Request

After a few rather interesting conversations with my mother over the past two days, I have some suspicions that she might have discovered this blog and identified me despite the pseudonym (which, if you know me in real life, is a rather thin veil).  So, because we have a very close and honest relationship, Mom, if you are reading this, please confirm (e-mail me, text me, walk across the hall and knock on the door, etc) so that I'll stop questioning, because I am not used to that feeling and I don't like it.  If that doesn't happen, I'll assume that my status of anonymity has not been breached, because I trust that you'll be honest about whether you know or not.  

I know it seems cheesy to issue such a public request, but you can't really ask someone if she reads a blog without informing her that it exists (blowing your cover) or at least making her pretty damn suspicious that something is up.  I couldn't really come up with a less hokey idea, apologies to the general readership.
