The things you learn.

Since Brian has made all the posts thus far, I figured it was my turn to contribute to "our" blog.

When you have been with someone for so long you think you know everything about them, but little did we know the learning had just begun. Here are a few of the amusing events we have gone through together. And I'm sure there will be many more to follow.
Let's start with our first trip to the grocery store. Remember we have nothing in the apartment to eat. As we are strolling along in the store Brian feels that it would only make sense to get a "few things" tonight and then we will come back tomorrow and get the rest. Ok, so i can understand stopping to get bread, milk, cheese, ice cream, and brownies (the essentials for us) if you already have food at the house, but we don't. I reply with, "Why would we do that? Why not get everything now so we would not have to come back again?" So, i figured it's not even worth arguing over we will just come back. He's definitely a Scott--making things difficult when they don't have to be. So, as we proceed in the store we realize that we both like to go through the store in the totally opposite way. I like to go all the way around the perimeter and then go up and down the aisles. Most of my time spent shopping in the grocery consisted of me with my mamaw and aunt who are both legally blind. This rotation worked for them and we were able to get everthing we needed without forgetting things. So, this is how I'm used to doing it. Brian on the other hand, likes to go up and down the aisles without going around the perimeter first. So, it only seemed fair that we did it my way, since we were only "getting a few things."

For those of you who do not know Brian that well, he seems to like to leave a string of clothes throughout the house. I mean are you serious? Being the neat freak I am that drives me crazy. For some reason I found that Brian would lay the MAJORITY of his clothes in a certain corner instead of putting them in the hamper. So, i asked him about it and he said " well, I would put them in the hamper if it were here." Ok, so put a hamper there!! My favorite story is when Brian gave me a few pointers on how to be organized...yeah, go a head and laugh because I did! The Scotts came up with a great idea of pinning your socks together so you always have the match, which I think is great. So, I have converted to pinning all my socks together. The other day I was unpinning my socks and I layed the pin down on the coffee table. Brian decided to give me an organizational tip of the day...so here ya go...put your pins in your room so you don't lose them. OK Brian thank you!

Do you remember the times whenever your parents needed to borrow your car and you always volunteered yours when you had no gas? Unfortunately, I never was able to take advantage of that because my other sisters either beat me too it or my dad was having to go get gas because they ran out on the side of the road. So, a few days ago I had no gas in the car. I decided that I should "figure out" who got the best gas mileage between our two cars. Or at least that was my excuse. It just so happened that Brian had just filled up my car the same day we decided to switch. Little did he know, he was left with a tank on empty.
