It has come to my attention that it is National Delurking Week!
This is the week where everyone comments everywhere, in order to spread the love.
Please don’t be offended by the term “lurker”. It may sound shady, but at least this time I am not calling you a Mofo.
I’m nice like that.
I understand the non-commenting. I honestly do. I used to comment on every. single. post. that I read. But I keep meeting new people! And finding new sites! There really are only so many hours in a day.
I do read though! I have been too skeered to hit “Mark All As Read” in my feed reader. So I do read. But do not comment as often as I would like.
This week will be different! Comments are the currency in blogging. I am about to spend some serious cash.
I will also spend cash literally. On YOU.
All of you peeps who come by every day have created a nice cushion of ad revenue. It is only fair that I pay it back. Or forward. Whatever.
This is my very first contest!
If I break my comment record, I will put all of your names in a hat. I will then draw names. The winner will either get a $20 Starbucks gift card:
Or a $20 iTunes gift card:
I will leave comments open for…awhile. I really want to break the record and pay you guys back. Hopefully by the weekend.
So…GO! Say Hi!
Tell me which one you would choose. That is all you need to do.
Pay me in comments…and I will pay you. It is a good deal all around.
**Edited to add – this contest is for everyone – not just new commenters!
I have committed to leaving comments at all the blogs I stalk!! I have not been the best at doing so, but I even listed this on my blog in hopes to pull others out of the dark and into the comments!
I would love an i Tunes card. I have an MP3 with about 10 lonely songs on it!

Hello! First time coming by your site. I found you via Loralee who stole this idea and then I stole it from here. lol!
I would be interested in the iTunes card if I were blessed enough to win.
Love the site. I see your comments on most of my regular reads. I’ll have to browse around.

I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks. I love looking at your pictures and it inspires me to get out and take some more…
You have a way with words and love your family as much as I do…it’s refreshing. Thanks for sharing your world with us!

Hi, not entirely a lurker, as I comment once in awhile, though I read daily.
I would love the Starbucks card, as I am a techno-peasant and don’t use iTunes!

Starbucks for sure.
I just discovered your site recently via Amanda’s blog. You guys are a joy to read. Keep up the good work.

Hi from Texas! I found a link to your site after following several links through several sites. This was a few months ago.. I’ve been checking back ever since.
I’d pick the I-tunes!

Okay Okay, I am delurking. I check your blog regularly from my sister in laws Julie and Shareen. We are currently in Israel, how do you propose getting me the card if I win?
Love your blog.
