Thanks to Jill I went to the Alzheimer’s Assosication 2009 Spring Gala.    Mostly it was a benefit dinner.  There were some raffles and a silent auction.  There was alot of tasty gourmet type foods.  You konw the small foods that are served on small plates, but probably cost a ton at a resturatunt.  There was some London Broil, mini bugers,  mini lobster type things, some soups, meat people with prime rib, ham, chicken.  There was a crazy fish station, some pies, pulled pork.  It was all really tasty.  There were some fun items in the silent auction.  We could have gotten them at a good price but I was being good about spending money.  Some of the item included some Toronto hotel stays, some nice jewlery, and other craziness.   Oh well, maybe next year if we go again I’ll bring some extra cash for the auction.  Then there was a raffle.  The third prize was a Wegman food basket.  I’m not sure what exactly was in it. First prize was a $1000 worth of plane tickets for some airline.  Anyway, one of the people at my table had the winning 3rd place ticket.  We all cheered then some other lady got up and took the prize.  She didn’t have the winning ticket.  The one at our table told the people running the raffle but let the confused crazy lady keep the basket so she wouldn’t be embarresed.  I would have probably let her keep the basket, but I would have wanted her to know she was wrong.  That would have annoyed me so much.  I don’t care about the prize as much, but she didn’t really win.  AHHHHH!.  Overall it wasn’t a bad time with alot of good food and I like food.

Only other thing to say is that I”m happy its Friday.  Two more days to Voltaire, whooo!!.  I can’t wait to see him with his whole band.  Gonna try to go into work tomorrow and get some more stuff done.  To much to do.  I still need to buy a lawnmower at some point….

Until next time,
