bummer

so... today there was a blood drive at the church. i don't usually do blood drives at the church cause they didn't work very well with my school ones. anyway, we went- mom, kendle, devin and me- and nicole and zac got there right after us! but it was kinda awful! (and when i say "kinda" i mean "really" :) ). so we waited and waited, drank water, ate cookies and cheezits and nutter butters (naturally, it's a blood drive!) i went to the bathroom three, count them, three times! but it was all in vain! kendle got deferred first, her temperature was too high. then mom got deferred. her iron was too low. (your iron has to be at least 12.5. mom's was 12.2 :(. by the way, kendle was a beast. her iron was at 13.8!!) and last, and very least, my iron was at 11.5. sad face. nicole was even more of a beast than kendle! her iron was in the 14s. i don't remember exactly. (sorry nicole! :)) so nicole gave blood and saved lives! then went off to work and saved more lives! she's my hero! hehe. after 2 hours and 15 minutes, zac and devin still hadn't even been called! so out of 6 of us, nicole was the only one to actually donate! kind of a depressing blood drive. :(

ps- today was not a bad day thought! i got two new dresses! :)

that was a rather disheartening trip to the red cross... but oh so funny! hahahaha!! :)

serious bummer! I like giving blood! My iron levels have rocked the last few times! but after passing out the last couple times, I don't think Dustin will let me donate anymore... sad.
