Here’s some snap shots of the toddler wearing my other favorite designs. He’s starting to be that bratty 3 year old that won’t let me know snap photos. So they are him in is "natural" environment (translation his hour of TV watching.)

I have ideas for more products but you know how it goes.. Too many ideas…. Not enough time. :)

I’M DONE EDITING VIDEO…… YAY!

lol

If any of you follow me on twitter or facebook you probably are SICK of me complaining. Anyway, let me back up for a minute as most of you have NO idea what I’m talking about.

I’M DONE EDITING VIDEO…… YAY!

lol

If any of you follow me on twitter or facebook you probably are SICK of me complaining. Anyway, let me back up for a minute as most of you have NO idea what I’m talking about.

A few weeks ago Nokia emailed asking If I’d be willing to trial one of their new camera phones, the N96 to record a "Day in the Life". Apparently they selected a few bloggers from across the interweb in different niches and I was one of the lucky ones that get picked!

I was, dare I say, MORE then excited as I thought they were actually GIVING me the phone. Honestly, I ran upstairs to tell the husband ecstatically as I was coincidentally in the market for a new phone at the time.

I should have known it was too good to be true.

Through our correspondence I realized it was only a TRIAL. Meaning after I was done recording I’d have to give the camera/phone back. :( oh… well… I knew I’d still have fun! When will I learn that nothing in life is free? lol

Anyway, so my take on the phone… VERY COOL. Most phones have a camera but not many cameras have a phone. Know what I mean? That’s how I would describe this device, it’s truly a Camera then a Phone. The video quality is awesome. Photo capturing with the large screen amazing. Even navigating through your recorded photos and videos was a cinch.

I’m not sure the camera would replace my current one for my food photos as it’s close up capabilities seemed lacking. But for an over all utility camera, especially for a blogger, this device is sweet. It’s 5 megapixel camera blows by LG Dare out of the water. It also has 16GB of memory AND you can watch TV on it!

Ok…. I’m not going to get any more geek then that. I told I need a new geek blog. :)

So here it is. The video start with a makep-less me coming out of the bathroom and includes sneak peaks into my pantry, my fridge, my spice cabinet even my iTunes. I make two dishes, pick up the toddler, we play cars, make his lunch, I go the gym, my sink even leaks! It’s truly just random clips of my life within a 24 (well, 27) hour time frame.

The video below will play through each clip in sequence. If you place your mouse over the video you’ll see all the clips and you can hop around. They are all in order as I recorded them. You can also click here to see the playlist I put together on YouTube.

Ok, I’ll let the video speak for itself. It’s quite long and boring and you may be surprised at how much junk we actually eat for all that I preach. I was. And let me tell ya… the starburst morning habit is NO MORE but we still do go the Candy Store every Thursday. :)

This weekend’s quote inspires me on a few different levels. I think that’s [...]]]> OK, guys, a bit late with the weekend quote but I HAD to post one. Admittedly, as I prepare for my audition tomorrow, this may be more for me then you, but I hope you find it inspirational all the same.

This weekend’s quote inspires me on a few different levels. I think that’s why it works so well, you can apply it to your specific goals, no matter what they are, weight loss or otherwise. Being someone who tried repeatedly to get control of my diet and now someone who is attempting find her way in a new career I simply find it encouraging…

In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time. ~Anthony J. D’Angelo, The College Blue Book

It’s another, "let’s try to change our mindsets about failure", type of quotes. This is why I get so worked up when people use one "screw up" as an excuse to go off plan and quite all together. We have to stop that mentality and look at it as a learning experience. Why did you pig out? Why didn’t you stop at 1, 2 or even 5 cookies? Why did you order the fried crazy appetizer, a complete meal and continue to eat until stuffed? Why’d ya grab the bag of chips instead of measuring out a serving? (again, all things I did/do) When we do those types things, and let’s lay this out on the table right now, we WILL do those types of things, it’s inevitable. Don’t use it as an excuse to give up on the day, week or even month. LEARN from it so you are more prepared next time. Don’t think of it as a failure, think of it as a learning experience, as one of the 10,000 things that didn’t work. :)

Now, and as usual I’m trying to kill too many birds with my one little stone. The toddler asked me to read one specific book tonight. Which made me remember that I have tons of footage from my Roni’s Day in the Life video series still to edit. This will all make sense in a minute, I promise. This specific book is my absolute favorite Dr. Seuss story of all time. Like the quote above, you can really apply it’s message to anything you want, dieting, career goals, whatever, as it’s just about life.

So here’s a preview of the footage from my N96 Trial, A Day in the Life video series (coming soon-hopefully this week). I’m skipping to this later in the day video considering it’s pretty relevant as I get ready for tomorrows audition.

I’m NOT lying when I say favorite time of day AND favorite book. Seriously. I read it to him again tonight, just like this and tonight, it was his choice, which made me smile. :)

Ok…I’ll be twittering from New York tomorrow, can’t wait!! Now… Off to get the train schedule!

P.S.Contest winners will be announced tomorrow night along with a surprise!
