This is my attempt to participate in Linda's "Carnival" of videos over at 2nd Cup of Coffee. It's an attempt at getting better acquainted.
1. I have now given up all hopes and dreams of ever becoming the Anchor of an evening news cast, or the beautiful hostess of an early morning talk show.
2. I talk too fast.
3. That alternative diet needs to work faster (or I need to actually do alternate days instead of alternate hours)
4. I now have evidence to sue the company that produces my wrinkle cream. It isn't working.
I cannot tell you exactly how much time I spent editing, filming and re-filming this presentation. But if you will add up the time on the video clip itself and add...
oh about 1 minute to find the camera,
1 more minute to try to get the tripod legs to stand up (A not completely successful endeavor, I must say),
and one 30 second trial clip to make sure I wasn't talking with only my left boob -- because that's the one that's reconstructed! At least it looks better than the other one, which the doctor did try to "lift", but without much success. Is this a run-on sentence?
Anyway, if you add up those times, that's the total time spent on this project upon which the rest of my blogging career rests.
(Okay, I lied. I ended up having to use Windows moviemaker because the format of my camera is MVI and this spot takes avi format. Or something like that... I think?)
Because if after this video, my blog readership goes down, I shall be devastated! And you lurkers out there -- I do at least have your number in my site meter -- so after I have opened myself to world-wide ridicule with this video, you can at least make some little comment.
Like: " You Poor thing. I will come over here and commiserate with you daily!!"
This is a little like walking out of doors naked. Except don't even ask. That is NOT my next movie.
Amazing discoveries as I watch my video:

I love it! I can't believe your cell phone was just sitting there-you two are pretty brave and trusting, lol.
I knew you were a great teacher, and I saw it in your video too. It was so much fun getting to see & hear you too. Hope you'll do it more often-and I love your beautiful hair and you look great in orange.
I love it, too! Wow--fast talker, yes?? OH PJ, it is so good to "meet" you! Althoug I have to confess I didn't expect your voice to be as deep as mine. It would be great fun to be in your class; your kids and grandkids are blessed. Keep writing your awesome posts. You rock the blog world, my friend. Love, Linda

PJ, I really enjoyed your video too! It was great getting to see you in action. I'm with you, though...there were SEVERAL things I noticed about myself while watching the video. I also know to do some things differently if there's a next time. :)
PJ! I LOVED THIS! I was checking and checking Linda's blog to see if you made a video, and I was so disappointed that you didn't make one. Well I checked this morning and YAY you did it! And I loved it! You are so awesome. I hope I get to meet you some day.
That was awesome! I don't think you talk too fast at all! Maybe it's because I talk too fast?
Glad to meet you!
You are too cute!! I am so glad that your cell phone was still there! Nice to meet you!
you're too funny
LOL. I really enjoy this PJ. And I love your little written list too! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face this afternoon.
Your video just brought a big ol' smile to my face! You may talk fast but that's part of your charm :-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. It took me a day (or so) to get over to look at yours, I think we all are a bit overwhelmed with the reality of seeing ourselves in all our glory (so to speak)
I am glad you phone was still there, and I am blow away that you have a poem memorized, I so desire to be able to recall things like that in a spontaneous kind of way. Oh well. Great, honest and entertaining post.
Blessings
Robin
hehe!! I loved it! I think you should VLOG! It would be a nice addition to your already awesome blog! I think we all have those dreams of being a talk show host or news anchor or something..too great! Anyway, I loved it. I'd watch you over Oprah any day of the week.
