Last night Lori and I made it to the Sheraton for the big event a little after 6:30. Turns out even though it started at 5:30, our timing was perfect. Lots of people were wearing tuxedos and long ball gowns ( some were not) but we opted for a nice classy short dress for Lori and black slacks, a black shirt and nice Italian sport coat for me. We walked around looking at the silent auction items for 45 minutes or so until we were all ushered in for dinner. The food was actually pretty good as it’s usually hard to feed 500 people at once. After the live auction (we would have organized things much better) Roseanne Barr came out to speak as she was the person who was selected for the award this year. After that a great rockabilly band, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy played. We hung out and danced a few songs before heading out for home. We jumped in our car and off we went in the snow heading home.
Before I forget, here’s a couple of funny things. Yesterday I made Ty some warm milk in the microwave in a small glass. He noticed and said, “wait, you can put glass in the microwave” to which I answered yes. He then said, “well this is going to change everything”! Next up I called the school to get some of Ty’s homework and asked if his teacher was there and the school secretary said, “you mean the good looking, cuddly funny one” and I said, “ah yes, I guess so”. So then Dawn (Ty’s teacher) gets on the phone and I said “Dawn” and she reluctantly said “yes” to which I replied “this is Doug” and she said, “oh my God, the secretary thought it was my husband”! So we had a good laugh and then handled the homework issue. You have to know her but she was so embarrassed and thought it was so funny which it was.
Before all this happened I had a few conference calls and other computer work. Today it’s going to snow more, a lot they say tonight, so I’ll run to the grocery store early in the day along with the rest of Colorado. Then we’ll try to clean the house some more or as Lori says, maybe just lay around and watch movies all day. Either way we’ll be hanging at home. Hope all’s well, take care and God Bless.
