Wallet Woes - champuru vlog #25
DISCLAIMER: All the stuff in the background, that’s not trash — it’s packages upon packages of Christmas gifts yet to be distributed. Yours could be in that very pile!
BONUS FEATURE: For some insane reason, it took me 37 takes to get through this entire videolog. (I think it’s because Hubby was in the room and he was making me nervous.) He thought it was pretty funny and suggested that I create a blooper reel. So, at the end, I share a few outtakes from the making of this vlog just for fun.
I wrote of my wallet woes in the past. You may think that I am intent on making a grand entrance when I enter a room, but it’s not my vanity that sets off bells and whistles wherever I go: it’s my Coach wallet. This issue has caused me much consternation for many months, but the frequency at which we’ve been at the mall during this Christmas season has only exacerbated my frustration. This videolog entry is a tribute to the end of my wallet woes.
All of this is attributed to a random Twitter comment I made and the subsequent responses by Twitter pals kimonostereo and typezero3. Who ever said that Twitter isn’t useful? Twitter pals have saved my bacon on more than one occasion! Do you Twitter? If not, you should!
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. A new mom to her miracle baby, born on October 4, 2008. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
had to comment on your courage to v-log. i am definitely not a camera person, but you seem to do a good job!
congrats on the wallet!
The bloopers at the end are great!
More vlogs! More vlogs! More vlogs!
That’s hilarious! I especially love the out-takes. You should do that more often - made me chuckle and it took me out of my Christmas blues mood!
@Julie R: Thanks for the encouragement! I used to shy away from doing vlogs because I don’t like the way I speak, but I got over it eventually. I think video is such a neat media to take advantage of. Try it sometime!
@mitchell: Thanks, Mitchell! I had fun with those, too. Although, at the time, it was getting a little aggravating.
@Ryan S: Thanks, Ryan, for always cheering me on! Thanks for watching! After the IVF excitement, we need to do the post-bon dance BBQ at my pool!
@Kalei: I’m glad my craziness was able to bring you a smile! Enjoy your Christmas season ~ don’t let the crazy societal pressures of the holidays get you down.
I think I might have the same problem with my wallet….hmmm…gonna go check that one out now. And I LOVE the outtakes - hilarious!!
Vlog Vlog!
I’m not camera friendly… And awkward. I always retype my entries, so I can imagine myself saying *CUT* constantly for a blog entry. Haha.
