What I Learned From Home Videos

Angela recently had our home movies put onto DVD's. They have been hilarious and very educational. Here's what I learned:

• I am a blonde and should never try red/burgundy, black, or splotchy hair
• Pleather pants are never ok
• You always grow into the person you are supposed to be. The Director who has a plan and needs you to "stay in the corner" or The Star who is just happy to have some attention
• No matter how much you hate your baby brother he's adorable and you're lucky to have him
• Some of the best times happen when you don't even know it
• Take video of your Grandparents, because once they die, it's nice to remember them
• Take video of babies, because when they grow up, it's hard to remember them being cute and little
• Skateboarding isn't exciting in 1992 and still hasn't gotten any better in 2002
• If you want to try out for American Idol, videotape yourself first and make sure you have talent. Luckily Angela and I do.
• It's ok to be a little humiliated, you were young and didn't know better
• You have to come to terms with the wrinkles and pounds you have gained since being taped
• We were all stupid giggly girls once, so let's not be haters anymore
• The 90's were awesome filled with Smurfs and New Kids

It's been wonderful to go back in time and hear the laughs of kids who have grown up or people who have passed away. I'm so blessed to have had such a wonderful childhood and a little less blessed that it's now going to follow me forever! Haha!! Jen
