So, I agreed to do Linda's meme thing. What! It's cool. She's a friend. I can go vid-e-o for a friend.
Thank you to my videographer daughter and to my techno-video-Hero Hubby for doing all the work here. They rock. Because I can neither operate a video camera nor can I upload video files to YouTube. That's what they're for, right?
Y'all should play next time. It wasn't so bad. Okay, okay. It was kind of fun.
So! Funky Emo or Minimalist Mom?
Funky Emo. My wife has a similar hairstyle and the thick rimmed funky glasses are definitely more trendy.

That was so cute. I love the 60-120 sec to 1-2 hour comparison. I agree. LOL. I'd go funky Emo for sure but I'm not sure they use the expression, "yo, yo" :-D Loved your video and ending at the computer back to the blog.

Carol! You were first! I knew you would be awesome. (Is "awesome" funky 80s or Lame Mom?) Your glasses switching exercise made me think of sitting in the optometrist's chair and her saying, "Is this better or this better? Number one, or number two?" and then you get all confused! I really do like either; perhaps you should get both? I like to have a choice. If I had to choose one, I guess it would be the Emo. Well, this was great. I thought for sure you were going play bass ... maybe you saved that for next time in the spring! Thanks for playing along. I hope you enjoy visiting other vlogs.

Emo all the way. Nice to meet you. :)
Posted by: Deven | December 30, 2008 at 06:51 AM
It was supposed to be 1-2 minutes? Great. Messed that one up.
Posted by: Mama Belle | December 30, 2008 at 07:31 AM
You were smart to get opinions on the glasses when we could see and hear you in 4-D - helps to get the full effect!
Funky Emo all the way. Yo.
Loving your blog - so glad we found each other!

I pushed the envelope with 3 minutes 25 seconds..... but hey it is what it is.
I vote for the minimalist mom glasses, but then I am a low key understated kinda girl myslef.
great video.
Blessings

I'd go with the minimalist mom ones because you're funky and cool either way. Fun to meet you! What is better said in 2 minutes than 2 hours? You're my kind of girl. Happy New Year.

You look fabulous in BOTH pair! I know lens are expensive, but you should keep both tht way you can go by how your feeling that day. BUT if I have to choose, the Funky Emo. I have some too and I think if you HAVE to wear glasses people should SEE the glasses...Fashion Statement.
Posted by: Sara@butterville | December 30, 2008 at 08:53 AM
Great video. Both frames looked great. Guess I'd choose the Emo. But it's a close call.
Posted by: Mocha with Linda | December 30, 2008 at 09:30 AM
Hi there! Coming over from 2nd Cup...
You seem SO fun! If I had to choose, I'd pick the Funky Emo glasses!
Oh, and 1 - 2 minutes?! I went over the time limit..oops.
Posted by: Rach@InHisHands | December 30, 2008 at 10:18 AM
What I have learned so far:
#1 The time limit is there to be pushed - hard
#2 Emos don't say "Yo". What do I know? I'm a child of the '60's. It's amazing I've even heard the term "Emo."
#3 I'm cool either way. Which is good 'cause I buy my glasses Buy-One-Get-One-Free at LensCrafters. But I haven't decided which pair I'm most comfortable in.
#4 I didn't actually have to BE In the video. I could have been behind the camera. (NOW they tell me!!)
So! I'm learning. Keep the comments coming!
Posted by: Carol | December 30, 2008 at 10:31 AM
hey nice to meetcha. and what is this "the video and i don't do good together"...i disagree! funky emo...all the way!
Posted by: Linda | December 30, 2008 at 10:41 AM
I knew you'd be as much fun in real live person as black and white post! I say get both! That way you can be moody, I mean, dress up your eyes to fit your mood. Yeah, that's what I meant. :vD
It was great seeing you "live" and in person!
Posted by: Susanne | December 30, 2008 at 10:46 AM
Very cool Vlog!! And oh my...big blooper on mine. I didn't read about the 60-120 seconds. Yikes! I blew that one.
I like the funky emo glasses, by the way!!
Posted by: Ohilda | December 30, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Definitely the Emo, a totally winning combination with the dizzy :-)
I think I went over a few seconds. Will I get gonged?
Posted by: Kim | December 30, 2008 at 11:39 AM
The Funky Emo glasses thing made me laugh so hard. I love both glasses actually. If I had to chose one pair, though, I would go with the Funky Emo pair.
Posted by: Bonds, Elizabeth Bonds. | December 30, 2008 at 11:57 AM
I like the Funky Emo glasses! Both looked good on you, but if I had to choose!
Posted by: Patrice | December 30, 2008 at 01:17 PM
It appears I am outnumbered but I choose the Mom Glasses. However, both pair are cute. I must have missed the 1-2 minute thing I put up 2 clips both about 3 minutes! Oops!
It was so nice to "see" you!
Posted by: Rachel | December 30, 2008 at 01:27 PM
LOL - go with both!! Emo for the spicy days, minimalist for regular days - they both looked good.
Great "see what I am saying"
Signed,
The Feet

