Disabilty Leadership Summit Countdown

4 more days until the summit!!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to go. Especially since this is my first time going to the summit. There's going to be workshops, bowling, a dinner and a dance, a pizza party, a bbq, and an awards ceremony. The summit is 4 days long. I can't wait until Sunday. I am really looking forward to the summit.

Great News!!!!!

Around June 4th, I got a letter from the disability summit, saying that I was accepted there. I can't wait to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been asking a couple of my friends who've gone there, a few questions, since this is my first time going to the summit. TOday, my mom made me go out with her. We went to Jewel for some things, we got an emissions test for the van, went to Taco Bell for lunch, went to Target to get a few things for my nephew's birthday party this Sunday, and got some to-go food for the rest of my family for dinner. A few minutes after getting home from all this, I went to the library for a while. So it was a pretty eventful day today.

My Day

I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night, which stinks. When I did get sleep, I dreamt about camp. Which is ironic, since I got a letter from camp saying that I didn't get in. I'm not very happy about that. I hope I get in next summer. Now I just have to hear from the Disability Summit to see if I got in. I really hope I do, because I really, really want to go. It seems like a lot of fun. This Sunday, there is going to be a Day in Our Village where I live. I am planning on going with a few of my friends. It seems like a lot of fun. I can't wait until then. Not much else is going on now. Just relaxing at home.

Memorial Day Fun

On Saturday, my dad barbecued in celebration of Memorial Day. I had a couple hot dogs. Sunday, I just relaxed at home. Monday, I went to Culver's and Enchanted Castle with a friend and his parents. At Culver's, I got a bacon and cheese burger, with fries and water. At Enchanted Castle, I played several arcade games, and we played a round of golf. I won. I am sore today from all that fun, though. That's ok. It will go away after a while. It's been a long time since I've been to Enchanted Castle, so it was nice to go back. I've never been to Culver's before, so I didn't really know what to expect of the food. But it was really good. I had a fun Memorial Day.

I got the application for the camp a couple of weeks ago, and filled it in and mailed it off the day I got it. I hope I hear from them soon. A few days ago, I heard that one of the campers from my group last year recently died. I know he had cancer, but I didn't expect him to die. I thought he would pull through. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I sent the disability summit application in either on Tuesday or Wednesday of last week. Now, I have to wait until the middle of next month to find out if I get to go or not. I hope I do get to go. After I mailed the application, my mom had me get some paper plates for her at Walgreens. After that, I went home and relaxed. I am so glad I'm done with applications right now. That was a lot of work, just for one application.

I am In a Foul Mood Today

I am in a really bad mood today. My jerk of a brother wouldn't let me use his computer. He hid the mouse when he wasn't using it. I now have to use a library computer. F*ing idiot. I hope I get to use it tomorrow. I still haven't filled out the last question on the summit application. But I still have some time before I have to send it in. I am also still waiting for the recommendations, and the TLC Camp application. I wonder what's taking them so long. I should of had the camp application by now. I'll give them a few more days until I call again.

Going's On

I am just about done filling out my application for the disability summit. Just one more question to go. I still need the recommendations, and then I will be able to send it in. I still did NOT get the application for TLC Camp. I wish it didn't take them so long to send it. I'll probably call again on Monday. Not much happened today. My parents are on an anniversary getaway, so I don't have to hear them nagging me to do something all the time. That is so nice. I'm just relaxing today. I'll probably relax tomorrow, too.

Update

Last Friday, I went to a doctor's appointment, and I asked him about the clicking in my knee. He said it was nothing to worry about. Yay!!!! The last few days, we got some rain here. I love it when it rains. I went for a walk today, at the local park. I am so glad it's warmer out. This Saturday, my parents are going away for the weekend, to celebrate their anniversary. Woohoo!! No parents!! Just kidding. Though I am a little happy they will be gone, so I don't have to listen to my mom nag me about doing something.

My Day

Today was a dreary day. It was raining a little, and a bit on the cold side. But I still went for a walk. I still didn't get the application for TLC Camp. This is really annoying. I am going to call them tomorrow, and ask them to send me one. This Thursday, I have a doctor's appointment, which I am not looking forward to. I never really liked going to the doctor's. And the dentist.

News

Still no application from TLC Camp. I hope they send it soon. Though, my friend said that if I don't get one soon, he'd make a copy of his and give it to me. I hope so, because I want to go to the camp this year. My knee is still bothering me, but now, my other knee is bothering me, too. I hate this. I have a doctor's appointment next week, so I can see if he can figure out what's wrong. I want my knees to get better soon.

Something On My Mind

Yesterday, I went for a walk, and took pictures along the way. I took a picture of something that was in the windowsill of an apartment, and the woman who lives there, who just happened to be right across the street, thought I was taking pictures of the inside of her house. I, of couse, was NOT!!!! I wasn't even thinking of doing that at all. Even if I did, I wouldn't have been able to, since the blinds were down. I used the zoom feature, so I only got what was on the sill. Here is the picture I took:



I understand why she thought that, but she shouldn't be so quick to jump to that conclusion. I just wanted to take this picture, because I liked the frog bank.

Easter 2009

My Easter Weekend

I had a pretty good Easter weekend. Saturday, I made cupcakes to bring to my sister's house on Sunday. I then dyed eggs. That is my FAVORITE thing to do for Easter. Sunday, my mom, dad, one of my brothers and I went to my sister's to celebrate. We had dinner (pork loin, mashed potatoes, salad, and macaroni and cheese), played video games on the Wii, and just relaxed. I had a good time. I got quite a few pictures from the day. It was fun.

My Day

Today, I had a doctor's appointment. It was a blood test thing. I normally don't mind needles, but this time, I didn't like it. It was uncomfortable. But at least it's over. In a few minutes, I plan on going for a walk. Not much else is going on today. I can't wait for Easter, because I get to see my niece and nephew (and my sister)!!!! I love being an aunt.

I Really Need to Clean My Room

This is what my room looks like now. I did a little cleaning up yesterday, but I still have a ways to go. The boxes are stuff that I want to keep, and will be put into another room, once I move my bed into that room.

My Day

Yesterday and today, I went for walks outside. 1 hour yesterday, and 1 hour and 20 minutes today. I took quite a lot of photos both times. Not much else happened. Yesterday I went to the library on my walk, and picked up a couple books that I had on hold. Tomorrow, I am planning on going to the library again, since I have something else in for me. I still haven't gotten the application for the camp. I wonder when they are going to send it.

An Update

Sunday, we got some snow, which I didn't like. This is supposed to be spring, not winter. At least the some of the snow melted today. I am planning on going for a walk a little later. I can't believe March is just about over. The month went by fast. I still haven't gotten an application from TLC. I wonder when they will be sending them out. I really wish I knew.

Belated Birthday Celebration for Mom

Today, we celebrated my mom's belated birthday. Her actual birthday was on the 7th, but she was sick then, and couldn't really celebrate that day. My parents, one of my brothers, and I went to Old Warsaw for a celebration. It started raining a little soon after we left. It was a good day overall.

My Day

Today was fairly warm out, but I didn't go outside today, to take a walk. Instead, I exercised with an exercise DVD. That was a good way to get some workout time. A friend of mine called and asked if I heard anything from TLC Camp. I told him I haven't, and he said that if he doesn't get an application by April, he'll call them, and ask what's going on. I hope they send out the applications soon.
