I got lost tonight. Spent 45 minutes driving to get to someplace about ten minutes from my home. I think for a while there I was on Mrs. Todd's Shortcut, only the longcut version. I went to a party that JJ (jumper) was throwing. It was a jewelry party. I have gotten a whole freaking lot of jewelry lately; it's been a lot of fun! But the getting lost thing... I have such mad skills. I have like dyslexia but with places. I have a vague and fuzzy picture in my mind of where I am and where I want to go, and in between the two there is a vaguer and fuzzier darkness.
I wish there was a vitamin I could take to make me smarter at this type of thing.
I feel soooo bad!!!! I'm like that too. I'm okay if I have specific directions but if I get turned around, it's over! I hope you had an okay time besides the getting lost part.
ReplyDeletewow... it's like the internet and cell phones don't exist! LOL
ReplyDeleteleave it to whackly to rub a little salt in there for ya. lol. wish i had something encouraging to say but really, i just don't understand getting lost. i have tried. and i can't do it. i would love to, really, maybe i'm not applying myself.
ReplyDeleteoh i am terrible too. i went for a jog to a place and got lost while coming back - seriously lost, ended up at the other side of the town and had to ask someone to come and pick me up (i called from a macdonalds - never been happier to see the macs). i think i am still scarred after that experience. and i did not carry any cash or mobile with me because i was just going for a jog. you really cannot get worse than that.
ReplyDeletethe lesson to take home was - roads that seem like going straight actually wind quite a bit.
Apparently, I must elaborate for whackly McSniderson's benefit... I had directions, I had a cell phone. The people I called very politely had their cell phones turned off for the presentation.
ReplyDeleteHey, jumper it was a good party! I had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteme too!!! Thanks for coming. You know I'm not really a 'host a party' type o' girl so it was a little painful but not nearly as much as I anticipated. I'm sooooo excited for the jewelry though. I want my ring!!!! I wish they'd just ship the shit already. I'll ask Karla when I talk to her tonight or tomorrow - finalize etc...
ReplyDeleteand, no the ring isn't for the big M - just for me cause I like it!! I might use it for that though. My kids keep telling me L. bought me a ring and it's supposed to be a secret. Gotta love 'em (despite the comments on my blog)
