strangers with candy

I originally set my reader feeds to partial because I liked to see where my readers were coming from via Site Meter. I share a lot of personal stuff here, and I wanted to make sure no one was coming here out of sorts or after searching for porny sounding things or whatever.

Last week I was going to set them to full because I hate partial feeds and I'm assuming you do too. My traffic is relatively steady, I don't have a link to the picture blog on this site, and although there are personal things posted here, it is no less than what I might tell you at the playground or in line at the grocery or over lattes while waiting for the bus because I'm the Queen Mum of TMI and currently holding reign over the Province of Rambling about Nothing. So what the hell.

Point is, my cousin had Jake at Target last week and someone stopped him in the aisle and said "hi there Jake! Where is your mommy?". The lady who stopped him asked my cousin if she was with him and if I was there (answers were yes and no, respectively) and she said that her name was Lauren and to let me know she said hi. She said I would know her and Gino. Um, no. I don't. I know three Laurens. One was at my house at the time, one is in Chile, and one doesn't fit the description. I'm hoping that my cousin didn't hear her name right and whoever it was just hasn't gotten around to calling me and telling me she ran into Jake in aisle ten.

So, was it you?

Or you?

Or maybe you?

I wasn't creeped out by this at first, and I'm not really creeped out now. I've recognized bloggers and said hi to them and their kids, and I'm not creepy. Well, I'm not ubercreepy. Stalking you online and sending you @Twitter messages regarding what is going on with your personal life is hardly threatening, right?

I just want to know who it was so I can get past this and start obsessing about something else.
