Then, I continued to read the e-mail. Damn, that was one helluva gift basket. I grabbed $20 and ran to her office. Guess what. I won! Here are a couple of pictures:
Each department at Baptist Hospital here in Beaumont was responsible for creating gift baskets and selling tickets to win the baskets. My basket was created by the Medical Records department. The hospital raised about $8,000 for the March of Dimes and I got a basket full of stuff that will be kick ass for the beach. It's over $1200 worth of stuff. Here's what I won:

- Round of golf for two with cart at Brentwood Country Club

- 4 Astros tickets (Astros vs. Oakland)

All that stuff for twenty bucks, helps The March of Dimes, and you're good lookin' too!
Too cool! I was so busy at work yesterday I didn't see the e-mail until after lunch. Ya know I thought "I hope someone in the office gets it"
Your welcome
P
Damn. I'll take what you don't want.
Hi Laurie, $1200.00 for a $20.00 investment, now that's GOOD value.
Wow! That is some Easter basket. And all for a good cause, too. Congrats!
wow, cool, You won big!!!!
and now you have horse shoes for next week at the beach!
I believe you promised me the Lamar t-shirt, Missy. Seriously though, if you don't know anybody who could use them, I'll buy the golf trips from you. But that's only if you absolutely know no one who would want them. Just let me know. Happy Easter and see you Monday. Love and kisses, Carly.
Awesome!
I am so jealous abut that gift certificate for Hooters!
Did I see Pork Rinds in that basket? Daaaaamn, you are lucky!
Just how a lucky streak starts! Well done. I've caught up on all your blogging. Golly, I had missed a whole lot. I'll try not to do that again.
Damn, girl! How lucky is that, color me envious! hehe
I see pork rinds! I used to eat those all the time. The extra spicy ones.
10 games of bowling - you are one lucky girl. And you know I'm not being sarcastic.
Congratulations!
Everybody - Thanks for all the congratulations! I wish I could take you all to Hooters on my gift certificate. :)
Carly and P - See you Monday!
Well aside from the TO jersey, that basket rocks.
And the pork rinds puts it as the best basket ever!
Awesome! Congratulations...
Grimm - Everybody is really excited about those pork rinds.
La Sirena - Thanks!
What I want to know is: Who are you taking to Hooters? ;-)
Laura - The highest bidder. :)
Are you bringing the pork rinds to the beach? I'm gonna have Nick's boudain, you know.
Pokerboss - I'll trade you a handful of pork rinds for a couple of inches of Nick's boudain!!
