Walking is Important

Remember last year when I wrote about the interview that I did for Alpha Mom?

Well, I thought (hoped? prayed?) that they had forgot all about that video and that I'd never see it online because oh, I DID THE MONKEY. But, guess what?

They didn't forget.

The video is up.

I DID THE MONKEY.

I don't have much to say about it except that what I said about The Liquor? Was a joke. I probably should have said something like "ha! ha! KIDDING!" But, I didn't

OOPS. [Doug Heffernan Voice]AWKWARD[/Doug Heffernan Voice]

Also? I "walk". That is what I do for "me" time.

I walk.

Because I am a Winner.

The interview was great. You were so relaxed & natural. And funny. Loved the dance!

So cute, you doing the monkey just made my day. The editing after your drinkin joke was most unfortunate. Did she at least laugh when you said it?

Posted by: Arianne at July 18, 2007 10:59 AM

Oh Y...I think I love you more after seeing you do the Monkey.

And they kind of left that alcohol joke hanging. *lol*

Posted by: Kyla at July 18, 2007 11:24 AM

That was a great interview!
I laughed at the drinking stuff. So many times when the boys were little, I would get so frustrated and scream out I needed a drink.
I think that's totally normal to say something like that...LOL

The dance moves, too funny hahaha

Posted by: Kat at July 18, 2007 11:24 AM

I loved the entire thing!

Y...somehow, because of the hilarity and goofy stylings of your writings, I expected your demeanor to be much more, um..."Jenny McCarthy" goofy-ish...

But as it turns out you are very feminine, poised and proper! I was pleasantly surprised!

I can see why your husband thinks you are sexy. You have a very sexy aura about you.... It's true! And I'm no lesbo!!

And The Monkey was awesome!

Great job!

OMG! You just made my day. Thanks for that.

Great interview.

Posted by: Chrissy at July 18, 2007 11:27 AM

I was only acting like that because I was trying to be professional. HAHA.

When I was watching it, I was like WHO IS THAT PERSON?

Also, the alcohol thing. Ok, we were talking about it and I made that joke and then I was all "should I say that? Will people think it's funny?"

and they were all "yes!"

ANd we laughed. But the editing makes it look like I was all "No, seriously, YOU NEED THESE THINGS."

But, whatever. ha.

Posted by: Y at July 18, 2007 11:28 AM

Ok, so I just fired both the the editor and the associate producer who was in charge of editing that piece. Just kidding.

Seriously, though, I agree that the timing was off and it came off awkward. Though I am more upset about that we let Yvonne ramble about her walking.

And, it will be fixed ASAP. I try to delegate some responsibility and see what happens? Oh well. I must have been without coffee when I approved the final version. I just asked my associate producer to relook at the final footage and she was all like, what is wrong with this?

Sorry Y and thanks for being so gracious about it!

Posted by: Isabel Kallman at July 18, 2007 11:59 AM

Oh, Isabel. I love you.

"I WALK! Um, let me think, what else? OH! I WALK!"

....to the liquor store to buy the THREE THINGS THAT EVERY PARENT MUST HAVE.

ha. It's ok. I'm the one that said it. It was bad delivery, not bad editing. haha.

Posted by: Y at July 18, 2007 12:02 PM

You made my day, Y. You're a very lovely person. My best to you and I hope you'll be feeling better and out of pain, soon.

Posted by: jayne d'Arcy at July 18, 2007 12:25 PM

I agree with the comment above in that I also expected you to be goofier, but you were very well spoken and you have a beautiful voice! I thought it was a great interview that was funny and genuine.

Posted by: Angela at July 18, 2007 12:35 PM

OMG THE FUCKING MONKEY! I can't move I am laughing so hard. AWESOME Y!

Posted by: kirsten at July 18, 2007 12:57 PM

Y! Omaha, NE here! You are AWESOME! I work 7-4 and don't even start doing ANYTHING productive until I read your post for the day! Thank you for the realness and laughter you provide me!

Posted by: Michele at July 18, 2007 12:59 PM

I laughed the hardest after you said, "a bottle of cheap wine, a bottle of tequila, and a bottle of rum"
yesssss!! The delivery was fine; I knew you were joking (right? right?) har!

Posted by: Deanna at July 18, 2007 1:11 PM

Hahahaha! Three bottles of liquor! You dirty alcoholic! ;)

Posted by: Karly at July 18, 2007 4:22 PM

you are beautiful!

Posted by: amanda at July 18, 2007 6:40 PM

Y, you are THE best!! I seriously believe that we (the internet population) should start a campaign. You NEED to be President of the United States. Hands down you are the best person for the job. No nonsense, totally honest, beautiful (in body and spirit), you, my dear would get the job done!!! I'm writin' your name in!!!

Love your blog, love you, love your family. Get well quick! We all need you!

Posted by: Snickers at July 18, 2007 9:03 PM

secondly, i am SO going to be linking back frequently until i can master the monkey myself! ;-)

love you, lady!

Posted by: kim at July 18, 2007 9:36 PM

Y, you are simply beautiful!! And I totally laughed at the alcohol joke, bad editing or not!

Posted by: Beth - Sensible One at July 19, 2007 5:09 AM

I didn't expect your voice to sound like that. I don't know why.....It's not a bad thing!!!!!! I LOVED your version of the Monkey! I tried to do that one time and looked like well, not a monkey. More like the Crack Whore that I hear about from your buest blogger.lol!

Posted by: burnurcomputer at July 19, 2007 6:07 AM

Why do I get a link to a video interview with Catherine Connors?

Posted by: DeannaBanana at July 19, 2007 7:51 AM

Posted by: Jess in MI at July 19, 2007 7:58 AM

IF you click on "videos" mine should be there. They're just putting a new one up on the homepage every day.

So, mine is still up, you just have to find it. ;-)

Posted by: Y at July 19, 2007 8:44 AM

HIL-AR-IOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the monkey. Holla! And is there anything wrong with cheap wine, tequila and rum? Uh, nooo!

Good stuff, Y!

Posted by: Incognito at July 19, 2007 9:37 AM

I mean this in the best way possible: you have a valley girl voice! I love it :) And the editing on the "three things" question is hilarious.

Y: ...and a bottle of rum.
Stone-faced interviewer: MOVING RIGHT ALONG!

I love it. Thanks for letting us know!

Posted by: p at July 19, 2007 9:41 AM

Am I smoking crack because I just sat through an interview with Catherine Conners after clicking that link. There was no Y doing the monkey for me. :(

Posted by: Joelle at July 19, 2007 12:42 PM

Ok. I just went looking for it and found it here.

But I had to pause to tell you that I LOVE the Monkey. That was brilliant. I was waiting for you to do The Lion, too.

Posted by: Joelle at July 19, 2007 12:49 PM

i'm so glad i found it and i love it. you are so freakin' cute. and it was fun to actually see you and hear you for a change. thanks for putting it up :)

Posted by: kim at July 20, 2007 7:26 AM

Loved it! Seeing you somehow made you much more real to me. Thanks for being there when I have a bad day. I can always open up your blog and have a laugh or a good cry.

Posted by: Melissa at July 22, 2007 9:46 AM

I can't believe you did that.

Doug laughed.

I can't believe you did that.

Posted by: melly at July 22, 2007 2:22 PM

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
