I was up before half past six on friday morning. It was painful. And for anything else, i probably would have blown off any committment that was dumb enough to start at 7am. But, it was for charity, so i hauled my exhausted ass out of bed and stumbled off to church.
We ('we' being Dr.B, Mr.Music and i) were giving out free muffins/juice/iced coffee to people as they wandered into the show. We were all set up by the entrance to the show. Two hours later, the construction crew that was hanging around turned into a crowd of parents and children rushing to get into the showgrounds before 9am. We managed to give our tasty goods to 72 (yep, we kept count) people. Not many, considering the fact that hundreds walked past, but many others said we were doing 'beautiful work' and seemed impressed by the fact that we were up early to do a favour for the community.
We did meet some interesting characters during our helpful two hours. There was the 'Ah-noo'-guy, who wore a puppet on his hand (that we all shook hands with) and was a little creepy - though he gave me a $1 bill, which was really cool! Then there were the guys from the army; they were selling things and still made more business than us! But we gave them some paraphenalia and they seemed keen, haha. Plus, one of them was really cute! The wife of a wood-cutter hung out with us for awhile, as she waited for her husband, and she was a real character.
Eventually, we had to leave, because i had uni! Nautrally, the boys couldn't let us leave without a few inappropriate jokes concerning me and the Army guys... that's always bizzare. We whizzed back to church, i whizzed off to uni...
It was a really fun morning. Considering my initial lack of enthusiams, it was definately better than expected. I got to meet a bunch of random people, and have a good ol' random time. Perfect!
