So why don't we go...

[Listening to: Keane - Hopes and Fears - 01 Somewhere Only We Know]

So anyways, i've only a few hours left and I will soon be able to eat. So let me recap the rest of this day.

Well after I left my last blog entry, I went to help out at the Jeans and Jewels Gala Auction at Woodland Hills. They were pretty much done when I got there ^^; but we decided to play Bigger or Better. For those that don't know, the games is where teams start off with small objects and go around to houses and find bigger or better objects that the family doesnt want anymore. The teams were Grant, Katie Holden, Brandall, and me against Houston, JT Dawson, and Jake. We decided to go into the same huge, rich neighborhood. Rocky Point? maybe.... i think that's it. We were given 2 hours and we'd meet back at Woodland Hills. So let me tell you what are team did.
Well, we delegated Katie as our spokeswoman because we thought houses would probably listen to a girl before 3 guys. We first decided to visit Laura Smith since she lived in the neighborhood. We started off with a danish and asked her if she had anything bigger or better, she gave us a unopened water gun. We drove down her street and ended at a nice house. The lady who opened the door was SO nice. She gave us this art piece of a girl and some bunnies in a field... or was it a forest... i dont remember. ANYWAYS, we stopped at our next house to find a younger couple who had this somewhat broken yellow 70's lamp that they didnt want, they didnt want the picture either, so they just gave us the lamp. On our way out, we see the other team, aka Team LOSER, trying to take Grants car and take purses, camera bags, etc. We gave them the picture in trade of our stuff. What losers, heh. So we took our lamp to several places pretty much being turned down left and right. We got a call from the team saying that they already won and that they had some cool stuff. Well, we kept on going and we ended up at this house that was answered by two teenagers. I think they were both freshman, one from CBHS and the other from Cordova. After a bit of chit chat the kid had said there was a couch they didnt want but he would need to call his mom. He comes back and says he couldnt get him mom. We tested out the lamp in front of them so they saw it worked. Well we gave them Katie's cell number to the kids so they could call us if they reached their mom. Well... time passed by like no body's business. We still hadnt traded the lamp. Well we get a call from the kids with time running close to 1:15. The mother said we could have the couch, it seems the kid really liked the lamp. To make a long story short (too late) we had to break the legs of the chair, and we fit it in a suburban that the lady had. We drove it to Woodland Hills and showed the other team what we got. We definitely won, they had some random items, (steering collumn, skiis, etc) but we won. The lady took the couch because the friend (the cordova student) wanted it for his room, and since we were just going to chunk it we let him have it.
We hung out at Woodland hills for a minute before splitting up. We took a lot of pictures so i'll post them eventually when I get the developed.

So I got home and took a nap until about 5:30 where I called Jordan to see if he wanted to do anything tonight. He's at work and he'll call me later, which is where the story will pick up later.

so until next time.
