Now, if you read my blog you probably remember the little trip to Gary, Indiana thanks to hubby and his Tom-Tom. If you found that entertaining, you'll love this.
Finally the navigation system was ready, but it was telling us a very strange way to go - not at all in line with the directions that I obtained. So, I called the convention center and they confirmed that my directions were correct. So, I turned off his little Tom-Tom and told him that he could use it on the way home.
We survived 3 1/2 hours of cheerleading fun and got back on the road again. Since we made it to the convention center on fumes, we stopped to get gas before venturing out. I with my trusty directions and hubby with his Tom-Tom. Rather than wait for Tom-Tom to obtain it's satellites, we jumped back on the expressway. Apparently the woman (annoying as she may be) who lives inside the Tom-Tom was quite irritated with us as we were barely on the on-ramp and she started fussing about having to "recalculate". For whatever reason, she kept telling us to get off at the "next exit". This went on for miles.
I was laughing hysterically as that annoying voice kept telling us to turn and then announcing that she was recalculating. At that point we realized that we were not driving on a road (per the Tom-Tom) we must have been in a black abyss. Of course, I was so out of control laughing and making sarcastic comments that I was just as annoying as the Tom-Tom chick. Then it told us to turn (again) and we ignored her (again) and I made a smart-alec comment and a second later it shut off.

So, apparently the Tom-Tom didn't recognize the highway we were on and she was so ticked off at our ignoring her and my comments that she decided we deserved to be lost and on our own.
Of course, this only sent me off into a delirious trip of giggles. (yes, I'm pathetic)
Tomorrow...photos and a video from my super cheerleader. Tonight - I'm pooped! 7 hours on the road and watching super happy cheerleaders has made this mama one sleepy gal.

Thank you so much Suzann. I'm new to this and appreciate so much your kind comments. I have a Flickr page too if you want to see some of my flower photos. It is linked from my blog. I'll check in on your blog too.

PS We have the same taste in books.
Hilarous! My mom uses her GPS on her phone and that lady that talks is so funny... when the two of us are in the car, we confuse her too much and she does that recalculating bit and we laugh...and laugh...like teenagers! Thanks for sharing, I needed a smile!
What is the point of the darn GPS? Is it confused? Had too much to drink? Oh my.
Can't wait to see the pics. I still have some to upload from last weekend. Too tired now, need coffee.
Guess what? I am the only person home in my house right now. The only sound is the hum of my computer. I think I am in heaven...
This is awesome! I love the blog! the song came on so fast and my volume was full blast, I almost fell out of my chair! :)
Your right, there is always hope! Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
