hello stranger

i think it's sad when you accidentally run into your neighbor at the local coffee shop and she calls you kate.
she even asks when saying hello, "it's kate, right?"
no. no it's not.
what have we been doing these past 7 years we've lived across the street from one another? i guess i just haven't borrowed enough cups of sugar from you for you to get to know my real name.

saving lives one needle at a time

i saved 3 lives by donating blood at the shady portable memorial blood center stand at the high school. i have a battle wound, a very impressive bruise, if i do say so myself. i'm going to start donating blood every 2 months from now on... 10 gallon club here i come!
