green pokey

so for maybe the second time in a year and a half we used the gps on my phone.  this time to navigate around flagstaff.

that thing is a miracle.  it helped us easily find every place we wanted to stop at.  before getting on the road to head home we decided ice cream was in order.  i typed in ice cream flagstaff az, and it pulled up all of the places that served the sweet stuff in a ten mile radius.  we opted for dairy queen. 

since i was an expert at reading off directions that this amazing thing told us all day, i figured this time would be just as simple as all the others.  wrong.  i think i was in my own little world and exhausted from a day of shopping because i sent us on a wild goose chase for about 15 minutes. 

the map looked a little something like this and our conversation went a little bit like this...

s---ok...follow this road for 2.1 miles and turn left on this road.

w---what is next. 

s---umm according to the map this flashing blue dot is saying we are a little off track.  turn around.

w---(turns around) ok well which road do i need to turn on.

s---i'm not sure.  the directions aren't so clear.  hold on.

s---nevermind we are back on track according to the blue dot.  keep going. 

w---(looking at me like he's a little confused) which street do i need to turn on. 

s---wait we are off track again.  maybe you should pull over and take a look at this. 

w---(pulls over and looks at the phone)

s---we need to be where this green pokey is.  see it.

w--- green pokey???.....oh i love you.  you are funny.

w---(starts driving again) 

s---(looking at the phone with a puzzled expression)

w---according to your phone it should be right here on this corner.  they must have closed down or something. 

s and w----(completely bummed)

after another minute of driving and choosing a different place to get ice cream it suddenly makes sense. 

s---wait a minute.  green means go.  red means stop.  i was wrong, we aren't supposed to be at the green pokey.  we should be at the red pokey. 

w---(laughing) oh love bug.

we finally got on track and enjoyed a delicious treat from dairy queen. 

this magic tool didn't fail us all day.  for some reason i got the green and red pokeys mixed up on this last stop.  don't judge me.....i was tired.

oh and while on this trip i may have discovered and purchased the cutest shirt on the planet...

my owl obsession is out of control....or if you ask my 5 year old cousin mia...."skye is infected with owls"  

she sometimes gets the word infected and obsessed mixed up which is so cute.

as will said yesterday when i found this shirt...."owl be damned."

i cracked up.   

one more thing.....just because i can't seem to end this post i'm going to add a preview picture of some art i've been working on.  i should be mean and not show this on here and make brandi wait to see it but i can't wait.  i still have a couple tiny things to finish on it.  this is for my lovely friend brandi.  she went with a scottie dog theme for their nursery.  she is going to wait to see if this baby is a boy or a girl.  i think she just wanted to torture me and the billion other people who are curious to know about this bundle of joy.  at least the wait will be over soon.  i tried to go as gender neutral as possible. enjoy....
