Hey there Mixies!
So, I took one for the team, and by “took one” I mean I made a complete fool of myself, and by “the team” I mean Janene and Christine of More Than Mommies. See, they had this idea that we should create a vlog, and they gave us questions so we didn’t ramble like idiots. Unfortunately, their direction was lost on me. To keep up appearances, I’m coming to you straight from my morning pee: teeth unbrushed, face sans make-up, and hair untouched. What you’re seeing is what my husband gets every morning. Lucky, lucky man.
You have been warned:

That was so much fun to watch! I can never imagine myself vlogging! but I enjoyed your Vlog! ๐
crazy14 says
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Every time I watch it, I want to mute myself ๐
Dani Ryan says
OMG. THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! I love that I now know what you look like, how you sound, etc. etc. My only annoyance is that you look THAT GOOD without make-up and brushed teeth. How is that even possible?! Oh, and the Starbucks thing? Don’t even get me started…
Thanks for the Friday morning laugh!!!!
xo
crazy14 says
Oh, Dani, it was awful. Dreadful. Ridiculous. Yet I may do it again! So thank you ๐
Christine at More Than Mommies says
YAY! You did great, Steph. Your video is awesome–just like you are! And thanks for sucking it up for us.
crazy14 says
You’re kind, Christine, thank you ๐ I actually had fun; if I had more time, I would have edited it so it wasn’t so long. Next time!
Christie says
First of all, I can’t tell you how AWESOME it is to get a chance to “see” you after all of these years!!! You haven’t changed a bit and I adore you for that! Also, you write EXACTLY as you talk…which means what you put on this blog is truthfully what you’re thinking…if you followed that, I adore you for that also. I laughed (not at you) through the entire video…my kids did, too! PLEASE do more of these!!!! At a time when laughter seems to be escaping me, I am so appreciative of the 4 minutes or so where you made me laugh so hard my non-existent abs hurt and coffee spurted out of my nose! You rock, lady!!!
crazy14 says
Awww, well, see that just makes it totally worth it. I SHALL VLOG MORE!!!!!!
xo
Sarah Almond says
THE COOKIE CRUMBLE FRAPPUCINO! Yes my ass knows that drink well… luckily I don’t get them that often or my butt would be much bigger.
Oh my, you are a natural Vlogger. A STAR! I only wish I could come to your little par-tay with Scary Mommy. I’m hoping you’re going to record some of it so I can pretend I’m there after the fact!
crazy14 says
The Cookie Crumble goodness. Yes. Mmmmmmmm…
I was thinking about recording parts of the Scary Mommy thing, but I don’t think I know how to edit all the snippets together! Still might try, just for you, Sarah ๐
April says
Thank you … that was awesome!
crazy14 says
I’m blushing. Mostly because I’m an idiot who filmed herself and then allowed the public to see. But thank you.
Mrs.AOK says
LOVED IT!!!
XO
crazy14 says
Thanks, lady!!
Jenn @ Something Clever 2.0 says
Shemar Moore is on “Criminal Minds,” and he is, indeed a work of art.
crazy14 says
“A work of art.” Yes!
Jenn @ Mommy Needs A Martini says
Wait for it!! It’s like a partyyyyyy!! Boom! hahaha LOVE THIS!!!
crazy14 says
Bahahaha!! Thanks, Jenn!! You’re always so supportive of my crazy and I appreciate that ๐
christie says
Step aside ladies, Shemar has been on my radar for YEARS. Okay? Just so we are straight on that.
And I am going to go all geeky and also say that Michael Buble….yeah. Him.
I did like the pics of the fam in the background. Nice touch.
crazy14 says
I’m going to give you Buble and raise you Harry Connick, Jr. ๐
The fam pics were totally planted so people would see the affectionate side of my crazy self.
Valerie says
Loved the Vlog – Keep it up!!!!!
crazy14 says
๐
Valerie says
Loved the vlog! Keep them coming!
crazy14 says
Oh, Val, I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic like I like or if you enjoy witnessing me humiliate myself. Maybe I’m just really great at being on camera with greasy skin and gross teeth. Who knows? ๐
vernette says
I loved it. You sound exactly like the ‘voice’ I’ve heard coming through your blog posts (hope that doesn’t creep you out). It is beyond cool to know that what we see/read is what we get. You keep it real! Great job Stephanie.
crazy14 says
That’s the best compliment ever, Vernette. I just wanna squeeze ya!
Mom Rants and Comfy Pants says
You are a ROCK STAR!!!!! I really loved it and hope you’ll do more. Have a great time Saturday!
crazy14 says
I’m considering doing more over the summer because I don’t have the time to write as much AND because my stats are down so less people will see my crazy arse! Bahahaha! Thanks for the support and kindness, Penny! xo
Menopausalmother says
You are a RIOT and I heart you so hard! Jill is going to love you too, so have a GREAT time!! I’ll be thinking about you and anxious to hear how it goes (pictures and videos, please!!!).
crazy14 says
I only squeezed in one vlog for the Scary Mommy fun! I wanted to do more, but time just didn’t allow. Time and that Long Island Iced Tea that had me super silly, but whatever. ๐
Chris Carter says
LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!! You are not only adorable and freaking BEAUTIFUL… (seriously, no way in HELL I would go in front of a camera without brushing my teeth). You are so good at speaking so eloquently and clearly in front of a camera Steph!!! OHMYGOSH I am sooooo impressed!
