Mothers of the Year: Redux

I am re-posting because there was a glitch in the video I posted earlier! It was not intended to be all stuttery, jerky, arty, or oddly projected. It was intended to look like smooth, tv-quality video. It sent me into an absolute tailspin when Ann gave me a call to let me know! So, it is finally back, under a new URL, but at least more like what I intended the finished piece to look like. I appreciate that people left nice comments even when they must've been thinking, "WTF was that?" but in the future, I'd rather have someone question the quality than humor me entirely. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for everyone to take the gloves off and give me a nasty critique, but I want you to know that I won't break or give up blogging if someone were to say something like, "Hey, I don't get the whole herky-jerky thing. Was it supposed to convey a drunken feeling or was your editing program eff-ing up?" :)

So.... here is the video, again:



A loving ode to mom for Mother's Day? Or possibly a a cinematic tribute to the fine drinking establishments that the mothers of Wisconsin love. Either way, please enjoy the film that Ann of Ann's Rants and I collaborated on (meaning we are both posting the same video this week). It is another installment in the little vlogging adventure that we have going on with our friend Jessica, of bernthis.com comedic fame. Our topic today is, of course, motherhood. Click over to bernthis after you leave here to see Jessica's video.

Come back on Monday for the resumption of One Morning a Week, with my favorite yogi in the entire world, Braja!

  1. I totally thought it was supposed to be jerky, like one of those old-timey movies. It seemed to fit!

    Hilarious.

  6. I was a little drunk last night and LOVED the 1st video. And am sober tonight and LOVE this video.

    I just love it. Kind of too much. And we are SO on for a pillow fight at BlogHer. Will you bring your video camera? I will start shopping for a skimpy nightie now.

  14. This just keeps getting funnier to me. My new favorite moment is you tapping the straw off before putting it in your boot, and the instrument sound when I'm chewing one of the curds.

    Also, the timing of our lavern and shirley boots with the music just kills me. Beauty.
