Sneaky Boyfriend...

Shush! She doesn't know that I'm writing this.


 Hey y'all! How ya been? I hope you've been doing well. A small update from the boyfriend... I just got back from getting a massage today. Good gravy that was such a good hour! I've been having a lot of pain lately and a massage was just what I needed. Today marks the end of my three day weekend. It was fun while it lasted but all good things must come to an end. Or at least that's how the saying goes. I for one, believe that no good thing should ever end...but this is coming from the guy that believes that all tv and internet services should be free of charge for standard slow connections and local channels. You could totally pay for higher speeds or better channels but that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to gloat about my massage day is all. Hehe! Hope you all get a little bug in your ear and go get a massage sometime soon. It's sooo worth any amount of money that you have to pay. I for one only paid $30 for mine cause it's the first time at this new place I started going to. Ok better go before I get caught. ;) Talk to you all later!

FBI, CSI, or NCIS

No need to send any of those nice people out after me, I'm alive and well


Although, if you did want to send ME to meet the NCIS team, I would totally be okay with that


Just so you know :)


I've started quite a few posts since last Wednesday, but I never had the time to finish them...so I'll get to working on that :)


For today's video, I've got a special treat for you


Mr. Boss Man introduced me to this guy who takes popular music on the radio and remakes them into pure A Capella (that sentence came out all awkward and unstructured...but because it's Monday I'm going to leave it :)


So, without further ado, I leave you the first video out of many that I will show you from Mr. A Capella man :)

He amazes me...he's so talented!! 

Click here if you can't see it

*sigh* I think he's my new crush

(I have to make sure Boyfriend doesn't read this...)

Tonight I'm going out to go shopping for V-Day for Boyfriend...I'm so excited!! I have a really good idea and I think it's going to turn out really cute :D

I'll be sure to show you eventually...but I can't until I give them to Boyfriend because he reads my blog on occasion...

I hope you're all having a GREAT Monday!! Boyfriend got an extra day off of work, so mine's not bad :)

Bye!!

The did you knows with a twist

I've made an executive decision

Don't look at me like that, it's my blog, I can do what I want!!

I've been seeing lots of friends lately who run out of space on their blog...and since the little post-it note thingies count as pictures, I'm hesitant to use them because I don't want to have to start a new blog, or delete them, or pay, or yada yada yada

So, I will still do "Did You Know"...just not with post-its :)

Did you know...

That tomorrow is my day off????????? I'm not excited at all... :D

My quiet world at work is about to end....this winter it's just been me, Mr. Boss Man, and Mama Smurf sometimes and it's been soooo nice. However, I was informed today that today was the last day of my reprieve....so I'm glad I get a day to mentally prepare myself...

In honor of the upcoming Chinese New Year, I figured I'd do some facts on that :)

*The Chinese people age a year together. Tradition holds that on the seventh day of the new year, all people in China become a year older

So...what about birthdays? Do they age two years altogether?? I don't think I would approve of that...

*On the fifteenth and final day of the Chinese N.Y. celebrations, the Chinese Lantern Festival is observed. Almost all members of Chinese families walk the streets with lanterns, marking the end of festivities and gorge on traditional dishes

I'm all for 15 day long celebrations and food!!

*The "tsujiura senbei" is a kind of fortune cookie associated with New Year festivities at Shinto Shrines. It's unique name comes from the fact that it contains a tsujiura (I dare you to say that 5 times fast...) (a writing that tells one's fortunes) inside a senbei (Japanese crackers). This Japanese food is centures old.

If it's that old....maybe people shouldn't eat it...it might make them sick

*During the C.N.Y festival only married couples give "Ang Pow"s, red envelopes containing money to buy holiday treats, to their kids or relatives of their younger generations instead of giving presents. Following a popular superstition, the money in the red packets always totals up to an even numbered amount and never an odd numbered amount because the latter is usually associated with funeral money. Also, the money should never add up to anything with the number 4 in it, because 4 in Chinese sounds like the word 'death'.

Ummmm....I approve of the money...and I approve of the even amounts of money...but not adding up to anything with 4? That's kind of weird

*During the Xia Dynasty, the C.N.Y was traditionally said to have begun with month 1. In 221 BC, the first emperor of China Qin Shi Huang changed the beginning of the year to month 10. But in 104 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again established month 1 as the beginning of the year.

Too many changes...I'm getting dizzy...

