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!
Am I really number 101? Maybe not by the time I ‘say it!.’ Not a lurker…but happy to comment anyways:)
Wow, now that’s a lot of comments…

I have an I-pod but don’t really know how to use it yet. I’d choose the Starbucks card, and give it to Amanda B.

You are SO popular….I’m an oldie around here…trying to keep up with your faithful blogging (how do you do it?). I barely have time to read, let alone comment…sorry ’bout that!
[Reply]
Whuh?
Did I miss something.
Dadburn work…always making me miss out on the goods.
[Reply]
Hola!
I am a big lurker! I comment maybe once per month… I am sorry about this. I commented before though, I am really Dutch! Perhaps you remember.
You won’t have to pick me with the presents, because we do not have a Starbucks over here… And I hardly use I-tunes either.. Anyway love your blog and your pictures. Good luck with your on-line shop!
[Reply]
I am delurking. I only read occasionally though so please leave me out of the contest. I’m a big fan of the “mark all as read” button. It seems I’m a pack rat. I keep adding blogs to read and in reality have no chance in hell to read them. They pile up screaming to be read and when I can’t take it anymore the “mark all as read” button is my friend.

Ok. I’ll admit it. I’m SO a lurker! It’s awful! I read ALL the time, but only comment every now & then. I apologize.
As for the ‘gifts’ … I am so behind the times. I don’t even own an IPod. ITunes wouldn’t benefit me much; HOWEVER, I am all over Starbucks! Nothing wrong with a FREE caramel frap! Yum! Yum!
Good luck on breaking your record! I have faith in you … & all the lurkers delurking!

formerly BiteTheRabbit….I used to comment irregularly now I never do
but for you and your incentives I will. You site is in my Google Reader and I read it everyday!

GO Ange GO!! Look at all those comments!!! I’m jealous!! But then again I am no where near the writter you are. One of resolutions was to blog more and comment more. I tried to comment on Dana’s blog but apparently you gotta be a friend. I will lurk through you links more and comment more…I promise. Oh, and either card would get used in these hands. itunes for working out and the coffee cuz after waking up at 0520 I need it before work. LOL Good luck on breaking that record!!!!
[Reply]
Hey!! I think you just broke!! didn’t you?????
[Reply]
Well, I’m not a lurker here (yet
since it’s my first time. I’m not even sure how I got here 
(sound familiar?)
Anyway, I enjoyed checking out your blog and reading how you met your ‘honey’. Hey, maybe we’re related…I have dutch ancestors!
My sons would go crazy for the itunes gift – I’d pass it on to them – nice idea.
Sara’s last blog post..ever happen to you???

Count me in for coffee and music. Or music and coffee. Or both. I don’t care. Just count me in!

Geez, Louise you are popular! No wonder you can buy lenses and such with blog revenue.
Not really a delurker anymore- but I could use an I-tunes gift card!

I have definitely been coming out from lurking status at a lot of blogs now. It is fun to meet new people. Thanks for the great giveaway
Now off to think about one for my blog (which I have been thinking about forever now).

OOH i read often, but am technically a lurker. I just sit back and wish I would get the energy to start my own blog. But for now I’ll just keep reading and semi-commenting!
So Angella keep writing! And of course Starbucks sounds good too 
[Reply]
Delurking to say iTunes!
[Reply]
Love itunes! But I do enjoy reading your blog much more!
[Reply]
Don’t take it personally–I’m a lurker at all the blogs I read. I prefer to think of myself as a reader. I just enjoy reading about people’s lives.
[Reply]
I read all the time but don’t comment as often as I should (or post on my own blog for that matter…oops). Here I am saying hello and I hope you had a great holiday and I work at a coffee shop so I’m well caffeinated but we could use some new tunes.

Hey there, how fun your first contest!
I’d probably pick the Starbucks gift card… unless my hubby would like the itunes card, then I would pick that and let him use it… wow, I am nice…

Thanks again for sending your hubby to our place to snow plow. Great help. It took me almost 3 hours yesterday to clear the driveway.

Love your blog! Read it daily (well, not this week as I’m on vacation and “trying” not to be on anything electronic… oops!) Keep up the pictures and the laughs!

Hi! I delurked last time, but I’ll do it again to break your record
