Blogging Out Hunger: So, I Got Stop & Shop To Do Their Part, Now It's Your Turn!!!

[Edited to Add: Okay, so I'm totally willing to beg for someone else's food, this week - I know I'm no Dooce, but won't you consider helping reach my goal of 300 comments, for charity, even for a Dork, like me?]

Last week, over 100 of my blogging friends and I got together and blogged about the This Bank Can't Fail campaign (spearheaded by my blogging friend and fellow Jersey Girl Deborah Smith of JerseyBites.com) to Blogging Out Hunger on behalf of The Community Food Bank of New Jersey and families in need across the garden state.

Growing up ours was no stranger to hunger.

Okay, let's be honest, what's the diff -- what about the rest of the year -- what's so special about blogging and who listens to Mommybloggers, anyway?

[bites lower lip]

Well, I asked my friends at Stop & Shop if they would like to help sponsor This Full House with a call out for donations in support of Blogging Out Hunger and they seemed to feel that it's, you know, a pretty good idea.

Aaaand, here's the good part, there's a way you (yes, YOU!) oh, savvy Internets, can help.

How?

[grin]

Why, by doing what you do best...of course!!!

This Full House Gives Back: Cuss, it's for a good cause!

I have a potty mouth.  No, it's NOT a very proud statement.  Is it?  Anyhow, once I became a mom - wow...has it been 14 years, already? - I tried really hard NOT to swear, especially around the kids.

They have this terrible habit of repeating things, you know?

So, as my children got older and their understanding the improper use of vocabulary got bigger, I started a "potty-mouth" jar.  The kids paid 25 cents for each swear word and a dollar was donated for each time one slipped passed mom (or pop) and, let me tell you, I practically paid for our family vacation to Cape May, last year!

Today, we were able to make a rather large donation - with the help of my blogging friends - and I AM PROUD to say that I'm in pretty good company!

Mommy's Effing Little Meter Reader Gives Back!

Created by OnePlusYou

Seriously, I was shocked to hear the high-level of f-bombs my dear sweet Catholic-friend Dana drops on her blog (58.4%, you dirty girl!) and perhaps she would be just as surprised to learn that my blog is a totally filled with crap!

Or, not.

So, I'm going to start my own potty-mouth-jar (just like Dana) and donate $1.00 for each comment I get on this dirty, dirty post.

Shit...cha-ching...see, it's easy...let's raise the roof on the Cuss-O-Meter!

I will keep comments opened all week (ending 5:00 p.m., Friday the 13th) and donate all the money from the loose change (get it?) to our Giving Back Campaign.

I'll take another reading and then repost, with the final results, next week!

Please feel free to tell ALL your blogging friends, damnit...cha-ching...or, I'll have to send my husband Garth (not his real name) out to go all medieval on your ass...cha-ching...m'kay?!?

Edited to Add:  WHOA, what potty-mouthed friends I have - THANK YOU! - please understand, when reading the comments left on this post, that THIS IS FOR CHARITY and perhaps the one (and only) time I've allowed for ANY cursing; in my house, anyway ;o)

[Change in the potty-mouth jar, so far:  $19.00!]
