Cheap Tuesday

Movie choices last night: Fired Up (2 jocks go to cheerleading camp) or Knowing (Nicholas Cage and mysterious numbers). So we went to Knowing. It seemed pretty good while we were watching it, but about five steps out of the theatre we thought of about 10 things that didn't make sense. Oh well. Sam was working so we didn't have to pay for popcorn. She said she had a reputation to uphold.
Took the afternoon off today and went with my friend Jean from work to have lunch with our friend and former co-worker Carla in Red Deer. It was a good visit and since I was able to get everything done that I needed to do at work in the morning, I am wondering if I have to work full-time. A half-day off a week would come in handy.
Got the furnace and window quotes back. Geoff is now trying to talk me out some of my reno plans.
Off to give blood.

What's your blood type?
We will need a new furnace too-we're thinking heatpump, but not sure yet. Also need to redo front deck. Happily all the windows were redone. I have to say, new windows are nice.

I'm B-. I'm very proud of my blood. High protein, high iron, high platlet count - whatever I give, they love me over there.

Oh Sam, you are such an awesome citizen. But so are your parents!

A half-day off a week = its weight in gold. Although I am a spender, I would always take time over money.

Wait - in light of my recent educational plans, I'm not sure that makes much sense.

Well, do as I say, not as I do.

My blood is B positive. Lisa, I hope you are better at inserting needles than the nurse I had last night. It hurt, which it usually doesn't, then she hit a valve (whatever that means) and the blood wouldn't flow. So they didn't get much and all my answers to the questions about my sex life with Africans were wasted.

Whoa, B-, you're a rare bird Sam. No wonder they love you.
I'm interested in your sex life with Africans Theresa. I laughed out loud at that comment. I wish they'd take my blood-they refuse. Stupid infertility drugs. Now I may be harbouring Mad Cow disease. Or is it my sordid past with that charming exchange student in 1989? I refuse to tell.
