Uncle Joe made a birthday video for Grandma New York out of footage from the family trip to Lake George, New York last summer.
The Mayor likes to watch it over and over again.
Somehow this seems more acceptable than the endless stream of corporate characters and advertising directed at my 2 year old television therefore we are indulgent.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah... I'm one of those INFLEXIBLE, RIGID and COLD parents with freaky rules limiting my children's access to the television. So judge me now.)
Anyway, I watched the birthday video with The Mayor last night.
More specifically, I watched myself in the video (over and over and over again.)
The great, repetitive self-watching caused me to have a powerful epiphany.
I realized that...
I am undeniably, a dork of immeasurable proportions.
So impossibly vast is my dorkitude, a deep crevasse of dorkism if you will.
A great voice welled up from the very center of my soul and yelled,
Luckily, my soul's alter ego shouted back,
"SO WHAT? WHO ISN'T?"
(...and it might be relevant to note that I am huge dork who just got Photoshop. Oh, the joy that layeth ahead...)

I so love the pics! Yeah, I don't like seeing myself on video either. Very discomforting - "I walk around like that every day?"
Bravo to you for being inflexible, rigid and cold about the TV!
Dorks of the world unite baby! Didn't you know that dorky is the new sexy?
Oh, the photoshop.... You know, Big Daddy is an IT monkey-why don't I have photoshop? Hmmmm...maybe more nekkidness=photoshop for Queenie.
Good for you on the tv. You know I'm with you.
Photoshop dorks are my kind of dorks.
LOL! I just got finished reading your last few posts, and I can TOTALLY relate with everything!
PS - I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who uses S-E-X as a bargaining tool for some "me" time. You crack me up!
I was having a lousy morning, so I appreciate the good laugh :-)
A HOT dork. Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
:)
Beware the lure and power of photoshop...
Up with dorks!
/still want to learn photoshop, have not taken the time.....
OMG! You're killing me. I love the photos. Dork or not; you are damn sexy!In my book you are a MILF who is comfortable with her inner dorkiness.
Don't be freaked out, but I think I love you.
um, yeah...the whole Jess got a new toy and is making merry with her bubble captions didn't escape me.
i love it.
There's a dorkus amongus.
Dorks UNITE!
Fun word: dork, dorky, dorktitude, dorkifying, DORKALICIOUS!
From one dork to another! I love dorks, esp. hot ones!! ;-)
Oooo - new toys!
And I agree with you about the nasty TV - my son's room is full of stuff he doesn't play with in testament to the wisdom of limiting TV. We avoided the commercial stuff when he was little, but at around 4, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon started sneaking in and... well, that was it.
Well yer darn cute for a dork!!
Photoshop? I'm thinking I might be jealous!!!
OH Photoshop! Fancy pants! Looking forward to pictures with captions! Awesome.
I am a huge dork, too.
In fact I asked my husband last night if I was this goofy when we first got married. He promptly replied no.
DORKS UNITE!
I KNOW that you're not pointing at me!!
and BRAVA limiting that crap called television! I say, shoot it.
Hahahaha! Love the pics!
maybe so, maybe so - but yer a bit tasty with it.
You're right. THere is an inner dork in us all. Some more than others. But if you embrace it...it makes you a little bit cool.
My kids are 4 and 2 and 9 months. They already KNOW I am a dork. What does that say about me?
I think we've all got a little bit of dork in us!
We're all dorks - just some of us aren't afraid to let everyone know it. You're brave, that's it, brave!
Or something. I dunno, this little comment box is making me feel all hemmed in today. Sorry :)
Dorks are the new Cool! And day-am you look amazing in those photos and in your new profile photo, lady. Rock on.

