I hope you got to take a nap when you came home ;-) I only braved Black Friday *that* early in the morning (b/c I normally go shopping that day, but usually much later) once - and I was 37 weeks pregnant! What on earth was I thinking? I stood in line for hooooours, and I didn't even get the main thing I wanted. I think the people around me thought I was going to drop that baby out right then and there, lol!Staci Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630864160236417217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879444927890349292.post-32499567039001746352009-07-13T11:21:09.690-04:002009-07-13T11:21:09.690-04:00We have a Tomtom GPS.

Hubby got it as a perk from work, we would never have bought the evil demon. <br />She scares the crap out of use when she 'yells' TURN RIGHT 400 METERS. And she needs her maps up-dated, which apparently we can do on-line. Maybe that's what Mona needs.

It's seriously a man thing! My husband ALWAYS takes the long way around and insists it's the short cut---NOT! NO WAY! NOT a chance in hell are his ways ever short! I don't do GPS's. I do the old stone age way of thngs and I look up the directions on the computer, HAND write them on a piece of scrap paper and read them as I drive to get to where I need to go! And I always get there in the shortest time, because I make sure I have the shortest route possible!

We did almost the same thing for my FIL, only we waited till 8am to go to Wally World, and found they were all sold out, but kept asking and finally one of the sales ladies in electronics found "1", and a few minutes later found 2 more, then 3, as people asked about them. <br />I know they can sometimes be really picky, the one we had borrowed to go to the Jersey shore 2 years ago from Nazareth, PA was funny. She spoke with a british accent and her name was Emily. Emily was pretty smart cause she got us there AFTER directing us to the freeway that was jam-packed with Saturday traffic to the beach. An hour trip was supposed to take us almost 3 hours according to Emily, but we got off the freeway, and voila! Made it in just over an hour. <br />Those ladies are smarter than you think!!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272858967784736786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879444927890349292.post-37149935868623751652009-07-10T13:05:48.179-04:002009-07-10T13:05:48.179-04:00Not only do I not do Wal-Mart on a normal day... t...Not only do I not do Wal-Mart on a normal day... they couldn't pay me enough to go on the day after Thanksgiving. So, yes, you deserve the Girlfriend of the Year Award.<br /><br />One question... did you get the links taken out & when do we get to see the new watch? Please don't wait as long as I did.

The only problem I see with the GPS systems in California is that people pay more attention to them than to the posted signs. People stop in the middle of the road because they are consulting them. Dumb! I use mapquest and if Im lost we have a mapbook, and maps on our blackberrys. I dont want one and David refuses to get one. My friend actually called me one time and asked which was the better route to my house (after I had given her exact directions) because her GPS was telling her to go a different way than I did. I told her to go whatever way she wanted, but it was taking her way out of her way to get here!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879444927890349292.post-17938944546823393782009-07-10T12:32:35.345-04:002009-07-10T12:32:35.345-04:00What a fabulous story & you scored some seriou...What a fabulous story & you scored some serious Brownie Points with your selfless actions!!<br /><br />My Hubby has a GPS, it speaks with the voice of R2D2!!

Although I love her explanation of the male character and motivations, I tend to feel the way you do ... MEN!!!!!! Hahaha, still laughing, sorry. Well, if he ever really gets tired of Mona, tell him to send her to me, I have no sense of direction whatsoever. I have to think each time I go to a place I might have visited before a hundred times ... I still think, how do I start this trip, do I go left or right???? It drives my husband crazy!! He's one of those guys who never get lost, or when they do, never panick and are back on track within' 10 minutes... My lack of direction sense is so bad that when I take my son to soccer games by myself, he wants to leave extra early, just in case we might get lost. He learned this lesson at a very early age LOL, and panicks every time we get in the car without his dad. It has come to the point when my husband doesn't really know which way to go, he politely listens to the direction I would take, and then takes the other direction LOL. Hah, had him going wrong a few times using this technique though, I'm not totally useless you know haha.<br /><br />Come to think of it, I do like Kim's explanation better LOL, go with that one, you'll be walking on clouds all day!<br /><br />Love xxx PeggyPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370275628174071352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879444927890349292.post-60463529328482595282009-07-10T01:24:26.647-04:002009-07-10T01:24:26.647-04:00Lisa I love your stories- you have such a way with...Lisa I love your stories- you have such a way with words!!! But have you ever thought maybe Keith just didn't want your trip to come to an end and so he faked the whole thing and just took the " long way" home just to spend a few more hours with you??
