The Red Cross & Ben Franklin: An odd combination indeed.

Talk about luck!!

Our stake had a blood drive this past Friday and Ashley and I decided to go donate some life fluid. It was actually all her idea; I had completely forgotten about it until she called me and reminded me about it.

I thought I’d help the process go a little more smoothly by taking my American Red Cross Donor Card.  I’m actually not sure if this makes any of the registration process go any faster at all, but it makes me feel like it does.

So I was rummaging through my nightstand looking for my card and I saw my old wallet.  I thought, “Hmmm… Maybe it’s in there.”  As I looked through the wallet, I caught a glimpse of a couple corners of currency.  I thought, “Oh, I left a couple dollar bills in here. Sweet!”

Well… Turns out it wasn’t a couple dollar bills, but cool $203.03!!!  (I found a Target gift card with $3.03 on it along with the two Benjamins!!)

Yeehaw!!  Thank You American Red Cross!!

How cool is that? You get the good feeling of donating blood, PLUS the instant reward of $$! Cool story.

I don't think I have EVER had that much money in a wallet of mine. Cha, ching!
