Hearing her excitement is making me SUPER NOSTALGIC for when I used to do that. On the same note though, it feels nice to a routine going on.

While Jaime was here, she gave me a book that she created for my birthday. The book was freaking AMAZING… so I made a video where I read it to you.

And like I said, other friends gave me ridiculously heartfelt and awesome things as well. I know I already blogged about it but you guys didn’t get to SEE it. In alphabetical order:

Brian sent me a beautiful bouquet of roses.

Joshua surprised me by putting this swoonworthy poem in my screen door:

And Otto gave me this AWESOME framed letter that made me positively melt:

I know you can’t read the picture, so I typed everything out that it says:

I just had to share, because all of these made me feel SO MASSIVELY GRATEFUL and reading Jaime’s book opened up all the memories from my birthday again.

I’ll have to work on that – but I looove this “record a video” thing on Viddler!

P.S. I can’t wait for my cold to be over!!!

Hope it’s of some value, and let me know if there’s something else you want me to blog about. I like making videos!

Not too much else is going on here – signed a lease for a great place in San Diego… it’s a block away from the beach and AWESOME… moved in with Otto… and am working fervently on my new niche site.

P.S. I’m sorry the voice quality is so low!

Hahaha… Brian and I have a blog up with lots of videos (2009mastermind.com). Someone wrote to Brian and said I need to work on presenting better, and that I try too hard to be seductive because I play with my hair too much.

That made me crack up.

First… I’m the least seductive person ever.

I just have a lot of hair.

Second… I never claimed interest in becoming a polished speaker.

(Just wanted to get over fear of speaking with Toastmaster’s).

Not sure why I felt compelled to say awesome, amazing, great a zillion times, but here it is:

What do you guys want to hear about? Membership sites? yayFOOD? Copywriting? My travels?

I’m sure I’ll be posting more about travel, just because that’s what I love to do… but if there’s something else you want to know about, let me know. I never really made a clear purpose for this site… just kind of randomly said whatever was on my mind the entire time.

I guess I’m just wondering because it seems like everyone has a different opinion. Some people in my mastermind say I should take a more authoritative tone (which isn’t really my style)… but at the same note, I wonder if I should provide more value instead of always just babbling.It seems kind of weird to flip between getting personal and going Internet Marketing…Give me your $.02.

(And don’t tell me to have two blogs, por favor!)

Ooo, that reminds me – Jaime and I are making a travel blog for when we go through South America. Our posts from our personal blogs will redirect to that site. We did a fun photo shoot with her ridiculously talented friend, Andrea to get pictures for the blog theme. You can see them here (they’re grouped with the other photo shoot pictures).

But anyway, here’s the video:

Here were the photo shoot pictures I was talking about. =)

(…and by “windowsill”, I mean “window”. )

To prove to the world that my hair is normal, here’s a picture from my photo shoot :

Thank you for indulging me. Here’s my latest video:

Anyway, I just found this awesome program and wanted to talk about it:

(And like I said in the video… I’d ONLY talk about it if I thought I was helping. I don’t like shameless affiliate promotions on my blog. )
