Things I'm learning by filming

Number 1 -

Don't film with the camera on the side. When you rotate the picture, it squashes you.
You look like you're in a fun mirror at the carnival.
Not pretty.
This is the reason the last YouTube video disappeared.
I looked like the newest member of the Lollipop Guild.

Number 2 -

HD shows you how how outdated your bathroom really is :)
Setting up a new place to film now.

Number 3 -

You really really need to mess around with the camera before you post anything.

Number 4 -

If you're a mommy, write out a timeline with bullet points.
Because you are going to forget what you were saying about 4 words into it because someone will need you to help them wipe their butt.

Number 5 -

Lord, do you see how messy your house is!

Going to film today, play with the new edit and post on YouTube Monday.

Later,

Today's Outfit : I'm a Bag Lady

...with a large clothing budget, hee hee!

So today I'm sportin' what my loving Mr. Mine calls my "bag lady" dress.
I think it's adorable, he only tolerates it because it sticks in my tush every time I bend over, HA!


I prefer to think of it as my floaty ballerina dress...ok, so that means I spin around and act like an idiot in it. Don't care, LOVE it!



It's so comfy cool for HOT FREAKIN' summer temps...and we are having a heat wave here!



If my HD camera doesn't get here soon I will post the other ones, but I'd love to just redo them in HD...You know, do this RIGHT ;0)

Happy Weekend!

New AC Compressor....

So today has been a bit busy...

2 of our 4 AC units decided they were tired of working.
The HVAC doctors came out and diagnosed one with a bad capacitor and the other one was given it's last rites... The 4 ton unit.

"Cue the funeral march"

Oh and my husband is mad at our cable, phone, Internet provider....had to a lot of research to find out that they charge different rates for the same things but it all works out to about the same total, give or take a few dollars....

That being said...I didn't get a chance to edit my videos

I was throwing dishes at the wall in frustration.

Just kidding....sort of :0)

Anyway, not ignoring my series, but I plan to eat an entire Chinese buffet tonight.

See you tomorrow,
Lo

Lo's Version

I think I've got the "I have to pee" pose pretty good.

It's a great pose that forgives a lot of flaws, but ever since I saw in in the weekly rags,
