Writing for a site every week can be challenging. I spend a lot of time thinking, “What am I going to write about?” or “How can I make this lesbionic?” or “Is that a sea monkey in my water glass?” You will be relieved to know (as I was) that it was not a sea monkey in my glass though maybe a sea monkey would be better than backwash from a kid who shared your glass without your knowledge.
So, I was talking with a couple of the editors here at Lesbian Family and the idea of multimedia content came up and I said, “I will do a vlog!” and they said, “That’s a great idea!” though maybe they were in a sleep-deprived delirium and will soon regret their encouragement.
I have never really vlogged before and I really hope that I will get better. You might hope I get better too. My plan was to set a timer for 3 minutes and just talk about a topic. As I found today, 3 minutes is not very long…especially when you ramble.
This is obviously unscripted and that will not change. Just think of these vlogs as little surprises! They will be like the prizes you get in the bottom of cereal boxes. Actually, I don’t even know if they still do that.
I remember the best prize I got in Cap’n Crunch – a tiny blue plastic submarine that you could fill with baking soda which would then make it dive and surface in the bathtub.
But not all prizes can be submarines – sometimes, you get a piece of cardboard with a picture of Cap’n Crunch.
Sometimes these vlogs might be adorable submarines and sometimes they might be pieces of cardboard to be thrown away immediately.
There. I have issued the necessary disclaimer.
Wait – one more disclaimer! I really didn’t mean to talk about boobs. I meant to talk about breastfeeding. Unscripted stuff is hard.
On with the show…

Ok, that’s even more epic than bathing the cat.
Squirrel.
Off the rails as usual. Do you have a hairy squirrel story to share?
Thanks for the shout out to those of us in Europe. I am, in fact, in Albania where we have no squirrels. Sad.
Will this be a weekly vlog? I can’t wait!
Cheers to Europe! Also, I am sad that you don’t have squirrels. Of course, they are rodents so maybe I shouldn’t care.
As for the blog…it will be monthly. I think that will be plenty of nonsense!
The UK is home to red squirrels, but the gray squirrels imported from the US are taking over. A few years ago, the New York Times ran an article about the red squirrel issue there and said that the cute red squirrels of Beatrix Potter fame are no match against the back alley gray ones. “The grays are larger and tougher and meaner than the reds.” Ever since I read that article, I have despised the gray squirrel. I hate bullies.

I keep growing the middle stripe of my hair out and now I look like a pony.
Can I call you My Little Pony? No. That’s too weird. Even for me.
My hair looks like a shocked, rabid squirrel.
Little known fact: squirrels actually don’t carry rabies. I was shocked when I learned this.
This is a smashing success. Can’t wait for more. We should record a google hangout of all the contributors and it could be like the brady bunch opening where we are all looking up, down and side to side of each other.
Here’s the story…of a lovely lady…
OK? That is TOTALLY what Vikki said last week. So. Confirmed.
Next: I thought the best reply to this VLOG was a VOMMENT. Which, we can all tell, looks alarmingly like “vomit,” so I don’t recommend this neologism for general usage.

Brilliant. I now have super short hair. SUPER SHORT. Because I said to my stylist, “You know…we need to deal with that cowlick in the back. Maybe we should shave it all off.” And she did and now I have no hair on the backs and sides and half of the top but I have a little bit of long hair in the front. I have no idea what is happening.
I ramble like this too on vlogs but am not nearly as funny as you. Love it, Vikki. So funny.
Aww…thank you. A little of me vlogging goes a long way.
I can’t remember what I was going to say because “vomment.”
Vomment is gonna give me nightmares.
One last thing…I’m surprised no one took advantage of the opportunity to say that this vlog was a “let down”.
I was distracted by the squirrels. Nuts.
