We just got back from seeing my family in East Texas. In my brand new used 4Runner. It even has that used car smell with the nice new car spritzer.
I love it. We all have our own personal space during drives. That way, when Bella vomited Sunday's entire menu, it remained in her own personal space.
Ava was delightful the whole weekend. She took heavenly naps, laughed, screeched with delight and let everyone hold her for at least a nano-second +1. Bella had a bit more of a drama riddled time but that's par for course these days.
On the drive back there was the usual holiday traffic and prayers for especially long naps went unanswered.
While inching along the highway, my husband pointed out a cute dog peering out of the window. I don't look into other people's vehicles. A good example why I don't? As husband was pointing and chatting with Bella about the dog, the people in the vehicle thought we knew them and were all craning to see who we were in order to wave back. Even rolling down their window just in case we wanted to give a shout out. Awkward.
So as we keep crawling home, an 18 wheeler pulls up next to me. I really never look at those drivers. They are usually oogling hard for a glimpse of cleavage which I didn't even own until I had babies.
I made the mistake of looking at Trucker Man cuz he was right next to me and through the corner of my eye I saw his arm moving. I glanced super fast to see him tip his coffee mug at me and grin toothlessly while his window was down.
"Ewwwwwwww!" I said, shuddering dramatically. "Truckers are so gross! All horny and icky!"
Husband said the usual husband stuff, "Yeah, cuz you're HOT."
Then Trucker Man moved up next to the vehicle in front of us and I watched him talk to whoever was in there, then wave the vehicle over to his lane.
To get around the stalled out 18-wheeler in my lane.
Oh.
So, my friends, let that be a lesson to you. Truckers are not always horny and icky. Sometimes they are also friendly.

I ALWAYS flirt with truckers! ALWAYS! The reason... becuase they will hook you UP if you just smile at them. Cop up ahead- they will tell you! Wreck up ahead- they will tell you! Need to get over to get around some yahoo with a cellphone- not only will they tell you, let you over they will also exact revenge by getting right up on his ass and pretend to roll over him! So smile baby, they may be icky but flashing a pearly white at them can save you a ticket AND get you there faster! ;)
Glad you had a great weekend! We had a 4Runner and sold it when I was pregnant! I cried for days over that, I LOVED that car! I still get a bit misty eyed when I see one riding around!
Hmmmm...you make some excellent points, T. Perhaps I've been going about this all wrong. Noted.
One time a boyfriend and I were traveling to Vegas. An 18 wheeler had those icky naked lady mudflaps so when we passed the trucker I lifted up my shirt and flashed him my breasties. Damn if we didn't run out of gas in the Nevada desert. And who picked us up? You guessed it! Truckers can be nice..........and horny.
Hilarious!! Truckers creep me out too.
