YAY!!! The weekend is here. This weekend is extra special because we have two reasons to celebrate. Wait, um, actually, there are three reasons. That’s pretty cool, huh? Wanna know what the reasons are? GREAT! I’m so glad that you asked … The first reason to celebrate is that I’ve finally completed my move. YAY!!! … Fret not; I’m still in NYC, just in a different place. (By the way, lucky enough, the move went fairly smoothly ( … that is, of course, aside from one minor mishap). Okay, so, the Reason #2 to Celebrate… Friends are giving me copies of the pictures from last weekend’s wedding!!! I already have a nice one in which I’m standing next to the bride. And, because I like the photo so much, I’ve decided to share it with you. ;)
Oh, wait, there was a third reason to celebrate, wasn’t there? Ohhhh, yeah … I remember … This weekend is a special weekend because I’ve decided to officially declare it … drum roll, please … A “DELURKING” WEEKEND!!!! “What is a delurking weekend?” you might ask. Well, a delurking weekend is a weekend during which I give lurkers & first-time visitors a wonderful opportunity to leave a comment on my blog. I have a site meter, so I’ve always wondering, “Who are these people that make up the silent majority? How did they find me? Do they like the blog? Do I know them?” So, when someone delurks themselves, it’s like a little gift. It happens every now and then, and I always feel like it’s a magic show and someone has just appeared from behind the curtain to say [insert magician voice], “It’s ME!! I’m one of the secret lurkers!!” :) It’s kinda fun.
So if this your first time visiting the FUNKYBROWNCHICK or if you’re a lurker (i.e. someone who visits but rarely, if ever, leaves comments), this warm invitation is especially for you: please use the comment section to say “hi”. You don’t have to be hilarious or witty, you just have to say hi. Make an old lady happy. I *LOVE* it when people delurk themselves. What are you waiting for? Go on. Scroll up to the header of this post and leave your “HI”. It’s only proper.

I’m not delurking, but Hi anyway.
Hi…My name is Tia and I’m a blurker (one who visits a blog but never leaves a comment). Thanks for calling me out! :D
I’m not a lurker – but I have been away for a while so just want to say hi. Glad to hear your move went so well!!! (with the exception of the mishap!) How’s the new place?
vanessa: No prob! Anyone can say hi. You don’t have to be a lurker. :) So, “hi” right back at ya! :)
Ms Tia: ¡¡¡¡¡GRACIAS!!!!! :) One of my good friends in high school was names Tia. She was nice so, consequently, I like the name Tia.
Laura: WELCOME BACK!! :) And, yeah, I’m glad that the move went well too. Once we’ve got the place all set up, I might take and post a couple of pictures.
Hey Stolie!
Not exactly delurking, but Happy Thanksgiving anyhow!
I know the US Thanksgiving is not until November, but I wanted to wish you a great weekend!
Happy Delurking day – it almost sounds like Happy TurDuckEn day doesn’t it?
Cheers
Mitch
Maaaan, it’s already Thanksgiving in Canada?!?! You guys try to scoop us on EVERYTHING!! :)
Oh, and, by the way, I think it’s GREAT that you remember the original TurDuckEn post!!! I’m not sure which meats are flying onto tables this holiday season, but I’ll definitely keep you all posted if I hear anything.
Hi, as usual, my beautiful, funky friend.
The picture is HOT, Stolie!
I’m not a lurker but hi to all those who are decloaking.
Happy weekend!!
Typical Stolie! When we gonna see your face?! Love the color of your dress, BTW.
(Back to lurker mode now.)
Hi, I’m not delurking (sounds so pervy), it doesn’t count if you’re in another country missing home.
Hi Stolie! Good to know your move went well.
And, as Mitch said… Happy Thanksgiving! And believe it or not, I’m coming down to the US (Seattle, to be specific) to celebrate it with family friends…
Well, I do check the website out some times and don’t leave a comment.. but that’s because I’m 100% lazy!!! Anyway, Here I am saying “hi” and delurking a little… Have a great weekend Stolie! L8R!
You know me- I visit often, but don’t comment often… Why do we have to fill out so much to leave a comment? Isn’t there a way to have it remember the info?
Cool new site btw and love your dress at the wedding
Stolie, just need to check, do you still have the same postal address? You’ll be hearing from me soon!
hey stolie…been a chronic lurker and so yea, am taking this stolie-given opportunity to de-lurk. so, in my best-lurker-drawl…”Hello..” :)
long time, long time, stolie girl. i like the new format.
and of course, as he says, HAPPY THANKSGIVING from another canadian. :)

Not a lurker but I had say great pic of the wedding. The bride’s dress (and yours) was beautiful !!!!!

I have to go watch me some football!!!
Hi,
So I see.. this is your blog.. hmm.. I also saw somethimes “I” was mentioned in your blog… ;)
Hi Stolie,
My name is Kristy and I’m from Australia, and a (slightly abashed) blog lurker! Please consider me officially delurked :)
Glad to hear your move went well.. I think we are well aquainted by now (within “online” reason ofcourse).
So tell me.. any “funky” neighbors you’ve discovered yet?
Okay I am logging in to your laptop and disabling the face-removing feature of your photo editing software.
MamaChristy: Right back at ya, cutie! :)
Laurie: Wow, THANKS! :)
Teresa: Thanks. I got the dress at a Lord & Taylor in Chicago about a year or so ago. I love it.
London Lurker: Awwww!!! I feel your pain. :) I lived in the UK & Europe for a number of years and I got sooooo homesick. At the same time, I *LOVED* living over there! Ideally, I’d spend 1/2 my year in the US and 1/2 in Europe. I was offered an opportunity to do just that a while back, but it fell through. At any rate, THANKS for coming out and saying hi!!
kypris: Believe it or not, I’ve never been to Seattle.
Nat: YAY!!!! Thanks for saying HI!!! :)
Nics: Oh wait!! I moved. I’ll email you the new address when I get home.
fallenkshatriya: YAY!!! WELCOME TO PUBLIC ENJOYMENT OF THE BLOG!!! :)
miss anon: THANKS! Glad you like it. :)
History Chic: Awwww, thanks!!
Bride: Luv ya!! :)
Kristy: YAY!!! WELCOME!!! GLAD YOU’RE HERE!!! Thanks for delurking. It’s always nice to know who’s out there.
Momok: So far, so good on the neighbor front.
Raymond: :)
Hi…I guess I’m a lurker…just lazy’s the main reason.
Distar,
I’m not sure why it’s not letting you leave your info. I know that it lets other readers do it. Have you disabled cookies? If so, it won’t save your info in the box.
Also, oddly enough (and I’m not even sure why), but your comment was held as spam. Strange. Could be a setting on your computer.
Goldenleo, you slipped one in on me. THANKS for delurking!!!! :)
