It wasn't enough for her to have me commenting on TWO blogs, adoring her every whim of the keyboard and my sending her the giveaway prize-- but she had to go and tag me too. (Shhhh. Just between us, I was happy to get tagged. I've been feeling a little left out).
So here's the meme Flea wants me to answer:
How long have you been together?
about a century. Actually, 11 or 12 years--laugh all you want, we had our 11th anniversary which means we're living our 12th year. We may make it to 13.
How long did you date?
You're supposed to date first?
How old is he?
Younger than me. By a LOT
Who said ‘I love you’ first?
He'll say me, I'll say I don't remember.
Who is taller?
He's six foot one and I'm 5'7 3/4".
Who is smarter?
On geeky things like computers, names of galaxies I will never see in my lifetime and Monty Python movies, he's tops.
On things that really matter like which actors have played Mr. Darcy, I win.
Who does the laundry?
Laundry is going in our home all day everyday. We have ridiculous doll-sized appliances over here and so no one can slack-- we all have a role in it of some kind.
Who does the dishes?
Whoever is closest. This is where the Sexy man rocks-- daily I will open up the dishwasher and find it empty and I'll say, "Oh, you Rahwk, Hubby!" even though he's gone to work. He'll unload it at 4:00 am before he goes to work. We both do sink dishes too.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
Right side looking at it or looking from it? I like to sleep diagonally, but that's only when he's deployed.
Who pays the bills?
HE DOES. I handled them for the first 8-9 years of our marriage, but then I realized there was some serious issues with him having what seemed to be way more free time than I. He does it all now. It took some getting used to, but what a relief!
Who mows the lawn?
Our landlord-- he insisted and we agreed. Thank goodness, it's the size of a golf course. Unfortunately, he sometimes mows our flowers as well. And I'm missing an ornamental bush too. Back in the states, we both did the mowing, but Hubby was the one to mow flowers.
Who cooks dinner?
I do most of it, but he's the Saturday Pancake Bomb. He also makes a cheesecake that people can't get enough of. He was a cook when I married him, so he can do the job, I just like to do it.
Who is more stubborn?
You have to ask?
Who kissed who first?
He kissed me when I was still stunned to learn he was NOT the age I assumed him to be!
Who asked who out?
Must've been him and it was to dinner in a Thai restaurant.
Who proposed?
We are so weird. We were talking about weddings and the kind we'd want to have and then one thing led to another about whether or not we could pull off the wedding we'd like by December... no actual proposal.
Who is more sensitive?
This is Flea's answer, and I'm sticking with it: "It is SOOO not me! I am NOT the girl here! The absent minded professor, yes. Never sensitive. Unless you touch me. Then we have a problem." However, I am a Gemini girl, and so the other me is super sensitive if you touch on any of my insecurities.
Now, Tag You're it. I don't want to pressure anybody, but I'd love to see answers from the blogs I frequent. Could you leave me a sticky note so that I'll know to come over and see your answers please? And YOU, Tara. I specifically tag you.

I just noticed the picture of you on the side! nice to SEE you! and I think we are the same height too. Funny. I'm about 30 sizes bigger than you though :)
ReplyDeleteAnd no way am I doing this without an actual tag. So there. :)
How did I miss this? I totally missed this post! I was so caught up in reading the one about your friend Lori, that I missed this! And tag Tara - she asked for it! What's this about my pancreas?
ReplyDeleteAww. That's so cute. He's younger huh, you cradle robber. Hmm. And, I'm anti-meme, but if you want to know some of the details, read the first 10 things on my 100 things.
ReplyDeleteFlea, your pancreas was going to go into shock when you receive your prize, but for some reason, the prize picture went away :-( I bet that was confusing.
ReplyDeleteha ha... very nice. Ok fine. I'll do it. But only since I like you so dang much.
ReplyDeletesleep diagonally....that's me too!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to copy this, can't promise when it will go up, but it will!!
