Apparently today is Delurking Day, according to Rude Cactus and several others I’ve come across while doing my daily browse of blogs. This thing always sneaks up on me, kinda like the guy in the graphic.
So, um, if you read this, leave me a comment and let me know you’re here, OK? Especially if you don’t comment regularly – or at all. You can stay anonymous if you’d like.
Consider this the annual census of my blog. Only I don’t come knocking on your door at dinnertime to ask you how much you make annually and how many children you have. And feel free to drop any suggestions or praise you might like to share.
(As always, any complaints written in the message body of a $20 Amazon gift certificate e-mail will be read. All others will be ignored.)
I am a reader, but rarely leave comments! I will delurk myself… Lurkers seem creepy now that I’m not one!
Mandi – Thanks for being brave enough to be the first! 🙂
Ollie ollie, in come free!

Hi! I read.
Incidentally, hile I would definitely say that Cordy is a pretty little girl, I would also say that Mira is pretty! I would be more likely to comment on something not appearance-based, though, as I also have a pretty little girl, and have been known to say “And she’s smart, too!” rather than “Thank you” when people say that she’s pretty. 😉
(See what you get when you ask folks to de-lurk? Heh.)
I have you on my google reader but never comment. I’m in Carrolton, TX– it’s a suburb of Dallas. I know it’s lame but I just don’t have much to add since I don’t have kids– yet ;). Here’s hoping we both have a better year
Hi, I’m here! I’ve commented, but not much! I enjoy your blog!
According to the image, National DeLurking Day means I have to go around showing my penis to everyone?
Fine.
Comment (Mel Brooks – High Anxiety)
I read (whenever I get the chance) and have said hello, a time or two, but prefer to just keep quiet…Keep up the good work with your girls.
I read and enjoy your blog. That’s really all I have to add.
Outing myself again.
🙂
Now back to lurking in my google reader. With my Savvy posts (almost always latish) I don’t have a lot of commenting time. But I do think about commenting if that counts.
delurking.
altho i HAVE delurked before.
I’m out. Love the blog, though I have no kids yet. Seems I am not alone…
I’ve been reading for a while … I like your new layout! I don’t know how long it’s been like that, I live in my Reader.
Happy delurking day!
I am here too; have commented before but don’t often.Judy
I read your blog pretty regularly and have left a few comments.
Just as a side note, both of your girls are beautiful.
What me comment? Surely you jest!
Lurker.

De-lurking. I read daily. Love hearing about your cute girls. I have 3 kids and live in Colorado.

Friends don’t let Friends Lurk?
Love the new blog design!
*waves* Hi! I don’t know if I’m much of a lurker since I do comment once and a while, but I’ve been a crappy blog citizen these days, so I wanted to say hi and let you know I’m still here!!
*hugs*
I always comment on Haiku Friday (well, always when I remember it’s Friday and write a haiku…), but will show myself today as well! Really enjoy reading both your blogs. Your reviews are always thoughtful and the Mommy Stories are, too.
Some day I will have kids. Then maybe I’ll actually have something to say on all the mommy blogs I read 😉
Not de-lurking, as I’m here all the time, but Hi! Still here!
And I totally missed delurking day. I’ll have to make my own another day.
Don’t actually remember how I stumbled across your blog…probably from a thoughtful comment left on someone else’s entry and my curiosity (read: nosiness) to see who was behind it.
But either way, did some archive poking, and once I saw the entry about Cordy wanting to catch a fish (which reduced my cold little heart to sniffle tears), I’ve been a faithful lurking reader.
I found you from someone elses’s Haiku Friday post and started following, thinking I would join in. That was awhile ago, and I have yet to participate. Well, I’m out of the closet now, so perhaps I’ll have to do it.
Hi! I am glad it’s delurking day. I’m a big lurker, but as Emily said, I don’t have any kids so I don’t have much to add. That makes it hard to delurk with regular commenting. I enjoy reading though, keep going please!
I’ve been reading via Reader for a while now — I can’t remember how I found you. I’m sure it was from a link or comment on someone else’s blog. Happy DeLurking Day!
I’m your husband, and you know I read the blog, but, here I am.
I read all the time, don’t usually comment, but hi!
Still here, still reading, rarely commenting…
I am here … always am! haven’t been blogging well lately but I am still reading!
I’m here regulary, but still haven’t become much of a commenter (it’s me, not you!).
Here’s to de-lurking day!
Hello! I’m here and I reserve the right to keep my trenchcoat firmly closed while I am commenting. 🙂
I read regularly but don’t comment often. Peeking in today to say hello!
It’s a me!
Hi again! I don’t comment lots, but whenever I have something to add I promise I do!
I do love your blog, your new layout, and your TWO beautiful girls – they really are, too! Between Mira’s smile and Cordy’s hair, Aaron better get his big sticks ready!
Yoo-hoo!
I like your suggested complaint format, but I’d up it to $100.
I’m here! I’m here!
I always read but I don’t always comment, so here I am. Commenting.
Hi, I am a regular reader and have sometimes commented. I enjoy reading your blog. Love the new look with the red birdy, by the way!!
I’m here, as always, although I don’t always comment:) I think you know all of this.
barely a lurker, but saying hi anyway!
I read too, almost daily. Love hearing about your girls as well.
Karen
HELLO!
You know I’m not a lurker…
Regular lurker here, from Toronto, Canada. Have 2 kids, 6 yo boy and 3 yo girl…love your blog!
Commenting is frequently a luxury for me, but I try to when I can. I read regularly, though!
I’m a lurker. 🙂 Include me in your census.
Hi, I do believe I have commented before. Anyways here I am, I do enjoy reading your blog.
Hi there! I live in Reader too.
Hi Christina! I haven’t posted in a long time, but I’m an avid reader and think you are the cat’s pajamas!
I try to stop by whenever I can, but don’t often comment.
I’ve got you Bloglined. I often run a day late. (As you can see, it is now Day After Delurking Day.)
I have two children and I am making frozen enchiladas for dinner.
I’ve got a meeting at preschool.
There. Now NOBODY has to knock on my door.
Lurker from Florida reporting for duty! (A day late though!)
I’m an inveterate lurker, but I read regularly. I have a daughter a year younger than Cordy.
I’m here frequently but time does not always allow me to comment. Love your blog and love the new look.
Hi! I usually only make it over here once a week for Haiky Fridays. I wanted to pass on this award to you though and let you know I think your blog is very well-written.

Hey there!
Oops…a day late…I’m always checking in but pretty much suck at commenting lately…I can barely keep up with my own blog the last month!
I am not a lurker!!!
Hi, I have just discovered you and plan to read all the archives, so I guess it is only fair to comment on your intelligent,forthright. and articulate blog.I do comment when I have something to say on blogs I follow, so I expect I will be here again
BTW,I am a Gramma of 2 and a teacher for 30+ years of music to kids.
Better late than never–love your blog even though I rarely comment.
I’m here. I’ve been reading for awhile. I’m a total lurker. I’ve never commented but just wanted to say hi!
-Cindy
I’ve already introduced myself via email (we live close) but I’m terrible at posting comments. As another commenter said, it’s me – not you!
Julie W
I read!
I read. And I have no kids yet either.
I must say, I see the changes in Cordy through your pictures. It’s amazing. I’ve been reading for over a year, since shortly before her diagnosis.
I’m having problems logging in right now. Here’s my small, barely there blogger.
