Squeamish...

Twice a year - my place of employment has a blood drive and up until a year ago (read:  2 blood drives ago), I would donate blood.  Something happened and now the mere thought of donating blood creeps me out!!!!  My heart palpitates and not in a good way {like seeing a crush} but in a nervous palpitating way that causes fear and trepidation to course through my veins. 

I've become a chicken!!!

What's a girl to do?  I gave myself a pep talk..."Angie Good, you need to donate blood!  It will save up to 3 lives!"  This wasn't working....so I took another approach.  "They will take 16 ounces which is 1 pound.  You will lose weight!  You are required to not work-out which means you can have coffee with Lauren instead of hitting the gym!  If you donate, you can have a snack.  You love the apple juice!!!"  Yep, it still didn't work.  I wasn't buying into any of it.  Forget weight loss...forget apple juice...(sigh).

I am squeamish and a big chicken! 

I wish I knew what is the cause of my squeamish state.
