Blog consequences

You know….its not all fun and games here in the blogosphere. There has been some serious fallout from having this blog:

• I now think about attending events solely for their blog-worthiness…(“C’mon Niall – PLEASE take me with you to the NASCAR race this weekend”)
• My niece now only calls me “Mr. Mauve”. (Which I guess is still an improvement over being known as “the aunt that didn’t remember my birthday”)
• My family now insists that McC events are “off-the-record”. [Unfortunate…but out of the question]
• These things take time…I am NOT keeping up with my Law & Order marathons like I used to.
• People feel free to tell me when a post is “not your best”. I’m sorry people, but some days…my life is just a.little.less.absurd than other days.
• I’ve had to change the names of the people I am blogging about.
• Anne MARIE no longer even talks to me
• My mother now routinely asks me whether I have walked into any glass walls lately
• In a critical failure to manage expectations…people now expect me to be [a little] funny (like I write this stuff!)
• In order to avoid offending anyone FURTHER, I can’t even blog about the good stuff. =)
