Belated Valentine's Day meme
I have passed the point of *really* loving being home alone and am ready to have my husband and kids back, so it seems a good time to finally fill this in. I found it most recently on Sandra's blog.
1. What is his name? Frank
2. How long have you been together? As a couple, 22 years last January 29th. As friends, a year or two more than that.
3. How long did you date? 22 years and counting ('though there have been dry spells)
4. How old is he? 59
5. Who eats more? It varies from meal to meal. He definitely eats more gummi bears. :-)
6. Who said "I love you" first? He did, by about 10 seconds.
7. Who is taller? I am.
8. Who can sing better? He can, definitely, and he does some terrific singer impersonations.
9. Who is smarter? Frank retains information WAY better than I do and he tends to be more logical, although that's a closer call. He's definitely better at spatial stuff (see #12 below). I am probably smarter in social and emotional situations.
10. Who does the laundry? I do, and woe betide any who interfere. Except when the basement floods and the laundry pile gets soaked while I'm at work; then I'm thrilled to have assistance.
11. Who pays the bills? I do, being far too anal to tolerate his rounding the checkbook balance to the nearest five dollars.
12. Who sleeps on the right side? Facing the head or the foot of the bed? (This is why small children have trouble learning left and right!) Facing the foot, I sleep on the right.
13. Who mows the lawn? Frank does. Or I hire MJ or a neighbor kid.
14. Who cooks dinner? Frank does.
15. Who drives? Around town, I do mostly. On roadtrips, he does more of it.
16. Who is more stubborn? Ohhh, that's a toughie. We both have our moments and might tend to give opposite answers to this question. I'll go with "He is."
17. Who kissed who first? I think he made the move, but it was definitely mutual.
18. Who asked who out first? I had just broken up with my boyfriend and he offered to take me out to a sympathy lunch. (It was a date really.)
19. Who proposed? There was no proposal. We started talking about getting married about two weeks into our relationship, even though it took us more than four years after that to get to the altar.
20. Who has more friends? I do, but the numbers have evened out since LIFE is Good.
21. Who is more sensitive? To noise and emotional turmoil, I am. To stress and conflict, he is. Then again, stress and conflict wig me out pretty bad. Maybe it's a tie.
22. Who has more siblings? We both have three, but he should have four.
23. Who wears the pants? He would probably say I do, but if so, he wears the suspenders and the underwear. And he's the body that keeps it all together.

I enjoyed reading this ever so much! I especially loved the part of what side you sleep on - you sleep at the foot or head? That rocks! :)
"you sleep at the foot or head?"
LOL. No! I meant I have no idea what side of the bed is the right side. :-)
ROFL! Now that makes it even MORE funny! I think we should do this!!
Gosh! This is lovely. Guess I'd better copy it over and do *my* version. I love you!
It's good to be home.
