My Bloggy friend Betty had this up on her blog yesterday, and I thought I’d post it.
Now, it is a Valentine’s Day related Q&A, but I’m not real big on V-Day (and yes, I did have a rant post up yesterday, but quickly realized how whiny I sounded, and trashed it) so I decided to do it today instead.
♥ What are your middle names?
Mine is Lynn, his is Brian
♥ How long have you been together?
September 5, 1990 we started seeing each other (which means I broke up with his room-mate, first), we were married the following June 1st.
♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
A few hours…
♥ Who asked who out?
Um. I think we met at a bar that evening after work, but I don’t recall whose idea it was. Mine probably!
♥ How old are each of you?
He’s 43, I’m 42
♥ Whose siblings do/ did you see the most?
My brother and his kids. We never see his family, because they live in another province.
♥ Do you have any children together?
The Teen (born Oct 1994) and the Surprise Wee One (born Oct 2004)
♥ What about pets?
Sadie, our rescued Australian Shepherd, and Boo, our cat. I don’t include the half dozen land hermit crabs or his fish as pets.
♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
I think my readers are getting sick of hearing about the lack of romance…
♥ Did you go to the same school?
Nope
♥ Are you from the same home town?
Nope! I grew up out West, and he’s from the East. (Canada) We met somewhere in the middle you might say.
♥ Who is the smartest?
He would say I am, but mechanically, he can’t be surpassed. I do win at Scrabble every time though, and I’m very good with my hands (um, meaning of course that I’m patient and able to fix things, or create things).
♥ Who is the most sensitive?
I am, he’s completely insensitive ;)
♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
We like Moxie’s for nice dinners out, but most often we take the kids to Montana’s.
♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
As a couple… hrm. Probably Scotland.
♥ Who has the worst temper?
I’m the passionate one, so naturally, I do!
♥ Who does the cooking?
We both do – he’s a good cook, but it’s basic stuff that he prefers. I like to be adventurous.
♥ Who is more social?
I am, hands down.
♥ Who is the Neat Freak?
Oh man, I wish one of us was… me more than him though.
♥ Who is the more stubborn?
He is. Totally inflexible!
♥ Who hogs the bed?
I do – I like to stretch out :) Good thing it’s a King.
♥ Who wakes up earlier?
Used to be him, but since I don’t sleep well anymore, it’s always me now.
♥ Where was your first date?
Had to be the bar mentioned above. We didn’t do a lot of “dating”. We just “were”.
♥ Who has the bigger family?
He does – a brother and sister, who both have kids, plus countless cousins. I have 1 brother, his 2 kids, and a few cousins. No aunts or uncles.
♥ Do you get flowers often?
The obligatory bouquet at V-Day. Lets not talk about that…
♥ How do you spend the holidays?
Holidays are always spent at home. Vacations? We try to get out of town for a week or two every year. The beach is usually where we head – Florida, Barbados, etc.
♥ Who is more jealous?
I don’t think I am, and he never WAS, but he has proven to be somewhat jealous recently.
♥ How long did it take to get serious?
Hours.
♥ Who eats more?
He does – I could never pack away what he can. Nor would I want to!
♥ Who does the laundry?
I do – if he did it, all of our clothes would be pink or grey.
♥ Who’s better with the computer?
I am – I maintain the 5 computers in our household, plus my folks’ 2, brother’s, and a few other people. Sometimes I dread answering the phone.
♥ Who drives when you are together?
Usually he does.
So there you go!
