What goes around comes around

hmmm, so the other night, we were over Mike and Nicoles and I noticed that it was unusually warm when we left (we left their house around 9:00). Sophia falls asleep in her playroom and around 9:30, we hear this aweful noise. Wind and rain are beating on our livingroom window so bad. Chad runs into the breezeway and yells for me to come. The rain was blowing in a circle. It was crazy. It was raining SO hard and the wind was SO bad. I immediately freaked remembering the tornado I was in last December where a microburst ripped up our street and down Main. It tore roofs off, windows... It was the craziest 2 minutes of my life that day. All I could think of was, "oh shit, it's happening again". The weather was very warm and erie that day too.. Well, as fast as this one came, it quit. It knocked our power out but we had no major damage.

Yesterday, I was at my neighbors again for dinner and they told us that the one neighbor (we do not get along with this man for anything), his barn blew down. Apparently, there was a microburst and leveled his barn.

This man makes life miserable for us. He is a miserable human being.

I guess what goes around, comes around.

Give blood!

I bother to blog. No one is going to want to read my ramblings but that's ok. Wow, I wish we had blogging when I was in my early 20s and going out all the time. My life was like a huge soap opera. My life is so calm now, it's crazy. Most people who knew me in my early 20s probably wouldn't recognize me now.

Lets see, i donated blood today. I donate every 56 days. Everyone should. It's a great thing to do and makes me feel really good about myself for doing so. I am A negative so my blood type is somewhat rare. 7 years ago, I had my gall bladder removed and the quack who took it out knicked my colon. I was in ICU for a week and was given 2 units of blood. I am thankful someone donated.

My brother died in 2001. They gave him ALOT of blood while he was in the hospital. I feel I owe it back so that is another reason I donate.
