Well the Auction/fundraiser went ok...
except for the fact that I had a horrible cold. I mean really just to go I had to take massive amounts of cold medicine. And I wasn't really looking fabulous because I was too sick to care but I at least attempted to blow dry my hair, though it came out funky, and I slapped on some makeup.
I ended up wearing the second dress. Sorry to all of you who liked the first dress, but in person that dress made me look a bit...umm shall we say pregnant...and after the week before when someone asked if I was pregnant I just couldn't risk having it happen again! Craig's mom really liked it, she said it was really french? Which apparently was good since the theme of the fundraiser had something to do with france... Anyway before hand we went to friends of his parents then we went to the auction.
There was a silent auction, raffles, then this main auction. Little did I know I would have to help sell raffle tickets for this necklace. Craig's mom was signed up to do it and asked if I would help and how could I say no. So basically I wore this necklace they were raffling off and held a basket with the tickets and carried a bottle of champagne (you got a glass with each ticket you bought).
We only worked for an hour but went through 3 bottles of champagne so I think we did ok. And other then one or two people asking if I was for sale (ummm yeah its a charity auction at a catholic school, but yeah I am for sale asshole). Oh yeah and one creepy guy was talking to me and then asked if Sally (my mother in law) was my sister...lol...so I guess he was hitting on her then not really me, or maybe both of us, I dunno but he was creepy.
And the amount people were spending on the auction items was insane! We left before it was over (it was already quarter till 11 and we had 45 mins to drive home). And today I have done nothing which is good because I need rest, having to go out and be social when you are sick takes alot of effort.
Ugh this week I really need to start working out again, I am in awful shape, I am lethargic, I feel gross, my clothes don't fit. Hopefully I can get back on track. For awhile I was doing so well. I am just so tired after work that I don't feel like it but I guess I really just need to force myself to do it. And I am looking into buying an elliptical to have at home which will make things much easier.
