Date Movie and cigars

As I was getting ready to leave work yesterday, I received this picture from Lisa and Bob on their vacation in Vegas with the caption "this is only half of the humidor, don't be jealous".Well, yeah, after the Star Wars slots the other day and then this, I have to go...

















Last night Kim and I went to see Date Movie at the Regal Cinema in OP which was okay. Neither one of us really liked even close to as much as we liked Grandma's Boy. While there were some funny parts, the best stuff is in the previews. Although I nearly pissed myself at one of the parts of the movie.

We went to Denny's before travelling to the reservation so that I could pick up some cigars for tonight at the casino. I had a fish sammich, and while it tasted it good...

IT COMPLETELY PUNISHED ME.

One of the many things that I love about Kim is that a simple trip to the reservation for gas and cigars can turn into a special occasion. We left Denny's and took the thruway there and decided to crank up the Tom Jones music and she and I wound up singing to each other like only two complete dorks would do. (Ha Ha, I've turned her to the "Dork" side.)

Then, I received another message from Bob with this picture. Yeah, I've got to get my head outta my ass and start living life ;)

Stuff like this is way to cool to miss out on.

Old Farts club

It was Bob's birthday over the weekend.

Kim and I went over to Bob and Lisa's apartment on Friday and met up with Michele and Bryan. Lisa threw Bob a Bob the Builder (tm) party.

I nearly choked to death while Lisa told us all a story.

He and Lisa left for Vegas yesterday. Lisa took this picture for me with her digital camera and I had to post it.

Now I know my mission in life...

I must go to Vegas and play this game :D



Hey look, it's Bob and Lisa in the reflection of the window. :)

Valentine's Day with Kim

Well, hmm what can I say about Valentine's Day...
Best one EVER

I have to admit that a year ago, I would have laughed in anyone's face if they said that not only would be in an incredible relationship, but that I would have been looking forward to Valentine's Day.

Originally, Kim and I were going to have a nice Valentine's day with candle light tv trays setup in her room, but then her parents went out to dinner.

Kim made me an incredible dinner of spaghetti parm(esean). She setup the table for a nice romantic meal which made everything even nicer.

I left work at 3:05 which was amazing for me. I even got a couple of reminder text messages to make sure that I left work from Bob who was in a meeting at the time. He knew Kim woulda kicked my ass if I left at my normal time.

Besides, I had a ton of running around to do ;) I made a couple of stops in between work and Kim's for dinner. I stopped over at the Party City type shop and picked up a crapload of balloons. Yeah, I was actually seriously nervous this time driving since the girl filling 'em probably decided it would be funny if she filled them so much that they popped on the way over to Kim's. I probably would have crapped my pants and crashed if one of them did pop.

I also picked up about 18 tulips which looked nice. Unfortunately, I left my memory card at work to print the picture of us at Bob and Lisa's wedding. (My favorite picture of the two of us.)
I found a princess pillow and blanket set that I knew that she'd like. I even found a mushy card AND remembered to give it to her ON Valentine's Day. I kinda messed up on Kim's birthday and gave her the nice card I bought a couple of days late. I also ran out of time to do some of the other things that I wanted to do. Then again, I've got to save some things for our one year anniversary next month. ;)

Kim surprised me as well with a nice frame with the same picture that I was going to give Kim. She also bought me a Simpson's DVD and Sabres tickets against the Carolina Hurricane's next month on the 22nd.

It was a GREAT night ;)

It's not unusual...

Kim and I had an incredible time at the "Tom Jones" concert. While the seating could have been a little bit better, the food was good and was worth it. We both decided that we would go back again if they had another concert.

I made a Tom Jones CD for Kim and she's been listening to it constantly which surprised the crap outta me. Kim's even been subjecting Michele and her Mom to listening to it while she's driving.

