Losing Faith in a Trusted Friend

Dear Jack,

We've had a good a run.  I found your voice quite sexy.  I enjoyed the accent.  Such a nice change from that American woman whose voice went all digital every time she said "north."  But now you've lost my trust.  That's right, I don't trust you.  Worse, I question your skills of discernment and differentiation.  Let me illustrate.  I went from this:
to this:
Do you see the problem here, Jack?  Not only that, but I was driving along when you suddenly told me to turn here:
I really wanted to, I love the foliage but, as you can see, the road you indicated is lacking.  You recalculated and told me to turn on a second road.  I saw a hint of it, but it didn't look well traveled.  You can't expect me to be Robert Frost.  Not right then.  I was late and lost.  I let my guard down and that's when I trusted you. 

Thank you for the scenic route. I was already enjoying the scenery.

Fortunately, I've grown accustomed to your presence. Your companionship makes me feel big, powerful and all-seeing.

Next time, let's stick to paved roads, thank you very much.

  6. Oh no!!! You got some gorgeous scenery there, but I'm sorry about the misdirection!

    I was driving my mom batty on our trip to Colorado - trusting my laptop and WiFi more than the silly little GPS in the rental car.

    Guess who was right? :)

  7. I've never used GPS in my life! It sort of scares me.

  8. Until I glanced at Kristina's comment, I thought I was the only person on the planet who doesn't use GPS

  10. Just got back from California and used our GPS constantly. We name her Lulu and she has never steered us wrong excpet when we were in San Francisco and she lost satellite coverage. Sometimes we doubt her, but she is always right.

Braces!

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
