Crazy and Calm

It has been an interesting time for me. Lots of things are going on right now. The weather is getting colder, not badly, but fall is most definitely here. The Fall Festival we have having at the square is this Saturday and I am working a shift in a booth to help raise money for my high school class. Mom and I got blue spray for my hair...I intend to put it to good use for the booth. Show how badly we poor (literally) crazy little ones need to find new medications... on the other hand, I could end up putting ward mates in padded cells and straight jackets (if they don't have one already) and scaring people away from the booth....hmmm....

At the same time, I have to deal with high school on a regular basis. The teachers are doing their best, but class is dreadfully boring...I am counting down to the release time from the moment I step in there. The food is like nuclear waste with cardboard on most days. I want out, what I won't do for a way out.

Tristin went out of town for a while, so I was asked to take care of his dog while he was away. Abbey is a sweetheart, and I love her, even though I normally hate dogs. She was so happy to see me when I came by to see her today. I had left her outside all day as per Tristin's instructions, but she must know how to escape the chain...I walked up to the house, after being released from school and she comes running to the front yard to greet me. After last night's fight to get her in the house, while leaving the ball outside, I wasn't surprised to see she had the ball in her mouth again. I played with her and petted her until I had to leave, poor Abbey, I felt so bad leaving her chained up outside :(. Good thing her owners are back. :)

I still spend any free time I have talking to Aric. He texed me earlier saying he would be back in a bit because "Dinner is being obstinate" I had the image of Aric chasing a chicken around the kitchen, trying to get it into the cooking pot. I don't even know if that's what he is eating, whatever it is, it appears to still be alive.

I might be busy, but I still have time to unwind. I have one of my favorite books, oranges, a cat on my bed and a family who loves me...now I just need to print off that Bible Study worksheet...

Weekend

There is no better feeling than sleeping in on Saturday morning. Cozy bed and finding you have a book to read on the nightstand. (Yes, Tristin, I'm reading it) It gets better in the winter, when the rest of the room is cold and the bed is toasty warm. You can stay in there all you want and there is no reason to get up. The weekends are awesome.

Tristin came over last night, we met at the school and went to our favorite chocolate store. We talked about our plans for Halloween a bit and the fall festival out town does every year. Back at the house, we hung out in my room and goofed around. Tristin gave me some advice for one of my stories (which was very useful) and then we played with dragon toys and threw little egg and rabbit launcher thingys at each other. Later we ate pizza and watched "The Iron Giant" then got on my computer afterwards. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to hang out with Aric and Tristin next weekend! :)
