Where I’ve Been: Fun n’ Freaky Snow Days, Part 2
Now, yesterday I posted some fun pics from when I got to explore when I was shut down due to the freeway being closed. Where the freeway was closed the weather was awful. Where I was, it was beautiful. So that was fun. But about a week later, I got to actually experience some of … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Fun n’ Freaky Snow Days, Part 1
All through January and February and the first part of March, I got to drive places where it was nice and sunny. No rain, no snow, just 60-80 temperatures. It was lovely! Then, come mid-March, it’s as if the world realized that I was enjoying myself far too much, driving wise, and decided that I … Read more
Where I’ve Been: Sunny California Edition
Most of my time in California took place back in February and March. Mira Loma is home to one of the truck terminals for our company. Farmer Boys Restaurant is a little over a half a mile walk from there, which is perfect for a little bit of exercise. To the right of this photo … Read more
Thirty Day Challenges
Welp, I have officially tanked all of my 2013 New Year’s Resolutions and my thirty day challenges that I had planned for myself. The last few months have not gone AT ALL the way I thought they would, and I have had a really hard time of settling in to any kind of routine since … Read more
Dear Gun Control Democrats: 6 Ways to Make a Better Argument
Reblogged from Kontradictions: Dear Gun Control Democrats: It’s been less than a week since national gun control in America died. No “assault weapons” ban. No “high-capacity” magazine ban. Not even the Manchin-Toomey background check compromise that, according to Senator Mark Kirk, was reached by getting drunk on a 54-foot mega-yacht named Black Tie, which is … Read more
Panic Attack Inducing Drive
Holy cow, I think I had a panic attack. The adrenaline racing through my body was not the good kind of adrenaline. The good kind you get on the scary theme park rides where you scream your fool head off while your body feels like it’s being affected by a zillion G’s of force … Read more
My New Home…
…For twenty-six days a month. The company put me in a Freightliner Cascadia, which has oodles of room and storage space, as big rigs go. It’s pretty low on the miles, too, which is nice. I took some photos of it empty to give you an idea of hat it’s like inside. I’ll do another … Read more
A Bitchy Complainy Type Post
If I don’t look like death warmed over in this pic, it’s a miracle. I mean, it’s because of my fabulous skills as a photographer. Mmm, yep. I’ll stick with that explanation. The reason behind the title of this post is pretty simple. I’m gonna moan and complain a teensy bit. Everybody has those posts … Read more
Walking About In Sunny California
Trucking this time of year tends to have a lot of down time. The busiest time of the year (Christmas season) has just passed and the consumption of everything is down, down, down. So sometimes we have to sit around awhile waiting for a load. When our economy was roaring when I was trucking before, … Read more
Trucking Makes Me Feel Beautiful
I’m a large, yet short individual. By the standards of our skinny-obsessed culture, I’m not much to look at. I’m nearly as round as I am tall! Fortunately, my husband enjoys women of all shapes and sizes. But one of the things that drive attractiveness is how rare a commodity actually is. Thus, when one … Read more
