Remember: It's for the animals.

 

We went to this "Fur Ball and Auction" thingy last night for an animal shelter and it was interesting.  Here, I'll tell you why...

1. I was starving when we got there. I hadn't eaten anything since the 3 year old's party we attended earlier in the day.  So when we got to the fancy ballroom and the waiters were bringing out bread (see picture above) and sitting it on our table I exclaimed, "Wow, that looks yummy!" To which the waiter replied, "Me or the bread?"  Classic.  Scooter just gave him the stink eye.
2. There was a $3,000 bottle of wine up for auction with my maiden name on the label.  Scooter would not let me raise my sign to bid on it. "It's for the animals," I said.  "Ok, only up to $200 though," he said.  The bidding started at $1,000.
3. There was, what I believed to be an amazing, cheese-making class up for auction.  I believe cheese-making is a life's skill that will pay it self off years from now unlike, say, a beading class or guitar class.  Again, I was not allowed to bid on it.  It sold for $750.  A total steal if you ask me.

It ended up being a fun night with only a slight panic attack in the beginning (I don't like being in rooms with no windows.  Locked in with a few hundred people).  Next time I am totally bidding on the cheese making class.
