7 Years Ago Today

Ok, you got me again....not really today, but yesterday...7 years ago yesterday, I donated a kidney to my brother. We're both just peachy and today I got some beautiful flowers from my brother and his wife to commemorate. Why no picture you ask? Dead battery in the camera and just haven't had a chance to stop for a new one. Can you believe it?!?

Once again...I must climg on my soap box...if you haven't registered online to be an organ donor please do so today. Do not sign your license do not tell your family...those things do not matter according to Illinois Law...you MUST register on line. Actually you can sign your license, but unless you're registered online, your family can still over ride your decision. Please make the decision while you're healthy and your family isn't under the stress of losing a loved one. REGISTER TODAY!! And, if you feel so moved, register to become a live donor...it was a piece of cake surgery and we can all live just fine with one kidney. Thousands of people each year die waiting for organs. Please don't take your organs to Heaven, Heaven knows we need them on Earth!

Jet Lag

Feeling a bit of jet lag today, which is sure to get worse this weekend. I will be leaving for school tonight...to return tomorrow and then head to my great nephew's 1st birthday. Hopefully, upon our return on Sunday, I can do laundry, homework, and then collapse.

Last night I had a minute to watch Oprah's big give. FOR SURE!!! This is my show. If she has this show again, (and I'm not in school) I feel the need to definitely try to be a contestant. What an awesome experience!

Meeting my friend Carlene for dinner tonight at Chili's...Quesadilla explosion here I come!

Have you registered to be an organ donor yet?

Until next time...

Holiday...

So. I'm out of town for two days at a state wide DCFS training. The info is really great, but my brain is FULL UP!

I just wanted to let you all know to check out the link to the right for CF husband. This is a blog I've been reading about a family who is waiting for a double lung transplant. Since April is Organ donor Awareness month....PLEASE pray for this family and sign up to be a donor if you haven't already. PLEASE don't take your organs to Heaven....Heaven knows we need them on Earth.