I just wanted to be in the room with you….:)
Have an AWESOME dream come true DAY!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
crazy14 says
Oh, you speak nonsense, Christine Carter!!! My greasy face tells a different tale, but I so appreciate your kind words! And I’ll share a room with you any day ๐
Crystal Green says
I loved your little video. It was really neat to feel like you were right here in the room with me just babbling away telling me about yourself. ๐ I never know what to blab about for something like that. ๐
crazy14 says
Crystal, I was fortunate in that Christine and Janene TOLD me what to say. When I’m left to my own devices, all bets are off!!!!!!
karen says
OMG..LOVED your vlog babe…you ROCKED it…I enjoyed listening to you. my crush…is Jackson Rathbone…oh man what a DILF
I am between nachos and chocolate…those are my guilty pleasures…
crazy14 says
Okay, so I Googled this Jackson fella and he looks like a baby!! You’re telling me he has his OWN babies?! I wanna put him in my pocket and pet his head like Lennie’s mouse in Of Mice and Men. I just went dork on you. I’m done.
Jill Pinnella Corso says
Ahh! You’re just as adorable as I’d imagined! I was nervous, too. Didn’t think you could live up to your own hype. Forgive me.
More vlogs! More vlogs!
crazy14 says
HA!! If anyone needs to start vlogging, it’s YOU! Requires much less time than piecing together a piece of writing and we’ll be seeing more of your famous face soon anyway, so….
Carisa Miller says
Dude. Last week, I tried out the video function on my laptop and rolled out a doozy of a rambler, all unscripted and natural, like yours. I was surprisingly okay with it and went to show it to my husband before plastering it on my about page. I am not going to get all pissy with him online behind his back for voicing his opinion, which he is most definitely entitled to. BUT, I let his opinion change my mind. AND, he just walked past me as I was watching this. I paused and said something like “Here’s Stephanie all natural and unscripted, ranting on camera like I did. She is talking on the fly and just took a drink of coffee.” (I may have picked my teeth in my video.) “Her clip is 4 1/2 minutes long and I’m going to watch all of it.” (Mine was 7.) “I might even watch it twice. And I LOVE it.” And then I stuck my tongue out at him.
That was great!!! I hope your visit with Jill was fun. I’ve been slacking on keeping up on my reading lately. I’m happy to have visited when I could be surprised by an ‘in person’ post from you.
crazy14 says
Carisa, my husband watched mine and suggested I have a script next time and that I keep it under two minutes, so we may be married to the same man ๐ So glad you stopped by when you did!!!!! And I say go for the vlogs, lady!!!!!
Meredith says
You are too funny! And TOO CUTE! And you always have me rolling. Now please come here and be my personal vlogging coach STAT.
crazy14 says
I’ll be there in about 5 hours, after pee breaks and apparently other bathroom events. We need to talk!
Emmy says
Loved your affects! You are a great vlogger and always great to keep it real. Oh and Piers so so on my list too, can’t even stand listening to him!! Came over from the #Sitssummer
crazy14 says
Emmy, I had so much fun with this craziness! I didn’t expect to, but I REALLY did!! Thanks so much for stopping by, lady!
Heather says
I think you already know this by now but that was amazing. I loved the vlog! So glad to have found you!
crazy14 says
I don’t understand the draw to my pointless rambling, but the masses seem to enjoy it, so here goes nothing: we shall vlog!!! ๐
Thanks so much, Heather ๐
Kristine @the foley fam says
LOVE vlogs and yours is no exception! I did a few months ago and not quite sure why I stopped but it is so much easier to have a prompt. I’d totally ramble all over the place ๐ Happy to have found your spunky self thru Sits Facebook Page ๐
Kristine –The Foley Fam {unedited}
crazy14 says
Hey, lady!! Thanks so much! I’m finding vlogging is easier than writing; I don’t have to worry about editing or the other laborious parts of the writing process. I just may stick with vlogging through the summer months because I’m lazy like that!!!
Thanks for stopping by! I’m returning the favor now ๐
Jen--Real Life Parenting says
So, I’m supposed to be packing for a trip (driving from PA to WI … Just call us the Griswolds!) and I decided to procrastinate and check my email. And I saw this little gem in there. So I watched it. Best way to procrastinate–ever!! Too fun … I’m a double Chocolately Chip whipped drink from Da’ Bucks. Yah. I know it’s just a glorified milkshake, so Piers and Dr. Drew can just shut their pie holes!! Well done … Looking forward to the next one!!
crazy14 says
THE GRISWOLDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re my new favorite person. Also because you liked my vlog and didn’t think it was a crazy mess ๐
Jen--Real Life Parenting says
If you’re a die hard Cmas Vacation fan like me, maybe we could get together and vlog a little reenactment scene ๐ Crazy mess?? Puh-leaze! Maybe one of these days I’ll get brave and try a vlog … then you’ll get a glimpse of crazy mess. Btw, you had me at ADD!!
crazy14 says
Bahahahahahahahaha!!! Can I Crisco my sled and launch myself down a hill at warp speed? My dad smokes cigars; he can be Uncle Louis. I’ve got it all figured out! Hehehe!
laura says
you’re SO MUCH braver than I am. I’m curious about vlogging… yet I can’t seem to make that leap. CONGRATS!!!!
(ps… new from sits. nice to ‘meet’ you)
Janine Huldie says
I loved it and seriously sorry haven’t gotten here sooner, but finally checking up. You really had me cracking up about Starbucks and seriously you have found your calling with Vlogging. You go girl!! ๐
crazy14 says
You’re so sweet–thank you! My husband isn’t a fan of the vlogs; he’s either the only honest one or he’s in the minority!
Kat says
This was so good! Your breath was a little off, but you’re hilarious! More. Videos!
crazy14 says
My breath is always off. I forget to breathe when I talk ๐
