For those of you interested:
I made it to Boston from RI without getting lost at all.
I also made it back from Boston to RI with only one side trip into the center of Boston for a few minutes.
You may all think of me as Katie The Girl Who Always Gets Lost. Granted I don't think I have ever made it from NH to RI without some aberration. But instead why don't you think of it as creative driving? I mean, the whole point of a trip is to get from point A to point B. I have never failed at that yet. I may add vehicular flourishes in the middle but those are the creative part! When else am I going to be able to see odd sideroads in Mass. or downtown Boston in the middle of the night?
oh yes, I also picked up Lisa.
(haven't seen her in a quite some time)

Compliments and accomplishments of dubious worth
Yesterday at work we ran into a lull in the general rush of lunchtime. Those of us making sandwiches were standing around, doing odds and ends of cleaning and amusing ourselves with rather aimless chatter. Somehow we suddenly found ourselves trying to see if we could touch our toes without bending our knees. I, being the oldest by far, should have been the least limber. Actually I was the only one able to touch my toes. I can even touch the floor. The 19-year-old and the two 18-year-olds could hardly get past their shins. How young and agile I feel! What a pointless exercise! How odd we must have looked from any customer's point of view. :-)
Today I was informed in heartfelt tones by my friend Kristen that I was the most Catholic-minded Christian she had ever met! I took it as the compliment she meant it for, but it does sound odd. I can just hear Andrea laughing...

Obligatory post
My friends tell my I most post. They say I have not posted in a long time. This would be an obvious statement. I have not posted in a long time.
Let us explore the reasons for this.
Possible reasons for Katie's lack of posts:
1. I have nothing to say.
(highly unlikely. I always have something to say. Just ask my sisters)
2. I have more important things to do.
(well, I can think of few things more important than writing on my blog. Except right now. My friends are thinking about Doing Something. I have very low expectations for what Doing Something means. Some people really mean something when they say this. Some people say let's Do Something and then go Climb Mt. Everest. Some people say let's Do Something and then organize a peacekeeping task force and send it to Rwanda. In the case of my dear friends I am pretty sure that when they say let's Do Something they mean let's go watch Nanny McPhee.
3. Maybe I am lazy.
(Naaaaa...)
4. Maybe I am waiting to write a masterpiece of a post and until I do I refuse to write anything.
(Entirely possible. I am a frustrated perfectionist after all.)
5. Maybe I am involved in some vast covert operation under the direction of Donald Rumsfeld. I may be spending my weekends flying to and from foreign destinations gathering vastly important information using only a flashlight, a Buck knife, and my keen sense of smell.
(Well, it SOUNDS good.)
Okay, for whatever reason, I don't write very often. But I am not going to end this post by promising to improve this blog by either quality or quantity.
The end.
