Scott's Top 25

Well, I have to say that 50 interesting things is too many. That last list was a pain in the butt! I've decided to scale back and try 25 for Scott. Who knows, maybe by the time I get to the kids it'll only be 10. ANYWAY.....

1. There is a bee bee lodged permanently into Scott's skull, right next to his eye (gives new meaning to the phrase "You'll shoot your eye out"). He got it playing a rousing game of deer and hunter. Guess which one Scott was...
2. One of Scott's legs is shorter than the other. He broke his femur tubing in the snow and never had it fixed properly.
3. Scott loves to watch educational TV. This drives me nuts. I believe that TV is for entertainment, not knowledge.
4. Scott can not go a single day without checking the bank account. Seriously, he usually calls me as I am leaving a store because he just watched the transaction take place on line.
5. Scott's favorite candies are chocolate covered peanuts and nibs.
6. In high school, Scott won the Mayor of Decleaterville (I think that is what it was called) Award. That is a football award given to the player with the most hard hits or something like that. It had something to do with the number of skull and cross bones on his helmet.
7. Scott can fix anything. He is so mechanical it is amazing. If he can't fix it, it isn't worth having.
8. Scott only had two serious girlfriends other than me. That is why when we got divorced, he needed to date around and try out a few other flavors.
9. Scott once tried to be a bull rider. The bull bucked him and then stomped on his calf. That was one of the worst bruises I have ever seen.
10. Scott remains calm and handles stressful situations with ease. When my mom wrecked her car with our boys in the back, he was as cool as a cucumber, while I completely LOST it!
11. Scott loves old cars and trucks. He has a 55 Ford pickup that he and his father fully restored hidden away in the garage. That baby only comes out when the weather and the roads are absolutely perfect.
12. Scott used to do gymnastics. When we first met, he could do front and back flips and front and back handsprings.
13. Scott tells people that he hates our dog Griffan, but when they are alone together, he secretly likes him.
14. Scott always lets me pick the movies we see. Whether I rent them, or we go to the theatre, he always lets me take control. I think that is so if the flick sucks, he isn't to blame.
15. Scott shaved his head once. His mom told him it looked awful and wondered if he was suffering from some form of depression. He hasn't been able to bring himself to do it again.
16. Scott goes out of his way to attend ALL of his kids activities. He sees all the games, performances, concerts, whatever.
17. Debt, to Scott, is like cryptonite to Superman. It makes him crazy and then some.
18. Scott is privately very pleased that all of our children came with his red hair. In fact, when they were born, he would take one look, say "Oh good, a red head- it must be mine." Like there was ever any question......
19. Scott is a bit of a mama's boy. He denies it, but it's true. It's okay though, I don't mind.
20. Scott is extremely protective of the things he holds dear, especially his family. If you cross him (or any of us and he is aware of it) you will find yourself on the poop list for life. He is not big on being burned twice.
21. Scott's all time favorite meal is a Victoria's Fillet, cooked medium well, at the Outback Steakhouse. DELICIOUS!!!
22. When he was a boy, Scott raised pigeons to show at the state fair. I think they even won.
23. One of Scott's biggest pet peeves is people who don't clip their nails (toe or finger) in the bathroom over a trash can. I will do it where ever I am at the time and then clean it all up and throw it away. It is enough to send him over the edge.
24. Scott never gives up. To him it isn't even an option. He prides himself on being a hard worker, a problem solver, and someone who gets the job done.
25. Scott is a full on freak when it comes to our kids bedtimes. They have got to be in bed on time or the world is coming to an end. The irony is that as much as he cares about them getting enough sleep, he doesn't get anywhere near the amount of sleep he needs.
