Woo! I bought Apple Care for my iPad ($99, which I can't register until monday as the Apple site is down for maintenance...), iWork '09 ($79, installed/registered), an Apple Remote ($19, so shiny...) and a Pogo Sketch stylus ($14.95) I also bought a book for $11 in Borders (had to get it while I saw it), so all in all, about $225 today...! Poor Myriam, having to put up with me getting really excited about the Apple Store, I bet she felt really embarrassed!
If I had to guestimate, I'd say I had about $100 or so left to last me the week, but I don't need to buy anything else now! I seem to be going through an awful lot of toilet roll though, small-ass rolls/paper sizes = a huge pain... It's about $4 a pack, so it's not too bad! Gives me a good excuse to cut down on food though! (Also, thanks Mum for the $50 cash, see - I had good reason to tell everyone you're awesome!)
I've had a bad stomach most of today and I've been trying not to walk on my broken foot, but that's not easy at all... It's been difficult to do all that and concentrate on things so I've been very tired today and not quite with it. I didn't swim today, but other than that I've been pretty good, doing at least an hour in the pool! Hopefully I'll get the time to swim tomorrow, but it's Myriam's graduation, so I don't know!
Lunch today was the Chinese Buffet (as I said earlier) and dinner was BK at the Salem Mall, I didn't manage to finish my burger, fries or drink, which is a surprise! I need to cut down on what I eat, as the fitter I can get, the better I'll be, if that makes sense... Which reminds me, Myriam bought me some weird jerky, I've put up some photos of it, it tastes really nice but it's still weird! She also bought me some Lindt bars too, as everything was 50% off (the store is closing on the 27th), I have a HUGE bar of milk chocolate and a lovely whipped chocolate mousse bar too! mmm!
The hotel is mega busy today too, so much noise and people! I had to queue for the elevators (as I tweeted earlier), I couldn't believe it to be honest! I can hear people running up and down the corridors, so I'm guessing that people have gone out drinking before graduation and are now slumming it up here!
Myriam's graduation is tomorrow, should be interesting and I'll try and take as many photos as I can. I've been advised to take food, drink and my iPad as I'm going to be bored to hell and back, apparently... Oh dear...

Check online what the rules are for bringing things into Graduation. My kids are at Uni and they attended the main graduation for some of their friends. There were no bags allowed, even ladies handbags were searched so they advised people to just not bring them. People who had bags ended up having to walk all the way back to the car to put their things in the car.
ReplyDeleteCameras were allowed but not food or drinks. If you do carry a bag, try to get a clear plastic bag so searching it will be easy. Rules might not be as strict where you are.
Congratulations Myriam!
paw
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo, they don't do any of that sort of thing here-it's basically you show up with a ticket, they check it, see if it's ok, then let you in. You're not allowed to bring beach balls/air horns/noisemakers/silly string/confetti and whatnot, but people do anyways, so it will be a bit LOUD. Drinks and food can be had for about a 400% markup.
