Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner

Being a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM for those of you who don't know the lingo!) has definitely been a very different experience for me this year. If you know me, you know that I don't have a stay-at-home kind of personality. I used to drive my husband crazy on the weekends, because I wanted to go out and do something while all he wanted to do was have a lazy day at home. Truth be told, Tim didn't think I would make it this year, and predicted I would be as looney as a dingbat by now. But I have made it, and have learned quite a bit about myself in the process. Here is one thing I learned...
I really enjoy TV talk shows! Not the kind that require you to give paternity tests to 15 different men to find out who fathered your illegitimate child. No, I mean the kind that have a comedy bit followed by silly segments and then short interviews with famous celebrities. My favorites are Live with Regis & Kelly and The Ellen Show. If you have ever watched The Ellen Show you will know that she has silly returning segments all the time, so I thought I would create The Mary Show and have returning segments to my BLOG site. To start it off, I am creating a segment entitled "Worst Photos Ever" (modeled after Ellen's "Best Photos Ever"). My first entry is a little embarassing to show, but you are family and some of you have seen me in very unflattering situations (Sue, I'm referring to you:), so I trust that you won't use this as blackmail at a later date. Check out the rolls under my arms (gosh, did I really get that big?) and the expression on my mom and Hailey's faces. It's as if they are both sniffing the wrong end of a dog that just ate some rancid beef. Enjoy!
