Be Excited!

So, I think I may have internet again! I don't want to get too excited but my neighbor may have gotten his internet back!
I did end up having somewhere to go for Thanksgiving...my friend Kristen (that's right I have friends!)invited me to her friends house for dinner. There were 13 of us and we had a deep fried turkey and roasted turkey and a ham! It was all very good! The people who hosted it were really nice. At one point in the evening the wife told me and Kristin all about the affair she had and all of there problems! I felt like saying "Wow, I really didn't need to know that!"
The next day Kristen and I went to Montrose where I bought a 3 foot fake christmas tree. I decided that since I am not going home or anywhere else for Christmas I needed a christmas tree. I have a few ornaments here in Colorado but I decided that I needed more so I bought a little box of them, along with lights. Kristen told me that 25 lights would be enough but I thought 25 doesn't say Christmas spirit....100 does! I also got some long sleeve shirts and a few sweaters....turns out I only have tank tops and t-shirts.
On friday we finally got some snow but only like a foot. We definitely need more! You should all be happy to know that my new studded snow tires work! Good thing we didn't listen to the toothless Walmart girl....she said I didn't need studs. I wouldn't have made it to work without them or anywhere else!
Well, both jobs are going fine. Turns out that the Restuarant loves me!! But really...who wouldn't?

I am now a snowboarder!

So, yesterday was the Ski Swap. I volunteered for the evening and in the middle of the evening we got to go shopping for an hour or so. Then they stationed me in the Ski and Snowboard area where my job was to take tags off of the equipment. My friend Eric from work volunteered also so he helped pick out a snowboard for me. I got everything for such a good deal. I got a snowboard, Boots, Bindings, gloves, a jacket, long underwear, and a helmet for around $400. The snowboard we thought was brand new but now that I look closer it has been used but not a lot. It's not the cutest board ever but I can always cover it with stickers or paint it, at least that's what one guy told me.
Work at Cosmo's is going well. We had sort of a bread fiasco last weekend. Turns out that not only did I under proof my Ciabatta I also baked it at too low of a temp. It was pretty white! But no worries...I have mastered the Ciabatta since then.
I still have no Internet...I am at the library using theirs. I found out that I was Hijacking my other neighbors (the not so creepy one)Internet. I guess it wasn't working for him so he turned it off. I would agree that it was pretty bad Internet, I mean it worked well enough for me but I wasn't paying for it!
Here are some pictures of my new Snowboard!

Creepy Creeperson has left the building!

It's been about 2 weeks or more since I last blogged. Since the last blog my Mom and my friend Molly came to visit! Mom got here just in time to ride the Gondola before it shut down for off season. I think we rode it all day! We really didn't do too much we did go to Montrose which is the equivalent of visiting Sherwood Oregon, but not that exciting. We got snow tires with studs for my car. Went grocery shopping and my Mom made me Thanksgiving dinner. I had to work most of the time she was here but we managed to have some fun!
Molly got here 2 days after Mom left and she just left yesterday. I was so excited to see her! She is one of my good friends from Culinary school and one of the only girlfriends I had there. We spent lots of time in town. We also followed the World Series although the Rockies should of just handed the Red Socks the trophy cause seriously there pitching was awful! Being a Coloradan ( I am not sure if that;s what we are called) I had to root for my home team! Lot of good that did! I was sad to see Molly go but glad to get my apartment back.
Last Sunday Molly and I were walking Murphy and talking with my neighbors when my creepy neighbor came over and told me once again to let my dog of his leash. He acts like I am abusing my dog by having him on a leash. He also is a little to eager...a little too interested in me. Creepy lives next door and I have now started walking down the opposite hallway just so I can avoid running into him. But last Sunday he informed me that he was moving!!! Hooray! The sad part of him moving is I may have been hijacking his Internet cause it;s I haven't gotten Internet for like 2 weeks!
Tomorrow is my first day by myself at Cosmo's ( my other job). I am kinda excited and also a little nervous. Excited cause when I get there I can fry myself up some Beignets for breakfast! MMMM....yum! If we didn't sell $2000 a night this last week, we will probably shut down for about 2 weeks until the season starts. We have already cut the prices of our Entrees down to $19 from the mid $20's. So, who knows if I will be working there next week.
Next weekend I will be volunteering at the Ski swap (large garage sell) so that I can get first pick on all the stuff. Hopefully with the help of Eric (the new guy at work) I can get myself all set with a snowboard, boots, Jacket and goggles! So, that I can be the coolest snowboard girl ever!
