I just got back from donating platelettes. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, although I'm kind of tired now. They had me do a smaller unit than normal because it was my first time donating platelettes. I guess I'll be doing that again in the not too distant future! :-) Ever since my grandpa neede platelette transfusions to stay alive as long as he did, I've been kind of interested in donating them. But I also have O- bloot type and I thought that they needed the whole blood more than the platelettes. I found out, however, that they also type the platelettes as well as whole blood. And when then called me to ask if I would be willing, I said yes.

Dang... I forgot to get my 1 gallon pin today. At least 1 gallon with Puget Sound Blood center. I believe I have donated at least 2 other gallons in the past!

Anyway. Yesterday I got to spend a bunch of time chaufferring Michael around for some last minute Christmas Shopping. It was pretty fun. I also introduced him to Mr. Gyros. Mmmm! :-) Jeff joined us down at Gene and Michael's house for some yummy left over casserole. It was fun to sit and talk!

I think I'm going to go lie down now and take a nap. After that I'll head down to Shoreline to watch Valentine for a couple of hours. I hope he's up to playing quiet games today!

Found my cards!

Um... good for you on the platelettes! YAY you for giving back :)

Fun shopping with someone... helping them spend money... YAY!

I am starting to feel like Blither, blither, blither! We head to my in-laws this evening readying for the flight tomorrow, I think I remember everything.

Oh! Your hubby's gift should show at my office tomorrow :(, so he will have to wait till near the New Year for it. Ah well.

Merry Christmas! and stuff...

Jeri Lynn Rockz!

We really appreciate your being available to watch Valentine on short notice. I have him home from school now, playing basketball, so he can run off someof his energy and will be more amenable to playing quiet games.

I got my 4 gallon pin this year, but I've never given platelets. I admire you for that! Guess I'm a big chicken after all...
