Aerosystems and Wedding Corsets

SPIRIT AEROSYSTEMS
Jake and I just got back from Wichita, Kansas! True to the stereotypes, Kansas is FLAT! We interviewed with Spirit Aerosystems ... the interviews were okay, Jake and his interviewer watched TV in the cafeteria for an hour, while mine kept prefacing his questions about my goals with "there is a correct answer."

The area was nice, the people were friendly, but every time we asked folks what they like to do in their spare time, we got two responses: 1: blank stare 2: drive 2-3 hours north/south/east/west... so we're thinking that Wichita, though it is the "Air Capital of the World" may not have much else to do.

WEDDING CORSETS
I went to the wedding dress store with my friend Katie yesterday to help her pick a veil. She had bought a corset for her dress and wanted to try the ensemble together. Unfortunately the corset made the dress fit really tight - I had to have the store lady help me zip her up. She stood in front of a huge mirror while I tried different veils with her dress. She told me she was feeling hot in there and she didn't want to sweat in her dress, so we should finish soon. Then she started to feel nauseous. All of the sudden her eyes glazed over and she started to fall backwards off her stool!!! I was in front of her and grabbed her the best I could, I broke her fall so she landed on her butt then laid down - she was mumbling and still out of it for a few more seconds before she came to. I turned her over and unzipped the dress - and undid the corset! It was just like 1800s! We came to the conclusion that she should return the corset, and when she tried the dress on without it, no one could tell a difference..... oh the things we do for beauty.
