I Won't Expect Dinner Party Invites Anytime Soon

My relationship with our Flip is starting to feel reminescent of some of my relationships in my early 20's. I so want to go the distance with it, and probably for all the wrong reasons, but the Flip is just not acting like it's ready to commit. Maybe, like many of my boyfriends past, it's sensing an undercurrent of psycho vibes that's scaring it off? At any rate, I've been trying for one, two, THREE days now to upload and edit a video from Saturday night. With great reluctance it finally let me upload, but it and my Mac have drawn the line at letting me edit. Which leaves me to tearfully ponder what I did to them that was so wrong? I've been patient, I've been gentle, I've been loving... and yet, though I give everything, I get nothing in return. I've been in enough bad relationships to know that you can't change a person (um, machine), so it's with great sadness that I move on with much lower expectations from the Flip. Maybe by letting it go, it'll realize someday what a great person I am and it'll want to come back and cooperate with me. Tear, tear, sniff, sniff.

All that was just my really stupid and corny way of explaining why I have posted yet another long (4 minutes) video that is in some desperate need of editing to be really funny and interesting.
My sisters and their husbands came over last weekend and we played RockBand. My sister Sara is "the crazy fun one" and she did not disappoint this time. I, on the other hand, am totally obnoxious through the whole thing. I can't even blame alcohol, as I'm pretty sure that I'd only had a few sips of Mr. C's Corona. Anyway, I'm posting this because I have nothing better to write about. And all her Facebook friends asked for it anyway, so I'm hoping you guys are watching. You know, after all I've been through with me and the Flip.

So you all are on the honor system.... just drag the little arrow thing forward to about 2 minutes/20 secs. into the video. That way you will only hear me cackling half as much, you won't get as sea sick from my camera work, you can skip the annoying "r u ready to rock?" and Mr. C waggling his tongue like the rock and roll star he's not, and skip right to my sister being silly. Which always makes me laugh.

K- Remember the honor system! Fast forward 2.20 minutes! Here you go:


Just a few comments: Ben, evidently I was too busy being annoying to notice but you looked a little bored. Is 7 years of marriage to my sister enough to make you immune to her antics? Or was I just having way too good of a time? Either way, thanks for coming over and putting up with us. Joe, you rocked the drums. From here on out, no one will be able to live up to your performances. You're a legend. Rock on, man. Rock on.

Also, how cute is J coming in there with his big bro's football jersey on to tell me that he loves me? We do that "Guess what? I love you." thing often but I couldn't help but feel kind of bad watching it play back on the video. He comes all the way over to be cute and tell me that he "wuvs me" and all I have to say in return is "thank you?" Maybe it's relationship karma. The whole fiasco with the Flip must've hardened my heart.

Anyway, you all have a great day!

  1. I can't view the video but just wanted to say, don't you wish we had video of Sara singing to that song on your Ally McBeal sound track when we lived in Sonoma? Remember she sang into a wooden spoon as the mic. with the "but Blair" accent. Hilarious. Every family needs a nut and thankfully we got Sara to keep us laughing...(Sara, if you read this comment, I use the word "nut" with the most love possible)

  2. Just for the record....I scored in the 90%'s for ALL the other songs I sang that night. I couldn't even make out my own words on the video...never heard the song in my life. Tacy, when we were growing up I should have been listening to classic rock with you instead of Whitney, Mariah, and Brittany. (o.k....and N'sync in my older years..shhhh!)
    BTW....the next day my neck and back felt like I had been in a serious car accident. I'm getting old.
    And one more thing...Ben only looks bored because my entertainment is pale in comparison to what he does at home. Hairy bald white guy dancing around is MUCH funnier. (clothing optional of course!)

  3. Sara- 2 things. First, "hairy bald"? What's that supposed to look like? Second, the "clothing optional" statement.... I'm hoping it in NO WAY explains what you meant by "hairy bald". Don't need the visual, sister. Don't need it.
