ReplyDeleteCute! I like how you personified your car's computer and your phone to show how much their demands really do take hold of our lives (for better and for worse!) like (or even more than) real people! Welcome to slicing! It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome, Jennifer M. A little nervous to get started, but how exciting to join this community experience!
DeleteThat's awesome--few words with such powerful meaning. Welcome to Slice of Life, Jackie. I love the way you capture what it means to be driven by your car. I love the way you snap out of a computer driven moment to a Jackie driven moment. Don't feel pressured--just enjoy the ride. LOL!
