Goal# 31 – Become a Donor
Man… I am hitting the year running. I get to mark something off my list and its only the second of January.
Well, Rob and I finally got off our lazy arses and went to the DMV today. We presented the lovely lady (insert sarcasm here) with our paperwork and were handed a ticket number. The first hour of wait was OK. Second hour of wait was just painful in every shape of form (hey, you try standing on a broken foot for 2 + hours and get back to me). But I must say, we saw our share of CRAZY people during our wait and also got to watch the lovely lady mentioned above go from sort of bitchy to a MEGA BITCH in no time. Anywho, around 4:00PM EST my number got called and I was able to proceed to taking my written test (yes, NC is smart like that and they make everyone re-take their written exam to get a license). I managed to pass the test with flying colors and was handed a piece of paper to take to the lovely lady mentioned above to have my photo taken and I am now an official NC resident and I have a horrid license to prove it. But back to the reason for the post, I am now an Organ Donor. Not necessarily sure that they can ever use any of my organs due to an illness when I was a child, but I am an Organ Donor nonetheless. Being a Donor is something I have always wanted to do and not being a religious person I don’t think I need to go where ever we go after death with all my pieces only to have them rot, when they can save someone’s life. I feel great about being able to mark this goal off my list.
Remember – Recycle Yourself!

Bravo! We did this too years ago when we made our wills. Both things many people fail to do and should do.
