On The Road Again

Welcome to a Secret Subject Swap. This week 10 brave bloggers picked a secret subject for someone else and were assigned a secret subject to interpret in their own style. Today we are all simultaneously divulging our topics and submitting our posts. 

Your “Secret Subject” is:

Are you a traveler or more of stay close to home person?

It was submitted by: http://www.southernbellecharm.com

Those who know me, know I am a traveler! I love to travel and in my former job, I was able to do just that, travel. Everyday, all over the state and sometimes out of state. Best part, it was on someone else's dime! Yes, as a private driver I was able to see places I may not have been to otherwise, discover hidden treasures of small towns and the excitement of large cities all while being paid. It was by far the best gig ever, second to being a wife/mom.

On any given Saturday you can find me behind the wheel tooling down the road. Where to you ask? Anywhere. It is common for me to get up, get in the car and just go. Oh I'll have a general direction in mind but not always a set place. Sight seeing, driving along country roads, stopping at road side markets, buying souvenirs, trinkets and handmade items. All the while taking a ton of photos. If you are a friend of mine, you've seen your share of my wanderings, photos and well more photos! I'm a shutter bug.

Now with that being said, if it is cold, rainy or nasty I quickly become a couch potato. Perfectly content to curl up on the couch, blanket, coffee, a good book or movie and my kitties. We will hibernate here all weekend and not feel the least bit guilty about it.

So, am I am traveler or a stay at home person? Well, I'm both. I'm multifaceted and proud of it.

My friends all joke that my theme song is "On The Road Again" by Willie Nelson because I am...always on the road. No better place to be, except on the water but that's a different post entirely.

Here are links to all the sites now featuring Secret Subject Swap posts.  Sit back, grab a cup, and check them all out. See you there:

A hot tip...

I drive for a living in the customer service industry...we have some VERY interesting folks. sometimes they border on "ready for a padded room" and sometimes they are VERY wealthy, powerful business men and women.

This particular day, it was...well let's say odd.

We had reached the destination and he paid his fare. He reached in his pocket and drew out several small odd items.

Yep, that's it. My tip. He said with a sly smile and looking around to see if anyone was around, "you know these bottle caps are worth money"
I almost laughed, but saw the seriousness in his weathered face.
Wow...okay.
"Well sir, I can't accept drugs".
"Oh that thar ain't no drug, it's power pills. If ya take'em it will give you clarity of the future and make ya smarter."
Oh my...
"well, thank you. And the rock? Is it special?"I asked him not sure what he would say and honestly not expecting what I got.
"That thar ain't no rock, that's a piece of the planet that the aliens took me to. We ain't the only ones ya know. They are watching us, waiting for the right time to take over."

He looked around, quickly got out of the car and disappeared into the bushes by the building.
WOW, now that was one strange bird as my Granddaddy would have said.

An alien rock, intelligent pills and money caps...yeah that was my hot tip for the day! LOL
FYI I smelled the pills and I'm pretty sure they were garlic, but either way it all went in the trash. So if anyone finds these items and tries them. You're welcome.
