Fun Monday - I Ought'a Be a Picture!

Janet (from the Planet of Janet) gave us all a huge challenge this week! It was a lot harder than I thought it would be - from casting to just doing a quick recap of my life. My past life has reappeared in my present life and as such, I've been spending a lot of my mental time looking back in the last month - partially to see who I was then, and how I became who I am now. So in a way, I've been working on this for a month - but hadn't cast any parts yet. Janet says:

Hollywood has come calling. They want to make a movie of your life story!

So here's what I want to read about: Write the brief synopsis of this film that you might use to pitch this project and cast the principal players. Who would play you? You can either cast or ignore significant others, children and/or pets. This is, after all, YOUR movie about you you YOU! Illustrate as needed with casting photos or filming locations. Your life not interesting enough? Hey, this is Hollywood. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

THE TRULY AMAZING AND UTTERLY FASCINATING LIFE OF SAYRE

She was born nearly 46 years ago in the very same town she lives in now. It may not seem like she got very far, but now she lives in a totally different place.

Her parents were simple folk.

Her father was a foreigner.

Topol (Fiddler on the Roof)

who became more American than the Americans...

Peter Griffin (Family Guy)

Her mother was a genteel Southern belle with a spine of steel.

Gena Rowlands (think of Mom from "Hope Floats")

And of course, there were men in her life. Three of them. There was one more, but he didn't mean anything...

Her first husband, That Man

Greenquist (Victor Pascow in "Pet Sematary - the guy that got run over)

The guy who helped her get over the disaster that was her first marriage, JL

Ricky Scaggs, seated (before he became a gospel guy)

Her second husband, the Darling Man

Dylan McDermott - not quite as studly as the real thing

Together, Darling Man and she came up with:

ZBoy, the most amazing child ever, and savior of her life.

Aang - the Last Avatar

Before, Sayre was just your average, everyday, somewhat-overweight single girl...

totally intimidated by women she thought were more attractive than herself. With all of those women around, how could she possibly stand a chance of finding Mr. Right?

She tried hard, but somehow always found herself in impossible situations wearing entirely inappropriate clothing...

She lacked seriously in the grace department,

but was sincere in her search for beauty, truth and love.

Thankfully, sincerity and a good heart pay off in the end.

Unfortunately, Darling Man gets up WAY before Sayre and so she rarely gets the opportunity to watch him sleep...
