It's cool technology, but as my wife (who sounds just like you) says, honey, we have a map, it works without electricity, and is rarely wrong! Technology 0 - My Wife 1000 (and counting)! Great stuff Amy. Hey, I have one of those! It’s cool technology, but as my wife (who sounds just like you) says, honey, we have a map, it works without electricity, and is rarely wrong!

He cracked up to find out that I found them before he got home. "The amount of time you spent looking for the remotes could have been spent looking for the right button on THIS ONE REMOTE." Whatever. I don't believe him. He's just gifted with remotes. I would never introduce my family to the joys of a GPS.

My husband is nutso with the GPS too. I highly prefer the good ole paper map. In the time it takes him to turn on the GPS, acquire satellites, zoom in or out, I can read the paper map and be on our way. But when you're lost in an unfamiliar town or city, the GPS can be priceless. Cute! My husband is nutso with the GPS too. I highly prefer the good ole paper map.

This so reminds me of something that might happen in our house. My kids often remind me when I ask them to help me find something "Mommy, it's in your hand." :) I am mentioning this post in my blog for 7/31/05... stop in when you get a chance to get up off the couch! Hope you are feeling well. Had to laugh out loud! This so reminds me of something that might happen in our house.
