In a former life I wanted to be a rock star. We all know how that turned out. But maybe it’s time I dust off the guitar and see if I can’t have a little fun.

Toughest. Post. Evar.

Because apparently I’m way behind the technical blogger curve and this “video” thing is way beyond my meager abilities. After two computers and five tries, I think this is at least workable.

Ahem.

What am I talking about? Liz over at This Full House has done a vlog (video blog, get it?) about how we say certain words. I thought it looked like fun so I tried it. If I look strange (stranger than usual) it’s because I had to sit a certain way to get the camera and light combination so that you could see and hear me 🙂

So if I can do THIS step right, my video should be on this post. Somewhere.

I look like a dweeb.
