Love Our Lurkers Day!

I think it's fair to say that many, many, many of us were lurkers to start with. I know I was! I was just sure that if I left a comment on a *gasp* spanking blog it would immediately send out a notification to my mom, my boss, my pastor, and those mean kids in high school. But one day I took the plunge. I left a comment, and not only did the world keep turning, but I found that I'd taken a first step - one that led me to eventually start my own blog. And I met a lot of great people, some of whom are now my friends outside of the blogosphere too! So if you're out there being shy, stop it! No, don't go away - pop in and say hi! This is the 7th annual Love Our Lurkers Day, and I'd love to meet you!

Oh my goodness! **Updated to include new friends!**

What a fantastic bunch of comments you guys left! I got to meet a bunch of wonderful new people and hear from some lovely old friends too! I'm afraid I'm awful at leaving comments myself. There are so many awesome spanko bloggers out there that usually I just plain old don't have time to leave comments. But I really do try when get the chance, and I always appreciate each and every comment I get on here. A big thanks to Bonnie for hosting this again this year! It's been a lot of fun, and I'm glad she came up with the concept. I'm going to respond to everyone here:

padme amidala, hi sweetie! It's always so good to hear from you, and I always love to read over at your place! You're one of my favorites too!

PK, I'm so glad to hear from you! I'm afraid I don't comment on yours as much as I'd like, but I'm always over there!

hermione, thank you! I can't take any credit for Bonnie - she's an amazing blogger! But I always swell up a bit when she's so generous with her compliments. I look forward to reading your blog!

AKB, thank you! It's lovely to meet you, and I've added you to my Google Reader!

Thank you, Todd & Suzy. I love yours too!

Grace, my sister! Every time I read your blog I think "That is SO me!" Well, except for your Muslim mother in law. You're one up on me there. (But seriously, you guys have my prayers on that). I'm so glad you stopped by.

Hello, Nigel. Nice to meet you!

Carye, hi sweetie! I'm always so glad to hear from you, and I'd love to email with you regularly!

Thank you, Valdor! Lovely to meet you!

Love Our Lurkers!!!

Pssst! You - over there! How about saying hi? You know you want to...

Come on, everybody here is really nice, and a bunch of us got to be friends just by saying hello. And of course you're welcome to just hang out here without introducing yourself - we're still very glad to have you. But we just loooove meeting new people, especially folks with an interest in This Thing We Do (or want to do, or fantasize about doing, or are just curious about).

Anyhoo, I just wanted to let you know that Bonnie and a bunch of the rest of us spanko bloggers would be thrilled to meet you, so please feel free to pop in and say hi!
