My brother turned TWENTY-SIX yesterday!!! Why am I such a bad sister that I am just now posting this? Because yesterday was a very, very hectic day for me. But I *DID* call him... but he jumped off the phone with me so that he could go buy freaking lottery tickets.
Anywho, I've decided that I am going to post a list of interesting facts about my brother:
1. As a baby, Ian was so lazy that he had to be forcefed all his food.
2. As a toddler, Ian was able to shove an ENTIRE banana, whole, down his throat.
3. As a toddler, he once tried his banana gimmick with a breadstick. It did not end well.
4. As a kid, Ian had the following in his bedroom: a TV, an alarm clock radio, a nintendo, an armchair, a rock polisher, themed bedsheets, and his *own* dresser. I had two other siblings in my room and I shared a dresser AND a bed. That's about all that was in our room.
5. As a kid, Ian loved ALL. THINGS. WEATHER. To include, God help me, the Weather CHANNEL.
6. As a kid, Ian had me shave his head with a razor. We then went to the pool. Mom had made Ian promise to wear sunscreen on his head, which was so white it was blue. Ian agreed. When we got to the pool, I reminded him and he said, "I'm not putting that crap on my head." Ian then got sunpoisoning and his head blistered up like nothing I've ever seen in my entire 28 years.
7. Ian had to go to football practice with said blistered head.
8. That same summer, coming home from football practice, Ian got to be on the news for a storm that came through. He wore a baseball hat so no one saw his freaky blistered head.
9. Ian talked SO much to the news on his favorite subject, the weather, they cut his ass OFF.
10. At 16, Ian got his license AND a car. I wasn't allowed to get my license until I was 18 and MOVED OUT.
11. Ian has unusually large lips.
12. Ian picked the ABSOLUTE perfect person for him as a mate.
13. Ian used to make the best pot of candied spaghetti sauce known to man... of course, it was the ONLY pot of candied spaghetti sauce known to man.
14. Ian loves him some Emeril.
15. Ian is very close to reaching his dream of being very settled, crabby middle-aged guy who measures the fertilizer potency of his yard's soil.
16. Ian does NOT cook better than ME.
17. Ian is a great uncle.
18. Ian talks ALOT.
19. Ian never uses his blog, which ticks me off.
20. He always smells faintly of garlic and green peppers.
21. I LOVE my brother very, very much.
