wait just one more shot

I sit and watch as snow goes by..........

Yay it's Friday!
This was a tough week at work. The introduction of productivity reports has thrown me for a loop. Hence the blip on perfection.I feel better today.
Oh and these are seed pods from the weeds from hell...nightshade.
Ok so tomorrow, we are going to a pretty big audition. I don't want to jinx it but, we are excited. Tomorrow my blip will tell you what it is and how we did.
The last time we did a real audition process, ( 6 count em 6 in total) it was in Rhode Island for Xfactor. We kept getting moved up and all we wanted to do is eat. Food was scarce and we were in a place where we had to be monitored. We had to be accompanied by "handlers" even to the bathroom. We signed contracts so we were a bit afraid. Oh, And we had to wear the same clothes for two days. Oh yeah that was fun. My vanity prevailed and I wore spanx and control top pantyhose. For the male contingency trust me these are little slices of hell. Guess what I learned?
(It's been a while I was due for a list)
1) low blood sugar.........giggles
2) hard to stop once started.
3) we were the oldest people there by a long shot
4) I scared one of our handlers........He was about 19
5) He said the worst part of being a "handler" is that you can't ask anyone out. I said:"oh thank God I knew we had a connection. I love younger men and I have candy in my purse"
6) I think he peed his pants
7) if it's tight at 6am........it will be unbearable by 3pm
8) tight pants make me homicidal
9) those who bragged about their talent went home in the first round
10) don't take yourself too seriously
11) when the executive producers asked us what made us different than everyone else I said
Hello, we are 3 older white women from Portland Maine. Our pants are pulled up, we don't yell when we sing and you will want to sing with us.
12) after , he said you are right. (And totally not marketable.)
13) we were relieved when we weren't chosen
14) it was hysterical and we had a blast.
15) tomorrow will be easier if we remember that experience.

I know that was a lot. but I needed a humorous blip for a change.
Hmmmm now what to wear.........no spanx.
G'day down under and goodnight to the north!
