A silly song and goofy stuff

With Theresa and I, we have what some might call a weird relation ship. She is for lack of better words, my other half. She is just this side of being a geek, while I am a Geek and proud to call myself that(remember kids, geeks rule the world now!). So I was shocked and very proud when she sang this little song to me the other day and here are the lyrics:
Mary had a little lamb,
little lamb, little lamb.
Mary had a little lamb,
and some potatoes.
Yeah, we are a pair, but that was one of the funniest things she has told me and she never stops amazing me with goofy stuff like that. So it came as no shock when as I was sitting in my office I heard her utter the greatest thing she ever said to an inanimate object.
          
            When I was in my office looking for the end of the Internet, my wife Theresa was sitting in the living room of our apartment watching her Favorite show, which airs on Tuesday night at 8pm on Fox(I will not name said show because I do have a little pride). My wife likes to use our DVR to record shows and watch them 15 minutes after they start so she can skip the commercials, which is a good idea when it works. On this particular Tuesday, it failed on an epic scale. The DVR decided that it was done for the night and decided to puke all over her show and seriously mess up her mood for that evening. Before she decided to throw the damn thing out the window, she yelled from the living room "Adam, f**king looky." Now I knew from that it must have been good, and sure enough, our DVR had her show on with no audio and the recorded show list on top of it with nothing else, and no matter how many times she hit the button it would not work. 
            Needless to say I was laughing so hard by this time that all she could do was repeat herself and laugh along with me. It was quite possibly the only night where all we did was repeat the phrase f**king looky and we would crack up. It was a great night for a little bonding time, but not a good night for our DVR.

 So as to that, this should show all of you how the minds of my wife and I work and why I would not trade a single minute of the time I have had with her for anything.

How did I get here?

This past was a roller coaster to say the least. Thanksgiving was good, but a person I knew passed away, so it was...a week. So I asked myself last night how I got here to a place where I felt good about the week as a whole, and it all goes back to earlier that day(which was yesterday, Sunday).

My parents, sister, and my sister's son came over to have a sort of party for my sister's birthday(which is 6 days away now). Anytime I can spend with them and my wife Theresa is always awesome, but this day was even better than the others. As we waited for the time my dad and I could go get the pizza we ordered, I decided at the age of 2 my nephew was ready to hit the jump button as I used the d-pad to move Mario across world 1-1 in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. About 5 minutes earlier I taught him what a Yoshi was and he carried around a little Yoshi action figure I own all day. This is all part of my plan to make him as big of a geek as I am and I plan on furthering this plan by getting him some V-Tech stuff and maybe his own Yoshi action figure.
But the best part of the day was after a great couple of hands of UNO where my wife and sister used the cards in their hands to teach my nephew his colors and numbers, my dad and I worked on getting my nephew to say O-H-I-O to anyone who would listen. This is made even funnier because my sister is a massive University of Michigan fan and they lost bad to THE Ohio State University the day before. Because of that and the "love you" I got for him, my nephew is the coolest person I know, and mark my words, he will be a geek before my time on this earth is through.

So as I sit here at my computer today and read this little piece of narration about yesterday, I am so happy that my family came over and made my week just better by their coming over to hang out with Theresa and I. I want to end this entry by saying I love you too Jay and you can come over and hang out with Mario, Yoshi and I anytime you want.
