I See What You're Saying

Lidna at Second Cup of Coffee is doing a video meme. When she first wrote about it, for some strange reason, I commented on her blog and said I would do it. Even though I look really silly on video, and my voice sounds funny. I decided I better stick by what I said I'd do, but my video is only 1 minute long (which felt like forever). But you'll thank me for it, believe me (and I do mean the 1 minute long, not the fact that I did a video)!

Obviously I hate how it looks, but I could re-do it a hundred times, and still feel the same. So we're just going to stick with this first take. My face could not look any stupider here in this opening picture, so please click play as fast as you can. Thank you.

  2. I loved this video! What a creative idea to video your post instead of write it. I think you are hilarious, I was laughing at the "taffy wrapper" line!

  3. Brenda, you actually tapped into an idea that I almost went with for a theme: talk about your personal blog space, what it looks like, etc. I'm so glad you decided to come to the "party." I'm honored that you read my blog--can never figure out quite why people return, but I'm flattered. Have a great day blog hopping around meeting people. Love, Linda

  8. Hey there Brenda, I loved seeing where you blog from. I think everyone thinks they look stupid (I just embraced my stupidity) but they NEVER look like they think they do. You look look and sound like I person I'd like to sit and have coffee with. Or do laundry with. Whatev.

  9. Bren, you looked surprisingly good... I say that, because I know that I would look and sound hideous doing a video. And, I forgot to tell you that I ate a bunch of orange pumpkin face taffy and left the wrappers on your computer desk. Sorry. ;)

  10. The candy wrapper elves were at it again, huh? They're everywhere! I have the same problem over 6000 miles away.
    You did a great job with your video! It's REAL. And that's what's so great about blogging. Sharing the real stuff in our lives. Thanks!

  11. Actually, you are funny! Meaning your opener about how you didn't become funny in that short amount of time.. anyway.. lol - good video!

  13. That's such a great idea, the video blog. Maybe I'll get the guts to do something like that, but if I did it there would probably be screaming crying kids in the background.

  15. Hi Brenda...what a beautiful blog you have! I was like you in that I didn't like the way I looked on camera, so I kept it short and sweet! I think you did a great job.

  16. That is a great idea showing where you blog... I found it quite entertaining :-) What book was that you are reading anyway?

  17. I somehow missed you on the first go around. Sorry. It sure is hard to think of what to say once that camera gets rolling isn't it. At least your desk isn't a mess like mine is. :)
