Birthday Wishes

I googled "being lost" to find some pics and this is one thing that came up....I just couldn't resist using it.
As a rep, I go lots of places that I've never been to before. This caused me to get lost ALL THE TIME! I have made more u-turns in the past week than most people make in a year. Originally, when I first mentioned to my family that I should maybe get a GPS system she said, "People have gotten so crazy with technology, there's no need for something like that if you just use mapquest in advance." And at first, I agreed. That is until, you make a wrong turn and then those directions don't help you out much... you just stay lost. For a while, I would jokingly call my mom my GPS system, because I would call home and get her to hop on mapquest for me so that I could get back on track. She thought this was funny and a great plan, that is until my fiftieth call. It just wasn't working.


Luckily, my family wised up and I got GPS for my birthday... horray! I absolutely love it, I selected the male Australian voice and I call him Outback Jack. So far Outback Jack hasn't steered me wrong, but we'll see its still early in the relationship. He's a tad bossy though, watch it Jack.


I also, got more flowy pants (if you know me, you know how often I wear flowy pants), an awesome fair trade necklace, a pair of reefs, a vegetarian cookbook, and a cute little purse. Life is good!

Oh, yeah, love my GPS. Gotta have one if you're constantly driving to strange new places. I use the British male voice (forget his name), but I call him Nigel. He rarely leads me wrong.

I think I've seen someone on Ravelry use that cat photo as their profile picture. A classic! :-)

We love our GPS. We named her after St. Christopher (my Methodist husband's idea.) Her name is Christopher Ann and we call her Chrissy.

Happy Birthday--although a bit late.. Driving with lots of u-turns?? I call that boucle driving, a friend and I invented it coming home from Marylad Sheep and Wool one year. Who knew-make one wrong turn and a whole new world opens to you... Anyway I have been perfecting it, and now call myself an "expert"!! Enjoy Jack and the boucle!
