Out of Character

Me, and 10,000 other people from the Central Valley stood in line for about 6 hours to audition for the game show "Deal or No Deal"!

To some of you, that is no big "DEAL"!

However, for those of you who know my personality, you know it was a step out of my "comfort zone".

First, to stand in a very long line (6 hours...did I mention I stood for 6 hours?) with 10,000 people crammed in a "bingo room" of a casino is very unlike me. About 4 hours into it, I finally told Lex, "can you imagine the germs in this room?"

Then, when you finally reach the front of the line, you and 10 other people go to a table with one interviewer and have 30 seconds to "WOW" them with your over-the-top-bubbly personality.

O.k..that's a problem...I don't want to look stupid, however, they assured us that unless you bring your silliest goofiest bubbliest self to the table, they won't remember you. So, I will say I more bubbly than I'm comfortable with.

Then, after your time is up, they say, "o.k., thank you very much. We have your contact info." And you leave.

I probably won't get chosen. I know some people had "call backs" the next day, to which I would have had to say..."sorry, I'll be leading worship. Can you make it in the afternoon?"

They did tell us that they keep the papers and call people as long as a year later.

You never know.

The best part was getting 6 hours with my husband...just the two of us...oh, and 9,998 other people.

Blessings!