I had just put my new cool Treo 700 away so I wasn't able to take the picture of Kim and "Tom" singing together. Kim was singing along to "What's New Pussycat" as he came around in the croud. Unfortunately, this was the best picture that I was able to take during the show. We sat with this woman and her husband during the dinner portion of the night.

















After the show, we went back to the hotel and watched part of the new movie that we picked up a couple of days before. ;)

The next day, after talking to Chris and Dawn, we decided to go to the Seneca Casino for the breakfast buffet which was cool. The food was great, and then I won $ 150.00 playing Monopoly slots.

After that, we went to the Niagara Falls and froze our asses off. It seemed like a warm enough day, but really wasn't that warm once we got near the Falls. We're going back once it's a little bit warmer out.

Super Bowl Sunday

Well, I don't know if the NFL is going to fine me for posting to my blog, but we'll see...

Anyhow, the day started out really weird, so weird that I need to get it out there.

I had a dream that pretty much my friends hated me. Okay, that's the short boring version...

In the dream, Kim and I were together with Bob, Lisa, Bryan and Michele and for some reason they were all surrounding me (don't ask why, it was a dream). Bob started it out by telling me that he and Lisa only asked me to hang out with them out of sheer pity and nothing else. They felt bad that I was such a "pathetic loser" that they felt sorry for me and asked me to hang out. He then told me that I wasn't worth having around at work since I never seem to be able to get anything done.

Michele and Bryan told me that they only ever wanted me around when it suited Kim's needs and that they were only being nice as a favor to Kim and that it became increasinly hard to fake their friendship.

Kim then told me that the only reason why we were going out was because she had a bet going for the low value price of $1.00 that she could pretend to fall in love with me and then essentially crush me like a bug. She then got the dollar (from somewhere) held it out in front of me and said that we were through and how could I ever expect anyone to love me.

After all that was done, I told Dan and Chris and Dawn what had happened, they just told me that I brought it on myself for ever thinking that I could be happy and that since I turned my back on them, that they didn't care about what had happened to me.

So naturally, I woke up all freaked out about the dream, but I wasn't really sure what the hell to do about it. All of the natural (Scott natural anyways) reactions came up which was maybe some of this was true at least on some level. I kept telling myself that I was clearly insane, but an annoying part of my brain kept holding onto the dream...

Then, Kim and I went to church.

I mostly forgot about the dream until the Pastor's sermon then it all came crashing down around me, I was blown away by the topic which was surrounding yourself with friends, lonliness, and having a hole in your heart. (Yes, for those of you paying attention, they played Extreme's Hole-Hearted during the service.)

It made for a weird morning, after helping my sister with her computer and her phone, Kim and I watched part of the Super Bowl and had some great food that her Mom made. Although, those were the smallest chicken wings I've ever seen. :D

Coyote Cafe

Kim and I went out to eat at the Coyote Cafe on Friday, unfortunately Kim wasn't feeling too great. The service was incredible, the food was nice and hot and it almost arrived too fast for me to enjoy my guacamole and chips.

After dinner we went to the reservation for gas and cigars, and then to see Michele at Friendly's for some ice cream with all the fixin's. :D

 

Valentine's Day Special

I thought that this was great when I saw it at WalMart, so I pulled out my trusty Phone / PDA / Camera and took a picture.

Nuthin' says luvin, like somebody in the oven :D

 

Niagara Falls and Valentine's Day

So, yes, true believers, I'm back ;)

Believe me, It hasn't been due to anything bad, things have just been crazy with the holidays. Don't worry about it, I'm gonna make up for it and start posting all of the cool stuff that Kim and I have been up to.

This weekend was an interesting one to say the least.

Friday, I got to see Kim and Lisa kinda drunk. For those of you out there who wanted the answer to the eternal question of...

Does Denny's sell Tuna Melts, the answer is...

No :(

Saturday, Kim and I helped Bob and Lisa with their new house. I helped Bob and his father in law Stan, with relocating the attic door which was cool.

