There was almost a panic or crisis...about simple things.

Well, the Colonel was kind of a dichotomy.

It really was two different people.

The Colonel is someone who is very poised,

very socially adept, that can work a room

and knows how to get things done,

but also can, at a moment's notice, be a decisive person

and really adamant about what they want done.

And so, I saw less of the poised Colonel

who knew how to work a room and relate in a situation,

and I saw more of the, "This is the way it's going to be,

and this is what's going to happen."

And it was almost a panic or crisis

if she didn't get it that way.

And we're talking about simple things like

candles on a birthday cake,

or whatever the small issue may have been.
