The Love MeMe

I found this meme over at Keeper Of The Skies Wife, who to this day has THE most romantic blogger name I've seen.

She did it right and posted it on Valentine's Day. I blow and am posting it now. But ya know what? I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Valentine's Day is really just a plot by the diamond, flower and chocolate companies to get you to buy shit for your women! At least that's what my husband keeps telling me ;)

♥ What are your middle names?
I have none, his starts with an E. And I didn't say none because I'm embarressed by it. I really have no middle name. I guess my parents thought my name would be complicated enough.

♥ How long have you been together?
Almost 16 years...married 9 1/2.

♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Technically, like 2 weeks. But we were only around each other about 3 days before our first date.

♥ Who asked who out?
D had his friend ask for my phone number and we met at a coffee shop for a record spin. Don't ask. It was a mod thing which my sister and her husband were into and that's where all our friends in common were going.

♥ How old are each of you?
He's just turned 36 and I'm 33, 34 next month.

♥ Whose siblings do/ did you see the most?
Mine. She lives in the same town as us and his brother lives on the other side of the country. Although I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind much if it was the other way around.

♥ Do you have any children together?
Two. An 8 year old bee-you-tiful little girl and cutest 6 year old boy you've ever seen.

♥ What about pets?
A dog named Stanley

♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Everyday stresses are always hard. Like money, jobs and family issues. That's why we try to be the others sense of calm and understanding. We anchor each other well.

♥ Did you go to the same school?
Nope. Opposite ends of the country actually.

♥ Are you from the same home town?
Nope. Opposite ends of the country actually.

♥ Who is the smartest?
Oh shit. If I ever want to get laid again I should say he is. Wait, who am I kidding. I could say he's a dumbass dork wad and I'd still get laid. I'd say we're equals intelligence wise. He knows shit I don't and vice versa.

♥ Who is the most sensitive?
Uh, he's a man and I'm a women. Guess.

♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
We don't really have a regular type place. I guess El Pollo Loco. Cause we all fancy and shit.

♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Kauai

♥ Who has the worst temper?
He does. Fo sho.

♥ Who does the cooking?
Me. But he can cook. He's not a doofus in the kitchen or anything. He makes a mean manicotti. (And by the way. Don't pronounce it like it looks. He's italian and from the east coast. You have to say manny-got)

♥ Who is more social?
Definitely him. I'm the shy wallflower.

♥Who is the neat Freak?
I think both of us but in different ways. Like, I like the dishes done and everything picked up and put away but don't care about the deep, deep cleaning so much, accept every so often. He likes the sliding doors and mirrors windexed but will leave his shit laying all over the place.

♥ Who is the more stubborn?
Gonna have to go with both of us.

♥ Who hogs the bed?
Stanley

♥ Who wakes up earlier?
Definitely him. His body clock gets him up by 4:00am most days.

♥ Where was your first date?
Didn't we already go through this? A record spin at a coffee shop.

♥ Who has the bigger family?
Um, I'd say me.

♥ Do you get flowers often?
He goes in spurts. Lately I've been getting fresh flowers every Thursday cause there's a farmer's market near his office on Thursdays. He gets hot carrots and flowers.

♥ How do you spend the holidays?
Thanksgiving is usually my family and both of our friends. Christmas Eve's are usually with my family and Xmas days are spent within our own little family.

♥ Who is more jealous?
Me! He doesn't have a jealous bone in his body. Over confident little shit.

♥ How long did it take to get serious?
A few weeks.

♥ Who eats more?
He does. But he's not a pig or anything.

♥ Who does/ did the laundry?
Me. Unless I'm sick or he's running out of clothes.

♥ Who’s better with the computer?
Him. Mos def. It's what he does for a living. I have my own personal IT guy.

♥ Who drives when you are together?
Me. He drives 45 minutes each way back and forth to work so he's done with driving when he gets home.