AND

I got to play with electricity. (mwhahahahaha) :D
Well, I got to play with a little bit of electricity, Bob taught me about wiring which was again, cool. Always love learning new stuff. And once again, it's always nice NOT to get laughed at for not knowing how to do something.

Well, after Kim and I got into a pretty huge arguement on Sunday. We went to visit her brother's house for a birthday party. Afterwards, we decided to make the trip from Eden to the reservation so that I could pick up a couple of cigars. After we stopped at Big Indian, we went to the gas station that Kim's Dad goes to for cigarettes and gas, since he knew that they sold cigars and thought that I'd be interested. Even though they didn't have ANYTHING really for cigars, we inadvertantly found our Valentine's plans.

We're going to see a Tom Jones impersonator at the Quality Inn in Niagara Falls. The tickets are $22.50 a piece and then 25 dollars more for a room at the hotel which is an incredible deal. I thought that this place wasn't going to be anything more than a roach motel.

Kim picked me up at work, and after waiting around for almost an hour while I was trying to work with Dell on a replacement part. She told me that she had a surprise for me.

When we got out to her car, she surprised me with these balloons which was really nice of her to think of. It's funny, because I was the jackass, and she brought me a nice surpirse. She wanted to surprise me with them like I do for her. Hell, she text messaged both Lisa and Bob, because she was going to have them delivered to work for me.


Kim and I went out to dinner tonight at Chili's and then decided to check out this hotel to see if it would be worth doing. It sucks that Kim knows what we're doing, because I wanted to completely surprise her, but it's still going to be cool. Plus, she doesn't know EVERYTHING that I'm planning on doing ;)

Holy Crap, it's gonna be a great time. It's right across from the Niagara Falls and it seems like a nice place. We're both really excited about it.

After that, we walked around the Falls for a little while and it was great just to be together.

Monsters Inc on Ice

Kim and I went to Monster's Inc on ice. We met up with Bob and his Mom, Lisa and her Mom, Bryan and Michele at Chef's. (Holy crap do I love that place.)


The show was cool, Kim and I had a great time. It's funny because we sat two rows behind Bryan and Michele and Kim bought their tickets for a Christmas present about a week and a half before I bought Kim's tickets.

Unfortunately, this was one of the best pictures that I took.

I went a little crazy that night and bought Kim and my niece Drew a Boo snowcone souvenir cup. I bought my nephew Gage a Mike Wizowski cup. How could I not buy myself a Sully mug.
So yeah, I officially spent more on snowcones than I did dinner at Chef's.

After we were finally able to leave the parking garage, we stopped over at Virgil's and then to the water. :) 

New Years Eve at Samuel's Grand Manor

Last year at this time, I was recovering from drinking way too much at Bob and Lisa's New Years Eve party.

In case anyone's curious, this was last year...


And this is was this year. (Bob and Bryan decided to leave me the stupid Harry Potter NYE cone party hat.)

Yes, I actually wore a tie.

The funny thing is that I can't tie a freakin' tie and I got a crash course which was actually pretty damn funny. I'm a little bit more lively this year.

Kim and I got the dinner and hotel package which was nice because it included shuttle service to and from the hotel to the dinner. Not to mention that it allowed us both to drink.

The dinner was great and we all had a good time.

Kim's Birthday

Happy 25th Birthday Kim

I took the day off for Kim's birthday. In case anyone was confused by that, I really did take the day off. Everyone at work was just as shocked.

I got up early so that I could get stuff for Kim's birthday, but it didn't work out that well due to some calls from work.

So, I got to party city as early as I possibly could while Kim had her nails done and I bought her two dozen balloons and a Cinderella balloon which is amazingly still floating. I stopped at her house and left them in her room to surprise her while she was getting her nails done. Then, I went to this other place and bought an additional two dozen. Kim called me while I was getting the second batch and was disappointed because I wasn't there yet. I told her that I was around the corner and would be there as soon as I possibly could.

