Holidays or not, going to the mall can make you dizzy! Add in holiday decorations, tons of people, blaring holiday music--all that can make a brain very tired. So when it's time to go home and you exit hopefully through the same door you used to enter the mall, it may take you a moment to think about where you parked your car.Not any more! Because my holiday tip is:
Use the camera on your cell phone to take a picture of where you parked your car. No more wandering around the parking lot in a panic. (Whew!)
I do this even when it's NOT holiday time. To the left is a picture of my car at the Paramus Park Mall. I only had to run in and out of one store but I snapped the photo just in case.
When you take the photo make sure to have a 'landmark' in the background such as a store or a parking lot sign. If you look at the picture look closely, you'll notice that I'm in Section 26 parked near the Sears Auto Center.
Now you have one less thing to worry about this holiday season! Less stress for you and more time for the joy of the season. Who can't appreciate that?
A woman told me that one time, long before we had smart phones and digital cameras, she had to leave her car overnight and come back when the stores were closed because she couldn't remember where she'd parked! What a great idea, Stacey!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janet! I used to have a big red car which was easy to spot but since I've gone to dark gray, I feel like I need to either take a picture of where I've parked or tie a big balloon to my windshield wiper!
