The Power of Cell Phones

Verizon has this awesome program called Chaperone that I just downloaded to our phones. With this I can see exactly where Meagan is at any time with the mere push of a button! I can also set up "zones" and I get a text message whenever she enters or leaves a zone. (I am SOOO glad my parents didnt' have access to these tools when I was a teenager!!)

So yesterday, Meagan wanted to go to her Gram's house and pick up her belongings that she was going to store there, but since they have parted ways (another blog), she wanted her things back. Lucky me gets to store them in the attic now when she eventually leaves for the Navy! Anyway, after she left Gram's, I'd asked her to go to Rockville to pick up the crate for this lovely dog we have. (Yet another blog topic!!) Of course, she got lost, called me crying hysterically saying she thought she was in Bowie and didn't know what to do. I told her to go to a gas station, show them my directions, and get on the way. She called shortly thereafter, calm, and said she knew where she was and she could actually see her exit! Another hour later, I checked her location - and she was nearing the 695 interchange in BALTIMORE!!! And, I could see from my savvy little program that she was traveling at 70mph!!! haha, so I called and told her to turn around and SLOW DOWN! Eventually, she found her way and got back, after sitting in a couple hours of traffic. What a ding-a-ling!
