She Speaks!

Sorry, after I finished shooting this video, I was reminded of the whole rigmarole over Greta Garbo's appearance in her first talking picture. Random.

Anyhoo, just for fun, I thought I'd give you all a glimpse into our home to give you a visual of things that I talk about, the cats in motion (or not, which is generally the case with Beardslee), and so forth. After watching the lengthy clip, I'm reminded as to why I'm much better at typing my thoughts than ad-libbing them. We'll see what you think. Here's a tour of our home, in segments...







I'm pretty critical of myself, but a couple of fun, shall we say, reflections upon what I could possibly do better. ;-)

- First of all...I will say that my uniform on weekends, unless we've got something pretty snazzy happening, is a sweatshirt. So, for that, I won't apologize, although I somehow feel underdressed just watching it. Oye. However, I do think that I should've at least done my makeup. In the future, I shall. :-P
- That lisp. The dreaded lisp. It's back! It haunted me as a child, and only seems to pop up when I'm drinking. I swear I wasn't drinking during the making of this video.
- When did I start sounding remarkably like my sister?
- Who cares about a door?
- Apologies to anyone who might have experienced motion sickness while watching.
- Those random boxes belong to the cats. They won't allow us to be rid of them.
- How many Beatles items can you spot?
- How many superheroes can you spot?
- Yeah, I said "plethora"...

- I don't remember actually waving at George across the way...
- Do you NEED to now about my migraines?
- OMG I forgot to show the fish!!
- Those silicone mats are Martha Stewart. Spoiled kitties.
- ...is this a little long-winded to anyone else? Just checking...
- "Kinda got along". Yeah, I was mean to him. We were nice, but not friends by any means.
- I do kinda like when I get Dave's text.
- "I'm a really bad wife that I don't remember all this stuff." Hee hee.
- Antique driving gloves. Why do I have them? Weird gift. Cool, but weird.
- Mommy's talking to...himself?
- Lamp. It's a lamp. How hard is it to think of that word? Same with dresser. Sheesh.
- Seriously, can someone come up with a sign-off for me or something? What a weirdo.

But, after watching it again, I realized that I actually had some fun making it. Hope it wasn't too much of a waste of time for you to watch!

  3. Due date in 6 days but no baby outside yet - still comfortable inside! I've been pregnant for so long it just feels like this IS all me, I may go until May - only time will tell! :)

  4. Awww your due date is my mother and niece's birthday! It'd be awesome if it did happen on that day. Hope everything goes smoothly and everyone comes through it happy and healthy! Can't wait to hear. ;-)

  5. I have only watched one and a half so far due to the crazy new time constraints on my life, but I like what I see so far 8^) My only critique is BE CONFIDENT! BE PROUD!! I am jealous of all you've done and are working on (that doesn't mean I am upset with the path I have chosen, I just wish I could have done both at the same time) ;^)

    Love you!!
