The mysterious land of Shakopee.

We live in a strange town when it comes to weather.  I’ve lost count the number of times a storm system will just miraculously disappear right when it gets to Shakopee.   Sometimes even reappearing just on the other side again!  I would say it was linked to the atmosphere of the cities and somehow keeping the air warmer or cooler or something like that, but it can’t be, b/c the same thing does not apply to the cities.  Truly it’s only the heart of Shakopee.  I sometimes find it disappointing.  Like tonight we were supposed to get hammered with rain.  But, like usual, a bubble of protection popped up around us and the rain missed us.  Odd.

In other exciting news, I get to see my sister in just 5 days!  I’m super stoked about it.  🙂  I was just trying to recall the last time she was here during the summer and I think it was 5 years ago for my surprise Birthday party.  Wow time sure does fly!

And in other randomness, I’m on the hunt for shorts.  I’ve hit a point where all of my old clothes look “too young” (aka too short) and everything I wore last year is too big and the year before that I was pregnant (and REALLY big)… And then you throw in the fact that I have thick strong legs and everything in the store is either too short or too long… it’s a recipe for never finding a pair of shorts.  I tried some on tonight and I’m also inbetween sizes.  So the one is too big and the other is too small.  And I just can’t bring myself to buy a pair that I know is already too big or that I can’t wear yet b/c it’s too tight.  You see my dilemma?  Yeah.  So I guess the only solution is to just loose a little more weight and I’ll be comfortably in the next size.  🙂

Or maybe the solution is to just wear tye-dye dresses for the rest of my life.  😉
