Beneficial

Johnny Rocker, a bartender at the Flatiron, fell off a ladder some weeks ago and cracked his skull and his cheekbone. Last night they held a benefit for him, and I bought $20 in raffle tickets (10 @ $2.) My friend Rebecca handed me her tickets as she left, so I had around twenty tickets for the raffle.

I won and won big. I walked away with:

- Two giveaway kits from Bath and Body Works
- A $50 gift certificate to 13 Roses Tattoo (I just don't know about getting a tat...)
- A $25 gift certificate to The Gravity Pub
- A gift certificate for one hour of massage
- A gift certificate for two tickets to a comedy show

There was still one round of raffle stuff remaining but I didn't stick around. I handed the rest of my tickets to a woman at the bar and took my loot home.

Time to re-gift -- at least the tat gift certificate!

Yea, I was thinking about re-gifting it to my mother-in-law. Would that fall in the category of uglies?

I was going to call for the tattoo certificate, don't just don't tell my husband!
