Giving to the Community, Among Other Humdrum Activities

Today was rather uneventful.  We stayed home for the first half of the day and then we went shopping for groceries and finished our Christmas shopping.  Yes, I know Christmas was 2 days ago, but we didn't know what to buy for a few people and so the brainstorming took until today.  The recipients know that their gifts are arriving late and it's kind of like a second or delayed Christmas for them.

We were also searching for a Bumbo for Weston.  Apparently, they are a hot item, because it took us 6 stores to finally find one that wasn't pink or lilac.  We finally got one and Weston enjoys sitting in it while watching the world go by.  We picked a green one so that we can use the Bumbo for future babies.

While we were shopping, we came across a bloodmobile, so Doug and I gave blood.  Doug had never given blood before.  He was very brave.  Haha.  I have given blood many times before, beginning when I was in high school.  I did it back then to get out of class, specifically French.  Anyway, 2 (or more) people in north Alabama will now benefit from our blood. 

Tomorrow we have a busy day, so hopefully the weather will be warmer, since today was fairly frigid.
