Nothing Better Than a Truck Stop!


My son Dan reminded me of a funny story a few weeks ago, since it’s another night of me waking up for my 2:00 am feeding.  I thought I would write instead of raid the refrigerator.  

No matter how old I get, I am always going to love men.  When you have worked in an office or salon with all women you know what I mean.   Men just make me feel better about myself.  Most men, if you ask what size their wives wear they would say small.  They just don’t see the imperfections that we see in ourselves. 

There are certain places you can go and get a jolt of testosterone whether you need it or not.  For instance, any auto parts store, Fleet Farm the Thursday before deer hunting season and then my personal favorite truck stops.

About five years ago Rich and I had been married for only a few months and we were heading south to visit his family.  We left in a hurry, so I was still dressed for work.  I happened to have a great new pair of boots on and a flowing skirt.  I also remember wearing a striking pearl necklace too.  It was one of those days; I was actually thinking, I looked pretty hot for an old chick (that was before I turned 50, I might add).

We stopped at Rich’s favorite truck stop about 3 hours into our trip.  He was fueling up the car and I ran into the ladies room and then decided I would pick up a few treats for the road.  I was standing in line to pay for my items and I noticed a man looking at me with a smile, I thought to myself, "I am going to wear these boots more often".  Then another man came up from behind me and touched me on my arm, he leaned in close to whisper something.  My mind was racing, “oh here I go again, I will have to disappoint this man and tell him I am married, wow I am hot!”.   “Miss” the tall dark stranger, whispered in a deep voice, “ your skirt is tucked into your underwear”!
