This is a weak post, but I have a few things to say.
1. My sister Robyn had her sweet baby girl and I was too technically challenged to post the photos so if you're interested go to Lori's blog.
2. My sister-in-law Amy Maher is sort of back online and is in the middle of a major life adjustment with their move and because she turns 30 on Saturday. (At least she can blog about it, that's therapeutic right?)
3. My fun friend Claudia just started a blog last week. I met her 11 years ago working at Franklin Covey (back then it was Covey Leadership). She's one of the most interesting people I've ever met. She grew up in Mexico but has travelled all over the world. She speaks Spanish, English, French and Italian (possibly more that I don't know of). She is thoughtful, funny, insightful, and smart so I always like to hear what she has to say. (Long story short, you might want to check out her blog and comment if you do.)
4. I'm unclear as to why some posts get lots of comments (i.e., Valentine's Day, Bella's vomit story, cleaning product confessional), but others do not. I realize we don't always have a lot to say about things, but does that mean there's absolutely nothing to say? Just wondering/complaining.
5. Michelle's most recent post was highly disturbing for me and I'm wondering how it will be for you. If you check it out make sure you comment on hers so we can see if I'm in the minority or not. (If you haven't read it yet, then this is quite a mystery to you no?)
6. Does anyone else feel that during their days there is a swirling vortex of time that is largely unaccounted for? Perhaps it's just me, but even when I'm up and ready very early in the morning (like I was today) I still feel like I have little to show for it or perhaps the same amount that I do even when I sleep in, so I'm wondering what happened to me between 10:30 and 2:30 today because it's gone.
7. I spotted the first 3 inches of tulip and crocus leaves poking out of the ground today!
That's about it. Hopefully no one will respond at all and I can just send this out into a sort of cyber abyss. (That's sarcasm people.)

Hmmm...interesting post. So, I am curious why you feel like you are sending posts into the great cyper abyss. If I do recall, you started this blogfest! I, for one, love reading your posts and find them thought provoking. Sometimes I don't have anything nearly as interesting to say.
Dearest Missy: Well I guess since I am new in this game, the only thought that comes to mind, is that either I have nothing to say at that point....because nothing comes to mind.....or sometimes it may feel as I have nothing worthwhile to say. Sometimes the comments are so inspirational that I couldn't possibly say anything more...but that is what I find special, that you get to be inspired either by reading or sometimes by commenting. Other times there is no time to do so... On Michelle's Blog well, I will have to do it soon...I am curious about it. I will have to find a decent picture too! So far I don't think I look like anyone we know.....
Tulips... exciting! I love spring. I apologize because I'm one who regularly reads your blogs and rarely responds. I still think you are wonderfully interesting, but I usually read while I'm at work. I'll be better about sharing my insights (or lack thereof). You're wonderful!
Ditto on the time vortex!
I too love your blogs. Thanks for sharing your talents and enriching our days.
I love clementines.
I enjoyed the catchup....I have been feeling like I should do that too, just a busy week of nothing really. It is funny the things that provoke comments and the things that get nothing. I really enjoy the comments and try to leave themm, sometimes I have to restrain because I have stalker qualities. It never fails that I hit the publish and think of something else and I have to hold my hands back....two pictures of my big face in a row...NOT GOOD!
Don't hold back--are you crazy? I don't have a problem with your pretty picture, and I'd much rather you be a stalker with comments than a stalker without!
I love the format of your post. I've often considered doing a post this way. Somtimes there are just a ton of random little things to say--not enough for an entire post. As for me, I haven't been commenting lately because K and I had terrible cold last week, then we got the stomach flu (24 hours of throwing up each!) and then my parents have been visiting. They're leaving tomrrow, and I'm rededicating myself to being a better blogger. So don't feel that you're sending your thoughts into any kind of void. I'm totally addicted to your bog, and even thought I haven't commented much lately, I always read and deeply appreciate!
Thanks Amy. I swiped the format of this post from Amy Maher's post yesterday so it was her good idea. I'm glad you're addicted and happily await your return.
RE: swirling vortex of time. I experience this nearly every day. I have no explanation for it. I too am glad Claudia is blogging because she seems like a very interesting person and now we can get to know her better! I am excited about Robyn's baby and sad that she is so far away so we can't see her in person. Can't believe you saw tulip leaves! I'm going to go look in my yard!
p.s. that cartoon is hilarious.
I'll admit that I don't comment nearly as much as I read. I read your blogs all the time. I guess I sort of feel like because I'm sort of family of a friend I shouldn't clutter up your blogs unless I really have something to say.
My crocuses are almost in bloom!! Isn't it great!?!
Comments! I have an average of 80 hits a day. and you see it you, michelle and your friends are who comment on my blog. if it was not for your book group i would be commentless. my local friends still don't even say anything to me about it and you know about my siblilng thing.
So call me if you want some comments counseling.
I don't know which item to respond to, I have a nodding effect for each one I read. What sticks out is the sarcastic comment about the cyber abyss because I LOVE when Meg Ryan says her peace in you've got mail then adds she doesn't want a reply, just to send it out into the void. "So, goodnight dear void..." I SO feel that ways sometimes!
