Does it look like wood?

I found $5! Woohoo!

On friday when I was at work I ran outside to make a phone call to a call center to start with changing my address. While I was talking on the phone I looked down and found five dollars! I was so excited that I kind of screamed a bit on the phone and the guy on the other end was very confused, so I told him what happened and he didn't seem as excited as me. It mad me a little sad.
This weekend was the Bluegrass Festival, (one of the biggest festivals in Telluride) it draws in a ton of people and they won't let you drive into town unless you have a pass. I don't have a pass, so I had to ride the gondola if I wanted to go into town. Driving into town is much faster and you don't have to share your car with anyone! Half way through the gondola trip into town my flip flops broke! I wasn't to upset over the flip flops because they were Old Navy and 2 years old, it was just that I thought I was going to have to go barefoot. No worries they held up as best they could untill I got home!
On Saturday I decided to go to Montrose for the last time. I needed to get my oil changed and grab some food. I got to Walmart and it took them 20 mins before they got my information! it was very frustrating and then after they got my info I had another 2 hours to wait till my car was done. No worries the woman helping me said if I get tired of waiting then tell her and she would cancel the oil change and I could leave. Yeah, cause I am going to wait and hour and then cancel everything!

The free box

This weekend was fairly uneventful, on Saturday I had a wedding cake to deliver. It was huge, 5 tiers each tier was 4 inches tall. The cake was yellow with Lemon curd, the decoration was by far the easiest I have ever done.
On Sunday I took all the stuff I was getting rid of down to the free box in town. those of you who don't know what the free box is, it is a box that you can drop your stuff off at and you can take whatever is in the box. There is one in town and one in my apartment complex. It's kinda like a free garage sale. I don't usually go to the free box because I don't need other people's junk. But, yesterday I decided to take my stuff down there and was swarmed by a family. They were literally taking things out of my hands.
Last night was the start of the summer concerts in the Village. My friend/bartender is the fiddle player in the bluegrass band that was playing. It was such a nice a day that I had to go out for awhile.
Here is a couple of pictures of my cake from this last weekend.

The one with Ross's sandwhich

The other day I was looking to see what I had for food in the freezer, I found the last container of Thanksgiving dinner that my Mom had made me. Since I decided to eat all the food in the Kitchen before I leave, I thought lets make a turkey sandwich! So I went to the store and bought cranberries and some cream cheese. When I came home I defrosted everything and built my sandwich. I would have to say that this sandwich was even better then the ultimate sandwich 2008 that I made a few months ago. I grilled up my bread and put cream cheese and both sides and one side got cranberries and turkey, the other side got stuffing, the best part was I had soaked another piece of bread in some gravy (some might call it a "moist maker"). That third piece of bread went smack in the middle. I got the idea of the "Moist Maker from the show Friends. Apparently Monica makes a great turkey sandwich with a moist maker in it and someone steals the sandwich out of the fridge at Ross's work. To quote Ross "Somebody stole the only thing good going on in my life!" Seriously you should make this sandwich, it is Delicious!

One Year!

I did it! I have successfully lived in Telluride for 1 year! I only have a month or so left here. I keep making lists of things I need to do before I leave, what I need to get rid of, what kind of music I want to listen to on my drive. I love a list! I am pretty excited to live in a city, I can't wait to eat sushi or order pizza or Chinese food, I don't think they deliver Chinese food in Portland...although they should!
I got rid of my bed and desk, my friend is trying to find a truck to move my couch and chair. For now I am sleeping on my aero bed, there is a hole somewhere but I can't find it. It is a queen sized bed that stands a good 2 feet off the ground and has a motor in it, so i can't just submerge it in water and find the whole. I bought patches yesterday and a spray bottle to help find it...no such luck! It's OK, it doesn't deflate all the way!

My favorite person of the day is...

Dave my apartment manager and neighbor! This morning I went in to talk to him about breaking my lease and because of the mold in my apartment I am free of my lease! Hooray! So, it's really official now...I am leaving Telluride July 11Th. I should be in Portland on either the evening of the 13Th or the 14Th. On top of that great news, my carpet is no longer wet and I have someone interested in buying my desk. Which means I will only have to get rid of my bed! Things are all working out!
