I went to a service auction last night for a church activity. We all donated some kind of service and then we got to bid on things. I really wanted the free babysitting because Myke has been dying to go to the movies but I was outbid. I only had 155 points and some women had over 300. (You earned points for innocuous things like if you had eaten vegetables that day or folded laundry. I apparently do nothing but waste my time all day because my point tally was hideous.) Anyway, I didn’t want things like cookies or bread because I can make those myself. I didn’t need merit badges sewed on shirts or another baby blanket. I really just wanted the free babysitting. Life is full of disappointment.
Anyway, it was getting down to the end and I didn’t have anything. I was feeling like a loser. The next item up was personalized 5k training. I’ve been meaning to start running again so I figured I’d shout out a bid just because I had points. Deep in my heart I didn’t want it. Turns out I was the only person willing to go for it and I won. I guess this means I’m running now.
I should have gone for the gluten-free, non-dairy cookies.
