Finding the Funny By Dancing With Ellen

October is here and as I head toward the winter doldrums, I gotta love my Sisters who try to cheer me up with little emailed love letters like this:

Keep Calm And Dance With Ellen

THIS Ellen (Williams) wishes she was as cool (and rich) as THAT Ellen (DeGeneres). But to fully appreciate the irony and funny, you really need to see THIS Ellen dance. If only there was a way . . .

Oh that’s right, I posted a video awhile back as part of House TalkN’s Bloggers Dance for all of the internet to see. Erin makes a guest appearance, but she looks as stiff as a board. See if you agree.

So maybe my moves aren’t what would be called “the best”, but the locales were pretty faboo, right? Well, if that didn’t tickle your funny bone, you’re in luck because it’s also time for Finding the Funny. Link up what you got or just peruse through and do some reading. If you missed last month’s edition (and my swimming pool reveal) here were the most clicked posts:

Top Five Most Clicked Links from September!

2. Why I don’t sit on public toilets – Cloudy with a Chance of Wine
3. Due Date – The Life I Live…

 

Now on with October!

(Williams) In case you were confused.

May Bloggers Dance: Cruising

Erin: We are such fans of Stasha’s Monday Listicles because they always seem to coincide with things going on in our lives. Or maybe it’s just that between the two of us, we always have so much stuff going on that we can pretty much twist any topic to fit.

Ellen: This week’s topic was presented by Stacey from Mothering Moments in support of her wonderful new link up called ‘An Hour In A Day’.  We were asked to make a list of ten things that happen in an hour of our lives.

Erin: I started to list what happened in an hour of my day and I just couldn’t go on. Didn’t have the stomach for it. Didn’t want to see it in writing.

Ellen: So I took this puppy over because ALL OF THE HOURS of my past week have been consumed by making the #BloggersDance Party video for Kerry @HouseTalkN.

Erin: She is being soooooo melodramatic. It was only 30 hours.

Ellen: So without further ado,

TEN THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE DURING ANY RANDOM HOUR WHILE PRODUCING OUR VIDEO

1. Consult teenage daughter on how to make a movie in Movie Maker. Teenage daughter points out that I have yet to download any of my video clips. Good point.

2. Plug phone into the computer to download videos. Two of them will not download. Swear repeatedly as repeated attempts fail.

3. Resort to emailing the clips to myself off of my phone. Wait 1 hour because I have sporadic 3G coverage at my house. Yep, you read that correctly, that is one hour burned right there folks.

4 Spend hour waiting for email from myself by listening to scads of copyright free music. It ain’t all good or pretty, people.

5. Call Erin about sending her video clip to me.

6. Finally start making video. Realize that 3:54 minutes is an enormity of time to fill. Start to panic.

7. Call Erin for her video clip, AGAIN. Conversation starts with, “I don’t understand..” Realize I may just have to cut bait and move on.

8. Call friend to email me a compromising picture of Erin. Mary emails me the photo in five minutes. Mary moves to the top of my “Favorite Friend” list.

9. Cannot save video because I have maxed the memory on my computer. Spend three hours managing memory on my computer. Consume a glass of wine. Or two.

10. Long story immensely ( and blessedly) shortened: the video was produced and saved, uploaded to You Tube, and presented here for your viewing pleasure! Please let us know that the effort was worth it. Lie if you have to. We’re totally okay with that.