Whoa, a dork with Photoshop. Never heard of that before.
YAY for dorkitude! Can we line up for the PhotoShop lessons?
Absolutely DORKILARIOUS! Your blog is now in my links list, so that others may find you and enjoy your Dorkiness ;)
Look at that--you're bringing out all of us closet-dorks! My husband and I? Both dorks--one of the things that drew us together.
Dorky is Beautiful!
You're right - everyone IS a dork! Gotta love that PhotoShop, huh? :D

Yeah, I am a big dork too.....and damn proud of it!!
I love love love the pictures you have been adding......you are really a beautiful person and your sense of humour absolutely makes my day! Please, don't ever stop!!!
OMG. I *LOVE* your blog.
Don't get freaked out by this but...
I think I have a crush on you.
I just thought you should know.
:)
None of us can escape the dork factor. We blog, hence we are all kind of dorky. I am very jealous of your photoshop.
Was wondering about all the self-portraits! Maybe I should do one with my cool photo booth feature.. then people wouldn't be subjected to seeing my enormous belly every time I comment!
Freeze Dork! Put the mouse down and slowly step away from the computer -- this is the Geek squad and we've got ya surrounded!
Nice pics.
Oh I could teach you so many thing, grasshopper. In dorkdom AND Photoshop. ;)
Live on in dorkdom!
Plus, seems to me that most dorks do really well (ie: Bill Gates to name one).
Ahhh, the joys of being able to relish in your own dorkiness! I cringe at mine while I watch the home videos from my childhood. Can you say SPAZZZZZ?
I am a Photoshop afficiando.I've been on it since the beginning. However, I have never seen the balloons. Did you make those yourself or are they a part of the program that I have yet to discover.
I applaud your television monitoring.
I am LOVING the photoshop! I may need to get this for myself! I am with you on the children's tv thing. I have an idea for a post that centers soley around my complete loathing of "Higglytown Heroes" UGH!
PS: I am a TOTAL DORK! Maybe that is why I like you so much! :)
Your pictures seriously make me LOL!! You are hysterical!! Don't worry, we ALL look like dorks in our own videos. You are in GREAT company!
I love your pix. You're so animated! And if you ask me, being dorky is the new black.

Photoshop elevates you right up to dork heaven. Join the club! :)
You got Photoshop? I want Photoshop!
Joy, you are so goofy. I love it! Stop being so endearing, dammit! ;)
Photoshop dorks unite!
A dork with lovely cheekbones.
Yes, but you're a skinny, hot dork with a hell of a sense of humor.
Like Cameron Diaz but less scary.
You could totally have kept Justin.
Hey!
Heeeeeeyyyy?
Are you pointing at me at calling me a Dork?
Hey, I resemble that remark!!!
Wear your dorkiness proudly, we dorks rule the world. We are typically the most creative, interesting and innovative in the crowd.
Get Down with your dorkyself.
sour kraut - it's on the tool bar under Custom Shapes (the one that looks like an amoeba). You can pick different shapes on the bar along the top. I am assuming you have a newer version or I am telling you this for nothing. lol
OMG you are a crack up!!!!
I'm near the end of my Photoshop trial, and suffice it to say that I'm addicted. They could charge me $500 for the license and I wouldn't blink.
You slay me. I think we need to visit one of those drugstore photo booths and totally dork out.
Hey! I'm a huge dork that just got photoshop too!
See, you were right. You are not alone.
Dork IS the new sexy...
PS-getting photoshop this weekend...now I'll be a dork WITH photoshop! It doesn't get any better than that!!!
Maybe we could be Dilf's instead? :)
Oh you will have so much fun with Photoshop. The pics are great.
You are too funny...of course we're all dorks. That's what makes us interesting.
The pictures were awesome, too. Excellent work :)
Yeah buddy, buddy, buddy!
YOU + photoshop sounds like...
"Goodtimes.....goodtimes...."
My kids have just come to the realization that their old man is a hardcore geek. this amuses them.
They've always known I was a dork.
If you really are a dork -- which I doubt -- then you're right, you're not alone. I'm dorky too!
I love dorks, so dork away! And you are not alone, you are in good company (if you consider the likes of me to be good company, that is).
P.S. I love your top!
P.P.S. Photoshop? Kiss daylight goodbye.
The pics are awesome - I think we would get along well if ever we were to meet... by the way - one of my favorite words is Dorkasaurus... you are not alone in the dork world :) I'm one too!
