My first official de-lurking day is today! (and the rest of the weekend). And it truly is my first; I don't think I've had one in four years.
What does this mean? Well, if you read my blog, then you need to leave a comment. Yes! Even if you read my blog only occasionally or if you read my blog every day, I want to hear from you. It's nice to know who's reading. So, leave a comment with the following:
1. How did you find my blog?
2. How long have you been reading it?
3. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
That is all! And if you lurk and don't comment, then you'll be breaking the rules. Which is fine, I guess, because how the heck would I know you read and didn't comment? I don't read my analytics very often, so you'd be safe. But still, I might cry if I see only 3 comments. Maybe not. Who knows. The zoloft is working, so I probably will be fine with it!
I found your blog through a community site asking about moving to the Bay Area, after you had been here a while. I was intrigued especially since our kiddos are pretty much all the same age. Turns out you were a friend of a friend.
ReplyDeleteI think about a year and a half I have been following you. I don't know time flies.
Lastly Tillamook Chocolate and Peanut Butter Ice Cream!
I'm a regular :) - thanks to google reader.
ReplyDelete1. I don't even know how I found out about it...maybe an email from Arlene with family blogs on it or something...
2. I've been reading for about 2.5 years. Since Ryan and I have been married.
3. Chocolate Malted Crunch from Thriftys...I think it's Right Aid now.
I read regularly through google reader (which makes it so easy, but then I'm a bad commenter). I found your blog because it was linked to Julie's blog. I have been reading for more than a year. My favorite ice cream? I haven't met very many that I don't like. It depends on my mood and the season. For example, right now I don't want regular ice cream, I want a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard. And, Dairy Queen is only 3 blocks from my house....I need to run more. I also love Kroger's Oatmeal Cookie, and Ben & Jerry's Pistachio (hard to find).
ReplyDeleteFound you on Mormon Mommy Wars a few years ago. I've been stalking you ever since. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Huckleberry Cheesecake icecream from Reed's Dairy. And Blizzards from Dairy Queen. Mmmm...Dairy Queen...
Cheryl-
ReplyDeleteI am not sure where I found your blog, but it might have been through my aunt Rozla's. I remembered you from high school so I took a peek. I have been "lurking" through google reader for about a year and a half. My favorite ice cream varies with the season as well, but currently it is root beer ice cream (though bubble gum and mint chocolate chip are a close second). I had a root beer obsession when I was pregnant (weird) and unfortunately my baby is 5 months old and I am still loving the stuff. I actually had a dream about the root beer shakes at Rupes-but don't tell anyone!
1. fmh.
ReplyDelete2. since mid-2006?
3. mint chocolate chip.
we don't have internet (or a computer anymore!), so i read exclusively on my phone. it has a handy google reader application, so i'm easily able to read, but it's tough for me to comment much. i feel like you should live next door and be my best friend!
i love your blog :) it is so you!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading for probably 2 years and i think i found you thru Rozla as well...not sure.
My favorite ice cream??? I am not really an ice cream eater, but if i am going to indulge...the i love me a good orea shake from RUPES or their classic swirl cone (with the rootbeer icecream for sure!!!)
Gosh... I don't remember how I found your blog but you've been in my google reader for a LONG time!
ReplyDeleteFavorite ice cream? Chocolate. Pure, unadulterated chocolate. But that may change as my tastebuds are being weird.
You enailed me about your blog a way long time ago. :) You're in my google reader but I rarely comment, I just like to keep taps on the happpymeetscrazy clan! :) (see, no use of last name) Though I think I still don't know #5's name . . .
ReplyDeleteIce cream, mmmm, cookies and cream from the Creamery, of course, preferably on a cone.
You know me, right?!
ReplyDeleteI think I've been reading for a year and a half now?
Rocky Road.
I have read from the start. I am your sister. I don't really like ice cream. More of a cookie person.
ReplyDelete1 and 2 - I found you and your blog through the Tales blog when you sent out the SOS for help in moving to California. :)
ReplyDelete3. Ice cream? Mint chocolate chip, at least half of Ben and Jerry's available flavors, chocolate chip cookie dough, I just love ice cream.
smooches
If you don't know me by now, you will never never never know me...
ReplyDeletePistachio almond.
I've been reading for almost three years now. I don't have any idea anymore how I found you. But, I can't stay away!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite icecream is mint chocolate chip - if it has good chocolate in it. None of that waxy chocolate for me. Or if I'm at the Tillamook cheese factory then it's Udderly Chocolate all the way. And at DQ, a cookie dough blizzard, please.
Can you tell I've been craving some icecream?
1. I have no idea how I found you, but glad I did.
ReplyDelete2. I guess it has been a year??
3. Vanilla. The possible add-ins are endless.
I have enjoyed reading. I rarely comment on any blog I read, sorry. I should change my evil ways.
1. Found your blog through Stephanie,
ReplyDelete2. Been reading a few months
3. Aggie Blue Mint (Blue mint oreo with white chocolate chunks -- USU specialty, YUM!)
1. I'm your brother, so i know things.
ReplyDelete2. Probably since i returned home off the mission.
