My sister and I briefly considered auditioning when there was a casting call for the play at our local theater about 15 years back. I could've done M'Lynn blindfolded then, and she would have had a blast with the part of Ouiser "I'm not as sweet as I used to be" Boudreaux. Oddly enough, that's one of the few regrets of my life---missing the opportunity to go for that part and play the hell out of it, simply because I was too afraid to put myself out there and risk falling on my face. Nursing was what cured me of that nonsense......and today, I wouldn't hesitate to try out for the play for so much as a second. And I'm thinking.......I just might do pretty well with that Ouiser role myself.

I always love your posts VivaLasViejas! You are so wise!As for me, "Pink is my signature color"!

Nice! I want a job like that!

Thank you for posting this. It brought me to tears. It is amazing what people will share when they feel secure and un-rushed. So often interactions with clients are on a time schedule and they feel oblilgated to only discuss the reason they are there and not share other valuable information. This is a lesson that I wish more jobs were able to incorporate into the structure. You are fortunate and wise!
