Greetings from my new apartment! My new, empty apartment with the big hole in the window from the golf ball that came flying through it the day I moved in. Actually the ball must have bounced back out because we can't find it anywhere!
For those of you who may not know, my apartment is directly behind the driving range of the Park City golf course. My landlord told us that a window is broken a couple times a year. I would have thought it would be the higher windows because there are a bunch of trees and a fence right in front of our windows. There are also nets over most of the house, but this particular golfer must have been a really good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) shot. They have already made arrangements to have it fixed, but it hasn't happened yet. I hope they repair the window soon since we are supposed to get a couple of inches of snow tomorrow!
It has been an interesting past few days at work. Yesterday one of the lights in our stockroom caught on fire!!! One of our associates, Jared, was moving around boxes of hangers and one of them bumped the light and it began smoking, sparking and there was even a flame! I was eating my dinner and working on some stuff in the office when I heard Jared's worried voice.
"Uhhh.... Heather.... there's something wrong with one of the lights."
As soon as I got near it I could smell the burning and when I saw the sparks and fire I quickly turned off the lights and we called an electrician to come fix it. I am scared of our stock room when I am back there by myself and last night it was especially awful because with the lights off it is pitch black until you get to the office! I'm so glad we noticed the problem when we did, otherwise there would have been a real fire!
Then today we had our first celebrity shopper! Leslie Bibb, of Talledega Nights, Ironman, and for the Paul Walker fans- The Skulls, came into J. Crew today! She was quiet, nice and for the most part kept to herself. I talked to her a few times and helped her out- however, when asked who assisted her at the register she said no one did!!! I was, of course, the only person that knew who she was, but when the cashier, Matt, didn't recognize her zip code and asked where she was from she said L.A. and he could tell what her signature said. It was pretty cool, to me anyway, although the people I've told so far have been less than impressed. I'm sorry, when was the last time you told a famous person that you don't sell cashmere V-neck sweaters?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Just you all wait until Sundance, I'll have more celebrity sightings under my belt than you can shake a stick at! I may not have used that expression correctly.....
So, the posted pics are the only ones Ive taken of the new place so far. More to come soon, once we start getting some furniture in here. I didn't take a photo of my bedroom only because it is covered in all of my stuff right now since I haven't had time to organize anything.
I guess I jumped the gun on thanking everyone for participating in my CD... way to make me feel loved out here ALL BY MYSELF! Colin, I appreciate your prompt response, and good song choice. For anyone who would like to redeem themselves and actually play along, I'll extend the deadline to next weekend. It can be your favorite song of all time, or your favorite song of the moment. Katie, to answer your question I prefer upbeat to slow, but anything will do! Between everyone ignoring me about this and the fact that I am scheduled to close practically EVERY FLIPPIN' DAY so I miss DWTS each week and the damn player won't work on my computer even after I sent abc.com a desperate plea for help- I could use a little cheering up!
