You persevered, Roni. That’s really great that you did, indeed, make it to the audition. And you know what? Even if you don’t get this gig, think of it as practice for the NEXT audition. But I hope they call you back!

That is insane. Those words don’t even begin to describe your day. All I can say is that you handled it with aplomb and I’m mucho impressed. :)

Oh hon, sorry to hear things were nuts for you! But take care of yourself and get better, you don’t wanna mess with colds…especially when you were driving around with the bags over the window!

Hugs for silver linings, and I bet you nailed your audition! Happy thoughts sent your way!

Hi Roni!
Sounds like a tough day, but you got through it laughing – that’s all that matters! I just got this email, and thought of your day in NY:
“A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:
When four of Santa’s elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, ‘Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn’t this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?’
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.”

At least you handled your day better than Santa!! ;)

Hi, Roni!

I loved this story!! This absolutely sounds like me!! Good for you to keep so cheerful about it. I always try to see the half full side of the cup, too. Besides, when there’s a choice between laughing and crying, laughing wins with me anytime!!

Wow…Sometimes it is nice to know that I am not the only one who gets $hit on. I am glad to hear you recovered so nicely. I used to be stationed at an Army base in NJ. The turnpike sucks…then I got to Germany and found that the autobahns are worse than the turn pike. It is further if you miss your exit :-(

I am glad that you were able to laugh about everything that went wrong!

Here’s my quick story about how everything went wrong and everything worked out GREAT!

As you know, I met my husband online and our first meeting was going to be after a weekend I spent at Charlie’s house. On the way to Charlie’s house, Hannah has to go to the bathroom, so we stop at a truck stop. 50 miles later, I look down. NO WALLET! I called, someone turned it in, the agreed to hold it for me on the return trip home.

Happily Charlie paid my way that weekend! So before I left I had my outfit all laid out. My mom is going to watch Hannah. All is well!

On our way back home, the wallet is locked up, only one person has the key, and they don’t know when that person is supposed to work next and they don’t have a cell phone. WHAT? Mind you I hadn’t been on a date for EIGHT YEARS!

So I ask a woman in the car next to me if she’ll loan me enough money to get gas so I can get home and she gladly hands me $20 no questions asked!

I get home, message from my mom, she can’t watch Hannah, she’s got a business dinner. Great! So I tell Hannah “start calling friends and find somewhere to sleep over!” I jump in the shower. I come out, go to my closet and no outfit. WHAT? That’s right, I live with my twin sister in a two flat and she wanted to borrow some clothes while I was gone and saw the outfit and just took it!

So I find something else, I drop off Hannah at a friends and I get to the restaurant with no money and the key to my house.

Okay, sorry that was long winded, but the moral of the story is that we moved in together basically three weeks after that first date, married six months after that first date, and have been HAPPILY married for 8 years this month!

Some people said “weren’t those warning signs that you shouldn’t meet him?” but I just knew I had to get over those obstacles to get to him!

I THINK YOU DID GREAT! FINGERS CROSSED

I read this post yesterday and out of the blue started thinking about you this morning when I was getting ready for work. Anyway, here is the summary:
I want the best for you. If this TV thing works out – great. If it doesn’t – great. Without the TV you reach many people on a dialy basis – people who look forward to what you are sharing. So, which ever way the chips fall – you have a fan base.
