Celebration Tonight

I have some good news! See my post immediately below from earlier today (or here) before seeing the video so it makes sense...thanks for "coming with me", my online support team---YOU!

This video is 2:05 long:



Okay, I'm in the process of switching to YouTube! Here's the same video on YouTube---watch it here and see if it is better for you:

Olivia said...

I'm so glad, Leah. As Kikipotamus has said, "Funny is good!" :) xxoo, O

Olivia said...

Yes, you did, Annie! You were right there with me in spirit, that's for sure! xxoo, O

The Dream said...

That was hilarious! I'm with Leah; my favorite part. My husband would probably take the camera and toss it into the lobster tank. I drive him crazy enough with still shots!

This is great Olivia - How was the Cod? I love the way you dressed up - jewellery and lipstick - this is my style too!

Rick Hamrick said...

I remember visiting the Anthony's in San Diego many years ago--if you had as much fun on your celebration adventure as I did that night, all were had by a good time!

Big congratulations on your completion of NaNoWriMo, Olivia!

Tinker said...

Congratulations again, Olivia!
I loved hearing your husband say, "My wife's a writer!" How cool is that? Very!

Thanks for taking us along to celebrate.
The videos look great - not sure if it was just me, but the first version looked a little clearer than the You Tube version - but maybe my eyes are just getting tire 0_0

Olivia said...

Thanks so much, Rick. Yes, Anthony's is a part of that west coast chain, probably exactly the same...we did have fun. :)

Olivia said...

tinker, that was my favorite part of the video, too.

You are right about the blurriness, which bothers me---it's not your eyes! It displays larger and all pixilated, so I'm going to try to correct for that by downloading at a higher resolution with my next video. I know that I can correct this one way or another, but I have to experiment. Any other ideas, techo gurus?

Olivia said...

Patti, the cod was superb! I enjoy all fish, but cod is one of my top favs if it's done right. Subtle and tasty with the sour cream and dill on top...ummm...

We "dress up" the same :)

Olivia said...

Eileen, LoveHubbie wasn't too excited about it but he knows how I love vlogging. He was a little shy. And he would never throw away my FREE FREE FREE camera I got from Amazon as a gift...He is Mr. Super Frugal. I can hardly get him to throw trash away.
But it was his video debut speaking (in the gratitude dance he didn't speak) so he chose his words carefully and, IMHO, very well!

Unknown said...

I love that your husband put up with the camera at the table. My husband hates being on camera!

Olivia said...

Mine has a love/hate relationship with the camera...on the one hand he's a ham and on the other he thinks he's not so interesting!! Blessings, O
