Green Screen

Boy is this an exciting week.

Foodblog-4668

Baby’s due. (Duh)

KERFiversary – 5 years

Video crew to my house.

Also, I was asked to be on a major talk show and invited on an international press trip that would have taken place this week and had to turn down both because I can’t travel!!!! Bummer!!!!

Foodblog-4655

The crew finally arrived at 3, and we packed as much as we could into an afternoon. My entire living room was transformed into a studio!!

I really hate to keep teasing you all about this project – it’s not my intention to do so! I just can’t share the details yet. Wish I could very much! I’ll tell you this: it’s a weekly blogging job that includes a lot of video blogs and I’ll be blogging about health and motherhood. I’m very excited! I’ve been working hard in the past few weeks to get ahead a bit so I can take some time off when the baby comes. And after today’s shoot, I’m officially on maternity leave for about a month (except from KERF of course : ) )

Foodblog-4658

Right before the crew arrived, I devoured an AnneP bar. And thanks to those of you who recommended the Camelbak water bottle!! While biting and drinking at once isn’t totally great, it’s overall a wonderful bottle and fits all my requirements: 1 liter, straw, virtually leak proof. I might need a second one for each nursing station in the house! [This is the one I got.]

Foodblog-4651

Then it was go-time. I had to powder my nose a lot – it was hot under those lights! And check out that big baby in there!

Foodblog-4667

After the crew left, Matt and I shot two more short videos, and I uploaded and sent them away while Matt made a pizza!

Foodblog-4672

Incredible whole wheat pizza dough with leftover turkey spaghetti sauce and local North Cove mushrooms!

Foodblog-4677

Leftover zucchini on the side. I could only eat two. Vegetables just aren’t doin’ it for me at times.

Foodblog-4676

I was literally shaking with adrenaline from the afternoon and when we sat down to dinner. I’m feeling much more calm now, and I’m headed to bed with my book. I have a busy day tomorrow, but most of it is fun stuff – like helping Karen get a smart phone!!

    I loved the Camelbak bottle– so much that I bought it TWICE– and both times, part of the top flippy straw component broke. (i.e. the ONLY part of the bottle that is not replaceable at the store.) sigh. Perhaps they have made improvements, I gave up a year ago.

    I don’t mean this facetiously at all, but have you eaten anything remotely “bad” for you during your pregnancy? I was plagued with around-the-clock nausea/puking during my first trimester and all I could eat was Kraft mac and cheese and bagels. As a competitive cyclist, I rarely eat processed food or junk, but this pregnancy has brought on some odd cravings. Luckily, I feel much better now and I am back to my healthier eating habits, but I have definitely indulged in some cravings that I am not ashamed to admit (sugary cereal, greasy pizza NOT like the kind I make from scratch at home, egg rolls galore…)
    I should probably take a page from your book when it comes to what I put in my bowl every morning…yikes.

        Wonderful news. I do hope you take a piece of thought though…life isn’t a “reality show”. Don’t get too wrapped up in the publicity, your job, media,etc…remember being in real life in real moments with your baby, your family and friends.

    My husband likes the Camelbak water bottle. We also have the Nathan stainless steel with straw, no biting required. Both are handy to have around and we always bring one when we’re out running errands.
    Just got the Samsung Galaxy S III, love it! Still getting used to the touch screen typing, I went from a BlackBerry. Android phones are much better! Full Google maps, better user interface, bigger screen.

      p.s. We went to RadioShack and got better deals on our phones instead of going to a Sprint store and were able to sign up for Sprint. The phones give you a free trial of voicemail reader, then it’s $1.99/month, so ask them to turn it off for you if you don’t want it.

    I love my camelbak and really enjoy the biting and drinking at the same time at this point (it’s been years; I’ve gone through about 4 or 5 at this point). But they do leak when there’s some sort of change in pressure, so be careful. The major times are when you fill it with cold water and go out for a hot day (the water heating up increases pressure and bubbles out the straw), being outside in the winter and coming inside, and riding on planes. So don’t pack your water bottle into your backpack for the plane or you’ll end up soaking everything!

    Awesome, Kath! Glad the crew arrived.

    I have the same water bottle and LOVE it. Two things I’ve experienced though: one – when I take it on an airplane and it’s full of water, the pressure changes cause it to leak unless you are drinking out of it on a constant basis. two – same thing happens in the car when it’s really hot. It’s odd – but it happens!

      Hey, Kath! I am just about to buy an e-reader, contemplating the Samsung tablet you suggested and the Nook Color – which design-wise seems much sharper than the Kindle Fire (plus I like the local in store support should it be necessary.) My take is that the Samsung you bought is more versatile in that it offers full Internet access, but the battery life and monitor less desirable for purely reading – which is my intention. I’ve been pondering the pros and cons of each since you inspired me to push this decision to the top of my priority list once again. Any insight to help sway me? Do you find the screen more difficult on your eyes (glare?) when reading for a long stretch of time?

      Coincidentally, a smart phone upgrade is next so I’m excited to find out re. your shopping excursion w/Karen. I’m leaning toward an iphone myself, but I’m all ears…

        Hey Karen : )

        I think your choice should probably depend on how you’re going to use it. I use my tablet mostly at home, so battery life isn’t an issue. I probably use it an hour a day for surfing the web in the mornings and evenings and maybe 1-2 hours of reading a day (including insomnia reading!!) and find that I only have to charge it about every third day. I don’t find the screen glare bad at all, and i like how easy it is to adjust the brightness (because day to night is such extreme).

        The internet, Google-friendlyness and ability to get the pregnancy apps, Facebook, Google Reader, Twitter, a camera, Instagram, etc was very important to me, so I was thrilled with the tablet. I don’t know too much about the Nook, but it seems to me that Kindle might be more popular (more cheap books, more sharing, library borrowing, etc) so I’d be inclined to recommend the tablet over the Nook. I haven’t ever played with a Nook though so I don’t really know! I think you should go to the store and play with both of them to see which you like better for usability.

          Much appreciated, Kath …I have become quite enamored w/ purchasing on Amazon in recent months, so that’s where the Kindle Fire does have a huge edge over the Nook in my view. The battery drawback sounds like it would be a non-issue for me as well. If the screen is comfortable on your eyes, then maybe I should just go for the more bells and whistles Samsung tablet; my sister sings it’s praises too.

          P.S. Don’t forget to record SYTYCD tonight! 🙂

    You are working it Momma! 🙂 Can’t wait to learn more about why the film crew was there.

    We bought some of the camelback water bottles new at a yard sale for $1 each (the only drawback…they say carhart on them). We love them. If you will hold your bite on the tip while you release suction, the water will go back down in the bottle and help with some of the leakage issues. If I forget to do that, that is when I find that they leak on the plane or in the car. Also, the bottle fits nicely in the water bottle holder on my bike.

    I love my camelbak(s) so much. I drink water super fast with them. Problems: the mold on the bite part…I buy new bites and replace them…and then at some point, I buy another bottle. One other issue, I leave them in places! One is currently in my friend’s car. I think another one has been gifted to the universe recently. I rarely lose things…total love/hate with the camelbaks.

Try to keep things simple and chill; focus on a today and don’t get overwhelmed with all of the unknowns and activity to come in the few weeks. Most of your to-dos are done; now’s the time to start learning to cut yourself some slack.
