This is my friend Steve, who I haven’t seen in many years, surprising his mom on Mother’s day. I’m guessing his brother filmed it, and James is his nephew.

He’s the type of person that just hearing his voice makes you homesick for him. I’ve been trying to talk him and his wife into moving to Colorado, but no luck so far. Enjoy his adorableness.

I like to grab a Cunningham Muffin.

Oh, you WILL eat a muffin. You’ll eat it and you’ll like it!

I think this is the favorite of all the videos I’ve made this week. Cracks me up anyway, but hey, it stars my dog.

So I got to visit Sparky a few weeks ago when I traveled through Icky-ta on my way to Atlanta and back. If you recall, Sparky is the puppy I got my parents for Christmas - half chihuahua, half pekingese. He’s 8 months old now and as cute and as smart as can be. I took tons of pics, which I made into three videos. Here’s the first video. It’s about his love of running in circles in the back yard. Moose guest-stars.

Lauren turned me on to Vimeo - a new video hosting service. I thought I’d try it out.

The first thing I did was try to get the video I made for my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary converted to a sharable format. I made the HUGE mistake of using Ulead DVD Picture Show to make the damn thing - little did I know that the program saves the video in a proprietary format, so I couldn’t share it with anyone unless I burned an actual DVD! So today I sprung for a $35 DVD ripper program, and ripped the video to AVI format. It only took me four years to figure this out!

The video is 13 minutes long but it was a big hit at my parents’ party. People clapped at the part about my dad being an Eagle Scout, and many were teary-eyed by the end of the video. (I think the music did it.)

What do you think? (And yes, I know full well that I was a butt-ugly child.)

For those that didn’t know, back in July both me and all my pets made the Cute with Chris show (new show every Monday, bitches!).

Chris calls me the Crazy Animal Lady of the Day in this show, but he had emailed me beforehand and let me know that he intended to make that joke and would I mind. I told him he was pretty perceptive and to go ahead and preach the truth.

In case you’d want to watch and see my furkids, here’s the vid:
