Last night was the fundraiser for my friends son who needs financial help to keep getting to cancer treatments. We had a spaghetti dinner, dance and silent auction- all thrown together in about3 weeks. We raised just under $900. I consider that a huge success expecially considering how busy my co-hort and I have been the past few weeks with our jobs. We had about 80 people show up..every silent auction item sold and te winner of the 50/50 raffle donated their half of the pool back to the cause. And everyone had a great time.
There were several ladies there in their 30s-40s...we are all friends, but we rarely talk...life is just...busy. Which is sad when you think about it. I think I will host a dinner for just sitting and visiting when the weather gets a little nicer. Just to relax and catch up. Why dont we take time to do this once in a while...I guess some ladies do...they call it bunco...hmmmm.
I am pooped.
Today is my oldest GSs birthday. Can you believe he is SEVEN??? DD2 asked to have the party here at my house...oh boy. Luckily and thankfully, my houseguest graciously offered to get the house readyand she has done a fabulous job. I hate to say it, but I am eager for the after party rnr to happen. Work has been insanely busy the past two weeks with department moves, evening functions, and a busy workload.
Again, I am pooped.
My next big event is the 50th party at the beginning of June. Oh...and a mid-term and final for psychology...
In the meantime, I have 220 eggs to stuff before the party...so I need to get busy.
Happy Saturday. Life is good!
