City Oaks :(

I've spent most of my day in bed. Because in January, everyone in Canada suffers from the mid winter sniffles. I'm no exception.

We had a pretty decent snowfall last night so I had to dig my way out of my house to get anywhere today. Luckily, the only place I had to go was the post office.
I shoveled the walk and decided to be a decent neighbor and dig out some of the cars parked on the street. When I came in after shoveling, I was a snot-monster so I curled up in bed with my cat and a cup of tea.

During my "nap/movie", the phone rang. It was my travel agent. She tried to book us an apartment in Auckland called the City Oaks. Unfortunately, the place was booked up. Instead of panicking, we looked at our options. There was a very snazzy place a few blocks away from the gym but it was going to be really $$$. Jenn then found another apartment-style hotel around the corner from the City Oaks called Quest. When she quoted me the price, I nearly fell out of bed. It turned out to be $400 cheaper than the City Oaks and it had all the same ammenities.
BAZINGA!!!!
Booked!!!!!

Now that we've saved all that money, I can buy myself some new running shoes!!!
(That story is for Friday because that's when Becky and I pick up our special sneakers I ordered this morning).

12 days!!!!!
