Blogging Notes

When I have an abundance of thoughts in my head, I tend to blurt them out in the form of Blogging Notes.
 

 
Hubby: I’ve been having some strange dreams lately.
 
Me: Same here!
 
Hubby: Really? What did you dream?
 
Me: I dreamt there were two men on the ground. This lady was squishing one of them with her stilettoed foot, and she threw a couple of towels to the other guy who was about to earn his red wings. Disgusting! So I went into the kitchen and saw two gray bats swimming around a dead kitty in a fish tank. Then I woke up. What was your dream?
 
Hubby: Never mind.
 

 
I found a cool website! PropertyRoom.com, the police auction site. I lost an hour’s worth of time, easily, browsing the merchandise this morning. I even have a bid in on an item, so I’ll let you know how that goes. Check it out for unbelievably low prices on cameras, jewelry, video games, sports memorabilia, ipods, etc. Its a steal!

Blogging Notes 9

Posted on August 10th, 2008 by Jean

Last night, Tom and I attended a fundraiser dinner/auction. Part of the auction was live, and the other was silent. With a silent auction, you put your name and the amount you’re willing to pay on a sheet that is in front of the item. I had bid on a wine rack complete with 1 bottle of white wine plus a prime rib dinner for two at a nearby restaurant. Tom bid on a red-headed duck.
 
We got a couple of beers, then sat down at our table. A sweet little old lady came up to us and asked how we were doing. I had seen her picture before, but had never met her. (She has advertised in our magazine.) She said she likes to outbid friends for fun. We got a good laugh over that, and then she went on her way. Well, do you know that she outbid not only Tom on the duck, but me on the wine rack combo? So I upped our silent anty, and outbid HER on a couple of items she wanted. ::: snicker, snicker, snicker :::
 
That little trick taught me a lesson! I almost got stuck with a pot that I didn’t want! Thankfully, at the last minute, 3 ladies walked up and outbid a lot of people. They saved my hiney!
 

 
Look what finally arrived! The pantry door!
 

 
Yeah! Yippee! Yeah! Yippee!
 
Bedroom Progress: The new curtain panels haven’t arrived, but we took down the old curtains. Cracks in the wall have been patched, and a fresh coat of cream paint applied to 2 of the walls.
 

 
I ordered the bedspread! Thank you to all those who suggested red, to Taina for recommending Bed Bath & Beyond!, and to Sandi for suggesting a duvet!
 

 
Now I’m off to watch the Olympics.
