Remember that little chat Hubby and I had last month regarding the possibility of purchasing a GPS for my birthday. Well, we put that idea on hold for a while so we can put that money toward shipping one of the two smaller children off to Mother’s Day Out in the fall. That means I will have TWO children gone twice a week. Oh, my what’s a mother to do.
So for the time being I will stick to my routine of Googling an address and simplifying it into post-it-note form and sticking it to my dashboard. Hey, works for me!

Ha! My GPS is my husband–I call him and tell him to google me and tell me where the heck I am!!
this is hilarious! my version is the printed mapquest directions sitting in the passenger seat. yours is a million times better!
reminds me of the episode of “the office” where michael scott drove into the river because the gps told him to!!! LOL!
(found you through rocksinmydryer, btw) :)
I cracked up when I saw your post-its! That’s great though and it sure beats printing out maps everytime. That gets to be a waste. Like forgetfulone, I’ve also found our GPS to be a bit annoying at times.
Too funny!
I am directionally challenged so my husband bought me a TomTom. Love it, love it, love it. I can go anywhere and find anything with it. I have never found it to be wrong. Sometimes the routes are a little strange but it always gets me where I want to be. So, don’t give up on your GPS just yet.
I borrowed my sister’s GPS once. I got totally lost.
I like your sticky note idea!
That’s hilarious! Actually, it’s a good idea- much better than my way of writing the directions on the back of some scrap of paper that I *know* I had here somewhere…Cool!
We had a GPS that we got from my in-laws and found it to be annoying, not user friendly, distracting, and half the time, wrong. I like sticky notes better!
