Oh. My. Goodness.
It has been many weeks since BoreBlogHer and the unflattering photos are still filtering in.
This one I am posting, because I told Allison I wouldn’t. And I like to mix it up like that.
Here is a classic totally inappropriate moment from the Files-of-being-Marcy. (formerly known as ‘The Magic of Me’)
Marcy: Hey let’s find the bar! What do you want to drink?
Allison: Yeah, um. I don’t drink. Its my religion….
Marcy: You don’t drink? That’s awful…I am SO SORRY.
I have since learned you really shouldn’t tell someone you are SORRY they are Mormon. It’s as if I think of being Mormons as having some kind of handicap. Which I don’t. Of course it occurs to me next time Allison and I hit the town together (and yes, there will be another time) I am totally going to offer to cover her bar tab. Cuz I am a giver like that. Not to mention the built-in designated driver angle. Come to think of it…this has all the makings of a beautiful friendship.
*Photo note: I have no idea whose double chin that is. It snuck into the photo without my permission.
If you know the rightful owner, please let me know. I am eager to return it.
And then there is this lovely photo of me and the lovely Susan from the Kodak tribe.
Taken by someone I don’t remember…
Which reminds me of a funny story. So I have this awesome Kodak digital frame in the kitchen. And it is totally wireless. And by wireless I mean it can suck the photos from my Flickr account automatically (it can suck from other places on your computer but that is how I have my set. Oh and yes ‘suck’ is a technical term.) And well I had uploaded to Flickr a bunch of photos like the one above with me holding shot glasses and martini glasses and even one with a stapler on my head from BlogHer. And forgot they will show up on my ‘magic Kodak frame’…So of course as I am sitting in my kitchen with my visiting MIL, I can see all these incriminating photos flashing behind her on the counter. She didn’t notice, but Tucker had to ask ‘Hey, Mom why do you have all those photos with you and drinks?’
“Because Mommy was very thirsty.”
My parenting skillz just keep getting better and better.
Nice.

Niiice.
This is my first post to read of yours and you crack me up! Thank you for practically making me wet myself from laughter! Keep it up! And by the way, your response to the drink in hand is the best yet. I will have to use it with my kiddos!
I went through a similar thing with trying to set up a coffee date with a friend. Why didn’t she tell me? I felt like an idiot when I found out.
Haaa haaa haa. Mormons have a sense of humor too. I really thought it was hilarious, and not just because I was so tired I might as well have been drunk. mwah.
I happen to like the photo of you and Allison. IT DOESN’T SUCK. And only Marcy would have a photo-sucking problem like that one. Well, Lucy Arnaz would have, too, if she had had access to the technology. :)
They should tell you about these little dilemmas BEFORE you get pregnant. Then you’d have time to cover your tracks. Or I would have time. You know what I mean.
