Rise and shine at 5 AM!

Yuppers, my dear truckers, our little vacation is over!  We hit the road at 6 AM to pick up a load in Buckeye and deliver to El Paso.  Now if you remember, the last time we were in Yuma they had a load for me in Buckeye which is only 3 hours away.  They wanted me to take that 10 hour break after only working 5 hours so I could deliver at 4 AM.  All I can say.......NOT!  If they try that same stunt again, they can expect the same response......SWAP me OUT!

We had a good weekend with Mom!  We did a little shopping, a little eating, a little of this and a little of that........and a lot of my hair!  I decided I needed a serious trim as my hair just continues to get as rough as straw the longer I am on the road.  Between harsh water conditions and that one bad color treatment, the softness that I love has been as elusive as the rich truck driver that I so want to meet ;)

Well, it is was to go to shoulder length but the stylist must have lost track of what her right hand was doing and 3 years of hair was snipped away.  It is all the same length and looks a little like Sharon Osbborne's hair style.  It will take a bit to get use to and style but at long last.......it is soft and shiny!

And I got my nails done.......yeehaw!

OHHHH.......I applied for the oil fields in ND to only have their website crash during the application process.  Dang nab it!  I will contact a recruiter tomorrow to see what they did receive.  I did talk to Marie today, she is tired but hanging in there, which is a good sign for me, so far.  I still might not have all the experience required and the lack of endorsements might be my down fall.  But, I did promise to apply and we will see what happens!
