"Twas the day afer New Year's..

...and all through the house..

We're starting to play with the Toys of Christmas..you know..the Origami pack..the new books..the...Garmin..

Yeeeah..have you programmed one? Mr. B was setting it up and said it would take about 2 hours to upload the updated maps..


So two four hours later..it still hadn't updated..

Mr. B went to bed..

I tried. I couldn't. It was still hooked up to my laptop..and I hadn't blogged yet.

Five hours..checking..I'm checking..I'm patiently waiting...and waiting..becoming less patient.

Now remember, I'm not a techie. What's the opposite of techie?

an Un-techie.

That's sort of an understatement. I had to write out the directions to be able to use the DVD player..and there's always the black tape over the flashing 12:00 on the old video player.

But even with my stupidity technology-challenged knowledge, I figured something was not right.

Upon bleary-eyed closer inspection, I was lucky enough confidently found the re-start feature and realized we needed to have clicked on an additional link..

So I did and finally, it was on it's way...and about 7:30 this morning (a full 10 1/2 hours later) the "2 hours" of uploading began.

Oh, let the fun begin..

It's working..and Mr. B, who's now fully rested and refreshed...&*^#*&! says me..wants to "try it out..wanna come??"

"No. Noooo. I want to sleep."

He programmed in ..."Wal-Mart"..{ the one he goes to at least 2 times a week } and whadda know..it guides him safely..and without getting lost.

If he wanted someone with a girly voice to tell him where to go this morning, I could have..

After all, I've read the manual...

..and got my license..

So when we go out later, he had not one, but 2 women telling him directions..and they we don't always agree.

Now he has 2 women telling him where to go and I find I am arguing with ..her..

Oh well...

maybe I'll get some sleep tonight..

..hopefully, Ms. Garmin will too...
