I Won

I've had many accomplishments in my lifetime. I've been employee of the month from two of my jobs. I've graduated high school barely. I marched with my high school band in the Rose Bowl Parade and through Disneyland. I was graduation speaker when I  graduated from Job Corps (which may not be college it's the closest thing I got). I've received several promotions over the years. I'm partnered to the most wonderful bear. The list goes on and on and I can continue talking about me, because this is my blog after all. The most recent is from out company's function last night. They had an auction and the company spent over $8000.00 on prizes to win. Going into this I had my heart and mind set on one thing and one thing only and that was a game system (just for the motion control). I found out that it was the last item up for bids. I was excited to see that I was Top 5 in points so the chances were good. As the night progressed I watched as the participants who had more points than me were bidding like crazy and winning, until I was left "Top Dog" as I liked to call it. Finally, the item I most wanted came up and I was so shaky from excitement that when a co worker stole my paddle for a split second I wanted to knock him out for messing with me. The bidding started and a few aquatic kids foolishly decided to bid against me, and I thought to myself "how fun." They got to my breaking point as they bid 700 and turned to them and back to the auctioneer and proclaimed "1000". Turning back to the kids, I watched as they put their paddles down in disappointment and defeat. I WON, I couldn't believe that I won my xbox 360 w/ Kinect. I took a picture with my phone and sent it to the bear who responded with a YAY! I was a happy cubby last night with more "I won" moments to come.
