Main Street Market

I learned something today: never go to the movie theater hungry- if you are me. I don't really like popcorn, especially movie theater popcorn, but tonight when I went to the movies and I was hungry after a late lunch but no dinner, I decided to get popcorn. Somehow that seemed a little more like a meal than the chocolate covered gummy bears I had smuggled in. It's been almost 5 hours since I ate the popcorn and my stomach still hurts! Lesson learned!

Stacie and I saw "The House Bunny" this evening. It was cute, some parts were REALLY dumb, others were REALLY strange, but most of it was funny- exactly as I expected. We were supposed to go to the movies earlier in the day but somehow I read the time wrong online and thought the movie started 30 minutes later than it actually did. Oops!

Stacie, Kathleen and I planned to recruit off of Main Street today, but Kathleen wasn't feeling well so she decided to stay home and rest. When Stacie and I got to Main St. we found that there was a street market going on with TONS of jewelry and other goodies. Along with the shopping there were bands, puppet shows, dancers and different kinds of food, such as Maine lobsters which were marketed as "Wicked good" and rightfully so! The guy working there was nice and originally from Portland so we chatted about Maine for a while. It was a beautiful day so we strolled around and took in the scene of this weekly Park City tradition. We saw our friends Andrea and Jackson- who you'll remember from my last post. She sold us some really cool scarves and gave us a couple of charms from Israel. She's really nice and fun to talk to! We were looking at all of the jewelry and nothing was really catching my eye until we came to one tent with tons of sterling silver pieces with gorgeous stones and unique designs. I couldn't decide between 2 different rings so the guy said that if I bought both he'd give me 10% off! I couldn't pass up the deal and figured it was meant to be- these rings are one of a kind and beautiful as you can see in the picture I've included! I also found out that my landlord's husband, Hernan, is an artist and sells his pieces at the market! They are interesting and really cool, I'll try to describe them: they are paintings in pretty frames but then there are objects stuck on some of them so they are 3-D. I know my description makes the artwork sound really lame, but it's not! Hernan is always working in his garage but until today I never knew what he was working on. When I saw him tonight as I was going out he told me that he sold 3 pieces today and made a little extra money for the vacation they are taking starting tomorrow. I wish I could remember where they are going, but at the moment it escapes me... Anyway, I won't really see them again, but hopefully Bula will be around! I'll miss him when I move! Paola and Hernan have both been so nice and friendly to me as well!

Last night I finally got to meet Laura Lee! She is very nice and I think she'll make a great roommate. She is older than me, but I don't mind. She is still a little nervous about her kitties, Pixel and Sweet Pea, getting along with another cat, but Belami has already met and lived with a lot of other cats in the first 10 months of his life so I'm not worried about him adjusting to new roommates! I can't wait for him to have some company! I think they'll be fine- keep your fingers crossed!!

Sorry (once again) for not writing the past few days. I have long work days lately and the happenings are just not terribly intriguing. We are basically done with hiring so this week we have A LOT of planning and organizing to take care of in order to ensure a smooth opening. I can't wait for the store to open- I'm tired of recruiting.

I'll try to find things to blog about, and I promise I'll TRY to be more consistent with this!
