New colors!

How's this coloring? Does everyone like it? Can you all read it? Let me know!

I found out something really interesting today when I visited the vet that I will be taking Belami to. I was just there to introduce myself and get a fax number to have all of his records sent to and I asked the woman about Frontline or something else to keep away fleas and ticks. Guess what she told me?! There are no fleas here! Seriously, they can't survive in dry climates or at high altitudes- and that just about sums up Park City! Speaking of it being dry.... my skin is so dry here! I thought it was just me but Stacie said she felt like her skin is really bad too.

Kathleen, Stacie and I met at the usual coffee shop today to plan our week and we decided to listen in on the weekly conference call for all of the factory stores. So there we are all huddled around Stacie's phone trying to listen and this woman just sits down with us and she's knitting and asking us about ourselves and all about the new store and telling us about how she used to live in Israel! People here are SO FRIENDLY!! I love it! And here's how great our coffee shop is- they let dogs inside! This woman, whose name is Andrea, had her golden, Jackson, inside. After leaving the coffee shop I went around to all the schools to talk up the discount. We are really coming along with the hiring at this point, now we are just looking for temporary help for the week before we open.

When I got back to my apartment today after meeting with Stacie and Kathleen, my neighbor was sitting at a picnic table out on her lawn so I smiled at her. She must have thought I speak Spanish because she greeted me with an "Hola," maybe since Paola is from Paraguay, anyway it didn't matter, it was just funny! The rest of our conversation was in English and mostly about the weather. It's beautiful today, but cold- only about 60 degrees and it seems that Fall will soon be upon us! Kathleen informed me that it actually did snow very early yesterday morning but then turned to rain by the time I woke up. This is blowing my mind! I'm not ready for that kind of weather!

Sorry this is the most boring blog EVER! I have a full week planned so hopefully more exciting stuff will happen!

That is really neat - who knew about the fleas! I can't get over your weather updates - it still feels like the middle of summer here and it's already snowing there!?! Crazy...I can already tell I'm really going to miss the seasons :( and by the way, not a boring blog :)

Hey Heather, this is actually Katie... I'm logged into my mom's account so I can fix it to make it say her name instead of "dragonboats" when she posts a comment.

So here is a tester!

Hey, I like the name dragon boats. Maybe it could be DragonLady? That would be cool.
