Don’t worry - I didn’t fall off the edge of the world
May 19, 2007
Things have just been hectic for me lately. I know - nearly 3 days without me blogging does cause concern in all the 2 millions of readers I have.
Thursday I was so busy I couldn’t even think properly. KIAB, Nesha and I all had to go to a local high school to recruit volunteers. I know it was on my schedule for nearly a week but KIAB had told me on Tuesday that we couldn’t visit any schools without the boards permission, which we don’t have yet. So I thought all appointments I had made were canceled until further notice. The school we went to though was okay with us not having board permission as they know us and our organization - one of the members goes there as well as several of our volunteers. Nifty goes there, so I was hopping to see him while we were recruiting volunteers. I didn’t because he went out for lunch with his friends and had no idea I was in the building, so that was sort of disappointing but not so much as I hung out with him Thursday night.
We recruited a total of 5 people from that high school. Only like 2 looked really promising. One girl signed up who I am pretty positive has some sort of delay as she loudly pointed at Nesha and asked if she was pregnant and normally people don’t do that. Plus it was in her facial characteristics, but Bossman said she could volunteer…even though at the last youth fair I went to with him he told me people with mental delays couldn’t as its unfair to the members who also have mental delays and have to pay. So I’m confused but if Bossman said it was okay I’m not going to tell her no. Then during the afternoon I went swimming with Day Program, and luckily the creepy lifeguard wasn’t there so I didn’t get hit on. Not even two minutes after I got back, I had to sit in on a menu planning meeting.
Thursday night Nifty and I took his younger sisters to McDonalds and then watched Greys Anatomy after everyone but his mom left for the trailer. Greys has gone down hill - I can’t believe that pretty much everyone broke up in that episode. If you don’t follow the show then I won’t bore you with the details, but I am so sick of TV and how everyone has to cheat and get divorces and break up. It’s stupid.
Friday morning went to another board room meeting where Bossman, Nesha, KIAB and I planned the first two Wilderness Weekend menus and activities. I’m hoping the weekends will be more fun the last year, as we didn’t do anything last year and we actually have activities planned. Plus we’ll be having something different every weekend, that way the volunteers won’t get bored.
And during the evening it was Kyla’s birthday party. I did have a couple Sour Puss shots and tried the Guinness my friends Kiki and Feenbag gave me before they left, but I didn’t like the Guinness so didn’t like it. Sour Puss Raspberry shots are good because it tastes like sour raspberry candy, mmm good. I didn’t get drunk though, so don’t worry.
Then today I went to the mall with Mom. I bought a new skirt, peddle pushers, 3 new tanks and a beach bag. Mom got two tanks and we both got our eyebrows done - now I have two! After that we went to Denny’s for dinner, and Nifty was working so we didn’t get our food spit on or anything. He couldn’t come out and say hi which sucked but he will be picking me up around 1am today to go to his trailer for the rest of the weekend!! I’m excited. After dinner, Mom and I just had to stop at Wal-Mart. Really, we should never stop at Wal-Mart. All we do is spend money. I am dreading the day when a Wal-Mart is built in a closer town - it’s in the early stages of development now. Finally, we left Wal-Mart around 8:30 with our hands full of new bras. I hate bras, and the stupid under wire that always breaks after a couple of washings. At least Zellers bras do anyway.
So thus concludes those 3 days I have missed informing you all about. No more birthday presents for me now, as Mom has been kind enough to buy me so much in the past couple of months. Its okay, I’m not expecting anything anyway. I already have more then enough!
Now I’m going to kill those 3 hours until Nifty picks me up by reading all my favourite blogs and hopefully commenting them - depending on how generous my dial up connection is tonight.

I had never heard the term “delay” used before in that context, and it took me a minute to figure out that you were talking about someone with mental retardation, right? Must be a weird Canadian thing. :)]]>
