This was quite an interesting weekend! Friday after work I spent some time with my friend Jen, we got our nails done and shopped for a bit at Target. I like hanging out with Jen, she's so easy to be around! After Rob got out of work I met him at the mall in our attempt to get a new iphone. We got to the part of the mall where the Apple store is and before we even saw the doors we saw a huge line of people who looked like they had been waiting there for quite a while. We turned right around and headed for the AT&T store near by. We pulled up, parked, and went inside since we didn't see a line. The woman there said they only got 100 phones and were sold out at 10am! Empty handed we went back to our apartment and devised a plan for the next day.
Saturday I woke up at 6:30am and drove by the at&t store and then over to the mall. When I got to the mall there was another line, a few people sleeping, a few reading the paper, and one guy on a cell phone. I sat down next to the people sleeping, at the end of the line, and tried to count how many were before me, about 20. Not bad, I should be in a good place to get an iphone if supplies was running short. At about 9am an Apple employee came out of the store and handed out brochures and went around if anyone had questions. Around 9:15a the line started moving. They let the first 10 people in the store. Slowly those people came out and while the line snaked in the corridor of the mall, almost to the foodcourt, a few people cheered for the first couple to come out holding the crisp 3G bag in one hand and their brand new phone in the other. Around 9:45a it was our turn, we were escorted in like celebrities in a VIP club to the store to wait in another shorter line. Finally, our turn came and Justin brought us over to the wall with all the iphone accessories. We picked out cases and told him about our at&t plan. He grabbed 2 shiny black boxes and started to scan them for sale. After 20 mins of being on the phone with at&t about our new phones and service for the iphones we were able to pay and open the boxes. Finally! I thought it would have been a lot harder, but I am very glad it wasn't. I love my new phone!!
Sunday we hung out around the apartment. For lunch I asked Rob to get some water boiling for pasta, he put the pot of water on and turned the burner on high. After a minute we both heard this BANG and then all the power in the apartment went out. We were freaked out, we didnt know what happened! I called our apartment's office and told them what happened. A maintenance guy came over and turned the power back on and looked at the stove. He said it was probably because the burner was old, but not to use it again.
We watched The Cable Guy last night. Weird movie!
Well, gotta get back to work, or something!
