  • Monday Movies and Delicious Donuts

    So today I spent a good part of the morning watching Sonic X. I watched it for a few hours. My sister gave me a coupon for a 64 cent roast beef sandwich. Today is Arby’s birthday, so they gave people coupons to print out for the 64 cent roast beef sandwiches. My sister and I decided we were going to get ours right away, so we headed over to Arby’s.

    I had just eaten a mango flavored ice cream bar before. I would normally have gotten a shake, but since I ate that ice cream bar I didn’t feel like it. I got the 64 cent sandwich, curly fries, a cherry turnover, and a Dr. Pepper. I never eat out, so it is always nice on the rare occasion that I do. I really enjoyed my food a lot, and even though i know it was a bit silly of me, I did take a picture. I am trying to get pictures of my day more for my blog.

    After my sister and I were done and put our stuff in the trash, we went back home. I watched more Sonic X for a while, but then I started playing tetris with some of my family members on Tetris battle and I had to turn if off because I wasn't really watching it and I didn’t want to waste the bandwidth.

    So, we played tetris for about 20 minutes I think. My sister went and got my nieces from their summer program, so my dad and my other sister and I were playing.  After my sister came back home I had to leave right after for my appointment with Vocational Rehab.

    The vocational Rehab center is a government building I go to every once in a while. I have a councilor, and she helps me get the stuff I need in order to get through school, or get a job, or both. right now I am just focusing on school, so I talked to her about my tuition, books, and sowed her my grades from last semester which were all A’s.

    Vocational rehab is a service for visually impaired and other people that have disabilities and need jobs. They help us get jobs and / or get ready for jobs. They are paying for my school and they even gave me a laptop last year in order to help me, and they do a lot of other stuff for me too. They are a huge help.  I talked to my councilor today and we did that stuff, and she gave me a number for these people that are even going to get me a new white cane, and a new monocular, and possibly a new magnifying glass as well since I lost my other one.

    After I was done with my appointment we left, and it was actually raining pretty hard outside. I thought it felt really nice. We ran to the car (my dad and I), and we went back home. The rain stopped by the time we were back, I was kind of disappointed.

    I watched more Sonic X before I went to FHE (family home evening, or in this case ward family home evening).

    At FHE we met at the church and set up tables in the gym / cultural hall. We colored songbook pages for people in Africa. It had to be pretty specific on the way we colored the pictures. There was an example page that showed what the colors had to be. I colored some turtles. If it was up to me I probably would have used really weird colors.REBELLION FOREVER!!!! (haha)

    we kind of used the need for uniform colors as a joke. During my time there we talked about many things. Movies we liked and what kind of stuffed animals we collected were among the most interesting subjects. Someone said something about collecting koalas, I heard something about monkeys, and the person next to me collects Cows. As for me it is ducks. As some of you know I LOVE ducks.  I actually showed some pictures with the person that was sitting next to me.

    I stopped after the first page because I was really hot and my hand was cramping.
    I just sat there for a while and listened to people talk.  Other people were coloring stuff like suns, stars, balloons, frogs, cats and other stuff. We had donuts afterward and then went on our way.

    After I went home I got some popcorn, water, and orange, and my pink blanket and then headed to the weekly Flix For Charity event. This week they showed Horton Hears a Who. I love that movie and think it is really funny.  It got a little chilly, but I just partially wrapped my legs in the blanket and was fine. It was a clear, beautiful, breezy night and all the rain clouds have gone away.  I just got back from the movie like 10 minutes ago. I don’t think anything else is going to happen, so I’ll conclude here.

  • i didnt hear anything about today being arbys b-day.

    the 26th dq is doing special about donating to a childrens charity when you buy a blizzard.  

  • where do you get mango flavored ice cream bars?

    You must be an exceptional student to get all A's. Please focus on the school only. The job will come later. I am sorry you have a disability with your eyes. But seems like you are managing so well with the help of the family and your counselors.
    Where do you live that YOU GUYS had that awesome rain while we are begging for some in West Central Illinois?
    Love and hugs.

  • @ZSA_MD -  I get them from Costco. They come ith other flavors like pina colada, coconut, and if I remember correctly Strawberry. The brand is Michoacana. In fact, here is their website http://www.ytupaleta.com/

    I don't think I could do school AND work right now. I'm hoping I won't ever have to unless if I need to get some practical experience in the field I am going into like an internship or something. I wouldn't mind doing that.  My eye problems don't effect much surprisingly. I have grown up this way, so I have adapted. Surprisingly enough I don't even wear glasses.

    And, I live in Utah, we haven't had much rain, but the little we do have is a big huge help to us.

  • @buddy71 -  It was probably just the one over here. It was probably a local Arby's birthday, but i'm not sure. :)

  • Props for Vocational Rehabilitation! Society is making a good investment by sending you to school.

    That's a  good shot of your Arby's meal. I like the colors and arrangement.

    Odd that somebody with a visual impairment would be such a good photographer.
