So last night we went to the Annual Charity Eyeball- (yes it's really called the Eyeball- feel free to chuckle to yourself.) It was something I have been looking forward to for a while as an excuse to get out and also to dress up- fun! The Eyeball benifits a group called the Amigos who offer eyecare around the world to those in need. Last spring break Derek was lucky enough to travel to Belize for 10 days and help out giving out glasses and etc... it is a pretty awesome organization.
It was a fun night and we really had a great time. We got to get all dressed up and we acctually PAID for a babysitter. We went with Megan and Adam Lofgran and the night included dinner, a silent auction for fundraising, and (of course) dancing. There was one part of the night when they auctioned off people (for a date), that was awkward. I really was uncomfortable for these poor people stading up there while the guy said "Do I hear 10 dollars? Ten? Eleven? Eleven dollars- etc...." It was painful to watch. The DJ was totally not our style of music- it was funny he was playing all this R&B & pop stuff- we made total fools of ourselves dancing though and have a great time. It is times like that I am so happy that I married Derek. He is so fun and isn't embarrassed to dance and have a good time- even when we look totally dorky. We really had a great night.
...This morning I woke up and realized that even though I went to the ball and it had nothing to do with me fairy-gomother... I still felt a little like Cinderella.
And by that I mean that I had to clean the house.
