We decided to do a real adult thing and apply for life insurance. They sent a nurse out to our home to do some tests on us this morning. I have spent most of my adult life under the delusion that I am 5'4" tall. Today I learned that I am actually 5'5 1/2" tall. With my shoes off and everything. Wow. My identity has been shaken, but I feel tall now.
The nurse (who was kinda crazy--she asked if she could use our bathroom and warned that she might make "stinkies") also took some blood samples from us. I'm a veteran blood donator, so needles don't really phase me so much. I always try to get Mark to come with me, but he always forcefully declines. I won't be asking him again. Two vials of blood and he started getting woozy. The next thing I knew he was passed out on the kitchen table. And the crazy nurse started saying something about 'seizures'. It freaked me out, but a few seconds later and he woke up and we all had a good laugh. The best news of all? Mark learned that you can dream when you're passed out, even if it's only for 30 seconds.

Where the dreams good? Good enough to give blood (samples) again?
We have life insurance too, Tim got his blood drawn and puked while the nurse was still there. Awesome. I'm glad she made "stinkies" in your bathroom cuz that's not strange at all you know going into a complete strangers house and going #2. I am terrified of needles too, hope he is feeling better and glad he didn't have any seizures.
I just remembered that the first time I had my blood checked for life insurance, my cholesterol was too low! I was bumped to a more expensive premium category. Although the costs stunk, I found it quite enjoyable to work on getting my cholesterol back up ;)
Oh poor Mark... hope the dream was good though and after words every thing went well.
