Vodpod videos no longer available.
(By the way, I purposefully picked the stupidest thumbnail I could because truly, could I LOOK any dumber?? LOL)
Recap:
Meme name suggestions?
Meme day?
Mentioned in video: Table Topics. (Pst, I’ll be giving a fancy, glass Table Topics cube to one lucky winner during 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party!)
ADDED: Another reason to participate in a video meme? Your kids. Your grandkids.
Let me explain. My parents moved to a different city shortly after I graduated from high school because my dad got a new job. And instead of writing letters, my grandmother and aunts sat around the kitchen table together and talked into a tape recorder and sent the tapes to my mom – they exchanged audio letters, if you will.
My mother cherishes those cassette tapes. She loves to take them out and listen to them from time to time. And they mean even more to her now because my grandmother is no longer with us.
So, think of participating in this video meme as your way of leaving a bit of yourself behind for your children and grandchildren. How cool would it be to WATCH mom/grandma talk about issues close to her heart?
Anyway, I felt I needed to explain the purpose behind this idea of mine. It’s not because I enjoy watching myself on video – gads, far from it. But because everything I do on this journal, everything, is geared toward leaving a bit of me behind for my future generations. My goal is not to gain readers (though that would be a nice bonus), or to become super popular, but to help make documenting our short time on this earth a little more fun. Nothing more, nothing less.
I hope you’ll consider joining me. 🙂

If you did it on Tuesdays you could even plug the Table Topics cards and call it Table Topics Tuesday? Or on Wednesday you could make it a play on the fact that it isn’t wordless, which I’m sure you already thought of!
This video really cleared up a lot of questions for me and now I’m so excited – I think it sounds like a really fun idea – would this be a weekly meme? Oh I’m already looking forward to it. I think using the table topics card is an excellent idea. As for a name? Shoot, I have no ideas! But I can’t wait to participate!
