The related posts link at the bottom of yesterday’s post linked to a long forgotten moment in my Christmas history.   Actually, it linked to the follow up post, but I will link to both of them.  For you old timers, do you remember this?  

Ooooops.  (Read this one first)

Unfortunately, the comments got deleted somehow when I transfered to wordpress, but the gist was that people tried to convince me to be honest with Mr. A about what had happened and surely he would understand and forgive me.  

I thought you were all Crack Smokers.  (Read this one second)

It was only when I reread that post last night, that I realized I had never told Mr. A (nor did he know the real source of the nice knife sharpener we now own).   I called him in and let him read the posts.

In case you were wondering, three years later he ALMOST thought it was funny.  I, on the other hand, chuckled about it all evening.

Those posts were a good reminder about why I blog.  I would have only vaguely remembered that day and the scene in the car if I hadn’t written those posts.

I have blogged for about four years now and I have always tried to be as honest as possible here.  There have been moments when I had to hold information back for a while, but I believe honesty is the best policy why bother at all?

That being said, the Next Big Thing is in the discussion phase and I can’t write about it openly here without jeopardizing the plans.  Given the previous malicious bullshit from some jerky trolls, despite my efforts to convince Mr. A, he is steadfastly against any public discussion. 

This is a total bummer for me.  I want to write about it because it is exciting and I want to remember those feelings later when it either happens or falls through.  So this is what I am going to do:  

I am going to write an occasional password protected post about it. 

But there is a caveat!!!!

I am not sharing the password now.  I am just using it as a way to archive the posts until they can be published publicly.

I will put them all in their own category to be unpassworded once I get Mr. A’s ok.  You can read them then.

You don’t need to be concerned that there are some cool kids with the password and you don’t have it.  That always drives me crazy.  The posts are just for me right now, not for public consumption. 

So when you see the PW protected posts, just ignore them. 

Hopefully, someday way off in the future, they will still be as interesting as that Oops post was to me last night.
