I am a pilot...I would prefer it to say turn west or east, not left or right. I find that confusing! I have a left and an other left!

It's great tho! I am going to have fun with this! Sure beats mapquest all to pieces! Hard to read and drive at the same time!

It's a TomTom XL-S. I havent used it to go anywhere yet, I did do a couple of demos of what it would be like to use it while driving. (it'll do a fast forward version of your trip to show you what the route is)

I had it "take" me to my boyfriend's house (I've never driven to his house myself before. I might try it sometime when the weather is good and I can get there and back before dark...bad night vision from the ON)

I also had it "take" me to the houses that I grew up in. Just because those were addresses I could remember.

I want to get a case or something to keep it in, because I get the dropsies (gravity is apparently stronger around me) and I dont want it to fall. I do have a window suction cup thingie for it, but my boyfriend's GPS falls off his window all the time, and I'm worried it'll do that in my car too. I'm going to see if I can get a clippie thingie (I'm so technical, arent I?) and hopefully can clip it to the dashboard on the air vents or something.


I also got a little tablet and stylus to use with my computers. (I've been doodling with it in the Paint program on my computer for hours)

One of my presents hasnt arrived yet. (Amazon backordered it) It's a Sony Reader (kinda like a PDA) to read books and other text-y type stuff. (I read fanfiction on the internet, I put stories into Word and upload them to my PDA sometimes. I'll be able to do the same with the Reader)

I also got a Webkinz chihuahua, and a knitting book. My sister gave me the book. I was surprised. She never gives me presents...and when she does, she never gives me COOL presents.


Finally, she's figured out something I'd like! (just learned to knit last year, been crocheting for over 30yrs tho)

Now I'm glad that I crocheted her that really nice shawl I made last week...and that I sent her kids some Webkinz (a chocolate lab and a black lab)

I think I'll go see what kinds of cool knitting stuff I can do with this book.
