why do I call myself the queen bee??

Well, this is for the record...

My name is Melissa, greek for honey bee.

I am the queen of my home.

Therefore....Queen Bee!!!

lol...

I'm back!

Well, I haven't been gone, but sorta...

I moved, moved again, quit my job of 10 years, went to school and learned to drive a big rig and now have been driving team over the road long haul trucking with my hubby. We have been all over the 48 states and am loving it. My favorite drive is the southwest. Love the desert and the warmth. I sometimes wonder why I didn't do this 20 years ago. I have always loved driving and wanted to drive around and see the country. Now I get paid. Well, with the ecoonomy, not very much yet but I am the forever optimist.

Well, other than running around the country for the last year, seeing things I have never seen, my life is the usual. I still need to lose weight, gain muscle, make more money, and so on and so on. But now I just am content with where I am. I turned 40 this year and you know what, I am still not old. I guess that is 50?? 60??? 100??? Someone tell me please! I am gonna try and blog more and bitch less.. or something like that.... I am at home right now, happy easter... i got sick and missed the get together with the family, but really enjoyed the quiet time. Sorry so selfish there, but yeah! Maybe next holiday.... I did send some sweet potato/yam thingy I do, added coconut to it this year, hope they liked it, don't know yet, it basically is the yams cut scalloped, a can of pinapple, mandarin oranges, and this year a handful of coconut. I then added punkin pie spice, extra cinnamon, and nutmeg and a little honey, slow cooked all night and viola...instant heaven, or at least I hope it was edible, I have a little in the fridge, but no appetite. But it is usually really good.

Driving truck is the easiest job I have done and it really is good for my weight issue. I have lost about 40 lbs since i started, and I know it is because I don't eat alot, you really don't get hungry sitting in a truck all day bouncing down the road. At least I don't. I am gonna start my vitamins again, I have been slacking on them and feel it.

I go to the doctor tomorrow, good luck for me...hope to have no body parts falling off or anything...lol...

wish me luck.
