I cannot believe I did this.

Oh. my. gracious. Shoot me.

To meet some of your other favorite bloggers in video (much less geeky than me) go to HOTM online.

    Darcy!

    I just love you! You are a real person. LOL Okay, you are going to think I am weird but a video is so much more real than a blog and I loved watching this. Tell Picaso thanks for introducing Lucy. :-)

    Maybe…we will do this.

    YAY I “met” the friend in my computer! I LOVE Lucy (no pun intended). We have 3 black kitties :)

  3. Amy says:

    FUN!!! I’ve been reading for a while and rarely (never?) comment. (Shame on me!) But this was SO FUN and I LOVED getting to ‘meet’ you – so I thought I’d better be a better blogger and say ‘hi’. Loved your video! :)

  4. Messy Jessy MN says:

    Okay, you’re totally fun to watch!
    Good for you learning something new on your computer.
    Have a good day!

  5. Sheila says:

    That was fun. You are so brave! It is so cool to meet you this way. I’m a homeschooler too but a complete newbie. :)

    I would probably video tape myself in the closet since it would be quiet and not too much mess in the background. :)

  6. Brittney says:

    It was so fun getting to see how you are in real life! Not that you don’t blog honestly or about your life, but to see your mannerisms and to hear your voice. It will make a difference now when I read your posts…not a “bad” difference…different in a very good way. You crack me up! (in your posts and in the video…in a good way!) :0) Am I making sense? I’ll stop…

    Oh…and I especially love to read stuff about Iowa as that is where my whole family is and where I grew up. I miss it.

    :o )

  7. Deborah W says:

    LOL, that totally looks just like my closet! Love your video, and the interruptions were the best, because I’m very partial to boyz and catz! Maybe I’ll do a video blog one of these days……ha ha! I’m really enjoying working with you on my blog makeover…you’re the best; so patient! LOVE LOVE LOVE what “we’ve” done so far, and am looking forward to picking up again on Monday. Have a great weekend! Deborah/Webajeb.com

  8. JourneytoFamily says:

    Oh my gosh, I LOVED this!!!! I love you even more than I did before. :) And how sweet is Lucy, giving you a kiss!

    Loved the Breaking Dawn poster. Ha… I had no idea the back side of the jacket cover was a poster. Duh.

  9. Michele says:

    You are so brave! I love Lucy. You should blog more about her!

  10. Sandy Toes says:

    Very cute…Lucy is a sweetie..I didn’t know cats licked!

    Have a great weekend!

  11. fourhisglory says:

    That was such a cute video. Much better than min and longer too.

    It was nice “meeting” you. :-)

  12. Kysha says:

    Darcy, you did a great job! You are so sweet and so pretty. I should have hidden in my master closet because after the 5th take, the interference and noise was ridiculous. I just used what we had. LOL.

  13. Kysha says:

    I forgot about my laptop’s video capabilities too now that you have mentioned it. LOL I have a built in webcam and it takes pics and videos. Duh! Maybe I will use it next time around. Thanks for reminding me. :)

  14. Ruthanne says:

    Darcy,

    You. are. hilarious. I loved it!!

    BTW, what store is that bag from?*wink*

  15. Amy says:

    Oh Darcy, I am so happy that you posted a video and thank you for being so real, I love you even more now!!! Thanks for the mention too:)

    We will definitely do this more often.

  16. Anna K. says:

    Fun! And you aren’t geeky, just adorable. I kept waiting for one of the boys to jump in the frame! I could hear their little giggles in the background…

    My hat’s off to you, Darcy, for even trying a video blog. I don’t even have a clue how to do one! Ooooh, maybe you could do a short tutorial on that….pretty please!

  17. Katherine says:

    I loved this Darcy! So Im not the only one that hides in crazy places and the kids still find us! You are so gorgeous and awesome! Pretty Kitty too!

  18. Rhonda says:

    What a fun video! I have been watching the other video’s too-such a cool idea.
    Hiding in your closet was just too funny and what a sweet kitty.
    Thanks for being brave enough to do this!

  19. Kristi says:

    Darcy – I’ve been a lurker for many, many moons, and it always brings me joy to read about you, your lovely family, and your life. Today’s post was awesome as I was able to literally hear from you for the first time. I don’t blog, but I follow yours faithfully. Thanks for giving us more of you. Keep the good stuff coming.

  20. Jennifer says:

    That was REAL and funny too, what a typical mom thing to think we can hide ANYWHERE in our house. Becoming a mom has explained why MY mom took so long in the bathroom!

    yeesh! Funny story though about that…that’s how I learned to tie my shoes! I was waiting for her to get out/be done so that she could tie my shoes so I could go out and play. She took forever so I’m saying the bunny ear story to myself, playing with my laces and Lo and BEHOLD! My shoes are tied!

    Your voice is just like I would have thought it would be.

