Shveet.

apparently I have a twin.

She has the same hair,
Same build,
Similar face,
And similar outfits.
(according to Dana)
Who knew?

Ouch, Charlie

Maybe you think this is weird, or too much information, but here it goes.
I like giving blood.
I know that sounds strange, a lot of people can't even think about it, but I do.
I like the feeling that I'm helping other people.
It's not difficult.
You lay on a bed and squeeze a ball for 3 to 7 minutes and you save up to 3 lives. It's nice.
I also enjoy the snacks. It's like free lunch.
I try to give blood as often as I can.
However, like most things in my life (planes, stairs, etc.), I'm not very good at it.
In high school, my mom banned me from giving blood at the school blood drives, because I always ended up looking like someone had beaten me (They sent the trainees to Broken Arrow High School blood drives. Not the best)
At BYU, though, I've had success. I can do it not very many minutes, usually just in between my classes.
I've never passed out.
But I do bruise easily.
Somehow, I always end up having these veins that don't want to relinquish their precious syrup of life. So, the nurses have to persuade them by moving the needle.
This is what happened on Monday when I gave blood in the ward blood drive.
Today, (early Friday morning) this is what my arm looks like.

Good thing it's winter and long sleeves are acceptable, people might think I'm a druggie.

ice ice baby.

So, I know that my family may scoff when I say that it's cold outside, as they sit in their 3 feet of snow, but I would like to paint a picture for you all.

This morning, I woke up it was nice and toasty in my bed, but when I looked at my window, I knew that the warm and toasty feeling wouldn't last as soon as my feet touched the floor. My windows were steamy. Steamy like I had been doing more than just sleep (which I was not).

Then I put on my glasses and realized there was something else wrong with my window. It was frosted and iced shut. On the INSIDE!

You think I'm lying, don't you? I thought you would. Therefore, I took a picture for you. Several. Just to prove it to you.




Good morning, crap fest.
