tagged: couple stuff

Leah, from over at Mom! Are we there yet? tagged me on these questions about King and I.

How long have you been together? Twenty years
How long did you know each other before you started dating? 1 week (the longest week of my life)
Who asked whom out? King called me and asked me out to lunch
How old are each of you? we are 41 (he's exactly 2 weeks older)
Whose siblings do you see the most? probably equal
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? For me, the answer would be: being apart from one another. His answer would probably be: issues relating to child discipline. He thinks discipline does not equal love and that ignoring a behavior will make it go away. I will refrain from climbing atop a soapbox on this one.
Did you go to the same school? we met at college
Are you from the same home town? no
Who is smarter? As an engineer, he has an incredible capacity to remember all things relating to math... he knows all grades of formulas. *yawn* I have been blessed with the ability to think quickly and to think outside the box when problem solving is needed. But am I book smart? mmm.. notsomuch.
Who is the most sensitive? no doubt about it: me
Where do you eat out most as a couple? Bonefish
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? England
Who has the worst temper? I have a quick temper and can get over it fairly quickly. King's fuse is much longer... however, once he finally gets there, it takes him awhile to calm back down.
Who does the cooking? I do most of the cooking and am the type of cook that looks in the cabinet/fridge/freezer and says, "mmm, these flavors might work well together." He does love to cook, but must follow a recipe (exactly!!)
Who is the neat-freak? hands down, me
Who is more stubborn? ditto
Who hogs the bed? I would say he does, and he used to be really bad about stealing the covers.
Who wakes up earlier? He wakes up early to get a jump start on work stuff.
Where was your first date? (remember, we were in college) McDonalds
Who is more jealous? I am. I am mostly jealous of the time he spends with his work. I call his job, "the other woman".
Who does the laundry? Our laundress, Miss Tiggy Winkle (aka moi)
Who’s better with the computer? I'd say we have equal strengths on being computer savvy, I do know a few more shortcuts than he does with those arrow buttons.
Who drives when you are together? If we are going on a long trip, usually he will drive, unless he needs to do work on his laptop. And, actually, he does a lot of the around town stuff lately, too.

So, there you have it. If you feel like being tagged, then *tag* you're it. They're kind of fun, actually.
