Sissy

This is a comparison that I never thought I'd make, but in at least one way, my family is like the Osbournes. Remember how their oldest daughter, Amy, didn't want to be on their reality show so it looked to the whole world like they only had Kelly and Jack? Well, my youngest sister has decided that she would like to be removed from my blog. I cannot easily accommodate that, however, because she is a significant part of my life and affects it in many ways, usually for the richer. I can't pretend she doesn't exist. I have decided that a fair option would be to change her name, so from here on out I will refer to her as Sissy. And I've changed every post in which she was ever mentioned to reflect this. I'd also like to publicly apologize if I've ever aired anything that could be deemed her "dirty laundry." That was never my intent and I thought I had been careful to reflect that in my wording of any situation that did not directly involve me.

FWIW, my husband gets upset if I mention we're going out of town in advance of actually going out of town on my blog. Because you never know who might read my blog, seek out my address and rob our house.

Of course, this is the same man who asks me if anyone actually reads my blog, so - he wants it both ways.

I've been lurking for awhile - I'm a friend of Erika's who told me about your blog. Very enjoyable!

Thanks for the kind words, ae! I'm all for being careful with identity (you should see the way I carefully pull off my address block from every goddamn piece of mail for shredding), but there HAS to be a limit, right? I look forward to checking out your blog!

The Osbournes have another daughter?
