Hey friends ...
THANKS so much for your well-wishes
with my Oprah network audition
It went well.
No call back yet ... but I'll keep you posted.
So anyway, there I was, 5:30 am standing in a very looooooong line
on a sidewalk on a beautiful hill in Laguna Niguel
to get a wristband with a # so I would get an audition.
My daughter Brooke was with me and we were chatting when all of a sudden I thought I heard someone say "Denalee".
What?!?!! In a line of a couple of thousand people in a place I've never been?!
Donny & Marie Show days!
Holy SCHMOLY! That was 30 years ago!!!
Loa is the all-time-best make-up artist.
And she's my friend.
So the hours in the sun waiting for our turns ended up being very sweet time remembering some of the crazies we worked for, catching up on husbands, children & grandchildren, and laughing a lot. Before we even got our auditions the day was a success!
The combination of Loa, Brooke and Loa's husband David ... well, I couldn't have asked for a better morning!
It's a small world, huh? Glad you got to reconnect with an old friend. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise for you!!! All the best with the audition... and there was a reason that you had to be there!!! He certainly works in mysterious ways - doesn't he? :) cheers, HHL ... P.S. I supporting a blog friend who is launching a new business - that a look - she is offering a great give-away!!
ReplyDeleteWOWee.. first and foremost, thank you for stepping by my blog, and saying hi! I have a giveaway going on there right now (a few posts down from where you commented about the berries!) and secondly... I've just about spent a half hour reading your most recent posts, and your story of donating your beautiful silver strands to your mother's wig... and the tears have just been flowing! You're one inspirational woman! I'd love to do a feature on you in the near future ( e-mail me at kdaviscreates@yahoo.com if you're interested!)

ReplyDeleteThis new Oprah thing is everywhere I look. I'm so out of the loop I didn't even know she is creating a network.
ReplyDeleteI think just auditioning takes guts! How exciting! Happy waiting, and I'm hoping you hear back.

I love when things like that happen, what a small world!
ReplyDeleteI know I haven't been following for long, but was so excited for you on the Oprah thing. I spent the day in Laguna the other day and was totally wondering how everything went! Awesome that you saw an old friend in line too...it's the best when things like this happen. yay!
ReplyDeleteThat is so serendipitous! What a great way to spend what was no doubt a looong day! Best of luck to you, Denalee, I really hope you win!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you saw your old friend. It really is a small world. :3
ReplyDeleteI love those moments! I wish you best of luck! I checked out your audition! You are a pro! I voted for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to happen besides making the day go faster, it is always great to catch up with old friends! : ) (hope you hear something soon!!!)
ReplyDeleteCHEERS! HAPPY MONDAY!
I hope it's a sign! You were right where you were supposed to be. I'm seriously giddy with excitment. I thought you were going to say someone who reads your blog recognized you, which would be exciting, but finding an old friend is much better. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! I hope you get picked!!
ReplyDeleteYou know what's weird...I posted a nice long comment yesterday but I must have forgotten to click send (or whatever). Anyway, I wanted to say that I think you're amazing regardless of how the audition turns out! And I want hear about your Donny and Marie days. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautiful woman and your act of kindness makes you even more beautiful. God bless you and your family.
