P90X and snow in Apil

Oh yeah!!
 we are now on day 20 of P90 and it really has been fun! I know that that probably seems strange but I have been loving it. Well I really don't love getting up early, but the fact that I been feeling so well has been fabulous!

I feel so much better since we have been working out and actually feel a little bit skinnier. My jeans were not as tight today so that makes me happy! So....heres to hoping that I'll keep feeling great :-)

Ok, so seriously I was driving home from my moms last night after watching 3 episodes of Vampire Diaries(my mom and I's guilty pleasure when no boys are around, hehe) and it was as though I was back in January and was driving through a blizzard.  It was April 19th. Something about that is just not right, gross!! Michigan, please collect your memos and realize that it is supposed to be spring!!


In another note, I got a hair cut on Thursday! I'm loving it! :-) I got about 4 and 1/2 inches cut off and my hair has decided that it can now curl properly. Hooray! I even got purple in it too! Its really quite fun.

We have a showing on our house tomorrow!! Which is exciting, maybe the people will like it and buy it!!

Oh one last thing, I now only need $500 for my mission trip to Peru. God is so good!! So I'm praying that I will get all that I need!

Ok, I'm done I'm really tired and should go to bed but I know that wont actually happen for at least another 30 minutes.

Blood

Yesterday I tried to be good and give blood. I have given blood twice before and yesterday I didnt get to! UGH! I actually really enjoy knowing that I can help someone simply by giving of my blood and its healthy to do as well.

So first of all, there were lots of different nurses working yesterday and they were not very nice, so strike one.

I went back to get my temperature taken and it was 99.3 which it has to below 99.5 in order to give blood. (so that made me nervous) And the really ornery nurse asked me if I was feeling well, I actually felt great despite having sore legs from working out that morning. A womans body temperature fluctuates throughout the month.  oh well, clearly I know more than that nurse. Strike two - Don't ask me if I'm feeling alright, if I didnt feel well I would not be donating blood.

Then she proceeded to give me a nice little pin prick to get my hemoglobin....and as she does this, she squeezes my finger  at least 5 times to get some blood finally the sixth time must have been the charm as she finally put the slide in the machine. It took way to long so I knew something was up. It beeped and said LL which I guess meant that my hemoglobin was to low. Really? Maybe if you had told me to warm up my fingers a little or taken one of the first drops of blood, I  could already be done but of course not. So she proceeds to tell me that I can try the other hand, so I say sure why not. I get poked yet again by a different but still hostile looking nurse, and this time my hemoglobin is 12.2 but it has to be 12.5 in order to donate. Strike three - Please act a little bit sympathetic toward me, you are a nurse after all and I am trying to do something good. 

Its just super annoying to me that I could not give blood yesterday, I wasn't even anemic. My hemoglobin was well within normal range but it has to be at 12.5 in order to give blood. Seeing as it was at 12.2, I wish I could have at least been able to do decide if I wanted to give blood, but no the mean nurses and  The Red Cross get to make those decisions for me. UGH!!

Ok my ranting is done. Better luck next time!
