I Really Did Just Send This E-Mail
I have wanted one of these Flip Videos for some time. Today, I threw caution to the wind (and a handful of feathers so now my pillow will be flatter when I go to bed tonight) and wrote this. I’m only halfway expecting a response from the people at Flip Video Central.If it works, it was all my idea. If it fails, I’m blaming her. She used the Flip Video to catch me talking about dairy products. MOO. (I’m at the very end, right after one of my twins. I blink a lot. Did you know I blink a lot?)
Hi! Are you having a good day or a bad day?
If it’s good, then continue reading. If it’s bad, then why don’t you go enjoy a chocolate shake and come back to read this when you’re done?
You should be feeling better because we all know how medicinal chocolate can be. Don’t forget to wipe your mouth. There’s this brown ring around it and all it takes is a lick here and there and you’re good to go out on the town without everyone wondering if you are five years old again since you didn’t wipe.
Let’s move on, because you’re either laughing uproariously or trying to find my IP address to see if I wrote this from inside a psychiatric ward.
As a blogger on the move (I know! Such lingo! Look at me!) I am constantly trying to find out what the next HIP and NEW thing is. Since I’m also a woman with a full time job (you can’t do that and live at the psychiatric facility, don’t ask me how I know this) I was a little late to finding out about the Flip Video and when I did it was because I was on vacation. Some people might call it “Sick Time” and since I had mono and strep it’s safe to say it was the latter not the former.
Now, I can use “latter” and “former” in a sentence and construct it in such a way as you don’t think my skills are lacking. How’s that chocolate shake settling in your tummy? Did you get an ice cream headache from slurping it too quickly?
Everyone seems to have one of these Flip Videos. I want one of these Flip Videos. Everyone has teenage sons eating them out of house and home. I don’t want that, but I have that. I mean, I want the teenage sons, sure. But their attitude about food is a territorial one that usually leaves me making a PB & J at night because they have inhaled all the gourmet meals I make. If I go out to dinner I have to write on the take out styrofoam box so that they don’t eat it.
For example, I might write: IF YOU EAT THIS YOU WILL DIE. ONE OF THE BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS IS POISONED. YOU DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE THAT IS, DO YOU?
Sometimes this works. Other times, it doesn’t.
My point, Mr. or Mrs. Chocolate Shake Love, is this: I would like for you to let me try out that Flip Video for my blog and I will totally pimp you out. In fact, I already did it a while ago! Did you read it? Did you Google your company and find me? If you were an employee worth your salt, you’d be all over that. And I’d hire you in an instant! We could have chocolate shakes daily!
Feel free to read my blog and ask yourself, “Gee, how funny would she be if we gave her a Flip Video camera? I bet we’d be entertained for HOURS.”
Get back to me. Next time, try a mint chocolate chip shake. You will be in love with me and want to try one of my gourmet meals. I wouldn’t feed you poisonous buffalo chicken wings. I do have some manners.
Sincerely,
Kelly aka Mocha Momma
p.s. I also blog for BlogHer and we are doing a beauty spread. If we used video? DUDE. That would be so cool.
