I missed de-lurking week. Actually, I didn't. I missed everyone else's de-lurking week. Mine starts today. I hadn't been blogging much lately, and I think a lot of people probably quit following as a result. No biggie- I read A LOT of blogs, and mine isn't in the top 10 of most entertaining or interesting. But it's healthy for me, and I hope to pick up the pace again.
I figured there should be a giveaway involved to really pry people out of hiding. However, I, like everyone else, have Haiti on my mind, and I want to continue to support the relief efforts. My favorite way to donate to the Red Cross is by texting 90999. It's quick and easy, and $10 will show up on my next phone bill. So, in honor of you all de-lurking, I will send another text and another $10. If at least 20 people comment by next Friday at noon I will also send $50 to Doctors Without Borders. I know it's not much, but every bit counts, so comment away!

Laura, I check your blog every day, and if there's nothing new I come back later. I haven't given up on you! I'm not a lurker, but I hope my comment counts. The devastation in Haiti is incomprehensible.
Well .. I'm not a lurker, but I will add my comment, as ever.
I like Doctors Without Borders. When I (briefly and incorrectly) thought that I might want to be a nurse, my grand plan was to volunteer with them eventually.
Great idea Laura! I stop by from time to time. :) I loved that iTunes made it easy to donate also, if someone is looking for a quick and easy way. A quick couple of clicks and the donation was charged to my iTunes billing credit card and off to the Red Cross.
M&E- Of course I'll include you! (But I do hope I get 20 new ones) :)
K- I didn't know iTunes was doing it- awesome!
Hey Laura! I never really comment but I do have you postmarked on my blog and I catch up with yours every time you update. :)
Hi Laura. I read your blog. I live by Davin's parents. Good cause!
You know I read but I'll comment anyway so you can donate to a good cause...
Love the idea. I always enjoy your blog.
Great idea! Two birds, I say. :D
Great idea! I enjoy reading your blog although I rarely (have I ever?) comment...!
Great idea Laura-Belle! You're cute.
Way better to give for Haiti than a prize for delurking!
Doesn't it just totally blow your mind, thinking of what the people there are living through?
:) Love ya!
i don't know what de-luking means... encouraging non-commenters to comment?
the texting donation is amazing to me--probably many more people chose to give because it is so accessable!
Sarah and Loretta- I read yours also! :)
Sara- can't even imagine!
Who's Anon calling me Laura-Belle? Come on- DElurk. I wanna know who thinks I'm cute. :D
Ethiopifinn- exactly what de-lurking is- I read your blog as well, but don't always comment.
i read your blog and enjoy reading it!! I am glad you are honest, we need more honest people like you.. i have commented i believe at least once. (i rarely have anything to say, you leave me breathless!) You have a way with words. Keep up the good work!!
