Gi-Gi Roxx - The Ravings of a Lunatic

So I went to the mall this past Saturday to get my hair done. I was looking for something like the shaggy sexy do on Winona Ryder in the picture above. But I ended up with the hairstyle below. This picture was taken day one after I got it cut and while I managed to make it look kind of cute, but wasn't certain I liked it. After 5 days, I've decided I hate it. I'm going today to get it fixed. And here is the new and improved Gi-Gi Roxx. :) Soooo much better!

I was making my way around my route this morning when I picked up a young girl waiting with her mother at a bus stop. She was somewhere between the age of 12-15. It's hard to tell these days, what with all the hormones and such, just how old a youngster is. But since she was headed to the middle school across town it's safe to assume she was within that age range. Her mother bid her farewell, instructing her not to get off the bus until she gets to school. At first I took this to mean that she had trouble with the girl skipping school. But as the bus ride progressed I realized it was because of another reason. The girl obviously had some sort of social/mental deficiency that became quite noticeable as the bus put distance between the girl and her mother. The girl started "rocking" in her seat, at first slowly and subtly but as more people boarded the bus it became more fast paced and pronounced. I can only assume she had some sort of anxiety building within he...

So I've got a lot to say today. I would have put all of these tales into one post but where would the fun be in that? Exactly. I was planning my grocery shopping for the week, putting items into the handy iPhone app I downloaded for keeping track of shopping lists. I was opening and closing the fridge, the cabinets, and scanning what shelves we use to store food stuffs trying to get a good idea of what we needed versus what I was just gonna get anyway. I was planning a menu item that I didn't want to buy stuff for that I already, too, so the double and triple checking was essential for my "budget". *as if I actually keep a budget, I just try not to buy stuff I've already got like I did last time around wherein we ended up with TWO 18 packs of eggs. So I was making my list and checking it twice. I asked the husband what he wanted or needed. I inputted the items into the app as he listed them. I then remembered that there were these delicious little treats my ...

The other day my husband and I were out and about running errands during one of my split shift breaks. We headed downtown to pay our City fees. On the way out of the City office I noticed something in the vending machine across the hall from the door we had just exited. There was a bag of Reese's Pieces that had gotten stuck mid-vend. My mind instantly revved up with excitement. "Honey, give me a dollar and a quarter." "No." "Please?!" "Why?" "See that bag of Reese's Pieces? If I put the money in and select that same thing, we'll get a free bag!" "No, you won't. C'mon let's go." "But puuuulllleeezze! I just know we'll get that bag and the one behind it. For only a buck twenty-five! C'mon, pretty please? It's only a dollar twenty-five honey. I know you got it." "You're insane." "Pretty please. (batting eye lashes and putting on pouty face) I really wanna s...

So as you can see I've changed it up a bit here on the ol' bloggy. Actually what I've done with the title and overall theme of the blog is go right back to where I started. I had a blog over on what used to be known as "Yahoo! 360", what seems like many moons ago. I called it simply "The Ravings of a Lunatic". I was an office jockey at the time and had a lot of time on my hands and even more things on my mind. When I stepped into blogging it was more about my day to day insanity at the office and at home. I incorporated some of what was happening in the celebrity world from time to time. But overall it was an outlet for my overflowing brain waves. When I made the big move from desk driver to truck driver I decided to start blogging about my experiences in that new arena, which took my blogging in a whole new direction. I was still blogging about my crazy life but it was more centered around the topic of my training and subsequent life as an over-t...

My husband and I were discussing my recent adventures at work last night. I was telling him about the girl that talked my ear off the other day so much so that I resorted to the following: Girl: My family has a lot of fun traditions for Christmas. My sister and I sneak down early on Christmas morning and empty our stockings. We have lunch at our place then go to grandma's house and have dinner and open presents, then we go to Uncle Jimmy's and have dessert and open presents. Then we go home and open our own presents, most people do it in the morning at their own house I suppose, but we like to wait until night time. It's our tradition I guess you could say....what's your family traditions? Me: I'm Jewish. Girl: Oh.... (crickets.... pure silence for the rest of the ride) I am not Jewish. And I mean no foul to the Jewish people. I have plenty of friends who are Jewish. I just didn't want to hear her voice any more and couldn't think of a truly polit...

I'm considering taking the blog in a new direction. Just letting you know in advance. Thanks, Gi-Gi Roxx
