Call-Forwarding from Sprint

Did you know that you can forward your calls to another number without permission from the owner of that number? I didn't know either until my bf had to forward his calls to my number and he was able to do so without me having to give Sprint my consent. Then he tried to cancel it and something didn't work right so I still kept getting his calls. I called Sprint myself and told them I thought that was weird and asked if that was possible to do and she said "Yes and no. As long as they have your number they can, scary huh." I can't believe it; don't be suprised if I get in the mood to send my calls to you.

This Is For The Boys

If you were to select "male" for your gender on a survey, please leave a comment. I want to know your thoughts, even the negative ones...

My light bulb in the bedroom just went out and I automatically thought to tell my bf to change it. It's not as though I can't easily do it myself, but for some reason I felt as though it was "the mans" job, haha. It got me thinking about what else he "should" be doing?! (I'm feeling quite shallow but honest right now). In addition to changing light bulbs here is my list: taking out the trash is #1, killing spiders (but he never does it), carrying/moving heavy things, hooking up electronics, opening jars, dealing with computer problems, and cooking (not preparing) meat, only when it's on the grill. How has this changed from the past? It's hard for me to say however from what I understand I feel as though the main shift for my generation is from the handy man to the tech man. Having lived with many men (currently 3) I could not say that any of them could fix a leaking sink, however hooking up the surround sound is a no-brainer. Of course bringing home the bacon still lingers, but the financial lines have quickly blurred. As we all compete in a technologically savvy world our skills begin to align with those we share our cubicles with. As we move closer in-line with one another, perhaps possessing a blue collar skill could be useful. I can make some sick PowerPoint slides but I can't lay your carpet, install you windows, or change you spark plugs. Something to keep in mind perhaps.

Ice Cream and Cake and Cake!

I love this commercial...

A Watch: Necessity or Accessory?

I was in a meeting today with 7 men wearing 7 watches placed on each of their left wrists. 4 of them had cells phones sitting on the table directly in front of them while I'm sure the rest of them had their phone in their pocket. Other than a watch and for some a wedding ring, I did not notice any other accessories so it made me wonder... Is the watch the ultimate accessory for men? I feel as though it must be because they could not have possibly needed it to tell the time, it was right there in front of them on their cell phone. What does your watch say about you and how important is the brand? Rolex, Cartier, Mavado, which one are you?

Speaking of Being Happy

Internet Explorer is really pissing me off, it's working so slow that I am now testing out Google Chrome; so far so good. I saw this funny video the other day where Google went to the streets asking people what a browser is. I was surprised as there seemed to be a lot of confusion between a browser and search engine, weird. Anyways, I love Google, they also make me happy.

Wells Fargo Makes Me Happy

I've been with Wells Fargo since the age of 9 and when they had charged me for monthly checking, I walked into the bank with my mom to talk to the President of our local branch, Paul, requested to remove the $5 monthly charge, and it was taken care of. A couple other things have made me pleased lately. First off, I love "My Spending Report" accessible via online banking. It makes me realize how I spend way too much eating out. Secondly, you can now deposit checks into the ATM without an envelope which is so convenient and environmental. I keep hoping their text recognition program will not recognize the amount the check is for but it's always spot on, and that makes me happy.

Oatmeal Face

This may sound like an awesome Oatmeal cookie recipe but it's not, it's an awesome natural mask that will make you face feel like a baby's a**. After reading many other recipes, this is what I conjured up however I'm not sure the measurements are entirely perfected yet, but the ingredients are. You may want to cut this in half, it makes a lot.


1 cup of Oatmeal (Rolled Oats)
1 cup of hot water (do not boil)
1 tablespoon olive oil or almond oil
4 tablespoons of honey
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Some granulated sugar or dark brown sugar (for later)

Grind up the oatmeal, slowly add in water until it makes a thick paste. You may need more (or less) water than a cup. You can either grind the oatmeal in a coffee grinder and then add in the water slowly, or do it all at the same time in a blender (however the coffee grinder will make the oatmeal more fine which is a good thing I think). Add the oatmeal paste and everything else into a closed container (I used an old spaghetti jar), put a lid on it, and shake it all up. You can store this for about a week in the fridge, however know that egg whites are only edible for 2-3 days so you won't want to do any tasting towards the end of the week. After it has cooled, apply it to your face and leave it on until it's entirely dry; about 15 minutes. Your face may feel like it's going to break, this is because the egg whites are doing their job. Sugar is a great exfoliater, however I suggest you add a teaspoon in your hand when you are ready to apply the mask, otherwise if you put the sugar in with the rest of the ingredients it will lose it's graininess and be useless. Rinse with warm water first, then rinse cold water to close your pores, then pat dry. As soon as your face is dry it will feel super soft, hope you love it!
