This past Saturday I went with a bunch of friends to a charity event. The Little Black Dress event was held at the County Club and the proceeds benefitted the Red Cross to help the victims of the flood.

This was the first time this event had been held, and they already have plans in the works for next year. This year, with the event benefitting of the Red Cross, you had to accessorize with red. Next year it’s going to benefit breast cancer research so the accessories will all have to be pink.
The country club did an excellent job of making the event special from the martini bar to the beautifully decorated banquet room. The planners set up a “red carpet” entrance complete with paparazzi and a backdrop for more formal pictures. Its was actually quite hilarious! They handed out pictures all night and it was a cute touch.

We enjoyed dinner and signed up for some raffle prizes. You could buy as many tickets as you wanted and then stick them into whichever raffle you liked. There was everything from a day of pampering (nails, facials, house cleaning) to jewelry to wine. I put the most tickets in the 2 hour photo session for my family with a professional photographer from town. Then I also put one ticket in another box.
I won off that one ticket. What did I win, you ask?
24 margaritas from a local restaurant!
Ha! I don’t even really like margaritas. Once I found out how many calories were in one margarita……they have not been my drink of choice. Oh well, at least I won something. Plus, I might just be the most popular girl in the joint that night.
We danced to the DJ (he donated his time to the event. How cool is that?) and got all sweaty! Those 80s tunes just kept luring us onto that dance floor.

We took a taxi home (free because they also donated their time for the night) and slept in late this morning. We even missed church. Been working on lesson plans and laundry all day. Also bringing dinner to a friend tomorrow so I whipped up some yummy things for them as well. Nice boring Sunday!
Looking forward to a short week this week. I told Mike it will be last Sunday he will be able to see the TV from his favorite chair. Next weekend we cut down our tree! Woo Hoo! No matter how small of one we say we are going to get, it seems to grow in the truck on the way home and it block any view of the TV from our chair and ottoman.
Hope you had a great Sunday!
