sweetfest

just got home from sweetfest - the annual fundraiser for the comal county child welfare board. this was my first time to attend, and let me just say that it totally earns its name. there were tables upon tables of nothing but cupcakes, cookies, pies, cakes, and candies - all donated by some very talented local baking queens and all for the taking. john and i gorged on yummy sweets and we had a good time watching the entertainment (cute kiddies dancing traditional german dances, more cute kiddies showing off their karate skills, and a young man who spent 10 years in CPS care and is now a musician). i actually won a couple of fun things at the silent auction, including a pink koozie from one of my fav new braunfels shops, princess be, and a beautiful blue stone necklace from a shop in gruene. all in all, a great way to spend a sunday afternoon. i just love supporting local non-profits that focus on such important social issues. unfortunately, there just seem to be so many and not enough people or money to always go around. as a board member of such a non-profit, i know how that goes. sigh...

anyway, i am determined to go to bed at a decent time tonight so i can start the week off right. lots of big things that i have to deal with this coming week, so gotta get my crazy sleep schedule back on track.
