Oprah copied Jenn (not the reverse)

Oprah, girl, quit copying me. Seriously. I buy something one day and by week's end it is on the Oprah show. If only this were true. I fear that the show today was a rerun. (Pretty positive it was. If you know this to be true keep it to yourself.) However, this is proof that if it is good enough for the Oprah show, it gets clearance for a post here on reesiepieciepoo. We only go high end baby. So without any further adieu our latest promotion or "Reese approved" product: flip video.
I can not take credit for discovering this. I first saw the one-time-use version of it at my cousin's wedding last weekend, then, days later the Braddy's were sporting one. I was mesmerized. It is the coolest thing ever. I did my research before buying and yes, the quality is not as great as an expensive camera, but it isn't too bad either. To put it clearly, it serves it's purpose. It's lightweight, fits in your purse, diaper bag, pocket and I swear Rookie could operate it (in case your not a dedicated followee to this blog, Rookie is our 3 1/2 year old bull mastiff and while he is very smart to us and has graduated from doggie school 3 times to be exact, I'm clearly stating that the device is that simple). Whew, that was a lot. By the way, not sure followee is a word, but in my world it is. I have been a terrible videographer since Reese was born (mainly b/c I feel this is a man's job. Jenn's rules: woman=photo gal, man=video guy) It makes sense to me. And once I determined this is the way it works, I left it up to Dallas. Turns out its hard to video from New Mexico. Well, unless you count Skype, he's not holding up his end of the bargain.
The flip has turned me into the paparazzi. Truly, I'm like the crazy camera woman(as if I didn't claim this title a long time ago). Reese isn't sure if she's being filmed or photographed..or both at the same time. This thing is just cool. There's a newer slimmer version (that has the same pixels,etc) that's $179. This one is $149 at best buy, target, but Sam's had it for $125. Cha-Ching. It runs on 2 AA batts. Also, it has 60 min. of recording time (believe it or not it takes forever to fill up 60 min.) It plugs right into your computer and you can upload them to you tube, blogger or burn to a cd. Here's a clip of Reese in action. Aunt Mhari came by to visit us at Meme's house. Something I must add before viewing...if you are a southerner (even one who spent 2 years in Arizona) your accent becomes stronger the minute you use a video camera. Just to forewarn you.
FYI: that is not a yard sale stroller in the video.  It was mine when I was little.  Anyone remember My Child?  This was my My Child's stroller.  It was legit back in the day.  Today, not so much.  I'm thinking she needs more of a jogger stroller to be a cool mom these days.  Also, she's blowing you a kiss at the end of the clip.  Enjoy!
I just know, after I click publish on this blog, they are going to be sold out everywhere (or at least Sam's Club). Impossible to find. People will be bidding on ebay. All because of reesiepieciepoo.
Absolutely nothing to do with the Oprah show.
