i heart giving

blood, that is
i love giving blood
is that weird?
i always wanted to when i was little
to be like my dad and older siblings
and then the first time i did
i was sixteen
and it gave me such a good feeling
plus
free juice and treats?
well, that doesn't hurt either
luckily michael's work sets up blood drives
and he took the kids to the science center
today while i gave
it was awesome
michael especially liked that i grabbed
an extra treat to share with him

I love giving blood too! It has been forever since I was able to though (anemia-what can you do?) I hope I can give some soon!

You are brave! I am too scared to try! ( I don't like needles... maybe that will change soon.)

Since you asked - yes that's weird! But only because I'm so much the opposite way. Good for you!

That's so good! It was nice talking to you today. I've missed you!

I am so scared of needles. And I always pass out when they take my blood....so I can't say I share your enthusiasm. lol But I'm glad someone out there enjoys it!