3. I like vanilla with different sauces/syrups or cookies n' cream
1. I have no idea how I found you...it was so long ago.
ReplyDelete2. I think I've been reading for about 2 years now.
3. It's hard to pick a favorite, but if I have to choose I would have to say Daiquiri Ice from Baskin Robbins which really isn’t even an ice cream at all…and you can't hardly ever even find it anymore... it’s so depressing ;-)
1. The all-knowing Google Reader suggested your blog. I assumed it was because I was already reading BTL's and Mad's.
ReplyDelete2. I think I started reading some time during this summer.
3. Quality vanilla soft serve with or without toppings.
I believe I was sent here by the lovely ByTheLbs. (Or maybe I just linked over from there.)
ReplyDeleteI've been here about a year. Or maybe more??? I don't really remember.
New York Super Fudge Chunk B&J but Private Selection's Chocolate Almond Indulgence will do in a pinch.
1. Steph told me I should check it out and I've been stalking you since.
ReplyDelete2.A couple months
3.Anything nutless and cold! I've been enjoying a Ben and Jerry's flavor recently though. It has brownie chunks AND cookie dough in it, but I don't remember the name.
Hello lady!
ReplyDelete1) I think I found you from Rozla or Christy's blog not sure which!
2) I have been reading for probably a year and a half, I am hooked on all that is Cheryl! hehe! Love ya!
3) Favorite Ice Cream....just one? Well you can never go wrong with cookies and cream or strawberry cheescake is good too!
1. Found your blog through your comments on Tales from the Crib.
ReplyDelete2. Been reading..hmmm...maybe a little over a year?
3. chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
I can't remember how I found your blog...and it's been about 2 years. You know I used to be a very good commenter, but have been trying to figure out balance in my life and have cut down on commenting. Acutally, I have cut way back on which blogs I read but can't not ready yours! :) Favorite ice cream...how can I choose? Dryer's Bear Lake Raspberry, or Girl Scout Cookie Samosa, or a lovely good vanilla bean, or...(see what I mean?)
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl~
ReplyDeleteI've been dropping in occasionally since our fun temple date and lunch with Shauntae.
I love cookies and cream ice cream! :o)
1. Mormon Mommy Wars
ReplyDelete2. Maybe a year or so
3. Chocolate chip mint
I appreciate your honesty and openness about the ups and downs of motherhood. Thank you!
1. I don't remember how I found your blog ... sorry
ReplyDelete2. Maybe 2 years? When did you move back to Utah? I think it was around then.
3. I'm not a huge ice cream fan - I like it but I'd much rather go straight for the cake :) One of my favorites is definitely root beer from Rupes (It isn't a trip home without a stop at Rupes!)
1- I can't remember how I found your blog.
ReplyDelete2- Been reading for awhile.
3- Vanilla Bean.
1-The Lyon's tale comment
ReplyDelete2- A couple of months...max 6 months!
3- Love all ice cream...but probably have to go with banana brownie!
I probably found your blog because of a giveaway? or...from a friend? I can't really remember!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading...6-12 months?!
(once a blog is added to my reader- I lose track or the what's and when's)
My favorite ice cream: chocolate peanut butter!
1. Facebook i think
ReplyDelete2. I have no idea
3. Cookies N Cream
I think it was 20 years ago next month (does that make you feel old, it does me!!) that you introduced me around a new school, and you invited me to your blog years ago. A few months ago I decided I would get with it and keep up with my good friends' blogs, so I've been reading just since then. I rarely meet an ice cream I don't like, but my favorite is the Kroger praline pecan from Smiths.
ReplyDelete1. Found you through your cute sis.
ReplyDelete2. I've been reading for like a year and a half...but I've read all your archives too, so it feels like longer. :)
3. Aggie Blue Mint
I can't remember how I found your blog, but I've been reading for a while...maybe a year or a little more, I think. I loved hearing all about your pregnancy and such. My first baby was born about a month after #5. I can also relate to a lot of what you've said about depression, which I have dealt with myself (mostly as a consequence of a LOT of anxiety issues). I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteAnd I missed the ice cream question... I would say the Creamery's Earnestly Chocolate.
ReplyDelete1. I found a link from http://thismamamakesstuff.blogspot.com/
ReplyDelete2. About 2 mins.
3. Chocolate
I think I found your blog through comments on either MMW or Segullah. Or maybe just the general atmosphere of the Mormon mommy blogosphere :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure how long I've been reading. Six months? A year?
Please don't get me thinking about ice cream. I'm pregnant and there's none in my freezer :) I love peanut butter/chocolate or cookies and cream. Last winter I also got addicted to Safeway Gingerbread Cookie; sadly there's no Safeway in Utah. Tillamook also makes a really tasty Marionberry Pie ice cream, but they don't sell it here either :(
1. Your my sis-in-law.
ReplyDelete2. Over a year. Or, since I began dating your brother. ;)
3. Homemade...raspberry chocolate.
Luv you sis!
1. You told me.
ReplyDelete2. Since Post #1
3. Cookies and Cream
Love you! :)
I saw you listed on Rozla's blog
ReplyDeleteIt's been a year or two
chocolate chip
and, I know one of your other lurkers randomly....Siobhan and I almost met when I was in Hawaii with Veronica in 2003. I know her from a message board on aol. :)
Hi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteI email met you via Julie P.
