And although I wasn't passing for Taylor Swift's twin (my brown hair and 8 inches I need to grow come to mind just for starters), the night really began to pick up as I "won" many of the silent auction items. (Jason says I shouldn't use the word "won" since we actually have to buy the items, but the way I see it, I outbid somebody else, so yes, I am the winner. ) Then things got really exciting when Jason "won" a live auction item. I, of course, had to jump up, do a little dance, and woo-hoo (or maybe it was a yee-haw since it was a western night). And as exciting as that was, that still wasn't the best part of the night. A little later I was in the bathroom and heard two girls (sounded high school age) have the following conversation:
Girl A: Ugh. These auctions are so boring.
Girl B: Oh, I know.
Girl A: But did you see that girl that jumped up and cheered when she won. That was funny.
Girl B: Oh I know, that was so cute.
Yes, my friends, these girls called me a "girl"!
Not "lady", not "woman", but girl.
I wanted to burst out of the stall and hug them! But not wanting them to think I had completely lost my mind, I just waited til they left before I came out.
Yep, this girl had the best. night. ever.

I still love auctions too!! We have a live auction to raise money for our high school mission trip every year of baked goods that the men in the church make and donate.....oh my goodness, is it crazy....it is so fun!!! I do think it is woven into our brains now!!
