I have been fretting ever since I uploaded that video and podcast last night that now my true identity as a giant dorktastic goober will be revealed and no one will every read this site again for fear that it is contagious.
And couldn’t I have at least fixed my hair before taking my first video ever launched on this site? Or put on some lipstick or something? Or maybe done it in some other place but my car? Damn. Of course, I also know that I am so insecure that no matter how hard I tried to make myself look better, I would have still hated the final product. So, I simply treated it like I would if we were hanging out. Chances are if we were to hang out in real life, I wouldn’t wear makeup, or possibly shower. Or get out of my pajamas. So why fake it, right?
On the other hand - how fun was that? I am loving breaking through that barrier. I have no idea what a file like that will do to my bandwidth, but I really don’t think it will do much since it’s so tiny. I’m going to have fun tinkering around with that some more. Coming soon…way too much video of nonsense stuff in my life! Video of my dogs! And my steamer! And possibly my pen collection! Video Video Video!
And the podcasting thing? I’m going to research that a little more as well, but I think LilZ and I are going to do that regularly, at least for the shows we both watch. It was really fun and I can’t think of a better way to kill two birds with one stone: Spending quality goof-off time with my son and fulfilling my daily requirement of narcissism - all at the same time! It’s a parenting dream come true!
Insecurity SUCKS!!! I have always been plagued by it as well and it has kept me from doing some pretty fun things or at least try them! I think it is so cool that you are managing to swallow your insecurity and doo this cool stuff - what an amazing example you are setting for your kids!!! Maybe they will always be able to just “be” and not develop “adult hangups”!
(ok, a few too many quotes, but you get the point!) Loved all the new stuff - can’t wait for the next installment!
First, You look great! Second, you sound like I knew you would. (How is that?) Third, you talk like you write. (Why does this shock me too?)
Have a good day!
PS: Don’t be insecure, you rock!
I agree with Maribeth - you write like you talk, but for some reason that surprised me. Which makes no sense. I think you have a great voice - a very cute subtle southern accent. I wasn’t expecting it for some reason, but I liked it. The podcast was cute as well!
Oh my goodness! Delurking to tell you that I loved the video. Why are you insecure? That was fun. You don’t sound at all like I thought you would. Why? I don’t know. You have the same Southern accent as I do, well I know that Southern accents have at least 10 subcategories of accents but anyway. Duh, you live in the South. I just never imagine people having Southern accents. Ok, that is enough but I just wanted to tell you to keep doing it. Oh and I think you should try to do one at the gym while waiting in line for the treadmill and really breakdown those insecurity barriers. Thanks!
So fun and cute!
I just have to say: YAY! We may get to see the pen collection! I might wet my pants. SQUEEEEAAAAAL.
You are ADORABLE!!! That was so cute!
And also…holy crap, LilZ has a pretty deep voice. What the f*&* is happening to this world.
I can totally understand the insecurity thing; working on that myself. I LOVED the video, and I also enjoyed podcast, even though I don’t watch television. I would love to see, and hear, more!
I don’t know how to comment on the video without sounding like a giant dork myself.
It was awesome! I felt like i was in the car with you and you totally cracked me up.
