Seriously?

I am crazy, most of you know it. Tonight as I sat down to load some football pictures to facebook I had a message....

HI!

I'm a Casting Director looking for people to do an exciting new casting call. I saw your familiy's blog and I think you guys would be PERFECT for this opportunity. Feel free to contact me at lande@lifefilmentertainment.com if you and friends or family are interested. Thanks so much, I hope to talk to you soon!

Do you come from a HUGE, INTERESTING, DIVERSE family????

Are there major issues and changes affecting how your family relates to each other? A production company with established relationships with major networks is shooting a pilot. Here is an opportunity to share your family's story!

If you're interested, Please send your name, age, role in your family, phone number and e-mail to lande@lifefilmentertainment.com. Include photos of the family members you live with and your extended family members that live nearby. If your family is chosen for the pilot, you will be compensated for your time. If the show is picked up for series, there will be additional on-going compensation.

Of all the things on the face of this earth that sounds "fun, nice or exciting" to me this would like fall into the category right next to "hell". I do mean that most seriously. I don't watch lots of TV, but I do watch my family and sometimes reality should NEVER go global! Money, compensation, could never ever be enough to make it seem like a good idea!

Now, there are things in life that are worthwhile, and happy and wonderful. .... As I finished that silly message I looked at Caleb's page to find this profile picture greeting me:


I spent my life investing in something that is the center of my world...it's my "people", those whom I love and those whe mean so much to me. Those who make me smile, and in the description for the next picture Caleb made me just laugh out loud!!

take 2.... I miss spelled some of the letters only because I had to write it all backwards.. so stop hating. I think it adds some personality to the message.

In a very "seriously?!" moment Scott and I enjoyed lunch together today and were talking about the things in life we can totally control. NO ONE can ever take from you your thoughts, feelings or behaviors...they are MINE. Each of us have the ability to control the most important part of our lives...our happiness, our joy, our success...they are all choices. My choice will always include, first and foremost, the most important things to me....not money or fame....my people!!! They are seriously the most important things in the whole world.


**** Scott read this and I had to add a correction, or explanation. I do not beleive all people on TV are going to hell....I don't! I simply meant that to me personally, the idea of people filming in my home, wanting us to talk issues/trash/argue with one another would be much like "hell" to me. I have done that briefly (for a whole week) and I never ever ever ever ever ever wish to go there again. Although to quote Scott "That would be really bad"...I might have used slightly stronger words....but I did mean it. Seriously.