Then, I showed up with the other balloons and the look on her face was funny as hell. She just looked at me and said "You bought MORE of them". Her phone rang and she went to her parents bedroom to get the phone and did a double take as she walked by her door and saw everything in there.

Kim and I were going to meet her Dad out for a birthday lunch and then were a little too distracted to pay attention to the time. Although, Michele and Bryan stopping by to give Kim her gift was funny as hell.

I know that she had a Happy Birthday, and it was great just spending the day together.

Christmas 2005

Merry Christmas Everybody

I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas. I know that Kim and I did.

I'll be the first to admit , I was nervous as hell about our first Christmas together. I was a bit paranoid that I screwed up and didn't get the right gifts. I bought Kim a beautiful diamond shoe necklace. I went Christmas shopping with Michele a couple of weeks before because I knew she would help me find the right gift.

It's funny, we figured it out and we bought each the other the same number of gifts which I didn't expect. Kim bought me a really nice bracelet and a whole ton of Star Wars gifts and other cool stuff.

Christmas was interesting because I was over at her house for an hour or two and then Kim and I went to Dan's for Christmas dinner. (Sorry Dan that it took so long for you to meet Kim.)

Kim also got to watch my mad video game skillz as Dan and I played the new WWE PS2 game.

Maggie

My parents bought themselves and early Christmas gift.

Here's the latest edition to our family, Maggie.

This is one of the only pictures where she's actually not biting :D
















I sent the pictures to Lisa so that she could see Maggie and she gave her a nickname of Maggnadoodles. Yeah, I hated the name since the first Scotty was my dog named Molly, and she later had a puppy named Aggrivation (Aggy). I didn't want to name the dog either Molly or Aggy, so Maggie was supposed to be a decent compromise.

















The first week was REALLY rough, I wasn't sleeping that well to begin with because I was having so many problems with my teeth causing insane amounts of pain. Then, Maggie was howling at night.

Then, I had the idea to buy an alarm clock so I went running around trying to find one just so that I could try and get some sleep. If anyone EVER asks if that trick works, it does. :D
(I couldn't believe it.)

Happy Halloween and stuff...

I wanted to wish everyone out there a Happy Halloween.

On Friday, Kim and I went with Bryan and Michele to the House of Horrors and Haunted Catacombs on Dick Road and George Urban after an unfortunate incident with the Haunted Hay Ride in Hamburg. (Long story, they're stupid, the end...)

The House of Horrors was cool not too many strobe lights (woo hoo), but the Haunted Catacombs had darkness and STROBE LIGHTS in a bunch of mazes. Kim led me by the hand throughout most of the Haunted Catacombs since I could watch the strobes. :(

Last night, Kim and I went with Bryan and Michele to Doyle's Annual Fall Dance. For one of the first times I got to see Kim on the verge of being drunk. (If she actually was drunk, it didn't really seem like it.) Everyone brought an insane amount of food (good thing I watched my weight watchers points up until then.) We met up with Kim's friend Lynn and her other friends there. Lynn's Dad is part of the firehall.

After the dance, we went to the Anchor Inn on William for a little while. It was surprisingly packed in there and almost everyone inside had a costume on.

Bills / Jets Game

Yes, true believers, Kim and I went to a Bills game.

Kim bought her and Lisa the pink Bills hats to wear at the game. Bob and Lisa invited us to start tailgating on Saturday night after going to Letchworth with Michele and Bryan. (Sweetest day, and holy crap was it SWEET.) Bob and I went to Wegmans at almost two AM just to get medication for the ladies. You know you're getting old when you're buying over the counter drugs for your girlfriend.

As we were going into the game, they both decided to take a picture with a monkey. For once, the monkeys weren't Bob and I.

Letchworth State Park on Sweetest Day

Kim and I spent the day with Michele and Bryan at Letchworth State Park. We had a nice picnic lunch and then walked around in the mud at the park which was cool. Since I've never been there before, I didn't know exactly what to expect. It was really cool.

Just look at the view...


