Words of Weezdom

So every little computer gaming boy’s dream is to find the woman they love and also find out that she loves computers just as much as him…right?

Well I had a similar dream, but I decided that real love is much more fun. Especially sharing a mutual love of my other passion…music.

Would you believe my excitement when Val was actually willing to try computer games and see how she feels about them and whether she likes them or not?! At first I was very ecstatic! I mean come on!!! My wife wants to play computer games!! Now I’m trying to get used to the idea of me getting my own medicine…so to speak.

I come home Wed at 6pm and we had plans to go over to my in-laws and have dinner and tell them about our vacation. Val is no where to be found downstairs! I yell up the stairs and say “Val it’s 6 we gotta go it’s getting late.” She replies “Oh…didn’t realize the time hold on…I gotta find a safe place!” Thirty minutes later she’s ready to go!

On top of that last night we are in line for midnight showing for Batman, Andy one of our techies, approaches us and is talking and so on…I quote Val “Andy you have to get this game…it’s so good. No seriously get the game Andy I need more friends to play with….”

My jaw drops and I can’t do anything but agree with this beautiful woman that God has placed in my life!

He’s nuts!!

Actually we were outside taking some pictures of scrabble…actually instead explaining I’ll just post the video when it’s done heh heh!

Seagate released a 1.5TB Hard Drive…

enough said!

Wow…I didn’t want to laugh at lance about his Mac problem because it then becomes my problem but it was interesting!

His mac gave a kernel panic and then crashed and it crashed hard!

Anyway I’ve stumbled upon another issue with Vista and it probably is Windows retaliating against Mac. iTunes will not work properly on a Vista computer…they just do NOT like each other at all!

The biggest problem right now, because the other ones I’ve found ways around, is it doesn’t burn songs all the way through! It will make a cd but only burn 50% of the song or something ridiculous like that…

I’m all about a nice battle between windows and mac…but don’t bring it to the consumer level where we get hosed!

Well we are back and we had quite a blast!!

Val and I are still speaking to each other and we’ve actually grown closer on this whole road trip. It’s great taking vacation where you can relax with each other and just enjoy each other!

I really miss the east coast though, I remembered now why I try not to take vacations that lead me to the east coast because I just long for the greenery and mountains and all that good stuff.

We almost went and saw the Biltmoore Estate in Ashville, NC but then found out that it was $60 a person…

Yes that’s right $60 a person to TOUR A MANSION!!! I don’t get it…but it’s probably just not my cup of tea!

We are off again to journey back to wichita! It’s been a real fun vacation and awesome being with some friends that will be part of our lives forever!

We are leaving hopefully around 6am and be back in wichita right around midnight to see our lovely Adry whack her tail against the wall so hard it bleeds from the joy she will get of seeing us again =)

Yesterday was a fun day! We are sitting around computers just chatting and playing when my friend Elizabeth tells Val about this “great” mall that’s in the area! I roll my eyes and pray that there isn’t a “Forever 21″ store there. Well Val’s next question was “Is there a Forever 21 there?” Of course the answer was yes or this story would be very pointless!

So basically I broke down and gave Val some cash to go shopping at her favorite store.

It’s weird no matter where we go for vacation or travel I always have to pick a spot with a Forever 21 in it, without even knowing! It would be awesome if right next to forever 21 was a Fry’s Electronics so men would have something to do…BAH!

Well Val and I visited my parents today in Va Beach, VA. We are having a fun time and all that, earlier this afternoon we went to visit my brother and my dad told me afterwards they just got the news that as of July 1st my brother was approved for medicaid!!!!

Meaning he will be set for life and he will get the best care and financial support! This is such an amazing answer to prayer!!!! Thank you so much for those of you that prayed! This is an awesome testament to what God can do!!

Well we left Friday in the morning and arrived at my friends house at 9pm! What an exciting drive! Until we got to Knoxville the sights were dead, after that it was such beautiful landscape and I realized how much I’ve missed the east coast for just the beauty!

Val and I survived and still talking =) Val did an awesome job driving stick for a little bit of the way to give me a break so it makes an enormous difference to have a 2nd driver!

Here is a log of our trip…

• 2:45am Departed Wichita
• 5:15am Kansas City
• 6:45am Boonville
• 8:20 St. Louis
• 11:50 Paducah
• 1:45pm Nashville
• 5:10pm Knoxville
• 7:00pm Ashville
• 7:48pm Spartanburg
• 9:00pm Charlotte

Our directions took us a wierd route at the end there, it went through North Carolina then to South Carolina and then it cut straight north back into North Carolina….very odd (Ashville is in NC, Spartanburg is in SC) Next time we might try a GPS but being through what we went through with our GPS series I’m not sure it’s a good idea!

The other weird part about the trip was our gas mileage, we took my car cause it does better mileage and here are the logs for that…

• 1st stop - 10.47g/288miles (27.5mpg)
• 3rd stop - 6.55g/174miles (Unfortunately forgot to log 2nd stop) (26.5mpg)
• 4th stop - 9.47g/288miles (30.47mpg)

The only difference between the 3rd and 4th stop is there was a lot of downhill driving form the mountains…didn’t think it would make that big of a difference but wow!

Well we are on our way to Charlotte, NC! YAY!

We got started about 2:45 am this morning and have been trucking a long I’ll update later!
