During a TV commercial, while instant messaging a friend online, my wife said something to me that nearly made my heart skip a beat. No, we aren’t expecting a third, although my dear wife so wishes. My better half said, "I read your blog." My jaw dropped, You did what? you read my blog? I thought to myself. Why was that such a big deal? Actually it wasn’t a big deal at all…but I started thinking back all the blog entries I had posted.
I dug deep into my memory bank to "retrieve" the articles from my blog. I hope I didn’t write anything stupid or I’d be in a world of shxt! I didn’t know if my wife had read them all, since there are quite of few of them. I couldn’t really recall everything I had written…shoot! I crossed my fingers that the next thing coming from her wasn’t a pillow or worse, an angry expression. She was cool and calm. I didn’t ask her but I was thinking "And? what were your thoughts about my blog?" The rest of the evening was business as usual, conversation, TV & Internet.
We keep an open communication, she knows that I correspond with quite a few friends online. I didn’t tell her about my blog, not because I didn’t want her to read it. I just didn’t bother. With my notebook on my lap, I quickly went back to my blog and scanned through my own postings. This one was fine, and that one….I flew through the 30 some odd entries I had. I looked for stupid or inappropriate comments I might have. "Whew…none! I’m saved!"
I’m not sure if my wife would become one of my faithful readers, but in case you are reading this. "What’s for dinner, honey?"
