voice recording at it’s finest

I am not always on top of the little things in life. Like, paying bills, mowing the lawn, or putting gas in my car. A couple days back I had to steal Kristin’s jeep because it has a bit more space than my little golf cart (scion xa). I was helping my brother Justin move into their sweet new condo.

Anyway, Kristin took Olivia for a few hours but they found themselves out of gas stranded in the middle of a Walgreen’s parking lot. Luckily a few friendly folks pushed them into a spot where they decided to play pretend till the cavalry showed up with some unleaded. I’m a huge fan of voice recorders lately. I have 3 and leave them all over so I can record a little audio journal about experiences/ideas/prayers/revelations/etc. Well, Kristin saw the voice recorder in my car and decided to leave us a message. It was too cute to not post for you.

Now, I told her I was going to take a vote on who should be responsible for this mishap…but the truth is, she only drove like 3 miles and I guess I did leave a fat bag of m&ms on the dash covering the gas gauge. I’ll take the blame for this one :)

Listen to the voice message: HERE

PS- on a side note, a voice recorder (one that has a USB port so you can dump the files to your computer) is a really incredible journal tool. I keep one in my car so as I listen to audio books I can take notes without risking my life and typing the thoughts on my blackberry while driving :)

    You’re right, that is adorable! I love that Kristin made such an adventure of it for herself and Olivia. Better than getting mad. (She sounds like a keeper!)

    I also agree, voice recorders are great! My old phone had one you could get to in two clicks… my new phone you could drive off the road getting to the recorder. But I do have 2 usb recorders and always have extra rechargables with them!

    Ew. Gross and mushy. :)

    But your lady has a very nice speaking voice. You should have her do AOH voice over work… but you probably already do and I just didn’t pick up on it.
