All the kids are doin' it

I'm caving. So many blogs, so many delurk buttons. Help me out. Today is the day that we bloggers ask you readers (and a lot of you bloggers as well) to fess up to reading us. I know, I know, the shame, on par with reading the faded newsprint tabloid at the checkout that always boasts the latest martian and uptown girl love child, but do it. I promise you won't have that slimy feeling when you're done.



Leave me a comment, let me know you are here and reading this blog. Tell me you agree that Jeannie Velasco and Rachel Ray make you want to grab a rasp from the garage and shave your ears from your very head. Or, tell me that you love 'Rache' and her EVOO. Shudder

I do not know that I am the first to read this but I will be the first to leave a comment. I found your blog from Because I Said So Blog. So I am just stopping by to say Hi.

Randi said...

Well I've commented before, as you know, but just wanted to jump on board and say it's cool you caved and your playin too;)

Happy De-Lurking!

BOSSY said...

Bossy never was the lurking type. Her husband wishes. For two seconds.

Amy York said...

I'm here. I do not know who Jeannie whoever was... Rachel Ray has more energy than I do but I think she has good recipes...

cce said...

Now you've made me feel like I need to go blow dry my hair.
Damn. I hate blow drying.

Jen said...

I don't need to delurk here because you can't ever get me to shut up. Hee!

Since I caved on my blog, I thought I would go around and comment for everyone else that was asking for delurking. Because I am nothing if not a follower.

So, I read you, I love your writing (duh), and I'll be back for more. And more, and more...

The Hotfessional said...

Yea, me again. ;-)

Rachel Ray? Makes me want to use a cheese grater on my ears. A rasp wouldn't leave as much blood.

Randi said...

p.s. SO not a fan of Rachel:0

Kristy said...

How did you know that I have been lurking? I just can't help myself!

Wendy said...

Well, this is my first time here (thanks for commenting so I could find you!) but I'll be back to check you out again. Anyone that doesn't like Rachel Ray is worth another look. LOL

Lara said...

i'll end up posting it too (the delurk button), but i'm finding myself paying more attention to my own delurking today than my readers'. i decided to comment on every blog i read today, just to remember that blogs are part of a community and i want to participate in that. :)

nutmeg said...

I read! I read! I can't figure out how to get the widget to load or I'd be posting it too!

Devine Memories Photography said...

Absolutely love your blog. I laugh, I cry, I relate (especially to the EVOO thing,what IS that??)

flutter said...

Um EVOO doesn't bother me nearly as much as "YUM-O!!""

dawn224 said...

Howw about Giada and the teeth?

slouching mom said...

Smack. (That was a kiss from a nonlurking blogger.)

LIBSMOM said...

Not so much of a lurker but commenting anyway.
Rache? Meh...
Guilty Please? Paula Deen. There, I said it. What's a stick of buuuder between friends, right?

Colleen said...

Here I am! Again.

I have to admit... Rachel Ray irritates me sooooo much. But it's like a car wreck... I just can't turn away. Help me! I have a problem.

Pgoodness said...

Rachel Ray? OY! Good recipes, annoying as all get out (whatever that really means!)EVOO - is it really that hard to just say olive oil??

Crystal said...

I am not a lurker on your site, I have too much to say about your cuties and your beautiful writing... but oh the pressure from these buttons today.

iheartchocolate said...

The button made me do it too. I read. I like.

I do NOT like Rache! She is snotty and mean to her guests. She doesn't like to share the spotlight. I hate her dyed to dark hair. I liked her before she got so famous, she was nicer.

BetteJo said...

Yeah I don't lurk here much, I generally open my big mouth. Can't resist commenting on those baby girls of yours and all you have to say.

P in VT said...

Hiiiiii there :)

PunditMom said...

Too many blogs, so little time!

Mrs. Chicken said...

no lurker here.

as for RR. Hate. Her. Face. Hate Hate Hate.

you? you i love.

Kristin said...

Not delurking as I've already do so, but hello... Rachel Ray and the word "sammies" drives me nuts!

Yet, I still watch so guess the jokes on me.

Mom of a munchkin said...

You know I always read and you're blogs are two of my top 5 fave's. I don't always have time to comment but I do try to read whenever I can!

Jennifer aka Binky Bitch said...

Well, I kinda like Rachael Ray and I kinda want to strangle her. Not sure which. Love her recipes, hate her eerie perkiness. Love that she seems real, but hate her acronyms.

bubandpie said...

I'm feeling like the White Rabbit here... so very late.

Magpie said...

RR is unspeakable. EVOO is the worst acronym ever. And I saw her branded plastic garbage bowls in a cooking store the other day. As if you need to buy a special bowl to put garbage in???

Major Bedhead said...

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see this on delurk day. I loathe Rachel Ray. Did you know she copyrighted Yum-o? Giada The Teeth and that freaky woman who coordinates her outfits to her horrible, horrible food (Semi-Homemade?). Whatever. It's NOT cooking. Not. Cooking is Mario Batali. Cooking is Julia Child. Cooking is not opening a can and adding marshmallows.

*pant pant*

Sorry. Pet peeve. One of many.


Hi. Aren't you glad I stopped by?

MsPrufrock said...

I'll de-lurk as well, given that there are few things more sad than a "get out there and de-lurk" post where no one delurks. Even if 30+ people have beaten me to it.

Can't comment on the Rachel Ray thing, as I'm a US transplant in the UK and have no real idea who she is. I know my brother thinks she's hot though.
