Random Tag

My cute friend Em G. tagged me- here's 7 random things about me (Heather)

1.I fell in the pool of a strangers house
This is one of my earliest memories! I was three, Jeremy and I were playing superman (I was Lois Lane of course) while my parents toured a house for rent with the owners. We were bending over the pool to scoop out ‘kryptonite’ water or something and I fell in headfirst! The pool vacuum was running at the time and swam right by my face- to this day I am TERRIFEID of pool vacuums. By the way, my dad jumped in and saved me. And we did rent the house.

(even putting this picture up made my heart beat fast! How sad!)

2. I walked down the stairs from the second floor of the Eiffel tower
As a 7 year old, I thought it was a great idea to walk down the Eiffel tower- just to say I did. My dad joined me on the quest and 700 stairs later we finished! It hurt.


3. I used to show rabbits in the fair
When I was about Jr. High age, I showed my mini-rex rabbits in the county fair a few years! My proudest moments: Miss Dotty bit the judge (still got a blue ribbon though!) and Scamper got Best of Breed (and chewed the top off of her pretty ribbon.) Those were the days. I hope Scott lets me get a bunny someday.

(this isn't a picture of my rabbit...but it looks a lot like them)

4. I have one nearsighted and one farsighted eye
I’ve shared this before, but I think it is too cool.

5. My hair is longer now than it has ever been in my life
It is so heavy! I give myself headaches every time I put it in a ponytail. I love it though; we’ll see how long I last.

6. I laugh out loud even if I’m alone
This is probably Scotts favorite discovery about me- it cracks him up. It usually happens when I’m reading…I will burst out laughing at something funny in the book and then laughing makes me laugh harder and I can’t stop. Silly.

7. I cry at the drop of a hat if I get hurt
This is probably Scotts least favorite discovery about me! If I get hurt even the tiniest bit, I cry a little...mostly because it scared me I think. Then, just like the laughing, crying makes me cry harder and I have a little moment. Then I'm done. So far it has happened when Scott knocked a power drill onto my foot (I have slow reflexes) and yesterday when I hit my head really hard on something. Not pretty. Sorry Scott.

I tag Jeremy (yes you my brother!)

Watch out...we're watching you

We went to the gateway to check out the new Tucano's for dinner (Scott's favorite). As we were walking Scott says "Hey! That's Memo". Sure enough- Mr. Okur. Man he's tall.

We were talking about how fun it was to see a famous rich person while we walked into the restaurant. We were seated at a table and all of a sudden Scott says "No Way!" and got a huge grin on his face. I followed his gaze, and sure enough, two tables away was THIS guy.

So cool! It was fun to watch people come in and see which ones recognized him. Wow- he has a PRESENCE.

When we left the restaurant, we were laughing about seeing TWO famous people when we turned the corner and...

I love newscasters and this gal is tops, so I was way excited! Scott recognized her too and we burst out laughing!
So we now have a new hobby...people watching.
