Scott’s parents are cleaning out their basement and in the process we get the random things that Scott accumulated in his childhood. So far we got a large collection of tapes (Jimmy Buffet, Dance Mix, bird sounds etc), an old guitar and a box of random papers and things. In the box I found many things that made me laugh, some until I was crying. Let me tell you some examples…
- a cookie recipe- Scott was so excited to find this cookie recipe because he says it makes the best cookies, what kind of kid (boy) saves a cookie recipe!? Anyways that’s not the funny part, I read the ingredients and came across something I could not make out and I asked Scott what it said, “chips” he replied after glancing at it, I started laughing my head off, Scott had spelled it ‘cips’ and there is no way I would ever have been able to figure out that that is what it said! Scott’s not the best speller in the world.
-I also found a salad dressing recipe, which he was REALLY excited to find.
-And then I came across a notebook, the cover read ’stuff to by’, and following on the first page was a LONG list of things that Scott wanted to buy, and if he got them he crossed them out, lets just say that not very many things were crossed out. Here are some examples:- mini touch lamp, 1 more N64 controller, Banjo-Kazooie, a door lock for room (if allowed) [crossed out!! hahaha I wonder if this is because he wasn't allowed, or if he got it], beanie babies, 12 function computer [anyone know what this is?], a Canada bond. The list goes on and on with many other things such as lots of speakers -40 watt, 30 watt, 100 watt and 50 watt [he must have had large music plans]. Let me tell you I was laughing so hard as I read this list out loud to him, I don’t think he got what was so funny. What a funny boy! And as I write this he’s outside making a ball catcher contraption out of wood and canvas, I’ll let you know how it turns out.
And since my birthday is the next of all the five blondes I present to you my birthday wish list! Just a few things that I can think of that I would love to be presented with on my 23rd birthday (on July 31st! The middle of summer).
- A bike helmet, so I can feel safer when I am biking.
- New irons for golfing, because mine are so very old, and last time I took lessons (in university) the instructor said my clubs are dead. If thats not a good excuse I don’t know what is! Plus Scott got me a new putter last year and my old clubs are brining my golf style down. haha
- New clothes, oh yes new clothes. I feel like I need to be on a makeover show because many of the clothes I wear are years old, and really should be replaced. But I guess thats what happens when new clothes are not on the top of your priority list!
- A pretty pie plate! I love me some homemade pie especially when I can bake it in a cute dish!

i’m making strawberry pie right now! i have a favourite pie dish…but they’re something you can never have enough of! i want to have a little quirky pie plate collection
I’m not sure this actually makes sense, since you are in fact all Canadian. However, I am giving all my favourite blogs my new “Honourary Canucklehead’ awards and I would hate for you girls to be left out. You are of course allowed to both decline and/or pass on as you see fit. Oh, you can get the award here:

I hope you get the pie plate of your dreams. Cheers!

Did Scott want a canada savings bond? That is soo funny! Kent has tons of boxes at his parents and his mom keeps bugging him to get rid of everything. I think it would be really funny.. the only one I’ve seen is full of love letters and pictures of ex girlfriends, haha!
haha Scottie is such a weirdo. We have like 4 pie plates in Ottawa, even though 3 out of 4 of us don’t even like pie.
Ummm… so the b-day wish list is too heavy, literally, your twin here on the other side of the Atlantic does not have enough money for the postage that a pie pan is gonna require… how about a pressed flower? or a pretty stamp? hahaha a couple feathers? hahaha Just kidding, I’ll figure something out! Love you!
Stef I am so happy to see your name on here!
