The Maturity Switch

The weekend of my board meetings always turns into at least a half week of being busy. Okay, so I make it busy all by myself trying to see friends and fit in fun things to do. That is the best part though, being with my friends, old and new, that are in the Pacific NW.

After two full days of board meetings, it was so fun to end it with a fun event at the Holt Gala and Auction on Saturday night. I have some wonderful friends that I click with and that is where the maturity switch comes into play. We have so much fun together and we laugh a lot!!

I hosted a table at the gala, what a great group I had too! We did a lot of laughing so there lies the maturity switch. We were doing fine until someone broke HIS fork right in the middle of someone's speech! Our entire table was doing the 'church laugh'. I could barely keep it together and of course, I have to be the board member at the same time. I don't think I did a good job of keeping it together.

Then came dinner and as we are eating, another fork gets broken!! OMG!! This was the spouse of the first person that broke the fork. Let's just say our table was out of control with laughter!

So I should explain the silverware. The handles were bamboo and the eating portion was the regular silverware. So the handles broke off very easily, as my two table guests found out.

My table continued to have a blast, as I was determined to win a dessert for my table at any costs, seriously!! Our table burst into a loud cheer when I won the bid. Was the cake worth what I paid for it? NO, but it was fun nonetheless bidding and winning and the money is all for the children!

I am blessed to have such great friends to share in such fun events and I thank them for making it even MORE fun with all the laughing we did! Now where was that maturity switch?
