I'm gonna take my chances, takin a chance I might find what I'm looking for

So I know you all have been waiting less than patiently on the edge of your seats to hear what new things are coming in my life since last time you heard from me . . .
So let's see.
I made cookies today and I HATE baking here!!! It's so frustrating. I love to bake but nothing turns out as well here cause it's so hard to figure out how to adjust for altitude. I left out a half cup of the flour cause it's so much drier here and they say to add 2-3 tbsp more of liquids but like what? Which liquid should I add more of? And then you're supposed to like use a different temperature in the oven - like 20 or so degrees higher. Anyways it's rather frustrating and I get so upset when things don't turn out well. We did make an interesting dinner thing though - it was called I think Hot Dogs Azteca. It was like tortillas with chili and cheese and hot dogs rolled up in them and then cooked in the oven so the tortilla gets crisp. They were actually really pretty good. We had all these hot dogs left over from tailgating last weekend and had to use them somehow!
I'm not in a fight with Halleh anymore. I know you all were greatly concerned. I got my newsletter on Monday so I guess it's possible that it was just the mail system and not Halleh torturing me. But I have to be honest, I still have my eye on her.
So volunteering last night was crazy! There were like 3 of us watching 11 kids which isn't a bad ratio but there are like 2 almost two year olds, 3 two year olds, 4 four year olds, 1 eight year old, and 1 nine year old. These kids were all screaming! And the 4 year olds all ask younger cause like one is mentally delayed, one is being raised by a mentally handicapped mom, and one has two younger brothers and just acts little. So it's like there are like 8 two year olds!
And oh yeah. I have a full time job. I don't know if I want it or not, but I have it. There are a lot of pros and cons to it but I won't bore you. So if you want more details you'll have to let me know.
OK I would write more but I'm interested to see the pictures Elizabeth added to Facebook so I'm ending here instead!
