So yes, I am trying blogging. Even after giving Anna B all that trouble I have decided that I must proclaim before all of of mankind and surely no one who reads this my thoughts on life and the likes. The truth is I adore journaling and the whatnot so why not be digital. I am little concerned honestly with saying too much :P
I like it but cannot add pics yet which I blame Kodak for and their terribly unuser and computer unfriendly software...
So onward and outward peeps. Today, Nancy & I braved the blood giving trenches all in the name of FREE movie tickets. Not knowing what to expect we entered the blood mobile~ a giant RV with Recliners and phlebotomists. It all started well Nancy was pricked first and hers all came out in a bout five minutes then it was my turn. The first girl couldn't even find my veins; then the mentor type Marco came over and he was able to find my vein but then when he stuck me my blood clotted and would not budge they were teasing me and telling me I wasn't giving haha and that they would have to revoke my free ticket :)
After some reassuring the pro Julie came and stuck me~it was a slow start but my blood eventually flowed after some coaxing & chugging water. I finally felt like I had earned my movie and hopefully helped a fellow citizen out. Just so you know when you give blood to community blood bank it saves a local life.. interesting huh?

I love reading your blog. I know what you mean about sometimes wondering how much you can honestly say and how true you can be because others are reading it, but I say put it out there - the more honest you are, the more people get to know the real you
ReplyDeleteYou should have asked for 2 free movie tickets since you were stuck in both arms!
ReplyDeleteGlad you survived blood giving!! I am officially linking you to my blog list... so don't turn into a crappy blogger... got it? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I can handle the pressure Anna... please define crappy blogger. Is that like bad grammar or repulsive content?