Here's me and my sweetie :D


Just look at the freakin' view, it was incredible. I couldn't believe it, I can't wait to go back, once it's a little less muddy, of course...


While it was cold and muddy, I know that Kim and I had a hell of a lot of fun on our pic-i-nic.

I had this picture setup really nice of the four of us, but the woman that was nice enough to take the picture kinda screwed-it-up. (It's still a nice picture though.)


All I can say is we're going back next year :D

Happy Birthday, Me :D

Yep, I'm getting old :D
33 years, in fact...

Kim took me to Dave and Busters (which is the coolest place ever). It's Chuck E Cheese's for Adults. Bob and Lisa and Michele and Bryan met us there to help celebrate my birthday (thanks again everybody, I had a hell of a lot of fun and it meant alot to me).

Michele and Bryan were showing Kim and I their MAD skillz with a Dance Dance Revolution clone.


Bryan and Michele from the front.


And yeah, to anyone out there who really knows me, knows how I don't like people singing Happy Birthday to me. Well, yeah, everyone decided that my feelings on that didn't matter a whole hell of a lot. (And yes, it was kinda nice of everyone to embarrass the shit out of me.)

I'm wearing the cool shirt that Kim bought me for my birthday.

Camping at Rainbow Lake

Bob and Lisa invited Kim and I to their RV for Columbus day.
In this picture, Bob (off camera) farted, Lisa's choking to death from it and his own Mom had to get the hell away. :D

Actually, the smoke (from the fire, not Bob and me having cigars) was moving in every direction and bothering everyone.

Well, no weekend of camping (and my Birthday weekend) would be complete unless I had a couple of cigars, so I here I am.


Sunday night, Bob, Lisa, Kim and I went to the "Terror in the Trees" or something like that in Springville. It was okay, but I didn't do so well with the strobe lights. I kept hiding my head in my sweater as everyone told me Scotty, strobes ahead. I think that the funniest part of that was the fact that Lisa kept telling everyone popping out of the woods that she was gonna cut them and make them bleed.

While we were going back to the campsite, I drove Bob's truck 'cause I wasn't feeling to well, so thanks to my Springville driving skillz, we went by this one house that had every single Halloween blowup lawn decoration EVER made.

Bob took Kim and Lisa's picture in front of all the stuff.

Seneca Falls Casino

Kim and I went to the Seneca Falls Casino with Bob and Lisa last night. We had an insane amount of dinner at the buffet, and I have to say some of it was great, some of it was complete shit. (Catfish = good, beer battered haddock = bad)

Since last night was the first time that I ever stepped into a casino, I didn't exactly know what to expect. My dad gave me 5 dollars to play for him and it disappeared in less than 2 minutes. After that I was really hesitant to spend any more money.

Kim hit it BIG last night, first on the Garfield slot machine where she got a total of 76 dollars and Lisa had to pull her away. Then, she asked Bob and I for help with Roulette, it was a 15 dollar minimum bid and as we were trying to place chips, I put 4 down on 19 which won. Kim won a total of 144 dollars there.

I know that we had fun last night and I'd go back if Bob and Lisa ever felt like going back.

Just a note for everyone, I am kinda sick of all the crap autoresponder posts that I've been getting, so in order to post, you have to put in a verification code. Sorry if it makes it a pain in the ass for anyone...

Labor Day

That's a day when we're all supposed to work, right..? :)

Despite the slow start to the day, Kim and I had a nice day. I stopped out at the reservation for gas and cigars. I picked up Kim and we went to Shores for dinner and ate a huge amount of good food. After dinner, we went back to our usual hangout at the Marina. I think that we had one of our best talks EVER that night.

Kim told me what she wants to do for my birthday next month. She's got reservations at Salvitore's Italian Gardens and the Garden Place hotel which I think is going to be fun. She is also planning on something big with Bryan and Michele, Bob and Lisa which is gonna be cool too. I don't know what it's going to be, but it should be a hell of a lot of fun. :)
