Jamaica

This past Friday, we attended the student auction at my work. This was the weekend we were supposed to go to California for Blum's wedding, but that didn't work out. The auction is held for the graduate students for travel and internship funding. We went last year and I won a peti, mani, and facial for $40 and we had a really good time, they have volunteer auctioneers that are usually faculty members or staff members, and they are really funny, so this year Matt and I were looking forward to attending. I can't forget to mention that there are free drinks and shots too, we spent the evening chatting with friends and listening to the many hilarious comments on the auctioneer stand all the while enjoying the free libations. The last block of items to auction off are usually the items that most people stick around for. After an evening of drinks, I was feeling pretty good, and thought I would bid on a trip to Jamaica, unbeknowst to Matt. Needless to say, I won a 5 night, 4 day stay for two in Negril, Jamaica with breakfast included. When Matt returned to the bidding area and realized that we won, he was not entirely happy. After much persuasion that it was a good deal, and the trip is like a honeymoon we never took, I think he is okay about it. Bottom-line, don't take Kate to an auction with free drinks.
