Hawt Dayum!

It's hot. I'm in Texas and it's hot as a pile of fresh crap. Minus the flies, because even the flies realize it's too hot to be doing much of anything. Today would be a perfect day for sitting under an umbrella by the beach sipping mojitos and reading a good book.

Instead, I'm in my truck idling like a big orange beast, curtains pulled as tightly as possible, big cup of ice water at my side...blogging. haha!

It doesn't get any better than that for this trucker right now. Unless, of course I was on the beach with that umbrella, mojito and book. *sigh*

I'll be delivering in Grapevine, TX in the morning... hoping to get a follow up work assignment tonite or in transit to the delivery destination in the morning. Whatever I get will likely get me moving back towards the north east, since I have time off coming to me this weekend. I am due to be in Carlisle on Friday. I hope I can get a few good runs in before then, make that money! Last week was pretty dang good. I expect a fatty check this Friday for that.

I've run my arse off. And it's been goooood! Except'n this heat. Geesh! Yesterday I had to stop at our company terminal in West Memphis Arkansas to fuel up before keeping on my way and by the time I'd finished the task of fueling and washing my windows I was soaked head to toe in sweat.

That's just too much for this gal to handle. I don't mind heat, but keep it dry please! The humidity I bet was over 70%. Which is just ridiculous! C'mon mutha natcha give it a rest!

But I don't really want to complain about the weather too much. It could always be snowing... which for me is much less desirable than a little perspiration.

Oh and keep the questions coming for an open forum post! I've only gotten a few so far and I'd like to have at least 5-6 before posting the answers! You can leave them as a comment on the open forum post or you can email them to me at gigi@gigiroxx.net

Have a great week everyone!

Better you than me, sista, better you than me in that heat.

You're in Ed's stompin' grounds - he was born and raised in that thar area! And his older sister at one time worked at the T/A in Denton - probably close to where you're idling your beast. Keep the A/C going and do not go outside unless absolutely necessary!

Off to gamble now!

I knew Salena would be cringing just reading about your heat problems. LOL

I KNOW the struggle. Summer is always soooo freakin humid in Florida. Today was really bad actually. What happens here is it will rain for 5 minutes in your front yard, not the back, then it stops, the sun comes back, and BAM you can barely breathe and sweat is pouring out because it is so damn HUMID and HOT! Ahh..I need to go stand in front of the fan now just thinking about it. Hope you stay cool and get some good loads before your time off :)

I hate humid heat. I hate heat. I hate snow too but I hate heat more.

I was in Denton at the T/A. Service in the restaurant was terrible, the waitress was quite literally all up in my face as I ordered, like she was trying to take my order by osmosis. The food was blah and the bill wasn't worth the trouble.

The entertainment however, pricess. I'm about to blog about it. It'll be good.

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
