So I'm thinking about getting one of those bean bag thingy's to hold my Garmin in place on top of my dashboard. I was actually determined to buy one last night, but I left my check card on my dresser and didn't have enough cash on me to do that and be able to buy gas so I could drive to Smithfield and back, so I had to wait.

Then I thought about how important it is that I have one. Actually, it's really important, because right now, using my Garmin is a pain in the ass. I place it in my cup holder, with the cord wrapped around the base of the plastic piece that's supposed to mount to my windshield, and that kinda holds it in place. But if I mess up with the clutch and the car jerks, which happens more often then I want to admit it does, then the friggin thing flops over and either lands on the floorboard of the passenger side, or even worse, on my side.

Sometimes I get the feeling that my Garmin is catching an attitude with me, too. If I don't drive the highlighted path, it tells me that it's recalculating, but in a rather impatient tone. If it had a face, I bet it would be rolling its eyes at me while it tells me its recalculating.

Oh well, I guess the point of this is that I don't want to part with the forty snaps for the bean bag base, but at the same time, me and Kate are getting out of town for the rest of the week and the weekend, and I don't want the stupid thing to keep falling over. Also, since I'll be driving back and forth from Smithfeild everyday, I don't want to have to hassle with it all the time.
