5 Minutes for Moody Obscurity...

My 5 Minutes for Moody Obscurity are apparently up.  Following our evacuation for Hurricane Gustav, I found myself in a grumpy bout of emotional exhaustion.  Nothing particularly dramatic happened, however the entire evacuation process followed by long hours of waiting and watching just drained me. 

We returned home to a battered coastline but a safe and sound home.  I would think I was over being moody, go down to the beach to take photos to share with you (coming soon, I swear), then find myself right smack dab in the middle of a grump fest again. 

Lots of eating and sleeping have been going on, but no computer turning-on-ing.  ;)

However, my time for dabbling in depression has come to an end, as I find myself being dragged out of said moody obscurity by my Canadian twin-tastic friends at 5 Minutes for Mom.  Head over to their revamped network of sites and check out the first video interview I did for them while in San Francisco recently. 

What I should be depressed about is how they clearly shot me from my fat side (ahem), but aside from the rambling, I think it's a fun interview.  Susan and Janice were immensely professional and I was exactly the opposite.  In other words, it was a blast.

I think they said "stop mocking me!" at least half a dozen times, but I couldn't help it!  By the way, I was not mocking them at any point, but rather admiring their professionalism and completely contagious Canadian accents.  After working with them on The People's Party and the 5 Minutes for Mom video segments, I can't recommend this duo enough.  If you aren't a member of 5 Minutes for Mom, yet, get over there right now and sign up. 

I have the perfect first stop for you:  Me!  Talking aimlessly and touching my face way too much!

Thanks so much for doing this interview. I thought it was great. It took me almost a year of blogging to finally let the stat thing go. I enjoy blogging much more now, because I only worry about whether it is bringing me joy and whether I am getting the right message across (although most of my posts are pretty message-free). I admit I do still peak at stats occasionally, though. What can I say, I'm a work in progress?

I thought the video was great! You did a great job and NO ONE'S angle is worse than mine- oh my goodness. It makes me look 20 months pregnant.

I didn't see you on that video. Was that the right link? That was the twins with Heidi Klum.

[Maria]

You looked beautiful. And glad your home was ok!

[Tammy and Parker]

Your interview was wonderful. Very relaxed. Nobody but the interview-ee notices the angle. Promise.

You know, while everyone is over there signing up for 5 Minutes for Mom, they might as well sign up for 5 Minutes for Special Needs. You know. Two great sites for the price of one. :D

Great Great Great interview! Thanks for being so real, so honest, and so transparent! I Love it!!!

I would agree, no one but you noticed the angle...I thought you lokoed MAR-VEL-OUS!

Megan, this was FAB! I am proud of you. And they're teasing us by ...making us wait for the 2nd part.

Yes, the angle on mine was horrible too, I think it was the "from below" shot. Like the camera guy needed to be taller.

But your whole interview was fabulous! Loved it. :)