That was so darn CUTE! I like the minimalist Mom ones best but maybe that's because I get what that is. I have no idea what an Emo is, but I will now go ask my teen and get enlightened. :) I love the video and seeing you! Thanks for sharing!!
Posted by: Leanne | December 30, 2008 at 02:53 PM
I visited the first 29 of these at 2nd Cup and I am definitely abandoning the 2 minute rule next time. pffththt!!!
Got the Emos on right now. They make me feel hip. Even though I'm hardly.
Posted by: Carol | December 30, 2008 at 03:44 PM
Great video.
I'd pick the minimalist glasses, but think you look great in both.
Happy New Year!
Posted by: Jendi | December 30, 2008 at 04:03 PM
So fun! I'm glad I got to meet you through this meme. I loved the emo glasses b/c I couldn't see the other ones. :-)
Posted by: Becoming Me | December 30, 2008 at 04:32 PM
And you still had 3 seconds to spare! I vote for the minimalist mom glasses.
I have a camcorder but for some reason it has never occurred to me to put anything on YouTube. I'm not even sure I know how, but I guess I ought to learn.
Posted by: Nicholas | December 30, 2008 at 04:33 PM
Funky Emo, yo! Of course. I mean, you did see my glasses, didn't you?!
Your video was cool. I don't care what you say!
Posted by: Andrea@Under Grace & Over Coffee | December 30, 2008 at 05:03 PM
I vote for the Funky glasses...but that might be just me. I tend to be more funky than minimalist. =)
Posted by: Phyllis Wilbanks | December 30, 2008 at 05:05 PM
I vote for the Funky Emo Glasses. I am really not a minamalist anything. :)
Posted by: Greg | December 30, 2008 at 05:15 PM
Love the video!!! Funky emo all the way!!!
Posted by: Amy | December 30, 2008 at 05:21 PM
Hey Carol! It's really nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by earlier...your "spouse-oidal brownie points" comment made me laugh!
Man, it's a close call, but I think I'd vote Emo. (I've had toddlers in my house for so long, I'm surprised I didn't type Elmo.)
Happy New Year!
Posted by: Chel's Leaving a Legacy | December 30, 2008 at 06:29 PM
I'm falling in love with so many new bloggers!!! This is so much fun. You rock both the glasses, but I'm going with Emo. You are so much fun, so nice to meet you.
Posted by: Heather of the EO | December 30, 2008 at 06:56 PM
Funky "Emo" all the way....But don't call them "Emo". I asked my 17 year old and he said that Emo is a genre for Emotional. IE..."Poor me. The world hates me. My parents are awful. I think I'll cut myself...."
DEFINITELY not you....but I still love the funky glasses.
(Ha-Funky and Emo---that's like 2 different generations of words)
Nice to See What You Are Saying!
Posted by: MyADHDMe | December 30, 2008 at 07:27 PM
Funky Emo, Fo' Sho! Loved it!
Posted by: The Inept Aspirant | December 30, 2008 at 08:07 PM
What fun to see and hear you! I've got to do this next time -- I haven't figured out my video camera yet. Though I cam upload video files to You Tube! Woo-hoo! I like either glasses.
Posted by: Barbara H. | December 31, 2008 at 09:27 AM
Funky EMO.. fo sho.
