the best weight loss program ever...and save three lives

last thursday i lost weight: 1 pound in 7.5 minutes while i saved three lives.

......I donated blood.

and i hate needles, (sorry shaz.)
for my b-day i had decided i wanted to do something brave, so i wanted to give blood....though the last time i did i cried like a little girl....so what? it totally freaked out the friend across from me giving blood too. he tried to be very supportive and cheered me up with jokes while i kept sniffing and letting water drip down my nose. then he almost passed out. my good looks had finally gotten to him...and then his body revolted. anyhow, he and i both made it through with ice packs behind out necks and on our chests.

this time i told the nurse i was totally ok with blubbering like a baby. but i didn't do it. totally came close, but she talked me through everything, was super nice and helped me wiggle my feet forward and back as my legs started to go numb from the knees down.

then afterwards they treat you're their favoritest person in the whole world.
"You want a cookie? Which kind? We have four. Take a couple."
"Which juice would you like? Want another one?"
"How about a granola bar? Take a couple. And this water bottle. And a fun grip pen. And a pad of paper. And enter into a drawing for more prizes. And hey, while you're at it, take this shirt, and pick out a sticker."

Dude, could it get any better??? Treated like a princess and the special phrase, "Whatever you want, honey. Whatever you want." Oh, i love that phrase. seriously, i'm not spoiled. i just like the option.

everyone should get treated this way. go save three people's lives.
