HAPPY NEW YEAR!

this year i rang in the new year with my hubbster at home. we decided to keep it cheap and save a little bit of dough. so i made us dinner (rack of lamb with red wine sauce), we watched a movie (i finally gave in and we watched ninja turtles III), counted down the new year with dessert and a bottle of bubbly, then watched some supernatural until we were ready to pass out.
all-in-all, a fantastic evening.

on another fantastic note, i received my new phone yesterday afternoon from the ups man too! charles had called up rogers the day before (dec. 30th) and got me a great plan, one that's similar to his, for a pretty darned good price. my phone has been messed up for the last 6 months. i can only talk to people on speakerphone and even then there's a lag on the other end to hear me (like 5 seconds). and my phone was also slowly beginning to lag and not open up programs properly (it also wasn't sending and recieving texts properly either). since my 3 year contract was up on the 27th of december i decided that i wanted the new bb bold (9700) and that i would also get a data plan.
after finalizing my new contract we decided that i would have my new phone delievered in the mail because if i went to pick up in store the salespeople @ rogers might hassle me to either purchase things (like things to add to my plan) or say they can't find my new account plan and they would try to change it (this is what the lady said on the phone... isn't that so sad). so anyway. the lady said it would take 5 business days until my new phone came. well. i've been using my messed up phone for half of the year, so what was another week? well, to my surprise i got my phone yesterday and i've been fooling around with it ever since. it seems like 2010 is set out to be a great year already.

anywho. other than that i woke up to make breakfast for alan and my parents this morning. i made them scallion and cream cheese bagel sticks and they were awfully delicious! ^^ afterwards we went to alan's so that he could shower and we decided to watch a movie. instead of going at night we settled on watching avatar in the afternoon at fairview and then going back to alan's so that he could play dragonage and i would watch supernatural and fool around on my laptop. well, we got to fairview only to sadly see that avatar was sold out of the 3:10 show. luckily our back up plan was sherlock holmes @ 3:30. thank goodness we were early. after about 10 minutes of sitting in the theatre it was PACKED. they even had the employees walking around the theatre asking people if there were people sitting next to them so that they could make room for others (which they normally do for movies opening weekend).
anyway. the movie was fantastic! guy ritche did a great job and i enjoyed it very much! ^^ i recommend it.

after we went to my house to grab my laptop only to discover that eric was uploading his vacation movies off the videocamera to my computer. he has 3 cassettes worth and he was on the last one. then, after, he wanted me to burn them onto dvd. needless to say alan stayed for dinner and i did this for eric. now i'm at alan's and we're doing exactly as we had originally planned.

well. that's my exciting day adventure. sadly my vacation is almost finished... another 2 days and then it's back to work :( i'm quite sad that this week has flown by rather quickly... a little too quickly for my liking. oh well.. *sighz*

now i can only hope that the new year brings me an awesomeo teaching job (or at least a supplying gig) so that i can start my teaching journey. *crosses fingers*

on that note i'll end this entry here. there was quite a bit of rambling and i think it's about high time i do something else. i think i shall set a new goal for myself. i will try to have more entires for this new years. yes. that'll do pig... that'll do :)
