Dear Bob Letter




We got a letter for Bob - Bob Wagner in the mail yesterday. I thought it was a joke because we called Charlie "Bob" before he was born. So I tore open the envelope and inside was a letter from "Ivy" in San Diego, telling Bob Sr. that she is so sorry he has been sick and in the hospital. Somehow, this woman thought a Bob Wagner lived at our home, we think she looked up Robert Wagner in our city and figured the address on white pages online was correct.

I almost made the decision to turn this blog private because I started to get really paranoid. I thought maybe I'm putting too much of our personal information out there for anyone to see - and now they know where we live! I blame my friend, I'll call her "M", because she was convinced she had 2 terrorists following her blog. Not only were they terrorists, but they wanted to kill her family, or so she thought. M shut down the old blog and created a new one. It sounded a little crazy (no offense, M) but now I get it. I started to get really paranoid that there was some creep out there obsessed with our family and this was his little way to let us know he is out there thinking about us. Rob convinced me it was probably some nice lady in San Diego and just a big mix up. Since Rob wasn't worried about it, I wasn't worried about it.

So for now, the blog will stay up as public unless Buddy gets a letter in the mail then I might change my mind.

This person named "M" sounds like a freak! Oh well, it seems like "M" is very open about her mental issues.

omg, I'm cracking up right now. Terrorists, people trying to kill her family... it's all so creepily funny in this age of sorta-could-actually-almost-be-true internet stalker age.

The whole letter thing is so weird!

Maybe you should send the letter back to Ivy and tell her that she sent it to the wrong address? Or just seal it back up in the envelope and write on it "no one here by that name" and give it back to the post office and they'll take care of it. BTW- I don't think that someone is after you guys!

Katie - I did exactly what you said actually. I'm sure there really is a sick Bob Wagner and if I were Ivy, I'd want to know he didn't get it. The whole thing is so weird!

omg...MY BLOG MUST REALLY BE BORING. I have no stalkers, terrorists, nothing. I think I am a little jealous.

Meanwhile, Buddy, hide your toys...I'm comin' for you................

Maybe you're just really popular? ;)Now if I start getting letter for a Gus-Gus, well maybe the same Ivy reads both our blogs. LOL!
