The whole world is at sixes and sevens...

...and why the house hasn't fallen down around our ears years ago is beyond me!
Gotta love a little bit of Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of our Teeth" every now and again. :) Definitely my favorite play.

Anyway, so I had a busy and kind of crazy rest of the week. Wednesday evening I went to a job fair workshop that was pretty pointless. They didn't really tell me anything that I didn't already know. Nic and I ended up being pretty late to Cissna church because I didn't get done with that until almost 7ish. Cissna was fun! There was a pretty small group of U of I people there, but it was good to hang out with Mike and Joanna and the rest of the Kaeb's. :)

Thursday I went to the job fair, and talked to all Ag companies- I didn't really think about it until later. :) I got a pretty sweet free Pioneer hat that I'm not allowed to wear at home. :) And a free t-shirt from ADM. And I got to wear my new charcoal grey suit out in the freezing cold.

Friday night I went to singing at the home in W-ton. It was a pretty good night- lots of the residents were out of their rooms to listen to us. One old couple who have been married for 70yrs and knew all the words to every song, told us how they had stayed married so long- "because he always did what I told him to do." So cute and so funny!

Saturday morning, bright and early, I went to Jakey's state CC race. They did pretty good, the team didn't place, but he got his best time at Detweiler. I was pretty excited to see Kaitlyn Bastert run- she won the girls race by 50 seconds, and made it look effortless! Second place was from Eureka- woot! Abs came over in the evening and we watched the long version of "Pride and Prejudice." It was great.

So now I'm back at school again- mur. This semester is going sooo fast.

I can't go to the neighbors, I'd die on the way, you know I would! It's worse than January. The dogs are sticking to the sidewalks. I'd die.
