Friday night was a big win night for me! B.O.B. Bob gave me a once in a lifetime gift, that I will never forget, and that he won’t ever be able to top. He bid on a basket at the 2014 Caps’ Better Halves Gift Basket Silent Auction, and actually won, although I’m not sure if you can call it winning if you have to shell out a huge amount of cash. It’s kind of like how B.O.B. Bob is always saying that he wins cigars on cigarbid.com; winning usually involves a lot of money being spent. In this case at least the money is going to a great charity, and I benefit from the amazing goodies that were overflowing from the huge “Cooking Basket.” I already have my favorites, and am happy I didn’t have to wait till Easter to start digging into my basket; I’m not sure I would have had enough patience to wait that long, I am not a patient girl.
