So on Saturday, we headed to William Paterson University. My niece had a dance recital there, and my sister and her son drove with us so we popped in her Magellan. I always get lost going places (especially in NJ) but I was still hesitant about the GPS because I have trouble understanding how it works. For example, if I am on the right road and going in the right direction, I don't see why the machine tells me to stay on the road. It threw me off so I kept making wrong turns and she kept going, "Calculating route" to help my stupid ass get back on track. Needless to say, I was cursing that machine the whole time we were driving. My sister brought an iguana puppet for my nephew so she was using it to tell my nephew that I didn't know what I was doing so naturally I tried to smother the iguana puppet. Finally, we did get there.
The next night was my graduation ceremony. It was just my sisters and my mother so it was just like old times. We stopped at a diner for dessert and my mother and sisters gave me my presents. My sisters presents were very thoughtful and one of their card's made me cry. My mom kept saying I was going to hate her present and I asked her how did she know that, and she just kept saying I could return it if I wanted. So finally I unwrap it and what is it?
A GPS.
I loved it.

My mom has a GPS and made me take it when I went to my jr high BFF's house (4.4 miles away). It took me nearly the entire drive to realize that the GPS part was TURNED OFF. Like, it calculated my route but would not show me where I was going. ARGH! Then the unit I had in Miami was a POS. My copilot had to wait and wait and wait to see where we were going, then would yell at the last minute, "No! Left! Get over!" STRESSFUL!
Enjoy the gift! :)
LOL!! So far I do like it. Only thing is, I live in the "Construction State," so I need to subscribe to Traffic Alerts.
