So I was re-uniting with some old friends from my High School home-school group (yes, ladies ad gentlemen, I was home schooled from 4th grade clear through High School and I still have human friends!), and we started sharing Getting Lost Horror Stories. Mrs. English (our Literary Circle teacher and Honorary Mom To the World) goes out to her car, comes in with this little GPS system, hands it to me and says, “You are going to have fun with this.”
I protested, “You’re not giving this to me!”
In the end, yes she was.
And I have a new best friend. Let me tell you , this thing is fantastic. If you were born with a natural sense of direction, good for you. I was not. I can barely tell up from down on a see-saw. It’s a sad, sad sight to see me wander around trying to find where I parked our silver Corolla. That’s why I put a fuzzy purple penguin in the rear window.
With Maggie (sorry, we gave her a name), I can be much more adventurous in my driving. Like, I could actually stray a teeny bit from my google maps course, and not still be trying to find my way home at one o’clock in the morning. It’s also a huge stress relief for getting to and from photo shoots. Rest assured, I always get to my shoots and I am a very punctual person. I HAVE, however, gotten lost on my way home from photo shoots! Now I have Maggie.
Mike is jealous of Maggie. But her awesomeness makes his slight inferiority complex okay I think.
THANK-YOU Mrs. English!
