So it's been a while. My apologies to my readers. But you two have had other things going on, so it's ok. It's summer. :)
Well I'm officially done with classes tomorrow at 4-ish. I was going to take another summer class starting Monday and going for two weeks, every day, from 1 to 5. But since I'm going to Jill's wedding and will be missing two days of classes, they want me to take it next spring. Which is fine and frustrating. If I would have known they would be that stupid about it, I would have taken another class this current term that I'm just finishing. However, next spring will not be bad to take it, I have room in my schedule for it, and this way I have a month off before school. So that's kind of exciting. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but hopefully I'll keep busy. So I'm smiling about it.
Other than that, no news. My cousin is getting married on Saturday and then Jill next weekend, so I'm looking for a new dress for these occasions. It's not workin out. They don't make dresses for me to wear to weddings at the present time. Well, nobody in the mall or in Target or Gordman's makes them. So I'll have to check Old Navy, TJ Max, and Wall Mart Thursday. It's looking grim. Oh well. *big fat sigh*
Nothing else exciting. Got to go to Metigoshe this weekend and see Nathan and Kristen and Tennille at the camp/lake. It was fun. I like those people. We stayed up late and talked and it was so good to be with friends. OH OH OH and there is the COOLEST place EVER that we were introduced to up there. It's called "Mystical Horizons" and it is this place that has a HUGE sundial, a looking tube thing that's trained on the North Star, and these really cool pillars that show the equinox's. I'll try to explain. For each equinox (spring and fall share), there are two pillars side by side with a 1 1/2 foot space between them. These pillars are about 10 or 12 feet tall, and kinda flat (the face is like 5 feet, and they're about a foot wide on the sides). Ok, so when it's an equinox, as the sun sets, it follows the path of the top shape of the pillar (different according to how the sun sets) and then it shines through the space between the pillars as it goes down below the horizon. As it shines through the pillars, there is another wall about 10 feet away that has another slit in it. This slit is considerably smaller, maybe 6 or 8 inches. Well, the sun shining through these pillars and slits, makes it shine on this little softball sized circle on the ground. So if you are watching the sun set on the spring, summer, fall, or winter equinox, you can see it shine through these slits and on a spot on the ground. It's really hard to explain, but it is SUPER cool. The best part about it was that it is right on the west side of the Turtle Mountains (big hills in northern ND) where it opens up onto the prairie. It is the most gorgeous place I have ever been. If I could live there, I would be the happiest woman alive. I have found my home, and that is it. I belong there. It is a very happy place. But unless we get rich and I do some serious convincing to build a house there, it's never going to happen. But I have found my lifelong dream. I think I'll give it a name. But not Mystical Horizons. That'd be a little strange.

Sounds very cool. Summer classes... bah. (I don't even know what that means.) I'm glad you posted again. I was getting worried.
Also, yeah. I have the hardest time buying clothes when I'm in the fat place. Because I have a hard time going up to the next size, so everything I try on is too tight so I won't buy it. Also, nothing looks as good on me. So basically I end up trying to squeeze into my old clothes even though something new in my correct size would look tremendously better. Sometimes it sucks to be a woman.
You perfectly described my situation. Well said. I did finally break down earlier this summer and buy some clothes that actually fit me in the next size up. You can't imagine the liberation when I wear my new 5 pieces of clothing. I feel great in them. Even skinny. It's amazing what properly fitting clothes can do to the self image. Now if I only had a money tree....or a money closet. All my old clothes should morph into money....
That would be helpful. (The money clothes) It's too bad I like some of my old clothes...

I'm glad to see that graduate school has not swallowed you and kept you from life outside. The mere hope of finding a magical place helps keeps me sane these days.
It's too bad that in Indiana the only "magical" places are little stores that sell trick cards and disappearing ink.
Tell Justin hello. Tell me about your studies sometime. Keep me on your mind.
Michael.
