[Updated to add: I’m going to leave this entry at the top for a week. For more recent posts, see below.]
Um. Hi. Can I ask a favor? If you know me in real life and read this blog semi-regularly, can you please leave a comment on this post?
See, I have this problem…
Among the drawbacks of publishing the details of my family’s life here is the fact that it’s a bit one-sided. Meaning that if you read this blog, you know more about me than I know about you on a daily basis.
See, it happens all too often that I’m having a perfectly two-sided conversation with a friend and telling them about the latest stunt Kaelin pulled or the latest way Koren has found to keep me from sleeping, and the response is, “I know. I read your blog.”
And then the conversation just falls over and dies at my feet while I stand there trying to remember what ELSE they already know from the blog because HEAVEN FORBID I REPEAT MYSELF.
I hate repeating myself. My life is hardly interesting the FIRST time around.
So if I know ahead of time that you are already caught up on the latest details via this blog, then I can avoid that awkward what do I say now point of the conversation and it would make me feel like much less of a social failure.
So humor me? Just click the “Comments” button below this post and fill in your name (or enough of your name that I can tell who you are) etc. in the popup window. Thanks!
PS… I will soon be adding a segment in the sidebar for businesses we support. If you have your own business website and you would like to be added to that section, be sure to leave the address in the comments as well.
PPS… Is anyone around here using Similac Advance formula? We bought a bunch just before we had to switch Koren to the soy version, and now we can’t take some of it back. Any takers?
UPDATE: As a point of clarification, I’m not asking you to comment on every post from here on out (although, if you want to…). This is just a one-time request so I can make a mental note that, “Ok, this person reads the blog so I shouldn’t repeat all my blog stories when talking to them and expect them to act like it’s new information.” kthxbye.
