WHICH WAY?

Me & shopping… perfect! Me & coffee… ideal! Me & travelling, airports, airplanes, boats … wow! Me & books… magnets! ME & MAPS … DISASTER!
I dunno about you reading this article but I always seem to have a knack for maps upside down. Or is it my hubby driving the wrong way? I love exploring new places and discovering how to get from point A to point B the quickest possible route without any GPS. Even with a GPS it would re-route me 16 times and would simply switch its power to “drained and expired”. Sad, huh? Really, I’m talking serious geographical problems. My brain, it doesn’t respond to maps. Scan me thru an MRI and that part of my lobe would simply blackout.Non-existent. And who ever invented kilometers… miles… half a block (what is half a block? of ice?)
Hey, I’m simple and uncomplicated.
Give me a map of a shopping mall and I’ll add up secret alley ways to get you to Bloomingdale’s. Now to go south of the airport and have me turn left 2 miles then blah, blah, blah! “OFF.” My mind is wandering by then… “Is there sale going on at my favorite apothecary? Should I get the matching burgundy pillow covers for the guest room?”
After so many years with my hubby, I still insist that had he driven slower and taken the last right then I would spot us in the map!!! And he never gives me enough time to analyze which map I should actually stare at! Hmmmpph!
Now, which one is the “SEND” button here?
