Molly and I went to prom today. Oh yes we did. In a black stretch limo stocked with soda, spirits and 100 calorie pack oreos.
On the way to the Library Hotel we had the driver assure us that no one could see into the limo and then we proceeded to point at everyone and wonder where they were going and who they were meeting. Oh, yea I must confess then I also tried to find Molly a boyfriend — picking from the drivers in the cars driving next to us or the workmen on the street. I really am too kind, I know.
The driver (poor guy to have to put up with us!) put on 103.5 KTU and Molly and I sang along to the songs which were clearly late 80s/early 90s. We had no shame and at least on my part… no voice to be singing outloud.
After our meeting, we got back into a different stretch limo, this one wasn’t as cool. In fact it made us car sick. Got back to the office and Elizabeth probably worried quietly that we were going to be sick on the conference table she was sitting at.

Laura was out sick on Wednesday (she claims I allowed her to get food poisioning from Tuesday’s Chinatown lunch but we ate the same food from the same serving dish so I think Laura got sick from something else. Seriously.) so Molly and I commited a crime.
Molly and I went through the music Laura had on her laptop for new songs to listen to as we worked. There was quite a bit of Disney on there. Skip. Jack Johnson. Skip. And after Molly told me secrets about John Mayer I can no longer listen to him. He has three what?!?! Skip.
We ended up listening to Soul Decision and Five on repeat and occasionally played a Beatles song since Elizabeth is a big fan of jazz and classic rock. (The chances of Jazz being played in my office are about as good as the chances that I will marry Tom Cruise instead of Katie Holmes.) And for some reason Jason Mraz played a bit too many times. Laura has quite a few non radio friendly songs in her playlist which surprised me because I’m used to radio edits. So in the middle of singing along to some of the songs I would look up because I would unexpectedly hear the real version of a song.
The point of this post? To let it be known to the world that Laura has some pretty crappy music. Upon her return on Thursday, she started buying some iTunes because her other tunes weren’t really cutting it and she knew it. So there!!

Several years ago, my friend’s Acura (yes, I said Acura… do they even make them anymore?!) had GPS factory installed in it and I thought it was pretty cool when we had to take a trip to the mall or the diner for chocolate chip pancakes. Although it was annoying when we missed a turn and it would keep talking and talking.
But since I now prefer driving to flying anyday (no matter how many hours the trip will be)…and yes I know that’s hilarious considering I fly every week… I have become pretty good friends with my portable GPS system when I travel to places I am too lazy to print out MapQuest directions for. Now I even ask for the shortest route to my grandmother’s house. It’s so funny because I pretty much know all the routes to get to her house so I’m bored enough to start testing the GPS… Ahhh, yes, not enough going on in my life.
I really do love my Magellan RoadMate though. After having one I don’t know why anyone would not buy one to use during the summer. Especially with all the family road trips being planned …
