#17 is no longer true.
I did it, I told people in real life about the blog. Well, not all people, just the 4 other people that went away with me this weekend for girls weekend extraordinaire.
We were sitting in Dumsers, eating ice cream after drinking too much wine at dinner, and I came up with the idea of telling each other something we had never told before, and when it was my turn I said, "I have a blog." One of my friends said she thought so, she had seen this but had never followed the link. Here exact words were "it was Jodi and Michael and was written with the sarcastic tone that only you have." (Long ago I had told Jessica she would be my blogging in the closet downfall) That was it. I gave them the web address, as well as the other sites I write for, it was no big deal. It was not mentioned again until the drive home when one of them announced they could not wait to get home and "take their laxative" and that prompted a whole conversation about strange sexual practices with small rodents and I turned around from the front seat and screamed, "I'm totally blogging this!"
So, here's the thing. In real life friends, if you are actually here, if you read, you must, must, must comment. It's the rule. And that goes for the rest of the lurkers out there as well.
I'm taking baby steps, starting with 4 of my closest friends and moving on from there. Maybe I'll be out of the blogging closet for good soon.
Looks Like I Need to Rewrite My 20 Things

oh, how I wish I could be an ‘in the closet’ blogger. My annoying father in law checks my blog five times a day–no joke–and he has looked at the site more than any other CITY. He has hit my site more times than everyone in DC. I really really hate it and I feel like I need to censor myself, when I’d like to really be ranting about my inlaws on my blog. He’ll even check it five times a day on work days, and I want to scream ‘if I haven’t posted anything the night before, don’t bother checking for the rest of the day!!! I don’t blog from work!!!’
Sorry for the rant-you see why I can’t talk about this on my own blog, and I need an outlet I guess.

When I saw this title, I thought maybe you’d be rewriting # 10.
Few real life friends know about my blog. Just those who live far away that I really started it to keep in touch with, but I’m too chicken to tell most people who I see on a regular basis.

Congrats! And before you know it you’ll be like me… telling a story and your INLAWS will say “oh, we know, saw it on your blog” … and then your life as you know it will end. And perhaps we’ll all start new SECRET blogs.

Here I am Jodi – after the big reveal at Dumsters, I came to check it out. How fun…it’s like a free peek into Jodi’s head.

I’m here. (I’m always here.)
I am also out. WAY out. Some of the moms at my kids preschool even read me.
What have I done?

Try to keep it a secret from family. That’s all I’m saying.
My parents and my in-laws all read my blog. It’s a wonder I haven’t gone insane.
