Target, Tow Trucks and Tires

This weekend was a little crazy! First off I got a call from my good friend Betsy. She and her husband Kyle had a baby on Thursday. Brooklynn Kate Dixon weighing in at 8lbs 6oz and 20 inches long. Isn't she cute!

All night last night it snowed. This morning I took around 3 inches off my car. But no worries it isn't sticking yet! I was super excited because in Montrose today was the Grand Opening of Target. I also had some things to pick up for work so I decided to make the drive out there. It all started out great, I went to Starbucks, Home Depot, then Target! When I got to Target I found a pretty cute collar and leash for Murphy in the dollar section. When I got done I went out to my car and remembered that I had a coupon that I forgot to use. I went back in and confused the whole store but got my $5 back. Then I went to the pharmacy and got a free goody bag from them. A whole bag of free stuff....lotion, band aids, a razor, shampoo....it was great!
On my way out to Montrose I noticed my tire was making a weird noise. I figured while I was at Walmart I would have them look at it, well I decided it would be fine and to drive home. Turns out that it wasn't fine! About 5 minutes outside of Montrose the tire popped. Good thing I have AAA cause otherwise I would have had to change the tire myself! They sent out Dave and the tow truck and he dropped me off at Walmart. I could hardly understand what Dave said cause the wad of chew in his mouth was so big I could almost see it! I then had around a 2 to 3 hour wait and $72 later I have a brand new tire and the 3 old ones! I guess there was a hole on the wall of the actual tire.

It's a pretty bad picture but here's my car being towed away to Walmart.

On my way home I stopped by my work and chatted with my boss about being broke and needing another job or a cheaper place to live. She called her old chef Angie and got me a job at Cosmos in town as the assistant pastry chef. I start Saturday at 6am and will be working Saturday and Sunday every weekend. My Mom comes to visit next weekend....I am pretty excited. Also my friend Molly from school is coming right after Mom leaves. So it should make for a pretty good 2 weeks!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

After working a 9 day week I finally got my 2 days off! I was pretty tired yesterday, although I couldn't go home and relax because I lost my cell phone! I have never understood how people loose there phones. I understand a little better now. Somewhere between Lawson Hill (work) and Mountain Village (home) I lost it. Now keep in mind that the drive from Lawson Hill to Mountain village is maybe 4-5 minutes. I called Molly in my car on the way and stopped to get the mail. I got out of the car one time! I searched everywhere and then I drove back to work and called it. Thankfully someone answered....I was really hoping that the person who found it was a young cute guy. Maybe when we met up for him to return the phone to me, we would fall instintley in love and live happily ever after. Well, since I don't live in a movie it turned out to be a nice woman who drives the public trans bus. She told me she tried to call a few of my friends but no one answered. I was kinda scared she was calling random people on my contact list. Half of my contact list I don't actually talk to. But, thankfully she called my most recent calls...Molly, My sister and I think Sandra. So no worries folks I got my phone back!
Today I drove out to Montrose...for the Starbucks and to do a little grocery shopping. When I got back it started Snowing! It's not snowing hard but I hear it's suppose to Tomorrow (Sunday). I realize I chose to live on top of a mountain in a ski town....but I hate snow! It won't stick yet but still.
I am pretty sure I am going to find another job on top of the job I have now. Mainly cause I am broke and a little bored. I talked with someone the other day about a job if the person they hired doesn't work out. So, I am hoping that this girl doesn't work out...I know it's mean but I would like to have that job. I would be the assistant Pastry chef for a restuarant in town. I would also only work 2 days a week and cover for the pastry chef when they go out of town. So, cross your fingers!
Well, I should go and I need to finish a movie!
