Here it is, Wednesday already – Happy Hump Day, everyone! – and I nearly missed out on Delurking Week, again?
[rolls up sleeves]
Nope.
[blows bangs out of eyes]
Not this time, my friend!
Many of you made resolutions last week to lose weight, or quit smoking, or stop beating your children (oops, maybe that was just me), and I just read a Psychology Today article which notes a direct correlation between weight loss, and commenting on your favorite blogs, so leave a comment because it will make you skinny. Not that you’re fat, because you’re not!! So tell me how long you’ve been reading my blog, or your favorite book, or the first word that pops into your mind when you hear the word shish-kabob, and remember, if you don’t leave a comment, you’re letting the terrorists win.
Look, it’s not about the number of comments (although, Sheryl’s request (quoted above) did get…like…two…hundred…trillion…million…or, something…and she’s on a blogging hiatus…and everything) for me, it’s more like:
“Hey…how’s it goin’…yeah…me, too…nuh-uh…I didn’t know that…um…because I’m a Dork, maybe…oh…you knew that already, huh…okay…cooleo!”
[sounds of crickets chirping]
Switching to “Plan B” – Lip-Sticking (don’t you just love that blog title!?!) has a great post up on jumping on the Oprah bandwagon (because, like…Yvonne is way smarter than me!) with regard to the hot topic of donating to charities.
Although my husband and I have often talked about adopting a child – yes, I realize we have four children – we are not in the position to do so, financially, physically, mentally, emotionally, at the moment…but, we do what we can…especially when it comes to helping children.
Yes, there are children in need – sadly, the entire world has known this for way too long to even remember – but, you don’t have to look far to find them.
Here’s the deal – I will donate $1 for every comment I receive to my local chapter of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America:
Big Brothers Big Sisters matches children ages 6 through 18 with mentors in professionally supported one-to-one relationships. We have volunteer programs in communities across the country — including yours.
In keeping with BBBS’ tagline:
“…expanding horizons through the power of one-to-one relationships.”
Color me a Dumas – but, I believe that this is our chance (especially delovely mommy and daddy blogs…feel free to pass the word, along) to prove the power of blogging – it’s NOT just all about the puke and the poop, baby!
Just hold your nose, tell me that you love me and I’ll make it so worth your while ;o)

Okay, I’m delurking. Only just started reading your blog, but it’s lots of fun. Hope you get lots and lots of comments today–BBBS is most definitely a worthy cause.

HEY! I’m not a true lurker, but I want my comment to count. We do have the power to do much more than chronicle poop and snot, not that that’s NOT earth shattering, but still.
Great cause!

Love your blog, Liz. (The hump day titles always make me giggle.) Shish-kebab reminds me of a local restaurant my husband and I used to go to before we were married. For five years or more, the special was ALWAYS souvlaki kebobs, and it became a running joke for us. They had huge portions, so I would eat one skewer and take the second one home for lunch the next day.
Great idea to support Big Brothers/ Big Sisters. You would be a fun Big Sister to a youngster, one day if you have time.

I haven’t stopped to delurk in a very long time (I’m a baaad blogger, I know) so I figure is as good a time as any.
I hope all is well.
