Hey you! Yes, you! The one who sashays over here, checks out what’s new, and leaves without a peep. I’m talking to YOU!
I see you visiting, you know. I wonder who you are, and why you visit, and whether you like what you are reading. I wonder why you come often, but never say hello.
Well, this week is International Delurking Week, and you are morally obligated to leave a comment. It doesn’t have to be a pithy comment, or a witty comment, or a verbose comment. Just say hello, for goodness sake. I don’t ask much (okay, so that’s a lie, I shamelessly ask for stuff all the time), but today I’m asking, nay impelling you, to give up a little comment in return.
(Props to Paper Napkin for the idea, and the funky graphic. Go say hello to Sheryl and pick up a graphic of your own!)
Now go forth and comment on all your favourite blogs. Share the bloggy love!
OH, you know me. When I don’t lurk, I comment six times in one sitting. Do you really want me to comment more?
It’s that time of year already? I forgot about Delurking Week… I need Sheryl to come back from hiatus! Thanks for the reminder.
I try to comment each time I visit so I don’t think I’m a lurker! It was your blog that got me into blogging and reading others so thank you!
Cooee.
Am I a lurker? I dunno. I found you around the time of Frostie’s implant, I can’t remember via who or why, and liked your writing and stayed to watch.
Glad you’re in a cheery mood today.
This is my first blog comment… well… ever, actually. Love your writing, love your blog.
Okay, I’m taking a big breath and hitting “publish”.
HEY YOURSELF! 😉
de-lurking to say hello! I read you regularly and comment about once every 3 months I think….oh well, I’m here though
Hi. 🙂
Regular reader, just never felt like I had anything important enough to say so I stayed quiet.
Love your writing. I’m here with each update.
Hi!
Not lurking, just enjoying 🙂
Keep up the great writing!
Hello! I’ve been here before too… Sometimes I comment, most times I don’t, but I always enjoy!! Great blog-love it!
I read most days, comment occasionally, enjoy always. Keep it up, Dani.
Hi! (waving)
Hullo 🙂 Usually lurking but I’ve commented once or twice before.
Happy De-Lurking Week!
Boo!
Hi!
Am also a regular reader, but not much of a commenter (mostly because I read blogs through Bloglines and there’s no easy “leave a comment” feature there). I enjoy your writing!
Not much of a commenter – I enjoy your readings same as the bird enjoys the sunny morning in the bird bath – sheer thrill of soaking in the vibrant maternal spirit in your writing gives a great start for the day.
Ahoy! I think I commented before. Mainly I don’t because I don’t live in Canada, write, or have kids. But I love hearing your musings and all! (Originally arrived via Phantom.)
Hey there! I’m a fellow Ottawa-ite, and I’ve loved reading your blog in the past 11 months since my son was born. It’s been great getting a view into the lives of boys a wee bit bigger than my own.
Hi again. I’m still around, though I haven’t visited around the blogsphere very much lately. 🙂
Thanks for reminding me about Delurking week. I’d forgotten all about it!
lurk lurk
Good lord, Haloscan is allowing me to comment today! Too bad I’m in a hurry and don’t have much to say…
Happy new year! and keep up the fun blog. I’ll be back.
Delurking to say hi, and to tell you that I read you daily, and love your writing.
Hello..Delurking here. I read everyday and never comment, but I love your blog, and I’m gonna try to comment more. Happy Delurking week to you!
hello…not that i lurk or anything, but you know, give me an excuse to comment, and I will 😛
If it weren’t for lack of time everyday, I would comment more…!! Your blog is the first one I read everyday, I visit links off your page and navigate my day from right here from the Mothership! Keep up the good work my friend!
full time reader and loving it 100%, occasional commentor so guess that makes me a part-time lurker
Dee-lurk…
I have commented once, maybe twice before, but lets consider this my official delurking.
Love your blog.
Howdy! Happy delurking week!
Hi! I followed a link from Squidoo to your blog a couple months ago, and have read every day since! (Commenting once in a while). This is the only blog I’ve ever regularly read, and I love it! Happy Delurking Week!
Hello! 🙂 I’m a regular reader, and sometime-commenter!
Hi Dani!
Comment comment comment.
Hey, it didn’t kill me!
Holy crap, er, I mean, HELLO! What a lovely surprise to “meet” so many of you for the first time.
And look how clever and funny and nice you are… y’all should speak up more often!
Okay, okay I am delurking JUST because you asked so nicely! I read your blog practically religiosly. I am not a mother yet but am looking forward to starting soon and I love to hear all your stories of motherhood plus your daily ramblings. It is so entertaining!! Keep it Up!
Hey D – long time reader, many time commenter, and my therapist prefers the term ‘showing passive, noncommital interest’ rather than ‘lurking’.
Wow! you actually made people delurk… good job. Ok, I’m gonna have to check out that link and try again on my own blog…
Delurking to say -I stop by often. Have a great day!
delurking out of moral obligation 🙂 i’m just shy! 🙂
Oh, I’ve been lurking for a while now. I really enjoy your style of writing and find myself coming back frequently for updates…I’ve been reading since well before the last frostie implant and have to say that I really admire the courage and strength that you demonstrated through that time. My husband and I are planning to start trying for our first baby later this year and I am very paranoid that we will have problems. Both my sister and my mom have had several miscarriages and I’m quite nervous that I will face the same plight. My hat comes off to you. Keep writing!
*waves* 🙂
Well, I’ve left a few comments, but not many, so i guess I’m a lurker. I like reading blogs, but am always short on time, so read only yours on a regular basis. I really like your style of writing, and also seeing what life with 2 preschoolers is like. I have one 19 month old and a crazy job, so I like to read your blog for a breather! Keep up the great work.
Awww, I really like lurking. And since I’m in my pj’s, I don’t think it’s right to comment. My brain is already sleeping.

Does looking equate us to a groupie, a stalker, or a secret admirer?
Should be lurking, not looking. That would make one a peeping tom.
Haloscan FINALLY letting me comment to you!! It’s been days….
Here I am waving!!!
But I am hardly a lurker, more like a stalker.
xo
Delurking here — love your blog! But you know that already.
Hi – thanks for writing!
hello love ur blog
First time reading your blog–but it sure looks like a popular one. So, I’m saying hello and I’ll be back.
I think this is a cute idea. So I’m leaving a comment, as I found you while researching the origins of delurking. 😉
