My Bucket list isn’t very long. At this stage, it’s not even on paper. But one thing that’s certainly on the top of my unwritten ‘list’ is to be on a game show. I’m determined to keep trying until my luck becomes lucky.
To follow this (ridiculous) dream, I fill out all sorts of applications. If it requires a partner, I convince the closest (as in proximity) friend into applying with me. I do random things like go to the Post Office at 3 in the morning to mail my (Survivor) application packets to ensure on-time delivery. I harass my sister and mother into editing my applications. Poor family…they have to endure my insanity. I drag my husband all over tarnation to help me accomplish this goal. Poor Michael…he gets the brunt of all my silly dreams.
Saturday was no exception. My family woke up in decent time and traveled two hours north to track down the WHEELMOBILE (Wheel of Fortune’s audition bus). Sadly, Saturday was not my lucky day. But one day, it will be!
The line was hundreds of people long. But once you get in the actual audition show, everyone has the same chances of winning because it’s a random drawing to pick the speed round contestants/applicants. Sadly, I did not get picked. Though I was definitely disappointed, people watching was definitely at its prime! Talking to strangers definitely proved to be a invaluable education. I now am more knowledgeable than ever about gambling, grumbling, photography, Sketcher’s Shape-Ups, dreadlocks, lottery winners, and the techniques of annoying others.
I went to take pictures with my camera, and had forgotten the camera card! So, my backup camera phone pictures will have to do!
A special thanks to my husband for allowing me to keep chasing after my goofy dreams! Hat’s off to my cheering section, seen here:
I’ll keep trying, and when my luck is lucky I’ll let you know!
