Gi-Gi Roxx - The Ravings of a Lunatic

Can this even be considered the dog days of summer? *lemme go do a quick Google search to find out* According to Wikipedia : "Dog Days" (Latin: diēs caniculārēs) are the hottest, most sultry days of summer. In the northern hemisphere, they usually fall between early July and early September. In the southern hemisphere they are usually between January and early March. The actual dates vary greatly from region to region, depending on latitude and climate. Dog Days can also define a time period or event that is very hot or stagnant, or marked by dull lack of progress. The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, was somehow responsible for the hot weather. So, yeah welcome to the dog days of summer y'all. Man it's been sweltering here lately. I'm not fond of weather extremes, especially not the heat, more especially not humid heat. And in the past few weeks it's been the latter loathed weather that pretty much the whole country h...

I just deleted the "Other Side of Gi-Gi Roxx" blog. It was crap. And I only had 15 posts in a period of what, 6-8 months. Hardly worth it, I figured. But thanks to those of you who read the few posts I'd made. I'm sure many of you are quite aware of my lack of blogging over here, too, lately. My posts are getting fewer and farther between, especially since I got rid of my internet air card. I'm just not as compelled to tell my stories as I was once. So consider this fair warning that things might be getting even quieter around here. If you need something to read, click on a link over to the right, any of those blogs will keep you totally entertained! Some of them are updated daily, some of them even mutltiple times a day. So there you have it... :o)

So I've finally arrived back to some sort of normalcy since my 10 day vacation. Which, by the way, was amazing on so many levels. My first run back was a late night pick up, all night run, and early morning delivery that took me from our Columbus terminal to Warren, OH to acquire the load then over to Rochester, NY to deliver. It was exhausting, especially since I'd had a full nights' sleep the night before and couldn't do more than cat nap before hitting the road after sunset. After I delivered, I shut down for a ten hour break behind the K-Mart store I had delivered at and managed about a two hour nap in the scorching heat. I idled off and on but to little avail. It was near 100 degrees out and this is not a girl who likes to sweat. 10 hr DOT break complete I headed over to Macedon, NY to pick up my next assignment, only to get there and be told it didn't exist. argh. So I moved down the street a piece to a local Wal-Mart where I occupied 65' of space for a fe...
