Lately, I have been a little on edge. I have been grumpy and snappy, but now I feel better.
One reason is that I decided to make the best of being the youth leader at our church rather than looking at the downside of that job. I am afraid we won't get any Catholic Youth, mainly because they've been ignored for so long. We have incredible support from the congregaton of the church though, and maybe we can pull it off!
Another reason for my new attitude is that, like the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, the Drama Teacher never stays more than one year. There is hope for drama next year!
After numerous break-downs in the field, we finally repaired all the equipment that was out of comission. Memorable moments from those:
1. When the grain truck fell off the blocks that was holding it up while I was under it. It scared me half to death!
2. Pulling the combine out of a sinkhole with the tractor. My dad managed to drive straight into the mud.
3. Crawling on the straw walkers and unplugging the beater.
(Too hard to explain on the internet, hard on the knees, though)
4. The icing on the cake? The wheel on the combine fell off in the middle of the field!
Hey Mrs. Wiens! If you were here, leave the price of your mustang!

I'm Back!
It has been the most busy last month of my life. We have been combining non-stop for over a month, and now we are down to only eight quarters. I am so excited! The only thing that stopped us is the rain! I am not happy about that, although it gives me a chance to finally update this blog.
Risk has not started yet, but I hope it will soon. Also, I now realize that pie-ing Mrs. Saeloff didn't accomplish anything, we still won't have a play. I am really frustrated about that, but I am learning to live with it.
Right now I am on a wild rampage trying to write a book. I am having mixed success, and I have some days where my writing is sub-par and other days where my writing is exceptional. I am currently working on a backround story for a series of novels set in a futuristic galaxy. It is so much fun inventing things like dark energy and conceiving ideas for galactic events and politics, not to mention epic battles and intrigue as desperate people go to all ends to save what they believe in. I am trying to get away from "This side is good guys, this side is bad guys" and really blur the line between good and evil. There is not ever in reality a difinative line if you are doing what you believe is right. It will be up to the reader to decide which side to support!
I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving, I know I will!
