{i turned wimp}
today was a fundraiser event over at our school. people sold yummy food and more yummy food for us to pick from and eat . then afterward people brought nice/cool/fun things to auction off to make more money on and for us to spend money on.
all i know is that i suck at auctions. i tried to bid on this cool thing and the bid started at $15 and i was happily waving my little number around when KKA-BOOOM the dude said 'who'llgiveme75,75,75'
and i went 'duuude. it was just $20.' and then i set my number down and cried. except i didn't cry because my friends were beside me and they said nice things to me and i said dumb things like 'why do i have to try and bid on this kind of stuff because i suck at it. '
it only works for me if i'm the only bidder. i learned that lesson today.
o and so the weather? +10C or about 50 Fahrenheit and i FROZE people. i froze. i am from CANADA and i froze in PLUS TEN. i turned wimp.
actually if the truth shall be told. I turned Californian. i didn't wear the proper clothes for the weather.

Eeeek I don't like auction sales like that either. Ebay is more my style!! Just get out your woolie underwear & stay warm!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI loooove eBay.
DeleteO i'm with you on the bidding thing...it's way too scary! Awesome news about you maybe, hopefully, trying to move to alberta!! Hopefully it's the linden area!!
ReplyDeleteAnne! That's the place :) :)
DeleteShall we send you boots & a hoody?!
ReplyDeleteThat would be much cozier :)
Deletea sweater and flip-flops perhaps? :)
ReplyDeleteNearly my friend! Although my toes were covered with a slip on shoe...
DeleteYou better buck up fast so you can freeze your butt off in -30 with the rest of us here.
ReplyDeleteHee Hee ;)
DeleteI detest auctions too! I ALWAYS end up wanting something that goes sky high... I figure I do my part of the fundraising by making the price skyrocket! :)
ReplyDeleteHmm! I really like your standpoint :) maybe that's my new calling;)to help people make lots of money at auctions by bidding every one up!!!
ReplyDeleteYa, I stuck my hand up at the latest auction & was the last bidder!! :/ Not sure I got a deal, but I got a little, wooden picnic table for the boys! Fun!
