$4,130!!!!!!!
For ONE night, of spaghetti, garlic bread, salad, and water. Seriously. We had about 50 desserts donated, CRAZY. I was thinking we'd average about 10-20 dollars per dessert ummmm that was blown out of the water on just the few few. We had one chocolate cake sell for $110. We had a basket of yummy ice cream toppings go for $105. My silly dollar store Movie Night basket went for like 40 bucks and the cheesecake stuffed strawberries brought in $150 for the 3 plates I brought. It was incredible.
I was up on stage telling the auctioneers details so they could give item descriptions and I had to step behind the curtain because I started laughing at the amount of people were paying for these desserts. It was wonderful. We FAR exceeded our goal and now we'll be able to make some very necessary camp purchases and have a little left over for some fun Mutual activities. (No pics for me unfortunately, except I think Nicole got some? Nicole, are you there? You should post them :))
People are so generous!!
The other success of the week was this morning, I decided not to wait to weigh myself after a week and a half of dieting, I'm not patient when it comes to that. I was SO so surprised to see that I had lost just about 8 pounds. Not too shabby. Of course I'm not able to tell whatsoever but to know that I'm at least making progress is great. I'm celebrating with some delicious jiccima sticks with lemon juice and lemon water. YUM. Hurray for yummy stuff that's still acceptable on my diet!! Hip hip horrrrray. If I start to feel really adventurous I might just go walk around the cemetery for a bit and start getting back in that habit. I was walking several miles a day around the cemetery before and I loved it. (We have a reallllly nice cemetery).
Anyways, this weekend was good, work today was good, today is a good day to have a good day.

That is amazing!! Can't believe the total. So, I cracked up when you said you laughed and had to hide behind the curtain when you heard how much people were bidding for the desserts. Was it a maniacal laugh? You know, like muahahahahaha? Ha ha. So funny. I am so happy for you guys! I can't think of a more deserving bunch of young women...and yw leaders. Go you!
P.S. I would have paid a pretty penny for those cheesecake stuffed strawberries too...those looked incredible.
I posted pictures on my blog. I realized after the fact that a lot of them were blurry due to my silly non photography skills, I didn't have the right setting on. Apparently, I thought we were at the beach and it was on beach setting. oh well, we got a few. I still can't believe that number. =)
