Isn't he handsome?

Today Murphy and I made the trip to Grand Junction so he could get a hair cut and bath. I was a little worried about it but it turned out ok. The lady giving him the hair cut gave him a schnauzer cut and it was a little short but I like it now. It took them 3 hours, so I went window shopping and had lunch at Red Robin. I spent some time at the Starbucks where the guy made my drink wrong. I asked him to shake it in the shaker and he poured it in the cup and swirled it. I was like really....there was no one in Starbucks at the time and he couldn't even shake up my tea. I was disappointed but I drank it anyway.
Murphy and I did have fun walking around Petsmart today. Everyone thought he was pretty cute. Here are some pictures of the new hair cut.

Murphy "Bun" Schlarbaum

Yesterday when I was working at Farmer's Market the Humane Society was there and they usually bring like 2 or 3 dogs and a couple of cats. As I was working I looked over and saw the cutest dog EVER!!! Between my boss and the candle people (they sell candles in the booth next to us) trying to convince me I finally decided that I needed to adopt him. So, I filled out the paper work and he was mine! I wasn't able to pick him up till today because I needed to get him a bed and some food.
So, today I drove out to Montrose, picked up some dog stuff and my new dog!
He is 10 years old and named Murphy but I have been calling him Bun. They weren't too sure what breed he is, I guess his owner was calling him a Schnauzer (SP?). They said that he was kinda ditched at someones house and they didn't want him. The ladies told me that he could loose 5 or so pounds but I figure so could I, so I won't judge! They were all sad to see him go, he is a very mellow nice dog!

Dad and Uncle Bob

I got off work early today and thought I would drive out to Starbucks....I haven't been there in 2 weeks! Since Dad and Uncle Bob came out to visit I wasn't able to make the trip to Montrose. Although I was really excited to get the furniture they brought, it makes my apartment a lot more cozy! When they got here they were joking around saying that they had no problems breathing....but they weren't saying that when they got to my apartment. We had to take a few breaks when unloading the truck but we did get the whole truck unloaded! I was pretty shocked....it took me like 3 days to unload my car when I got here. Even though I had to work while they were here we all had a good time. We went out to dinner a few nights and one day we went Mountain biking. The mountain biking trail was a little steep in some spots but it was pretty fun. I was a little nervous because if I break my arm I am out of a job! But I didn't fall off my bike!
Dad was really impressed with the Gondola....Uncle Bob was a little nervous at first but I think he liked it.
I had one wedding cake this weekend...we had some major fondant problems and in the end it looked OK from a distant....up close it was a mess! But my boss tells me that they loved it! I can't imagine how....but oh well!
We also went to Mesa Verde...it was interesting but really hot! Our tour guide was nice but her story telling got a little annoying. I just wanted to hear about the Indians...I didn't need her trying to reenact it. They also don't tell you that once you get to Mesa Verde that you still have like another hour drive to get to the visitor center and then another half hour to the site. So, it was a lot of driving but we got some good pictures!
Work is fine, I am done with wedding cakes for the summer. I am kinda glad about that, after the last wedding cake I was kinda done! I still have Dorsey's wedding cake but that is in Oregon....and if I use fondant I am buying it!

Wedding cakes and Bob Dylan!

Nothing to exciting has gone on since I last blogged. I got to go to the Bob Dylan concert. I wasn't sure how that was going to go. The only time I have ever listened to Bob Dylan was when I was working at Starbucks and even then I would change the music to Bob Marley or something else a little more fun and up beat! But We got to the concert set up our tent and were so busy that we sold out of most of our stuff before Bob even hit the stage! The concert was pretty fun...he puts on a good show!
Yesterday I took the day off to get my Driver's license change from Oregon to Colorado. I guess in Colorado in order to sign a lease you have to have a Colorado license. I was a little sad to give up the Oregon one. Everytime I would go to a new bar or anywhere they check I.D's the bouncers would always question the Oregon license because they look fake! When I got there I was told that because I was from Oregon I had to have my birth certifacate or a passport to change the license. Luckily I have both here with me in Colorado....Sadly I didn't have either with me yesterday in Montrose where I was doing all this.
I am pretty excited for next week, my Dad and Uncle Bob are coming out to visit and bring me furniture! I have been sitting in a camping chair for the last 2 months! I am excited for the couch and recliner they are bringing. I am not sure what we are going to do while they are here. Most of the activities out here in the summer are more for the extreme sports guys...rock climbing, mountain biking....so I thought maybe we would go for some hikes and I woudl check out how much it costs to go white water rafting. They are driving so please if you could keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they drive out here on Tuesday.
While I was in Montrose I got my pictures back of the 3 wedding cakes I have done this summer. So, here are the pictures of those.
