“It ain’t the highlights!”
I’ve just crawled into bed after one of the busiest weekends of my life, and while I know I should just wait ’til tomorrow morning to check in, I couldn’t help but log on and say hello to ya’ll.
I was out of town this weekend for some stuff and didn’t really have a free minute at all to check in. I had written a post for you right before I left but when I tried to publish it from my Very Complicated Cell Phone, it created quite the little problem. And then the post was eaten alive by the blog monster. Farewell, blog post — we’ll miss you.
Now that you’re adequately bored, I’d like to spice things up a bit. Do ya’ll remember my cousin Cate, the one who is… well, country? Cate offered to go with me this weekend so I wouldn’t be traveling alone and, since I spent 13 hours in the car, I sure was glad to have her along for the ride. That is, until The Bad Hair Incident occurred.
I was trying to finish getting ready for an important meeting when I had an absolute hair crisis. Cate, bless her lazy little heart, just sat on the couch as I shouted various demands to my hair from the bathroom down the hall. After listening to me and my hair have it out for a few minutes, Cate decided to help out — by making a little video of the crisis.
Now. I almost didn’t post this video because I’m not wearing make-up in it, but once I saw it, I knew ya’ll just had to hear Cate’s accent. And, well, her snorting.
We don’t know why Cate snorts when she laughs, but by goodness, she does it each and every single time something cracks her up. It is hilarious — and she thinks so too. Even funnier? The fact that Cate filmed this sideways.
If you don’t laugh when she says “It ain’t the highlights!” then we need to talk because, friend, something is wrong with you.
Also, I did the research for you — Cate snorts seven different times in this one minute video.
You’re welcome.

This is funny in so many ways I don’t even know where to start.
So I’ll just say “snort* and be on my way.

Now that my neck hurts from watching that video I am going to say your cousin is very funny and I can’t believe you don’t have make-up on. You are gorgeous! And I mean that I’m not just blowing smoke up…anywhere

I have made many a video sideways like that. You would think I would remember after the first couple of times.
I didn’t hear no accent neither.

Hah, I heard an accent! But then again I guess I would. That was far too funny, your cousin cracks me up!
Hope you had a fun weekend Amy Beth:) Yes the novelty of your name still hasn’t worn off!

Well, girl! If I looked that great without make-up I wouldn’t have a care in the world about my hair!
BTW, I do like your highlights!

That is the BEST snorting I have ever heard. Ever. But I do gotta say, her accent sounds like yours! To me…but what do I know, I’m just a Yankee *snort!*

I thought you would be way over the no make-up thing. In your Shamu video you were in your bathrobe and had a towel on your head. I love your easy-going style. It inspires me to throw caution to the wind.
That’s why I did my own video last week. Have you seen this? http://discoveringliz.blogspot.com/2008/06/challenge.html It was entirely inspired by you.

I love the look you gave her when she said “It’s not that bad” – actually, I think it sounded like “Hit’s nawt thay-at bay-ad”
LOVE the accent – both of you

Oh my, the snorting! Too funny. And girl, I’ve got NO room to judge ANYBODY’S accent!

Um, about the accent… you do realize you have one too, right? At least in WA you’d both have accents. I think it’s pretty
