My Favorite Videos

It's hard to remember what life was like before YouTube. I've saved some of my favorite videos and today I even made the first of my own. I figured I'd better keep up before I get left behind!

Our Pismo Beach Vacation (great music so turn up your speakers!) — My husband Bill is a great photographer and these are some of the best photos of our January 2010 vacation in Pismo Beach and the beach towns up and down the central California coast. I figured out how to make a slide show video, added music, and I have to say not bad for my first one.

The Best Anti-Brat Advertisement — I like kids most of the time but I hate brats all of the time. You too? Turn up your speakers, you're going to crack up when you see this ad. This should be shown to every high school student in America several times a week!

Bailey! Play Dead! — I've watched this video so many times I can't remember how many and I still laugh out loud everytime I watch it. It's from the Letterman Show and it's been on YouTube so maybe you've seen it but even if so, it's gonna make you laugh again.

The Onslaught of Beauty — When I was a child, I thought I was pretty in a childlike way but like all little girls, I wanted to be beautiful. From looking at old photos of my childhood, I think I was about 3 when I started curling my straight-as-a-board hair, dressing up in my mom's clothes, lathering on her lotions and perfumes, and experimenting with her makeup. Back when I was a child, these were just fun and innocent things to do.  Today, however, childhood beauty has a whole different set of implications. Watch this video and you'll see what I mean. Every parent should watch this it!

Einstein the Parrot — When you watch this video, you're not going to believe what you're seeing. The first time I watched it, I thought no way, there's not a bird in the world that's this smart. But the video clip is real and so is Einstein. Warning: If after you watch this video you want to run right out and get yourself one of these little charmers, read this article first. African Greys don't all talk, and they aren't all or always this smart or this adorable either!

The Dancing Dog — Have you ever heard of Rookie and Carolyn Scott? If not, you're going to love this video! You won't believe the amazing dance routine that Rookie and Carolyn have put together to the song You're the One That I Want, so turn up your speakers and get ready, the first time I saw it I was laughing and clapping right along with the audience and unless you're a total stick-in-the-mud, you will be too!

Great Advertisement for Socks — The Europeans have us Americans beat by a mile when it comes to advertising. Check out this ad for Carson Gold Socks. It's an absolute crack up and it'll sure give you something to think about next time you're smooching with your honey! (This is an .mpe file so it takes a bit of time to load . . . it's worth it though.)

One Really Smart Dog — I always thought my little Bailey, who probably knew more words and phrases than most 2-year-olds, was pretty darn smart. Then I saw this video and I thought, "Now that's a smart dog!" Be prepared, you're going to want to watch this video two or three times!
