*sigh*
I really am very happy right now, I just feel like a nice *sigh*. I'm a little confused about some things lately, but hopefully everything works out for the best. It generally does...or else I just assume that it all works out for the best without ever really knowing anything different.
Chicago was wonderful; the competition went as expected, and the workshop was great, and the everything-else part of it was fantastic! The Art Institute was really wonderful- we saw Renior, Monet, Manet, Picasso, Matisse, Degas, Van Gogh, etc., and the really big one with all the little dots, that I can never remember, the name of, or who painted it- but that one was cool too. We (Betso-the-I-like-to-lose-15-lbs-in-4-days-girl, my mom, and I) went out to eat with Job and Mary- and I had Blackened Catfish, and Taramisu for dessert, (why is it I always remember the food, if nothing else, on a trip?) and they were fabulously delicious, as I hadn't eaten a real meal in a couple of days. Sunday morning was a blast, despite the rain and cold wind from the lake (there's a reason its called the windy city!) We went shopping in all the right stores, and took pictures in one with crazy wigs, hats, and t-shirts! Then, we went for a walk in the park-like area by the lake, and took more pictures, and I've never been so glad to be away from Crox. The lake air was sooo fresh and crisp, and even though it was cold, it was more of a late-fall cold, than depressing winter cold. The train was fun, even though the ride back wasn't very comfy, as my seat wouldn't recline. It was fun hanging out with my dancer-friends though- we need more times like that, when we can get together and just hang out, rather than seeing each other at our worst (at dance) all the time.
Ummmm...but right, I think I'll go, and if I happen to spotaneously combust in my sleep, I love y'all, a whole lot, and I really don't think you're anorexic Betso ;) Tee hee. Muah!

I'm jealous of your late fall weather. I am done with winter. But I'm glad you had fun, and I'm glad you're back. Yey for you.
