A couple of weeks ago, my neighbor called to ask if there was any way I could give blood in her little girl's name for a blood drive they were holding at the school. Apparently, if the kids got at least one person to sign up, they would get a prize, and my neighbor can't give because she's anemic. (And her daughter really wanted a prize. :-))

I am not anemic, & happen to have really good blood, actually. The Red Cross loves me--I always have good iron, my blood runs fast, & I never get dizzy afterwards. *g* So I said sure. I haven't been to a blood drive in a while & was feeling guilty about that, anyway, so this seemed like the perfect excuse to get back.

And it was. It all went very well, & now my neighbor's daughter will get her prizes. :-)

But it doesn't end there. This neighbor also happens to be one of the nicest in the world. To thank me for giving blood in her daughter's name, she bought me pizza for supper. Awwwww! LOL Her little girl is having a sleepover tonight, so she had to run into town for pizzas, anyway, & she picked one up for me while she was there. Like I said, Awwwww! I thought that was about the sweetest thing ever. I'd give blood just about every day if I thought there was going to be a pizza in it for me. :-D
