I’m taking several days off for Christmas, packing up the SUV and heading north to all points Christmas at my parents’ house.
I’d rather their house be on my side of the border, but I’ll take what I get and enjoy the fact that I have folks to visit whenever I feel like driving 100 miles.
Hopefully at some point during my now-traditional mini-Christmas vacation I will catch up on my blogging. So many things have happened, and not happened this year.
I still plan on a blog listing the things I noticed about my trip to Indiana – like how toilet seat covers are not standard in public places outside of Seattle.
I even want to delve into the way I have increased my friendship circle this year – a 140-character thing called Twitter (follow me @carrierae). It’s crazy to think that I talk more to people I’ve never met than I talk to people I know here locally. That’s an even scarier thought – where did I go wrong in so many friendships? I’m the common denominator right? Am I just a really lousy judge of character? Or is it truly that some people are in our lives only for seasons and I’m in a place of transition?
If I’m in a place of transition, what is next?
