Lurky McLukerson
The idea for this post comes from Badger who posted the places where she rarely if never comments. It is a fabulous idea so I am stealing it and doing it myself. Three of the places I lurk are also on Badgers list as well. Who knew?
Ruth Campbell Smith Diaries - I found this blog through a link left on my blog. Miz S outted me as a lurker to Carol. Carol posts daily a transcript from her grandmother's diaries. It is a bit of voyuerism probably but I love the glimpse into another time and another life.
15 Minute Lunch - This guy is funny. I love his take on even the most mundane of things. I have no idea how I found his blog. It was one of those click a link click a link click a link things until you don't have any idea the spiderweb of roads that led you to where you are. So, I was lost, then I found Johnny. Johnny Virgil.
Lyvvies Limelight - I get a vicarious pleasure reading her vent about her in-laws. It may sound mean but I don't mean for it to be at all. When I read her venting it takes off some of the steam of my own. Notice I NEVER speak of that subject here. I first found her and her blog through Susie at the Underpaid Kept Woman.
Prepare to Meet Your Bakerina - I consider the Bakerina to be my food geek read. I love her recipes. I love her way of writing. I don't think I am intellectual enough to create words into sentences the way she does. She is successful at something I just can't get the hang of. She bakes the most beautiful loves of bread! I can almost smell them through her photos. I also love that her pots and pans are well used and in no way look like they are brand new. They looked battered, worn and well loved.
True Wife Confessions - I have been reading this blog since around entry #60 something. I found it through a google search but I can't remember what it was I had googled that landed me there. I find reading these confessions often sad. Very sad. I wonder why people can't say more out loud to each other. I find it frightening the women who have one night stands over and over and the possibility they could get aides seems not to bother them at all as they stand defiantly saying they will do it again. I feel sorry for their husbands but I feel even more sorry for the women who write alot of these confessions. I am always surprised by the things confessed. I guess there is something about dirty little secrets that draws me back time and again.
Confessions of a Pioneer Woman - This has to be one of my most favoorite lurking places. Ree is just the funniest most honest woman I have ran into in a long long time. I love reading about their family ranch. I love looking at her photos. I love her impersonation of Ethel Merman. The fact that she puts a 2 year old on a horse and sends her kids off behind the rest of the cowboys makes me hold my breath. She is impressive and makes me look like I sit around and eat bon bons all day long. Ha! I think I love her. You know, in the way that she is like a heroine in the romance novels that I write in my head. (I wrote a giant one the other day when I was doing all of that laundry.)Go visit and tell her I sent you.
I lurk at other places, too, but this is enough for today.
Tell me where you lurk.
I hardly ever lurk for long, because I can't usually keep my mouth shut or my brain on hold...LOL. One place is Crazy Aunt Purl. The woman is extremely funny, but since she gets hundreds of comments, I figure she won't miss mine.
I'll check yours out after lunch.
I lurk at True Wife Confessions. I've even submitted one or two. :) (Mine were funny though, not sad)
I love Ruth's Diaries!
I stopped reading True Wife because it's too sad now.
I lurk... here (sometimes!)
I lurk here, and sometimes comment.
I also lurk at Crazy Aunt Purl, Run Jen Run, My Beloved Monster and Me, and Kapgar.
Oh, Angie, thank you. I needed that. :) Seriously, I've been feeling so feckless and blog-neglectful these days that I feel like it's a wonder anyone's still sticking around. I'm very, very glad that you are.
As for my own lurking, it's not exactly bloglurking, but once upon a time I used to live on Plastic.com, leaving a lot of comments, even writing up a story from time to time. Then I became disenchanted with rampant trolling and infighting, so I buzzed off for a while. Now I'm back, but I haven't been commenting...just lurking. :)

Oh, for the love of Mike. Sorry for the multiple postings. Feel free to blast some of those interlopers away -- and this one, too. :)
I don't really lurk more than once. If I like a place - I comment.
I love postsecret.com, it's updated every Sunday. People send in various confessions on post cards. Maybe this is a well known site, I'm not sure, but I just discovered it. Apparently they have three books in print with all the postcards people have sent in. I used to read her bad mother's basement, but sometimes it's too sad...
I lurk here time and again (obviously), and sometimes (not often) at True Wife Confessions. I've learned a lot from that place. I even submitted a man's perspective once. It was kind of long, but it got posted.
I'll be back.

I don't know if I'd call it "lurking". Stalking, maybe, but not lurking.
I'll be back.
