One Wheeler's World

It’s kind of a big week here in the Wheeler house.  One that deserves a bit of recognition.  And maybe even a small celebration. 

It felt like a great time for me to, finally, introduce the man that I love annoying more than any other person on this planet.  I’ve been pestering him for months now to put together a guest post for me.  He has refused.  Can you believe that? 

Finally, though, he relented when I proposed a bit of a compromise.  So, I sat down and wrote out a whole slew of questions, and he has answered each and every one of them.  What a great guy, huh?

And, so, here he is, in his own words.  With just the right of prodding and nagging from me.

What 5 adjectives best describe you?
Sarcastic, sports loving, nerdy
(Just one question in, and we don’t even have a complete answer.  This does not bode well for your ability to follow directions, Mr. Wheeler!)

What is the worst thing you’ve ever eaten?
Asparagus, or as I like to call it ASSparagus

If you could be a female movie star who would you be and why?
Any with big boobs!

If you could be any superhero, which would you be and why?
Subtracting Man.  Because he is listed as the worst superhero ever on this top 100 list.
(For clarification sake, it’s actually a WORST 100 list.  But, you know, whatever.)

What are two things you can’t live without?
Computer and high speed Internet connection.

If you could marry a cartoon character who would it be? Why?
Jessica Rabbit.  She is hot.

If you are not doing anything what are you most likely to think about?
I wonder how I could get someone to bring me a pizza.

If you could be a car which one would it be and why?
The talking car from Roger Rabbit.  Jessica Rabbit was also in that movie, and she is hot!

Alrighty, then.  So, now that we’ve learned that my husband, apparently, has a strange obsession with Jessica Rabbit, maybe we should move along. 

So, what are we celebrating, anyway? 

It’s probably not what you think…

Eight years ago today, Hubster and I were about to embark on a new chapter in the grand adventure that was our love story.  My belongings packed snugly in the car, we were preparing to head off into the horizon, on a cross-country trip that would finally move all of me to the place where my heart had been living for months.  It seemed like the perfect time to take advantage of Hubster’s sappier side and have him profess to the world how amazingly wonderful I am.

In 25 words or less, tell your version of the story of how we met and fell in love.
I was being a dumbass and you seemed to like that for some reason.  Then I turned on the charm and the rest is history.

When did you know you were head over heels in love with me?
The second or third day after we started talking.  (This one actually got an “awwww” out of me.)

What is your favorite memory of…
…the day we got married?
Being able to say that you were mine :-).

…our wedding?
How beautiful you looked. (Yep, that one gets another “awwww.”  Come on, you know you said it, too!)

…our honeymoon?
Would probably have to be Yankee Stadium.

…the 8 years we’ve been together?
Tie between the week you first visited that May and when you moved out here the next September.

Show me your favorite picture of the two of us.  Why is it your favorite?
The one you have in the hall.  I think that was the happiest we have ever been except for the day Zachary was born, but we don’t really have a picture of that exact moment.

Or maybe it’s exactly what you think…

By the end of the night, Hubster will be completely immersed in his favorite time of year.  You see, the 2012 NFL football season is about to be officially upon us.  And that is cause for great celebration for some, apparently.  So much so that Hubster’s morning started off with posting something on Facebook about how today should have been a work holiday.  Heh.  This year, I’m playing along in Hubster’s fantasy football league, so things should be nice and interesting around here.  I’m not nearly as into sports as he would hope, but every once in a while I try to be a good wife.  And I figured joining in on one of his hobbies is a good way to do that.  Because of that,  I’ve taken it very seriously.  Even spending a few hours engrossed in research, seeking out photos, and ranking the players by level of attractiveness so that I would be fully prepared come draft day.  I think the healthy dose of competition will add some fun to the season.  And of course he agrees.  Or something like that.

If you could MAKE me follow one piece of advice about our fantasy football league, what would it be?
Just because a guy is ugly doesn’t mean he won’t score some fantasy points for you.

Overall, what are your thoughts about my approach to selecting members for my fantasy football team?
I think it is a crazy idea that will never work.  That being said it probably will and you will win the championship.

It’s your job to write the funniest Super Bowl commercial ever.  And go…
Not completely sure how it would go but I know that it would involve a cucumber, a roll of duct tape, midget, and 200 yards of rope.  If you think about it really writes itself.

You’re forced to pick between the 49ers and the Wolf Pack…which do you pick and why?
I say both because I need my football on Saturdays and Sundays.

Aside from the moment when I beat you in fantasy football, what are you most looking forward to about this football season?
49ers winning the Super Bowl and beating you twice in Fantasy Football.

Either way you look at it, I’m sure you can see why it’s a great day around here.  Here’s hoping you’ve found something worth celebrating, too.
