New Discovery Christian Church is kindly sponsoring a blood drive for my son, Austin, at Hernando Middle School on October 1st at 6pm. We’re organizing this drive to help Austin (a hemophiliac), and others like him by donating blood and raising awareness. Donating blood not only helps Austin by providing blood for his transfusions, but also helps provide factor (plasma derived) for the infusions Austin can’t live without. Please comment here, or email me at cschmied@gmail.com if you have any questions. You can also visit the church’s site at http://newdiscoverychurch.com/special.html to get more info. 

Thanks, 
Chris

One of my pet projects is finally up and running! I’ve been wanting an online resource for help with von Willebrand questions, and I’ve been willing to make one myself since the universe is so lacking. So my local CSL Behring rep, Mark, hooked me up with a mom in NY, Jessica. Will and I have the web know-how, she has been a vWD mom and patient and knows it all inside and out. Together, we all made You, Me & vWD. It’s up and running and I really hope we can help people!

I know Trueblood is brand new, but I love this series!  And I know he doesn’t stand a chance, but I’m rooting for Sam.  Not just because he’s a cutie-patootie, but because I think he’s a good guy.  

I’ve got some band photos of the HHS band up on my flickr page for anyone that’s interested. And here’s a couple of photos of my favorite trombone player.

Ok, here’s the video from the first movement of the half-time show last Friday night.

Super Allergy Girl is back!  

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am back to sneeze all over you.  I even brought my little sneezelings and Congestion Man.  We’re all here to cover you and yours in super snot.  

Now if I could just find my cape and some Kleenex……

Yesterday, Will and I took Small Fry out to Logan’s Roadhouse in Southaven.  Not a place you would think a vegetarian would be dying to eat.  Normally I just munch on the chips and artichoke dip, but yesterday I felt like trying something new.  So I got the vegetable skewer.  It was amazing!  I loved it.  I haven’t enjoyed eating there since I went vegetarian, until yesterday.  Wow, great stuff.  And don’t judge it by the photo.  I took it with my phone, after I had eaten half of it, just because I knew it was yummy enough to blog about.