*In ancient China, bamboo stems filled with gunpowder were burnt to create small explosions in the belief that the loud sound drove away evil spirits. The burning of firecrackers in modern-day China still maintains this age-old custom.

Forget evil spirits, that would just be fun!!

*Most people take at least a week off from work and visit their home towns or villages. Everything is closed for at least three days (New Year's Day and the two days afterwards) - even stores that normally stay open for 24 hours. Before and afterwards the roads, trains, and airports are packed with people trying to get home and back. 

I'm not a big fan of holiday traffic, but I would love a random week off!!

And, last but not least...

*You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television

Sounds like a perfectly good reason for me to sleep more!! :D

Night!!

Dear letters...

It's Tuesday again, which means I'm linking up with Dazee for her Dear... letters

Dear Friends,

This is my 200th post!! I should celebrate...by buying something new!! :) When I do, I will be sure to share pictures :)

Dear Friends part 2, 

Can you, by chance, see the new fonts I have? Like my pages? They're supposed to be written in a kind of cursive. Or my blog archives? They're new fonts blogger has as options in the editing part...and Peach can't see it in her browser, but I can see in on mine and another one at work...

Hummm...

(that being said, Boyfriend thinks it's because Peach has an older version of IE...she has IE 6, according to him...so if you have another browser, maybe try it in that? I'm just really curious now is all...thanks!!) 

Dear Mr Boss Man,

Remember how you thought today was my day off and not Thursday? Can we rewind to where you still thought it was and send me home and give me two days off?? Please??

Dear Mother Nature, 

Thank you so much for your gift of snow today!! I loved it, it was beautiful!!

Dear Puzzle, 

I have been staring at your pieces for I don't know how long and I've decided your bottom half is going to take me a LOT longer than the top half...

Dear Economy, 

I hate you. I hate that you are making life difficult for millions of people in the world. But when you mess around with the one of my best friends...we are truly on the war path now!!

Dear Accounting Jobs in Utah County,

One of you needs to have a position open up so that said best friend's husband can get another job

Dear Not-Paid-Bill Fairy,

Do you think you could wave your pretty wand and make the bill that Boyfriend's dad put in Boyfriend's name that he supposedly never paid go away? Cause it's making Boyfriend look not so great and he can't get a loan...

Dear iPod touch,

Thank you for not really being missing...and for not being hurt or damaged or lost or stolen...I promise I will not accidentally forget where I set you down ever again!!

Dear Friends part 3, 

Okay, it's my new bed time so I need to go sleep :)

Night!!

p.s.

Here is the video from Boyfriend and I 

We had lots of fun making it, so you better have lots of fun watching it!! ;)

This one's for you Dazee

Click here if you can't see it and want to

Yes, I know I look like a freak and am really weird...I'm used to it, so you need to be as well

Happy Morning!!

Bad YouTube!!

Boyfriend and I had a special video to post for you today...but YouTube is maintenancing (yes, it's a word) its site, so a. it's taking forever and b. it's in read-only mode, so it won't be viewable

Of course they had to do maintenance the one night I want to upload a video...

Anywho, I'm going to share some spam I've received recently that I found entertaining and I'll share the video tomorrow :)

Numero Uno:

Hey,

Am sorry i did not inform you about my trip to the UK for a programme.

I really hate to ask, I need a favour from you and its really urgent. I misplaced m

y wallet were I kept both money and other valuable items on my way to the hotel I lodged,

 I should have called you to explain better, but as it is right now I am strapped , I don’t  even 

have a phone or  means to place a long distance call right now. Can you please kindly urgently

 assist me with a soft loan, to enable me sought out my bills and get myself back home will be 

needing about $1900,but I would really  appreciate whatever you can afford. I know I can 

confide in you and you have my word; I will refund you as soon as I return I promise. 

Please let me know If you can be of assistance,so that i can send you details on how to send 

the money directly to me.

Thanks.

I'm sorry you didn't inform me either and I really wish you would have called me so that I could have laughed in your face instead of doing in over the internet. Besides, I would need more than a days notice to scrounge up $200 for myself, let alone $1900 for a complete stranger. Did you misplace your grammar as well as your wallet?? Cause you seem to be struggling with that as well...

Oh wow....I am SO glad the problem is finally fixed!! Now the only thing we need to fix is your head.... While I would LOVE a trip to Disneyland, I would never accept it from the likes of you. And I use a different browser than ANY of those you listed, so you fail. Just so you know
