Friday Night Videos

So it totally sucks, but I have had that really terrible cough/cold thing that has been passed around.....I don't know who gave it to me, but I can say: I hope I return the favor some day......okay, maybe I don't really feel that way exactly, but I'm pretty mad.

Because this cough is so bad (I have asthma that I finally got under control), I went to the doctor because I was wheezing so bad I didn't feel like I was breathing well at all. He told me that he doesn't want me in the dirty dash, or to even go take pictures because I need to rest and do breathing exercises or I will get pneumonia. What a disappointment! A friend was kind enough to take my spot in the dirty dash and I will be home resting........truly disappointing.

Now I have plenty of time to put up my videos for Friday.

So, whenever I catch this commercial on TV, I stop what I'm doing because I love the images (can I find something new?) and I want this song!:

This video has been a hit and you'll see why. It really is a great proposal:

I can't help it, I love Lady Gaga Gaga and I think this commercial is brilliant:

This weekend is Pride and I will be resting as I walk around the festival tomorrow. I thought the next two videos were wonderful!

It Gets Better - for my friends who have struggled and been harassed in their lives for being who they are. I think the sentiment goes for anything in life, especially when we were young and we couldn't fathom how great life would be:

FckH8 - Teachers can't say GAY law - lots of swears in this, so don't watch it if it's not your cup OR wear your headphones!:

Dirty Dash Fears

This coming Saturday, I'm joining several of the girls from my office to participate in the Dirty Dash. And I have to say that I am freaking out!

I'm a wee bit accident prone, so I'm feeling like this might tempt Fate a little too much to pass up. I mean, what if I fall down in the mud and no one sees me and I drown in the mud, wouldn't that be just terrible!?!? Or I fall and break my ankle and my team has to drag me (literally) down the mountain.......ugh!

And I'm incredibly out of shape and I signed up thinking it would be good to have motivation to get out and get moving...and it worked. I've been up and moving but I'm still huffing and puffing my way around the 5Ks, I mean, there won't be any running on my part. I never want to be the last one to cross the finish line; BUT you have to cross the finish line as a team and I'm anxious about being the one to hold up my team!

And as I've mentioned, we'll be in the mud and what if mud clings to my most unattractive spots, or the water is too cold or I lose a shoe in the mud or the showers after the race are cold..............it's silly, really, to be this concerned over something so trivial.

*sigh*

It should be fun, right?!
