Honest Scrap Award Tag

Amber tagged me a LOOOONNGGG time ago. I am to list 7 things about me people might not know and have 7 other bloggers do the same. So here they are....

1. I have serious issues with paper towels. The texture of them really bothers me. When i think about the texture it makes me throw up in my mouth a little, kind of like when people run their nails down a chalkboard. If my hands are dry I won't even come near the things. Booo!


2. I LOVE going to used DVD/CD/Book stores. We have one called Entertainmart and I can never walk out of there without spending less than $50. The place is huge and I always start walking up and down each isle one by one but then all of a sudden a movie I have been looking for will pop in my head so I have rush over to that letter, then I go back to where I left off before until I think of another and then I have to rush over to that letter. It takes me a long time to get through that store. We only go about once every 3 or 4 months.

3. I am a serious homebody. I love to be at home and kind of going along with that I HEART pajamas. I would live in pajamas if I could. There is nothing better than coming home from a long day at work and putting on your favorite comfy PJ's. I can't start anything else once I get home until I have thrown on a good pair of sweats. I'm such a bum!

4. I love eating in bed. This might go along with #3 but oh well. That is really gross I know and I am really trying to be better about this especially with trying to get in shape. I haven't done it in a while...seriously. I haven't!...but WHEN I did I loved to have Oreos and Milk right before bed. Man this tag is kind of making me seem like a big, nasty, lazy, slob...

5. I am completely fascinated by celebrities! I think their lifestyle is interesting and I like to read about them and what they are doing. I love love to see what they wear to big red carpet events and see the gorgeous dresses that they have!

6. I DO NOT like to cook. I am really hoping that changes once I am not working and we start having kids. I hope to learn how to do it better and actually enjoy it. I think the real reason I don't like it is because I STINK at it!

7. I really want to learn to play the guitar and piano. I have taken piano lessons a few times so I know the basics but I would really like to take more lessons to become more fluent!

So there you have it. Now I am going to give this award to: Anyone who is feeling the need to...

6th File, 6th Picture Tag

Rachelle tagged me soooo here is what you do: open your pictures, go to the 6th file and pick the 6th picture, then post it and tell about it...so here you go:

I opened my pictures and went to my 6th file and the 6th picture was a picture of an Operating Room that Scot had to take for work and I just thought that was no fun so I decided to open my scans and go to the 6th file and the 6th picture was this one. The night this really bad picture was taken was an interesting one.

Some of you may have heard this story, some of you may even have been there (Mitzi Bitzi) and some of you are in for a little treat...So Scot and I were dating and it was the week that everyone was leaving for Christmas break 2003ish (2 whole weeks! Oh to be in college again!). Of course Scot and I wanted to have one last date before we had to part for that eternally long break so I came up with this brilliant idea that I was going to cook dinner for Scot (you know to show him that I was prime wife material and would be able to take great care of him if we were to get married...wink, wink). I called my mom (thanks a lot mom! You almost cost me my eternal future. j/k) and she told me to cook this chicken/rice/broccoli ensemble. She told me it was really easy and everyone likes it, you can't go wrong. So I go to Broulims and by all the ingredients and start whippin' that bad boy out. I'm just goin' along and getting pretty cocky because this is starting to look really good if I do say so myself. Suddenly I realized it was getting really late and I should probably get in the shower and get ready before my man gets there and sees me looking scraggly (gasp). As I was getting ready I was going back and forth between the bathroom and the kitchen, twirling and skipping around. So happy. I should also mention that I decided to make an apple crisp for dessert (I know, I know so Paula Dean of me) because it will be important to the story in a minute. Fast forward a little bit to Scot arriving for the big meal. Scot, Mitzi and I were like the three muskateers so we invited Mitzi to eat with us. We all sat down and said a little prayer to bless the food (little did we know were were going to need that more than we thought) and then we dug in. Well, Scot was the first one to find a big LOOOOONG blonde hair. Mortification! I could NOT believe it. Even though we were all kind of gagging a little we decided to forge ahead because of course there couldn't be more than one hair. We were wrong, Mitzi found the next hair. GAG. Then we get to the middle of the chicken...it was PINK. YAK! I had pretty much had it at that point. Just when I didn't think it could get ANY worse Scot reveals that he doesn't even like broccoli. NICE. OK so when dinner doesn't go well there is always dessert to bring up your spirits right? I opened the oven to check on my apple crisp but the top wasn't turning brown so Mitzi says "oh just turn the oven to broil for a couple minutes." So I decided that that sounded like a good idea so I cranked it over. While we were waiting we decided to watch a little T.V. After a few minutes it kind of started to stink a little...kinda burnt...I went over to check on my delicious dessert and lo and behold it was no longer a golden brown yummy apple crisp but an extremely black and charred apple crispy. That was the end of it for me. I looked at Scot and told him that he could take me for Ice Cream after the movie in Idaho Falls and we left. That's the last time I got ready while cooking. GROSS! Apparently Scot isn't really that in to eating because he still decided to marry me and I can't honestly say that my cooking skilss have gotten any better, don't even get me started on the time that I made sheppards pie...I think I just threw up in my mouth a little thinking about it.

