You know you aren't blogging enough when it takes you about a dozen tries to come up with your password. Sorry few readers I have left for being such a disengaged blogger. Here are some random thoughts on this Friday evening.
I am hanging out in a coffee shop, waiting for a friend to either get home or call me back. (Note to Tina: turn on your phone!) I am also typing this entirely on my lovely new smart phone. I finally replaced the HTC Incredible that was stolen along with my purse last month. I love it. Anyway, please excuse any typos. This post is brought to you by the fact I forgot a book today.
I have found myself listening to the Christmas stations a lot this season. Some years they drive me crazy. This year I happily sing along on my commutes. My current favorite? Andy Williams' "Happy Holidays." Are you a lover of carols or a grinch?
What else is going on in my little world? Frank has entered his winter mode. He alternates between cuddles and fisticuffs. I got my year end review (in draft form) from my boss today. So far, so good, except that I interrupt people. A long-standing personal problem. I think this will be my personal goal for 2011. Shut up and let other people talk. Sad thing is I've been holding back.
Okay, so this has been a post of nothing. I hope you all have lovely weekends. Mine is pretty full. If it would only start.
P.S. I can't figure out how to put in hard stops or paragraphs. I apologize for the brick of nothing text. If you stuck around, thanks. Also, say hi in the comments. I miss my readers.
Just thought I would tell you that you are awesome. That's the first random thought that popped in my head while reading your post. Have fun with the new phone! :-)

Hello lovely Claire! I still love your posts, even if they are less frequent.I hope your weekend has now started in earnest. I'm on school holidays and, after a very difficult year, am looking forward to weeks and weeks of nothing! Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and a fabulous 2011! xxx

Hey Claire! Blue Girl here. Long time reader and fan of yours. :)
Didn't mind your big chunk of nothing text at all. Actually enjoyed it! Hope you ended up having a great weekend.
I'm finally in Columbus permanently! Yay! Maybe we can get together for some eggnog between Christmas and the New Year.
Cheers, Clairabelle! xoxo

Hi Claire! I am trying to master my smart phone, but so far, it's smarter than I am.
I love Christmas songs... new, old, it doesn't matter. For some reason though, I'm not listening to many this year... not sure why.
I can't believe it's already the 20th. I'm feeling a week or two behind... of course my smart phone is not. :-P

HI Claire,
I read you every week after I read postsecret - as one would relax with the Sunday newspaper! And then I report back anything interesting to the family. Always and forever, Elaine
