Withholding Evidence
It's weird sometimes, having a blog and putting so much of my life into it for anyone to read. Everyone I know who reads it already knows everything that is going on in my life. So when I see them, like at Maddie's birthday party, I have nothing to say that they don't already know about. Even people I don't really know well, now get as many details of my life as a best friend.
I wonder if that kills some of the spontaneousness of talking to people - they already know how the story ends.
At Maddie's party I hit on the idea of telling people about things that have happened but haven't yet made it into the blog. A kind of blog preview...I think they liked it :) In fact, this is of course what I used to do before I started blogging everything anyhow.
So, I decided I have to save some juicy stories up, not post them, put them on hold for actual conversations. It keeps the fun alive.
And these stories have already started piling up. I would tell you what they are, but then, that would defeat the purpose wouldn't it?
Call me, or better yet, come over and I'll tell you. Shh.
