Going to Ann Arbor, possibly getting sick

Matt and I stopped by Ann Arbor last night. Matt went to the Michigan basketball game with a few friends while I had dinner with Ashwin and then hung out with Steph for a little while. Ashwin and I went to Vinology on Main Street. It's a tapas restaurant, although they have entrees too, that specializes in having tons of different wines. I tried an Australian Red Zinfandel. It was pretty good but obviously overpriced. A glass costs half the amount of what you can buy the bottle for.
Afterwards I hung out with Steph and Rey. It was Rey's friend's bday so I tagged along and went to the Arena to hang out with their friends. I have never been to Arena but it's pretty much a sportsbar. I tried to find Matt on the jumbo screen showing the MI game but they only show the student section side. Matt came and joined us after the game and then we drove back to RO.
It is ridiculously cold here. The wind chill has been in minus degrees since last night (for the Packer's home game tonight, the temp is supposed to be -14 wind chill so I guess I should feel somewhat lucky we don't have it as bad). I am not going outside at all today.
I might have picked up Matt's cold. I am feeling the beginning effects of it with a sore throat and it's kind of uncomfortable to swallow. This is when I start taking medicine so it'll go away before it's full blown. Hopefully it works!
In good news, I finally bought our airfare to Puerto Vallarta. I've been checking online fares the past 2 months and it finally dipped to the highest I would pay for tickets. I bought them right away, which is a good thing because that evening the fares went back up. As soon as we bank our disney points I am going to switch credit cards to acquire frequent flier miles. Airfare is getting to be such a pain with higher regulations and oil prices.

I miss having MLK day off. I have to go to work tomorrow :(

Welcome 2008

New Year's was fun, although we spent way too much, IMHO. We went to The Melting Pot. They were having a New Year's reception. I love Melting Pot!! It was really yummy and the event included a free glass of champagne and some other goodies. We got a waiter who wanted to partake in the festivities (including drinking) so he kept filling our flutes up so we all ended up getting around 5 free champagne drinks!
The bowl game was obviously exciting. I held my breath the entire time because I knew we were good enough to win it but Hart kept fumbling!! I liked a few signs that fans were holding up such as, "Florida Recount...Hart for Heisman" and my favorite "Why settle for LES when you can get RICH quick." Michigan fans are so creative, no "GO GATOR" signs were going to top those! I'm happy that Lloyd was able to go out on a bowl win.
TGI Friday's is no longer accepting Friday's Gold Points cards. They are totally ditching the program so Matt and I went to redeem all my points last weekend. We got a few dinners and drinks and ended up paying under $9! I've had my card ever since high school and Friday's is my favorite American restaurant so it sucks that they're ending their rewards program because I usually rack up a good amount of points.
I might have found a way to end my Sprint contract! I found a loophole through spoofee but I can't put it into effect until mid January at the earliest. If it works I may have a working cell phone once again- but probably through Verizon. To be continued...
