I love three-day weekends!
Finally got Eclipse from the library. So far: Edward continues to be creepy overprotective, Bella continues to be...Bella. Mostly, though, my reaction is NEED TO HURRY UP AND FINISH THIS SO I CAN READ BREAKING DAWN ALREADY.
So, I went to Alltel on Friday to see about getting a new phone. At first it seemed like I would have to ditch my old number and re-pay the activation fee and everything, but it turns out that I can buy a phone (including the same model as my old phone, which they don't make anymore) on ebay or whatever and skip all the activation nonsense. I don't understand how this works, but cheaper AND more convenient? Sounds good to me! I've been dragging my feet a little because the phone still costs a little more than what I want to spend (I wish I could find one that's really cheap because it doesn't come with the charger, because I don't need a charger), but it's still better than having to get it through Alltel. And I do really need to get one, because I hate driving around in the snow and ice without one. (I've been borrowing my mom's phone, which only works as long as she doesn't need to go anywhere.)
I may not end up getting an iPhone right after I pay off my credit card, though. Maybe I'll wait for the Christmas season and see if they come out with a new version or something.
In other news, I am mostly sticking to my fitness goals for the year. (I have had some slip-ups, like when I was cleaning my room and found the Christmas candy...) I've lost ~2lbs so far, which is slow, but better than nothing. I'd been feeling a little burned out on Wii Fit, so I picked up this Jillian Michaels game, which, as far as games go, is kind of crap, with crap graphics and a pretty sluggish controller response, but once you get the hang of it, it gives you a really good workout (I've been SO sore since I started using it), so I give it a thumbs up. It's definitely more aerobic than Wii Fit, which I think I really needed.
ONE HOUR UNTIL OBAMA IS PRESIDENT. EEEEE! \o/

20 questions. Minus 18.
Have you found your old model for sale anywhere?
Re: 20 questions. Minus 18.
I ordered my new phone last night, and it was shipped today. (From Michigan, so hopefully it won't take long to get here.) It claims to be pink, which I hope means it has a special pink cover, and not just a faded red cover. The place I bought it from also advertised a 15 day return policy, so if there's some problem getting the phone activated, I won't be out 80 bucks.

But I'm really floating--very, very hopeful.
