You know you're getting old when....You spend your Sunday afternoon at auditions for "Wheel of Fortune!"
The "Wheel-Mobile" was in St. Louis this weekend and I (along with thousands of other people) waited for about 3 hours yesterday afternoon to hear my name be randomly drawn to get a chance to try out for the show. I watched the show all week to brush up on my puzzle-solving skills and was ready to go if they called my name.
Well, they didn't. They only called 25 names out of over 1,000 during my time slot. I could've gotten back in line to try again but Will was at home painting the house all by himself. He was originally supposed to go with me but he couldn't pass up the chance to paint outside while we had such great weather. So, I actually went by myself.
It was definitely an interesting experience. The people called up on stage were encouraged to show their enthusiasm and personality. So, there was a lot of singing and dancing...??? Really? I thought this show was about solving word puzzles.
Well, there goes my hopes of winning money to pay someone to rehab. our kitchen. Guess that means more work for Will. (Sorry, Will! I tried.)
I spend enough time around characters (dog owners can be weird; face it, people). I was happy to provide a primed exterior for you to come home triumphantly to.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably good that you didn't get called. I mean, how awful would it have been to win all that money. Just awful.
oh my gosh. I love ya'll. just love ya'll. :)
