After multiple takes and hours of editing, I present to you my first video blog. Take a look at my preparations for RWA conference in Orlando this year, ANTM style.
Thanks Jodi! Though I did wait until the end of my diet/exercise plan to shoot the video for a reason. And no one will ever know what the scale read. No one!
Peg — I had a lot of fun, maybe too much fun making it. Very excited for our little fashion show in Orlando!
I enjoyed the video. Fun! But now I’m more nervous than before about attending my first RWA conference! ;^) At least I already have my support garment packed!

I’m glad it’s giving people a little chuckle. My favorite part has to be my thin hubby enjoying that huge slice of cake. That’s pretty much every night at our household. He gets 2 desserts, I get an apple.
By the way, I must say my trainer actually doesn’t believe in no-carbs as a rule. He just put me on a no-starch diet for these last two months. Just to exonerate you, Mr. Strange.
Last year, I was so nervous/excited about my first conference that I barely remembered to eat in the weeks leading up to Nationals. I dropped a few pounds, and felt fabulous — lighter on my feet, more energetic, and interestingly, more in control of my eating.
This year, not so much. I just ate four slices of bread and ten of those delightful Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger Snaps, and I’m calling it lunch at 5 PM.
I hope you get a lovely turnout for your workshop. You’re on a fabulous panel, and you’re discussing something of interest to a great many people. I may need to come along to research an idea I’ve got for a HHl Undone…
Jamie – we had a lot on our minds last year, didn’t we? I really want to see what everyone’s costume looks like for the panel. I’m a little worried that it’s so early on Saturday, but hopefully we’ll get some early risers.
To Jill/Lynn and others who aren’t going to conference, I hope we’ll have plenty of pictures to post. I wonder if RWA will allow video if we just do the fashion show part? Hmm….
Julie – There’s nothing to be nervous about. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming.
Elisa – I wasn’t kidding — only I will every know what’s behind that CENSORED banner. Well, me and Don Strange.
This is soooo cute, Jeannie!!! I loved the censored part! And you are so right. I am starting to panic already. I have too much to do to get ready for National this year and I’m just not even close to being ready. Eeee!
OMG! Jeannie, you are too adorable. I must say, if I had your discipline I wouldn’t be looking for a larger sash to wear around my middle. You are going to look fantastic, even without the Spanx. BTW did you know they make full body Spanx? I’ll be the one wearing that!
You are TOO CUTE! Seriously. And isn’t it so typical that boys get to eat whatever carb-loaded food they want while we have to eat food with lots of fiber? Can’t wait to see you next week!
Hilarious. If I weren’t already planning on attending your workshop, this would have sold me. The look on your face as you contemplate the Spanx is priceless

Very nice.
And you don’t need the spanx, seriously.
