Vloggin' Vednesday: Vacations

Welcome to this week's Vloggin' Vednesday: the topic for today's vlog is vacations, which I suppose is fitting because I've been on vacation from the vloggin' deal for two whole weeks.  But I'm back and in full effect, so prepare yourself for some vloggin' awesomeness...oh, okay, more like mediocrity, but I'm rusty.  And generally sleep-deprived.  Nothing a good ol' fashioned vacation can't fix--and we have our segue!


(Okay, seriously--what is up with these horrible/hilarious youtube video stills?) And before I forget, I want to send a birthday shout out to my old man, Captain Husband, who turns thirty-three years young today.  Happy birthday sweetie!

Vloggin' Vednesday: Pictures on video

Welcome to this week's Vloggin' Vednesday: the topic for today's vlog is pictures on video so I put together a little something something for my favorite feline, Sandy, who is making biscuits on the leftover remnants of my baby belly as I type this.  Fabulous.

And to end things on a completely random note, today is my 32nd birthday.  Don't know what to get me?  How about a few likes for my little ol' blog's facebook page?  I'm this close to being able establish a personalized URL for it (you need twenty-five "likes" before that can happen) and it would be super awesome if I hit that goal today, wink wink, nudge nudge.  A special thank you to all of the people who have already given me a big thumbs up!

Vloggin' Vednesday: Birthday Wishes

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday: the topic for today's vlog is birthday wishes, which is pretty timely considering my birthday is in exactly one week.  (Woo!)  Also of note is the fact that this is the shortest vlog post that I've ever managed to do--I actually clocked in at just under three minutes.  I also need to take a good hard look in the mirror before taping these things; what in the world was going on with my hair?  I blame it on my oh-so-festive Hello Kitty party hat.

Vloggin' Vednesday: Notable blog post

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday; the prompt today is to talk about a notable blog post, be it your own or from one of the blogs that you lurk on/stalk.  I don't really consider any of my blog posts to be of any note, so I opted for the latter option.


Here's the link to the blog post to which I referred in my vlog; I'd advise you to have tissues ready.  I know many, many other people have spoken so much more eloquently about this, but I felt compelled to add my voice to the mix.  If you're interested in sending Jessica some kind words of encouragement, click here for the address.

Vloggin' Vednesday: Ten years ago

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday: today's prompt is to tell everyone a little bit about what you were like ten years ago.  I'm not going to lie--I think this is possibly my most boring entry yet...it may have something to do with the fact that I once again waited until the last minute to record my vlog and am exhausted from a day spent chasing after Sammy and trying to catch up on some much-neglected housework (though my bathroom is now sparkling clean).  Maybe one day I'll learn my lesson and actually record this thing the day before it's scheduled.  Anyway, if you watch all seven and a half minutes of this, I'll owe you a cookie.



The song playing in the background is Xanadu by Zero Zero, a band that I spent a lot of time listening to back in 2001.  I was very committed to this week's theme.

Vloggin' Vednesday: Let's talk music

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday; the prompt for today is music.  Initially I toyed around with the idea of running through my most played songs in iTunes, but that wasn't embarrassing enough so I took things in a different direction.  Enjoy!



Here's the link to the radio station that I mentioned; seriously, go check it out and download its audio stream--you won't regret it.  And here's the link for the app so you can enjoy the sounds of the 1920s while you're out and about; I don't leave home without it.

Vloggin' Vednesday: Significant other

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday; this week's prompt is "significant other" so I've decided to tell you a little bit about the man behind the woman behind this blog.  Hope you enjoy it!

Vloggin' Vednesday: How to speak Pittsburghese

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday; I've been sick with a nasty, snotty head cold since Friday, so I apologize for sounding especially nasal/congested in this video.  Also, if my "how to" doesn't seem to really make any sense, it's likely due to the fact that I'm totally whacked out on whatever over-the-counter-remedy I decided to try last night.  Fun times!

Vloggin' Vednesday: Guilty Pleasures

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday; I'm finally home in Virginia after what felt like an eternity in the car yesterday.  Sammy and my brother and I all managed to survive without having to resort to threats or violence, so it was a successful trip as far as I'm concerned. So without any further ado, here is this week's vlog (I apologize in advance if I seem especially goofy and don't make any sense--I made this way, way, way past my bedtime last night):

Vloggin' Vednesday: Q & A Day

Welcome to this week's edition of Vloggin' Vednesday; this week presented a bit of a challenge as I'm currently on the road with Sammy. I should have taken care of this earlier in the week when I had some free time, but I'm a procrastinator and waited until the last minute, so as a result my vlog is something of a hot mess that is seriously lacking in Sammy screen time.

And here's the recipe for my Aunt Linda's casserole for those who are interested:

Vloggin' Vednesdays: Rooms in your home

Last week a group of some of my favorite bloggers joined forces to create the latest sensation sweeping the internet: Vloggin' Vednesday.  I loved getting to see everyone in action rather than via static images (plus it was great hearing everyone's actual voices and accents), so I've decided to join in on all of the fun.  Full disclaimer: I may look as though I'm dressed for the day, but I'm still wearing pajama pants.  Baby steps, people.
