All Hallow's Eve!!!

Happy Eve-to-All-Saint's-Day everybody!!!!!

My office building's property manager sponsored a blood drive today. And, in my book, that's totally awesome!! I mean, c'mon!?! What better day to ask for people's blood than Halloween?! I gave my first pint today and I'm SO proud of me! I can't wait for another 56 days (that's how long you have to wait to donate again so that your red blood cells have enough time to regenerate) to go donate again!!!

And, btw, that's 2 days after CHRISTMAS!!!!!

So, here's my plug to all things good - GO DONATE!!! If you want mo' info befo' you go.... visit www.givelife.org or call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543).

I can't believe I've never given blood before!! It wasn't that bad.... but I wasn't as nervous about the needles and the blood - it's how woozy you feel afterwards!!! But, I didn't get as woozy as I thought I would. I actually didn't get dizzy until I climbed the stairs to my office.... helloooooo!! How did I think I was going to feel? But at least today I have a fully legitimate excuse for propping my feet up on my desk or lying on the floor!!

Hope everyone gets more treats than tricks tonight!!!!
