The Application

Picture of the Day:

Today I sent in my picture accompanied by my emailed application to play "Are you smarter than someone in the 5th Row" on the Ellen Show. I know...crazy.

First of all, there were a lot of smart looking people in that 5th row. I can't even beat the "5th grader". How I'm going to beat a grown-up who is comfortably sitting down, really confuses me. And really, if just the thought of adult competition confuses me, can I really win big money and prizes. *sigh* Regardless, I sent the application. I'm not really sure why they need a photograph though. I suppose the producers are filing application and photos by "looks"? By 3 cans in fact... (1) Genius! (2) Sort of Smart (3) Nope. Dumb as a Stump.

I wonder what can I'll be tossed into?

With this picture, maybe I'll get in the competition and win big prizes. Ooooo *jumping up and down* And then again, maybe I'll just end up tagged as "Smart Ass" under Google images.

I'm not sure what possessed me to send in an application to the Ellen Show. After all, if they called me and offered me 4 round-trip tickets to sunny California I'd freak (and soon after go on a liquid diet). Perhaps it was the excitement that the prior winner won $10,000 in kitchen appliances. Of course, this statement perplexes me moreso. *staring at our rented townhouse's 6'x10' kitchen*

Whatever the case my name is in, and right now an acne-prone intern is reading my "about myself" submission:

I'm a SAHM that bribes my 3-year-old daughter into letting me watch "Ellen" (versus that girl with the purple monkey and the backpack) every morning. I enjoy writing, photography... Wait! Now I'm curious why I've been asked to tell you about myself. Ellen, I'm not sure my husband would approve of you placing an ad in the personals for me you know. Hope you select me regardless. As you can tell from my above-listed bribery skills, I'm quite competitive!

Wish me luck!
