Donation time again

First off I want to wish my big bro, Rob, a very Happy B-day tomorrow!! I know I am certainly not aging, so I am sure the same goes for you. (good genes wink, wink)

Today was a much better day then yesterday (at least for me, Heather's household may beg to differ). Yesterday it took me over two hours to get to work in the lovely winter wonderland. But the roads were great again today and I was singing a happy tune!

This evening I donated blood again. I did sooooo much better than last time. Yippee!! I didn't get sweaty at all! I could sit up and read my book the entire time. My time was 5:22 (that's how long it took me to fill up my bag). That has got to be some kind of record, right?!?!?! So the next time I go that is the time to beat. Better start those fist pumps and get my veins ready for the challenge!!

Myles is at Young Men's tonight. When I asked what they were doing tonight he told me they were playing Ding-Dong-Ditch'em. I was flabbergasted that this would be a church activity! But of course there was more to the story. They would be leaving gifts on peoples porches and then ringing the bell and running so the recipient didn't know who left the treat.... Much better church activity!! Whew! (ok- I was about to post this and Myles just showed up with a bleeding face. While out and about the boys started throwing snowballs. Well the one that met Myles' face was an ice-ball. Poor kid!)

Over the past few months I have taken part in a Biggest Loser group. We have a blog where we each post our weekly progress, good or bad. You can post great links you have found, new classes, recommendations, etc... So with the new year rapidly approaching I was wondering if any of you would be interested in making our own kind of group. We would need to have enough so it is motivational and encouraging (instead of just me confessing to downing my weight in ice cream). So give me a shout if you would wanna join.

The boston blackie kind
A two toned ricky ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of andy devine" -- Jimmy Buffett (one of my favorite JB songs)
