Two Days of Giving - It is too difficult to give

I don't know how you volunteers and givers out there do it. I tried to give for a few days and couldn't keep my streak alive. Yesterday I gave to Deschutes Brewery. I gave bartenders Shawn and Allison a nice tip. I gave my belly a couple of pints. I gave Best Buy and Ross some money.

I did buy a gift for a giving tree but I'm not going to mention where or for who (or is it whom?). On my way back from lunch and running errands I was about to go to American Red Cross to give blood but I chickened out and feel bad about it. I am deathly afraid of needles. I don't have any piercings or tattoos because of it. I HATE NEEDLES! I'm a wuss.

So I don't have a good post about what I donated to yesterday or today. A couple of you readers sent in recommendations and one of which was food related. Thanks Shawn for alerting me about the Family Kitchen. I emailed the ministry to find out how I can help and haven't heard back. I also am waiting to hear back from COVO.

I'm not giving up but I didn't make my goal of a week's worth of giving. I'm making a resolution to do much much more over the next year. So I'll get back to what I do best (or slightly better than average) and that's writing about what I eat at Bend Oregon Restaurants.
