Incandescently happy

Long time, no post, eh? Sorry. Busy week.
Matt and I have finally thrown caution to the wind, and since Monday, I've been his Sugarpants and he's my ______. (I'm still working on a nickname for him ;)
It's great. I'm incredibly happy, even though I still worry because it's an office romance. And we have two ways of getting caught. Well, three- 1) Matt's roomate, who is well connected (and handy) 2) Amanda, who is quite excited and not very good at talking in code and doesn't see the need for discretion, or, secret option #3- we get caught because we're both smiling like idiots and chatting with each other all day.
::sigh:: It's nice. It's great, really. At risk of sounding silly, I'll say I'm happyhappyhapyhappy.
(WTF? Cassie just texted me, saying she went to a psychic who told her she was a painter in a previous life, and she'll change careers to be a musician later in life, and be fabulously wealthy... oh lord.)
Back to it. This mostly fabulous week has had some downsides. One, no sleep. And crappy sleep when I steal some. Oh, and I skipped food everyday. And the transcription project from Hell for Mr. Angles at work. Bastard.
Right now, just about everything on me aches. But I'll get over myself soon. Hopefully someone will feed me dinner, cause there's no way I'm going to get it. Or make it. We'll see.
And today? Superbowl. GO BEARS! Looks like my Bears have good defense tonight, but as of right now, we're down two. And both sides keep fumbling, not sure what's up with that. I thought that was pretty basic, something you learn in day one of football camp: don't drop the ball. But who knows, they're probably all nervous, so I'll give them some slack.
Questions I have that I want answered:
1. Where is the marching band from? NFL teams don't have bands. Is that the state college band, or something? The specific superbowl band?
2. Did Prince just sing a Foo Fighters cover? Or did the Foo steal it first, like Little Nikki? Hmm...
3. The play in the rain? I looks like it's raining pretty hard. Would they cancel the Superbowl because of rain? I wonder.
1) Yes they bring in the bands special for the Super Bowl. You are correct. NFL teams do not have marching bands. The marching band during the Prince show was Florida A&M.
2)According to some random Prince fan site, he played three covers. So it was probably a cover of a Foo song.
3)Very very rarely are football games ever canceled for weather reasons. One of the coolest Super Bowls ever was the Ice Bowl.

Funny though that the NFL tries to make sure the Super Bowl is held either in domes or in sunny locals. Miami's weather just decided not to cooperate this year.
I'm also really glad you're happy. Cause I am too.
Your secret is safe with me, and I will try to hold back my excitement around the office.
