Attempting the Impossible


This is about me trying to do something entirely different with my life. I wanted to do this when I was a kid and even when I was a teen. I made choices that detoured me from this path. However, I think it is never too late to try.

I am a mom and a wife. Now my kids are adults and I no longer am responsible to their day to day needs. I am still a wife but my old man is self-sufficient and he can handle most of his needs. He is not like some husbands that thinks his wife should be there every minute at his beck and call. Of course, if he was we would not still be married. Poor thing would have ditched me years ago because I would never be able to comply well enough.
What might you ask is the impossible thing I am attempting? Don’t laugh. I would like to act in a movie or on TV. Now that I am in a new place that is completely unfamiliar and with way too much time on my hands I found myself working as an extra on a movie set last week and the bug just took hold again. How will I do this in the middle of New Mexico? I really don’t know. But the potential to work is here and as time goes on I will blog what I do to get to where? Hollywood? New York? Maybe even just stay here. Is there more work for me? I believe there might be. After all I am not ugly. I know I can pull of the look of a Mom or a Grand mom. I can be the neighbor that sticks her nose into everything. Anyone can play a dead body. At any rate I am so very new at this and my failures which will be plentiful will be documented here. Who knows there may be a success or too as well.
