Blood loss

Apparently when you donate blood and they tell you to take it easy for the next 24 hours, they don't mean to go home and rake your lawn in the hot afternoon sun and then spend ten minutes on the porch step with your head between your knees. I blame it on the cute boots I wore this morning. They made me cocky. Of course, I didn't wear the boots while I was raking. That would be stupid. And I'm anything but stupid.

Obviously.

Cute boots make you invincible, not cocky.

But yeah, take it easy!

I love you Becky... you make me feel normal! :D

Cute boots do make all the difference in what you dare to do though, don't they?!

Could we see a picture of your cute boots please?

I'm jealous. It's still so hot here that if I wore boots all day, or even half a day, it would probably have the same effect as donating blood.

so did you land on the ground? Pass out or something embarrassing?

Seriously, We need to see the reason you got cocky :)

I'm pretty sure you just shouldn't give blood in the first place.

lol. i pass out easily enough anyway when i give blood. i use it as a free pass to get out of anything i want for two days or so :-)

and yes, i think we need to see these cute boots.

It gets hot there? My little guy was just asking me about that yesterday. He wondered if it ever gets hot in Alaska. I told him I was pretty sure that it does during the summer . .. but you've been having autumn already, right? Anyway, I am burning with curiousity.

maybe I should buy myself some cute boots so our leaves didn't stay on the ground for weeks?

Unfortunately we have 8 trees that lose their leaves in the fall (that's December 2-9 around here) and another that doesn't shed until the Spring (Feb 21-23)... that tree annoys me enough that I don't think boots will help.

You do ONE triatholon and suddenly you're unstoppable, huh? Cocky, indeed. *wink*
