I'm a HERO!



It is unprecedented I know -- TWO POSTS IN TWO DAYS -- but I just had to share.


I DONATED BLOOD!

If anyone remembers, last year I tried to donate blood. I was so so so so excited all day! I practiced my squeezing motion, I drank enough, and I slept enough. I was totally prepared.
But I didn't have enough iron.

I was so disappointed, I nearly started crying no joke.

BUT MY DAYS OF BEING IRON DEFICIENT ARE APPARENTLY OVER.
I am now a spinach eater, which apparently is packed with iron! WOOHOO! So today spur of the moment I checked to see if they had a time, then they said yes. Then I filled out my questionnaire, passed all their tests, and went crazy!

Please notice the sign that says: I make a difference!

Not only did I donate blood, but I did it FAST! My time was 4:18 flat. I was told and I quote:
"4:18 is fast, especially for a girl." When I was comparing times with my guy friends afterwards --- I had them beat.. just saying...
