Coming Unmoored

My mom has discovered my blog through the Bob Vila story and is starting to send editorial suggestions. (To be fair, she’s also said very nice things about it.)

I have a sneaking suspicion this may end up being similar to when she first figured out email, got hold of my work email address, and started to send me daily notes asking if I was getting enough sleep and eating well-balanced meals. I mean, how the heck am I supposed to write about things like lesbian stewardesses when my mother is reading??

Ah well. I guess if I can share my weird little life with complete strangers, I can include a few family members, too.

I just don’t want to hear about it if I occasionally say snarky things about Bob Vila or HGTV, okay, guys?

(And, no, that’s not a picture of my mother. She’s actually prettier and more laid-back than that. But I think every 30-something American female has an internalized version of a disapproving mother and mine looks pretty close to this. I suspect mine is named “Mirnah”.)