    Blessings, Jennifer

  21. Lisawa says:

    Darcy… you are adorable… I like how Picasso helped and Lucy giving you some love was too cute!! You can’t make that stuff up man!

    Its funny… I read peoples blogs and wonder what they sound like… what their personality is like… and now we get a glimpse… I’m sure I will enjoy all you do even more now! *Ü*

    Love ya seesta!

    Lisa~

  22. Wendy says:

    Darcy! You are a movie star, dahling! That was *awesome*!!!!

    Thanks for being brave and jumping in and doing that. You were so charming and fun. It was so fun to “meet” you “in person”. Wait, I didn’t really do that…but I did…well, you know what I mean.

    BTW — shooting that in your closet — isn’t that what ALL the reality shows do? Look how Hollywood you are!

    *I’m* still patting myself on the back for putting pics of me and the fam on my blog. Baby steps…baby steps…

  23. Marsha Marsha Marsha says:

    I LOVED IT!!! You are so stinkin’ pretty! I’m so glad that you did this. It makes me like you even more! :-)

    Oh and thanks for the shout out. (wow, that sounds dumber to type than it does to just say it…)

    Moving right along… I liked how nice and peaceful your closet was! My closet is too little. But we demolished the big walk-in closet to expand the bathroom… maybe I’ll do my next video in there. Don’t worry- I won’t be sitting on the throne or flushing! But it might sound echo-y, huh?

    Love,
    Marsha- who is in SHOCK and UTTER AMAZEMENT that you didn’t know your computer could do this. I thought you were the techy queen!

  24. dianne - bunny trails says:

    That was SO funny! What a great video. You cracked me up. Your kitty is adorable and that was just so sweet that she gave you a little kitty love there.

    I’m fighting with YouTube, but hope to get mine up today. It’s all pixelated and making me crazy! :D

  25. Angela says:

    Darcy! I am so glad you participated! I love meeting everyone in person…and you are not geeky at all!

    We have a kitty that looks just like your’s.

  26. Becca says:

    Oh! I LOVED this! You sound so sweet~ just like I thought you would!
    BTW we have two cats and their names are Linus and Lucy.

  27. Julie says:

    That is so fun, to “hear you talking” Thanks for doing that… You are such a star!

  28. Stacy says:

    I loved your video segment! I’m thinking you should audition for The View with Barbara Walters. You’re just what that show needs…and you would totally be a kick! I just know it! Thanks for sharing the real you. You’re a very pretty lady and so down to earth :-)

  29. Dawn @ My Home Sweet Home says:

    I did the same thing: googled “how to make a video from a mac” and learned I could do it from Photo Booth or iMovie! The hard part is looking at the camera instead of the screen, huh?

    You were so precious! I LOVE getting to really see people like this. I’m uploading mine. :-)

  30. Laura says:

    Thank you for posting your video…I don’t feel so intimidated by you any more! Oh, and my husband thinks I’m nuts, too…that whole “all my friends live in my computer” routine.

  31. Jessica says:

    So fun!!! I’m looking for the courage…

    :) Jessica

  32. Farm Fresh Jessica says:

    You rock blogging in your closet! I am totally cracking up that they STILL found you!!

    We are totally going to have to hook up!

    Love your blog. Love it.

    and I am not imaginary!

  33. Melissa B. says:

    Greetings from Virginia, which, of course, is for Lovers, Politics & History! Thanks so much for dropping in for my BATW Day in the Sun…Love your blog & REALLY love this particular post! Please drop by to see me again sometime soon!

  34. Renae says:

    So glad you did this! Mom’s can never hide, can we? :)

    And I talk to my husband about my blogging friends, too. He reminds me, “I don’t know these people.”

  35. Christi says:

    You are brave. Oh, so very brave. I loved your video blog. And your closet is pretty nice too. LOL

  36. Renay says:

    Darcy, how adorable are you! And somehow, video-blogging from the closet really works for you. ;) You have got to do this again! Blessings, Renay

  37. Carrie says:

    This was great! I was just thinking about my web layout last night and thought how cool it would be to do a commentary type thing with video, and I login to start to go to your design site, and low and behold I see a video clip. You are too cute–and so “real”. I really like the “imaginary friends on my computer”. ha ha. I feel like a kid and I know my hubby thinks I’m crazy too!

  38. Carrie says:

    Oh and by the way, the closet doesn’t strike me as unusual, because that’s where I happen to be reading your blog! I had to move my laptop and printers up here so my youngest wouldn’t mess with them and I could utilize them without him around. We do what we gotta do. :)

  39. Tracy says:

    LOL! Too funny! I love how you tried to get away…but everyone and even the CAT found you!

  40. mom24 says:

    Yeah – brave is the word! You did great with the distractions (I might have been inclined to give up and tickle someone) and it was nice to put a physical person with the ‘inner’ you that you give us through your posts.
    Hmmmm…I think I’d like to try this sometime but we’ll see…
    Awesome!
    Andrea
