Here's another "tell the people about yourself" things. This has the marriage angle so it seems a little less self-indulgent than the list in my last post. But I still wonder, Does anyone even give a shit? Either way, here we go....
What are your middle names? Anne and Edward (sounds like British royalty)
How long have you been together? We dated for four years and have been married for nearly twenty years. Unbelievable. I won't elaborate.
How long did you know each other before you started dating? Couple of months.
Who asked whom out? He asked me out. I'm way too shy to make the first move.
How old are each of you? I'm 43 (OLD according to Dooce - thanks a lot!) and he's 45 (ha! he's even OLDER)
Whose siblings do you see the most? Mine, although not enough for my liking. They live far away.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Money. Not having enough of it. Sucks.
Did you go to the same school? We went to the same college.
Are you from the same home town? No, I'm from rural Ohio (see below) so I'm all hick. He grew up mostly in New Jersey so he's all, you know, NEW JERSEY-ISH.
Who is smarter? We're smarter in different ways about different things.
Who is the most sensitive? Um, me. Although I find myself more cynical as the years go by and less over-sensitive about most things. I have a whole "whatever" attitude now about a lot of things that used to really bother me.
Where do you eat out most as a couple? We usually go Italian but enjoy fondue the most.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Probably Haiti.
Who has the craziest exes? Oh, it's so him. CRA-ZY ladies...I'll leave it there.
Who has the worst temper? Depends. We're both pretty even-tempered but I'm crankier day-to-day and he's louder once he does get mad. I don't yell much. Not a fan of the yelling.
Who does the cooking? He enjoys it more and is better at it but I've been doing more lately. Hate it with every fiber of my being.
Who is the neat-freak? I used to be but I've given up. Greg and Emma and the cats outnumber me. It's exhausting and probably in the top five list of things that upset me and create daily stress for me.
Who is more stubborn? I'm told I am but I refuse to believe it.
Who hogs the bed? GREG! He's big! I'm long but he's big. Plus, he's a flopper.
Who wakes up earlier? I used to but now he does.
Where was your first date? We went to see the Oscar winner Street Walkin' . It was very romantic.
Who is more jealous? I used to be but now...eh. (See above answer about who's more sensitive.) He's jealous occasionally and it always takes me by surprise. Mostly because I can't believe that I would elicit those kinds of feelings in someone else.
How long did it take to get serious? Probably six months or so. I was the girl that never wanted to marry so the idea of being someones girlfriend did not sit well with me for a long while.
Who eats more? Definitely Greg.
Who does the laundry? Mostly me. He keeps drying my pants which is a huge, HUGE no-no because they shrink in length and it really pisses me off. I half think he does it on purpose so I don't want him to do the laundry.
Who's better with the computer? Greg. He's an egghead.
Who drives when you are together? Usually him, but we call him grandpa so you can just imagine how much fun I have being in the passenger seat. "GO FASTER!!"