I like ice cream OK, but I actually prefer the brownie or cake next to it.
Donde estas los lurkers? All of the people above me have commented before.
I want to see a bona fide lurker de-lurk!
MMW
ReplyDeleteprobably a little over 2 years
peanut butter cup
I first came after I met you, because I liked you so much.
ReplyDeleteI think that was February....?
Chocolate with Peanut butter is my standard answer but I've been craving Praline Pecan for a few weeks now.
Long time friend(does 9 years count as that?)...how could I not read your blog.
ReplyDeleteI've probably been reading since....I really don't know. When did you start?
Mint Oreo, which is do hard to find. I usually have to make my own.
1. I found your blog at Bekah's bridal shower, that's when you started giving me awesome weight loss tips.
ReplyDelete2. You're in my google reader, so I've been keeping up with your blog for a while.
3. My recent (seasonal) favorite...hot cocoa (I love the marshmallows)
1. OUr hubby's used to work together. Still big 'sniff' for the "used to" part. Miss you guys! I have no friends at the new company.
ReplyDelete2. Darnm, this part IO just don't remember.
3. Butter pecan. Ironically, I actually tried this flavor for the first-time on one of the FL cruises, and I've been hooked ever since.
I know I never comment anymore, but life has just gotten so busy. I do still lurk though!
I found your blog, I think, through Mormon Women. I enjoy your candor. I've been reading your blog on and off for several months and I like chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream but not too much because I'm lactose intolerant. Keep writing and smiling.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl, Wow it looks like a few have read because of my blog link to yours - you should thank me j/k. I found your blog from your mom - been reading since #4 was a baby - however long ago that was and my favorite is Dreamsicle from Schwans - orange sherbet/vanilla mix.
ReplyDeleteSO glad the zoloft is working :) Love ya
Hey Cheryl, I'm using your idea on my blog - hope that is okay :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I found your blog...can't remember!
ReplyDeleteCheck up on you often!
Ice cream doesn't agree with my digestive system, so I don't eat it much, but if I do it has to be really good cookies and cream or chocolate peanut butter.
You are my cousin... you told me about your blog
ReplyDeleteI have you blog on google reader so i read it a lot... even though I don't leave comments
I love cookie dough icecream
I found your blog through facebook, I have been reading it since about the time your new baby was born, and my favorite flavor of ice cream is probably anything with caramel in it but since I am nursing a baby with reflux sadly I am ice cream deprived.
ReplyDeletei found your blog through fb, i think...it has been so long i'm not sure....and i love it! and you!
ReplyDeletei've been reading since the start of 2009 and am addicted!
ice cream....mint oreo cookie....
gelato....fragola (strawberry) or cioccolato...no translation needed for that one.
have a great day!
1. Found it through face book
ReplyDelete2. Since last year
3. Anything with chocolate and caramel
hi!
ReplyDeletecan't remember how i found your blog originally, but probably thru a common friend ... maybe julie?
it's been at least a year or two.
don't have a favorite ... seriously!
i'm more of a brownie or cookie girl. :)
1. Sisters.
ReplyDelete2. Since the beginning.
3. Chocolate Malted Crunch but I'm gradually going back to my vegan ways.
1. I found your blog via Mormon Mommy Wars...it was once listed.
ReplyDelete2. For about a year now.
3. Baskin Robbins (ONLY!) Chocolate Peanut Butter. It is too bad we live overseas and I only get it every few years...or maybe that is good!
Kellie-
ReplyDeleteHA! I wondered if anyone noticed I wasn't on there anymore. Interesting, interesting. :) Thank you for reading, though. I may have to add you to my reader --your photography is awesome!
I guess I am kind of a lurker. I comment every once in a while. :) I'm not sure how I found your blog. I think we just read some of the same people's blogs and so I ended up checking yours out. I have probably been reading for about a year. I love icecream with caramel or peanut butter in it.
ReplyDeleteHey Cheryl! I read your blog when I can...maybe every couple of weeks! It is totally "you". My favorite is seeing your kiddos grow up. How did we get so old?
ReplyDeleteTania
do i count as a lurker? probly :]
ReplyDelete1- you told me in person?
2- sporadically... since i discovered google reader, i guess. so mebbe a year
3- aggie blue mint :D and it rocks cuz macey's in logan will sell it in the half pint size. yes, it costs lots, but i don't eat ice cream much here anyway. too cold.
So unfortunately, i've not been able to take your advice about dealing with my boy problems with aggie ice cream.
maybe next week :P
I found your blog by you telling me about it!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading it for about 2 years.
My favorite flavor is ice cream is a toss up between cookie dough and cookies and cream!
A de-lurking post -- what a fun idea! I mean, for people whose blogs are not private, of course...
ReplyDelete1. I clicked your name over at Nine Moons when I realized I might actually know this "Cheryl."
2. Since whenever #1 happened. And usually I'm a more regular reader, but I see it's been a couple weeks since I've been here. Man, life gets busy!
3. Cookies and cream, definitely.
