Here's something fun to do, and while it has absolutely nothing to do with kidneys (or health or medications) it certainly can't be bad to party with me at the Ultimate Blog Party 2008! Fun and crazy parting on the net - woo hoo!

Without further adieu, let me introduce myself to you...

I'm Krissi. I'm a 31 year old optimistic realist, and My Kidney Blog tells you about (part of) my life's story: of my life-long journey with chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure (ESRD), hemo-dialysis and kidney transplantation.

The Six-Word Memoirs website is going viral. And, really, why shouldn't it? It seems like an amazing idea to put one's own life-summary into six little words.

Here's mine:

While we vacationed in Arizona over the holidays, I happened to see a vehicle in a parking lot that had the actual Donate Life official symbol on the license plate!

I took a cue from the comments on "I'm Not Contagious (You Are!)" and had a little fun with my on-board/in-flight face mask...

Just in case you can't quite read what it says (darn phone camera) I wrote "SMILE! Don't Worry - I'm not contagious (you are!)" with a pen I found in the bottom of my backpack.
