Two fat, old, lesbian truck drivers and one adorable puppy roaming the country. We write about anything that pops into our heads. The lesbians not the puppy. We're intelligent, irreverent and sometimes funny. But mostly we just don't give a damn what

Holidays with the grandkid
Some pictures from Christmas and yesterday....
2010 already
I can’t believe the zeros are over. Seems like just yesterday we were sitting around debating whether or not to run to the store and buy up water just in case the nutballs were right about Y2K. And yet, it seems like a very, very long time. In ...
Okay, so I dropped the ball
Merry Christmas! Kindly ignore that this greeting is several days too late. Am I in time to wish everyone a happy Kwanza? I’m pretty sure I’m behind on the Hanukkah thing, too. So Happy Hanukkah, too. And may all your days be merry and br...
And this little piggy cried …
He cried “Wii Wii Wii” all the way home, of course. I can’t remember what the other four piggies did. How strange. I think one had roast beef and the other had none. Which two piggies experienced this feast and famine is beyond me. ...
Happy Thanksgiving
Hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hedon picked up our daughter and granddaughter last night and they are staying with us through Sunday. We spent today with family and enjoyed an excellent feast. A good time was had by all … excep...
Results are in … again
We did indeed make it home the night that I wrote my last post. A close shave on the quitting front, to be sure. I lasted all of about three minutes before heading to the scales. I had my fingers crossed for a five pound loss. I didn’t get the ...
Random thoughts
Since I’m in too much of a state, and not fit to write anything coherent, I figured I’d just post some thoughts that are popping into my head right now. * I want to quit TWMNBN so badly, it’s like … it’s like … cra...
Boo that’s sweet
Okey-dokey. It’s Halloween, so you know what that means. Time for me to write another post about another holiday which I not only know nothing about, but which I also have no desire to learn about. I am, of course, willing to ramble. And aren&#...
Hagwire special — Boycott continues
Truck wash boycott by Hags continues by Hagwire staff Boise, ID (HW) — Over one year ago, the Highway Hags began a boycott, deciding not to wash their company truck until certain demands are met. As the resulting stalemate continues, industry i...
We never learn
I just listened to the audiobook “Charlatan” by Pope Brock. It’s a non-fiction book which I picked up on the cheap for $4.95 at Audible about a year ago. I just now got around to listening to it. “Charlatan” tells of the...
Use the belt, stupid
For the non-drivers out there, in the bunks of the cabs of semis are protective restraints for whomever might be trying to sleep in the bunk while another person is driving. It’s a big net-like thing that tents over the bed then connects to the...
Me a survivor, or not
The last few weeks I’ve been reading a number of books by Canadian author S. M. Stirling. I have finished the Nantucket trilogy and have now started on its companion series which is called Emberverse, whatever the hell that means. Emberverse? W...
A relationship with food
As I’ve said before, I’m not crazy about the phrase, “I need to change my relationship with food.” No surprise, since I generally dislike all pop-psych-inspired catchy lines. But that’s a different problem altogether. Th...
Clever dog
Ran across this great article from Time that I thought some of you dog lovers might enjoy. It’s The Secrets Inside Your Dog’s Mind. It doesn’t actually tell you what your dog is secretly thinking, which in my opinion is just as well...
Comeuppance? Not so much
I arrived home last week in something of a bad mood. There’d been an excessive amount of boobery involved in getting us home, and I knew that once I got there I wouldn’t have a television to watch. We’ve got too many trees around ou...
Going home too soon
So, we’re supposed to be going home in the next few days. You know what that means — the weigh in. I am most definitely not looking forward to it. While I’ve been pretty good at holding down the carbs because of the damnable diabete...
Picture imperfect
Overheard in the truck Hedon is sitting in the driver’s seat, working on her logbook. Stace is in the bunk, reading. Hedon: Oh my god! That was nearly a catastrophe! Stace: What? Hedon: I thought I’d messed up my logbook. Stupid watch! St...
Time for the atheist
We’ve been writing on this blog for over a year, and I have yet to discuss much about being an atheist, other than saying I am one. There have been multiple times when I started posts about it, such as after I finished reading Richard Dawkin...
Today’s your day, peon
So, it’s Labor Day. I actually have the day off, which is odd. Anyway, what’s there to say about Labor Day? I don’t know much about this holiday. I assume it is a celebration day for all us worker peons out here. Labor Day, being in...
Slave drivers
Gads, TWMNBN must be seriously going on a rampage of rate-undercutting to have drummed up so much excess freight in the last month or so. They are killing us! And that’s why we haven’t been blogging of late. It was so bad the other day, a...
Five more weeks
Another five weeks have passed. Of course, the first thing we did when we got home was check our weights. I lost another 8 pounds, which brings me up to 33 total pounds lost. And Hedon has now lost 28 pounds total. We are satisfied. Also, while I was...
Something I don’t do
I did something tonight that I usually don’t do — I emailed both my state senators and my U.S. congressman. About health care … President Obama’s health care plan. Here’s the thing. I’ve been reading, with increasi...
Top 10 cheat list
I’ve been on this diet for three extremely long months now, and it has begun to wear me down. I’m fairly resigned to the carb-counting because of the diabetes; it’s the calorie-counting that is annoying me. I haven’t been, thi...
And yet another miracle
Today was the big day. DOT physical time. Three months of stress all coming down on this big day. I passed! Got a one year certification. I never thought I’d be so happy to get a one year cert. I never thought I’d be so happy to keep my j...
Already here
I finished listening to Aldus Huxley’s “Brave New World” today. You may be thinking to yourself, “Didn’t you read that back in high school?” Nope, not me. I went to high school in a place where a book like this cou...
Sell this
I think I’ve mentioned somewhere on here before that I like billboards. Sure, sometimes they’re just boring ads for insurance salesman, but even then, you can check out the salesman’s picture and decide if he/she has a trustworthy f...
Some days, the heart’s not in it
Stace and Hedon have stupidly allowed themselves to be trapped at a company terminal. Because they were unprepared to be trapped, they have limited choices of food available to them until tomorrow afternoon. Hedon: I checked in the lounge. DominoR...
And 13 more makes 25
I realized as I went to write this post that, once again, I didn’t write anything while at home. There is a simple reason for this: at home we have a dial-up connection. And it’s not even decent dial-up. I’m convinced that the local...
I sing freedom’s song – God help me
Written by: Stace Where we are: Beebe, AR Current Boobery Status: Medium Another holiday, another holiday post. Just doing my part, people. Since it’s the 4th of July, you’d think the “Star Spangled Banner” w...
And Michael makes three
Written by: Stace Where we are: Nashville, TN Current Boobery Status: Fair to middlin’ First, Ed McMahon died on Tuesday. Second, Farrah Fawcett died Thursday morning. Then third, Michael Jackson died Thursday afternoon. Three...
