The other night I attended a fundraiser hosted by my employer.  There was a ton of food, a silent auction, and lots of people there throwing money around for the cause that was being supported.  While I did not have a ton of money to donate, I did bid on a few silent auction items and was pleasantly surprised when I won one of them.  Because I do not really have any use for a weekend getaway at a bed and breakfast, I will be giving my prize to my sister who is going to be celebrating her wedding anniversary in a couple of months as I know that she will put it to good use.
