Giving

Today, I gave blood.

Good for me! It's a great weight loss strategy, not to mention an interesting way to meet people. Of course, there is the added benefit of helping others, but, hey, I do that all day long, right?

I find it interesting the adversions to giving blood. The biggest, of course, being because of the freakishly large bore needle they jam into your arm. Today they decided (ok, they didn't decide...) to "nick" a nerve. Oy de mi does that smart!!! Luckily, I am all better now, tingle free and not bleeding.

Anyhow, I would love to post more pictures of my home, but, alas, I am at work, and do not have access to my pictures.

Oh! I know another reason I wanted to post! I took a Zumba class last night, and was reminded again that I am certainly my mother's daughter, and also that I am, indeed, white. Which translates to "unable to pat head and rub belly." It was fun, and admittedly it was funny to try to figure out just how exactly to step left-right-left-hop-left-right-left-hop, while waving arms lefthigh-righthigh-leftlow-rightlow-roll-lefthigh etc.

I am glad they do not allow cameras in gyms!!!
