SuperPizzaBoy’s school had a fund raiser last Satuday night. It was a party. Each of the classes had put together a basket and you bid on each basket in a silent auction format. Everybody spends a lot of time and attention putting their basket together and decorating the table that it sits on. Below is the table that Sweetie decorated. It and the basket she put together is based on the television series “The Office. The typewriter is courtesy of Nana, SPB’s grandmother.
Oh, the food. Each table has food. Lots of food. Almost all of it is good, but bad for you. I never have figured out how things can be good but bad at the same time.
SPB goes to a private school and things are a little different. They have a Halloween party for example. A few parents don’t like it but most don’t seem to think that we are raising legions of devil worshippers. Christmas is allowed! Wow. I’m digressing again, I’m sorry, I’ll get to the point: We could get a glass of wine! I only had one, after all I was driving, but it was great.
I’m really off track. See all the stuff on the table? It now belongs to the guy on the left. Me. Sweetie says no more silent auctions for me. She is so mean sometimes.
Lets see, I won 6 baskets: The fishing basket, complete with with three fishing rods, including a pink one for Sweetie. The spaghetti basket, the photo basket which includes a new digital camera, and a micro camera (oh!), the weaved basket (done by SPB’s class, I had to get it, right?), the Bookworm basket (of course), and the Patio basket!
The good news, I got a lot of great stuff. The bad news, we have to pull SPB out of school, we can’t afford to pay tuition any more. He’s a smart kid. He’ll be ok.
I knew that it was going to be that kind of night for me. How did I know? Because my assigned auction id number was 23, a prime number. I love prime numbers. They are so mysterious and very auspicious for me. I could bore you to tears with the beauty of prime numbers.
Did you know that you were afflicted with being a “basketaholic”?
I’m a bit jealous… I love gift baskets.
Good Wednesday Morning! I came over from Georgie’s, nice to meet you.

Great pixs lilest beans school does something just like this
You are SOOOO funny!! Where ever are you going to put all that stuff?!?! LOL!!
I didn’t realize that SPB went to a private school. When Courtney was at the private school they did a live auction. I got a bit carried away a few times holding up my number! LOL!
They are doing an auction next Friday night at Courtney’s school. It’s also their Bingo night. I was looking at the baskets and there are some great things in them. I’m wanting to win the photography basket. Courtney wants to win the game store basket (of course!).
Oh, and tell Sweetie she did an awesome job on her display!
Oh my gosh! I don’t mean to laugh but that is hysterical!! I can’t believe you won all those baskets! You have enough for every room now!!
Oh wow sounds like you won some really nice baskets. What kinda stuff was in the bookworm basket??
Oh my gosh that is one heck of a lot of baskets,and they all look so good. YUM YUM
Feel free to send me the contents of the fishing basket, the photo basket, and the bookworm basket… I don’t mind taking that stuff off your hands. 😉
P.S. You just gave me ‘fishing fever’ really bad. OK, I already had the fever, but you just made it worse. hehe
