a VW bug for a decade back in the 1970's to 1980's but it was yellow and not a convertible. Hope you get your convertible one day especially if you're able to afford it from book earnings. Now that would really be happiness!

Voted up across the board.

Terrific story, Sunnie-Oh my gosh we have so much in common. My sister and I always say that the 'shopping gene' skipped us! LOL

I love cowgirl boots and of course you need a pair-you are in Texas! But, I've never heard of these. I'll take your word that they are truly the best for comfort.

What a sweetheart, that your daughter now buys you boots for christmas. Thanks for sharing this endearing hub. Rated up.

Sweet story, Sunnie. I had a VW Beetle(actually 2) once (at different times) and got a speeding ticket with one of them. I was going 40 in a 30 mile zone. The judge teased me and said he didn't know VW Beetles could go that fast. Glad you got your boots. (:

Sunnie Day, I think I have found a kindred spirit in you...it's funny cause that is exactly what I want!...an RV (that looks like a vardo...I'd have to repaint) and travel the country. The thought of simple living totally intrigues me. Go when you want to go, see what you want to see...and live an unencumbered life. I hope we can both have our dream. Blessings

I think they are so pretty and really neat..all the docor is so wonderful..They remind me of our modern small trailers somewhat..There is nothing wrong with being a dreamer..In eight years my husband retires. Our hope is to sell the house and travel all over in an RV..I hope we can..one day this big house and yard will be too much for us..I like the thought of simple living..

Have a blessed day..just read your two hubs..wonderful.

Sunnie Day, thanks for the video...I enjoyed it...aren't vardos cute and pretty? Probably not too practical. I once tried to convince my husband to buy a silver bus, so he and our eight children could traverse the country. We put a down payment on it, but never went back for it.

I am the dreamer, and thankfully he is more practical.

Thanks again for letting me re-view my dream.

Hi Bob,

A big good morning! I am so glad you stopped by and enjoyed the story of my boots..you are right..I am about at my fill with boots right now..the boots last for ever...I dont know where I would put them..although..I guess I will never turn down another pair..I have one more set I am thinking about and they are turquoise color..haha

The beetle may have tempted me for sure to let go of at least one pair of boots :) I will make a deal with you..when I think of Bob I will think of Porshe Carrera GT and when you think of Sunnie you think of Beetle but not those crawly things..Then maybe our dreams will come true..

Thank you look forward to hearing from you

Take care,

Hi Sunnie. Another lovely, from the heart warm article from you. I was sooo glad when you got your boots, but i don't know about a pair every year...perhaps you should have not been so enthusiastic. The kids must really love you. There's a moral to this story - several actually. First, if you are patient and consistent you may eventually get what you wish for. And the waiting and anticipation makes the gift beyond the price of rubies. You wouldn't have swapped those boots for a king's ransom - well, maybe the Beetle would have tempted you. I also think when we wish hard enough, we launch some energy into the universe which helps us achieve our goal. I am thinking Porshe Carrera GT right now, or is that too greedy!? Voted up...Bobx

PS I will contact you re the other matter

Hi Cardisa,

I know I am way off in that department. My husband is a better shopper than I am..he wonders throught the stores...picks up this or that and I feel like I am being tortured..I just want to get what I need and leave...lol My daughters love to shop...I am looking at my watch going are we done yet? hahaha

Thank you ...maybe one day I will..I came close this past spring..but the deal fell through...I drove it too..first time I ever sat in one...

Take care,

Sunnie

Now we just need to get me some. I don't have any boots. Right now, I have one pair of shoes and one pair of sandals. I also have 3 pairs of slippers. They are all over 3 years old. THAT is how much I hate to go shopping.

What a wonderful hoiday story. I like it on so many levels. Perseverance being one of them. The beauty of Amber's heart on another. Now the VW.