Now I tag: Mitzi, Lisa, Devon and Lindsay

I Got Tagged!

I got tagged so here we go...

What is your husband's name?
Scot Wayne MacCabe

How long have you been together?
We dated for 2 1/2 years and have been married for 2 years and 9 months so over 4 years. WOW!

How long did you date?
2 1/2 years

Who eats more?
Unfortunately, I'd probably have to say me. Dangit.

Who said I love you first?
Scot did at Rigby Lake of all places and I think I was kind of shocked so of course as usual I made it sort of an ackward situation.

Who is taller?
Scot

Who has more speeding tickets?
Oh, that would be me even though he does deny going to traffic school! Ha.

Who is smarter?
Scot for sure.

Who is more sensitive?
Honestly, I'd have to say he is. I have the most caring husband in the world! He's wonderful.

When there is a fight who usually wins?
I definitely wouldn't say that anyone wins. In the end it usually comes out in a compromise or solution that both of us are happy with so no one wins or loses.

Who does the laundry?
I'd say we both do. I tend to like to do it just because I am picky about it but if I ask him to throw a load in or switch it out he is really good about it.

Who does the dishes?
Same answer as above, we both do the dishes. He is a fantastic guy I tell ya.

Who sleeps on the right?
It depends one which way you look at it but that would be Scot in my opinion and that's only because that's the side that the door is on and I told him when we moved in that he could have that side so the burglar can have him first. Ha.

Who pays the bills?
That would be Scot. He has a little system down and I wouldn't want to get in the way of that.

Who mows the lawn?
Supposedly the Home Owners Association but I probably saw them a total of 2 times last summer. They do a pretty good job though.

Who cooks dinner?
It's 50-50. Most of the time we cook together so no one person cooks more than the other. Otherwise usually Chik-fil-a cooks for us, or Qdoba or Chilis and sometimes even Texas Roadhouse cooks for us. That's always a good time.

Who drives when you are together?
Scot, I hate to drive (I conuquer Mitzi)

Who is more stubborn?
Me FOR SURE, No contest!

Who kissed whom first?
Scot kissed me first after a very loonnnng time so if there was a question on here about who is more patient I would have to answer me because I waited forever for him to hold my hand, I waited forever for him to kiss me, I waited forever for him to decide that he wanted to marry me! Jeez.

Who asked who out first?
Scot asked me out first. We went to the Haunted Mill in Rexburg, ID and I clothes lined myself on a pipe trying to run away from scary monster or something. That totally wasn't embarassing or anything.

Who proposed?
Scot did. It was perfect and I could not have been happier with the way it turned out even though it didn't go as he had planned!

Who has more siblings?
Scot does, he has 4 sisters and I am an only child.
