Ask us about our special toy…

OK, so you know when you’re at the fast food drive-thru and it says on the menu board “Ask us about our special toy for children under 3″? Well, apparently if we’re in the drive-thru at McDonald’s, and she’s trying to order, and I ask about the toy, Kate gets embarrassed or something and starts laughing and can’t stop. But when you’re at Wendy’s a few minutes later and do the same thing, she doesn’t laugh. How weird is that?

Random Crap, Birthday Edition

So who knows about Woot? It’s possibly one of the sweetest websites in the world, next to this site.

Anyways, pretty infrequently, they have this item known as “Random Crap”, affectionately know to some as a “Bag of Crap”. In the whole 3 year history of Woot, this apparently was only their 20th offering of said crap. So more about the Random Crap… Continue reading ‘Random Crap, Birthday Edition’

Stupid gas pumps!

So I’m filing this under my really annoying category.

I hate when I am pumping gas, and partway through the pump, it stops filling. You know, like, when you put up that latch thing to autofill it, and when it gets full, it stops. Like that, except for it is not really full. After maybe 2 gallons, it stops. So I have to start pumping again. And again 30 seconds later it stops again. So then I have to start again.   :mad:

Man Survives Alligator Attack on Florida Golf Course

VENICE, Fla. — A Tennessee man survived an attack by an alligator while retrieving a golf ball at a Florida golf course Monday.

Bruce Burger, of Lenore City, Tenn., reached into a pond at the sixth hole of Lake Venice Golf Club Monday afternoon when the alligator apparently grabbed his right forearm Course Manager Rod Parry told FOXNews.com.

“He didn’t see the gator,” Parry said. “Obviously, the gator reacted to what he probably thought was some kind of food.” (EMPHASIS MINE)

Maybe the gator knew the man’s name was Bruce Burger.

Emergency room? Or Field House?

As maybe one or two of you know, yesterday I decided I wanted to try walking from work (Phillips Hall) to class (Field House). That’s across the river. I never had the courage to try walking across the river, because:

  1. I never thought I had time
  2. Even if I had time, I thought perhaps I wouldn’t make it

Stupid Microsoft Updates

So, I put in some memory to my computer tonight. I added 2GB, so now I’m up to 3GB. Soon I am going to add the last gig and max it out. Anyways, after I was done doing that, I went to the Microsoft website to update Windows.  I looked and there were software updates and hardware updates, so I went ahead and installed them. I don’t really remember what they were, but I know that I had to restart the computer in order for the updates to take effect. Continue reading ‘Stupid Microsoft Updates’

My baby is six…

Well, today is Audrey’s 6th birthday. We went to see Shrek the Third at the movie theatre, and then I let her choose where we went for her birthday dinner, and she chose…

My silly wife

So for some reason Kate thought it would be a good idea to wear a diaper on her head and pose for some pictures. I’m not sure why.

Something to talk about, other than hair…

Uh… so Sanjaya is gone. And I am sad.

Actually, I was SO EXCITED that Sanjaya was voted off that I started clapping my hands very enthusiastically and such, and my hands hurt for the rest of the night. And in fact, still now.

I’m actually kinda shocked though that he was voted off. Usually when a contestant is voted off they’ve been in the bottom 3 for at least a week and maybe more. This was his first time.

I’m just glad that now we don’t have to look at his ridiculous hair anymore. Oh, and his horrible singing voice.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the ridiculous title of this post. It is based off of a ridiculous edit of the song “Something to Talk About” by Bonnie Raitt. Ms. Malakar so cleverly changed the lyrics

Let’s give them something to talk about
How about love?

to this

Let’s give them something to talk about
Other than hair

Hello?!?! If you wouldn’t wear your hair in such… stupid styles, people wouldn’t talk about it. Besides, it is nicer to comment on your hair, than to tell you the real truth, that you suck as a singer.

What’s the deal with this site?

So some of you may wonder what is going on with this site. You may think you were coming to Kate’s site, or to Chris’s site. You did.

It became too much of a hassle with two different Wordpress installations and two different Gallery2 installations to keep it all updated, so we are combining it all into this one site, www.chrisandkatewheeler.com. So that is what the deal is.

EDIT: Thanks to Candace for mentioning updating her bookmark. Everyone, make sure you edit your bookmark!
