wow! my very first time to be tagged for a meme.... not sure if I am excited or fearful... well I will go with excited!
I have to remember that my blogspot imports into my facebook automatically as a note... so this could be dangerous for me... hmmmmm
1. Where did you meet?
We met at Shoppers Drug Mart which was the very first "food basket" Shoppers in Nova Scotia. The excitement was palpable... LOL... that over the "food basket" designation that is. He was my supervisor... we were a psychology experiment that the head cosmetician and the head cashier had planned... Linda, the head cashier, decided I was perfect for him. She pulled Ruth Anne in on her plan and between the two of the continually telling him I liked him and thought he was cute and vice versa... we got pulled in... tee hee... and every time I see the wedding video and see them arriving... I laugh wondering what they thought that day.
2. How long did you date? haha... that is soooo funny... well he started asking me around June to be his girlfriend... which sounds funny but remember that would be a couple DECADES ago, but I had been hurt a couple times so I was seeing a couple of people and was having too much fun playing the field so he was one of four at the time... wow... amazing to think back on it. But then I went away to visit a friend in Ontario and missed him desperately for the 2 weeks and called him constantly so when he met me at the airport and asked me again I said "yes". That was August 13th, 1987. And we got engaged the day before our one month anniversary.
3. How old is he? My darling husband of almost 19 years is 44 years old. I am not quite 41 but getting close.
4. Who eats more? well this question is a sweet one isn't it... well sitting down at a meal... definitely he does. Unless it is tacos... then I kick his butt as I looooooove tacos. We both get the munchies far too often! dammit!
5. Who said “I love you” first? have to say I cannot remember.... wish I could... it has been 2 decades. Must ask him if he knows....
6. Who is taller? He is... that was an easy one! He is 6'4" and I am 5'6"
7. Who sings better? crap.... I have no idea... I will sing in church... when my voice joins a crowd... I will sing with kids at daycare and I will sing my friggin' head off in the car but otherwise DETEST my voice... he sings to me when he has had some drinks and is dancing with me... which I can count on my hands as far too few dances for 20 years buddy!
8. Who is smarter? shall I respond by intelligent quotient comparison... LOL... I think we are pretty equal. We both have areas of knowledge that we are more familiar with but pretty much round and about the same on the whole.
9. Whose temper is worse? Emotionally speaking, my emotions are demonstrated in a far more intense manner. All of them, happiness, joy, excitement, sadness, anger etc. Actually off the charts compared to most people. I am a 150% into everything kind of gal. So my temper is sort of worse in that it gets riled up faster but it is over fast too. His takes more to flare and then can last for some time.
19. Who does the laundry? well he would say he does more but I definitely disagree. And G we are not counting the hockey jerseys for the team you coach! We can get tons done in spurts. We both fold. But I put it all away except his.
11. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? he does currently but it all depends on where the bed is.... it is all about the location of the door in relation to the bed with him.... sorta weird eh?
12. Who pays the bills? he does... cuz years ago when I had an obsessive system with a ledger and logged everything to the penny... one day when I asked for his bank machine slips and he didn't act fast enough... I threw the ledger at him. I have only thrown 2 things in 20 years and they were all in the first couple years. The other was a tv remote. Never hit him and knew I wouldn't.
13. Who cooks dinner? hahahahahahahahahh..... BAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA.... 99.9% of the time he does. And when I get dinner together... once in a millenia... it is not a real cooked one unless you count warming a can of something.
14. Who drives when you are together? He does. He enjoys driving. I have only enjoyed driving once for a brief period of time... when we first got the Blazer (which we don't have anymmore) I loved driving it for the first couple weeks.... felt awesome... like it was powerful and I was on top of the world somehow.
15. Who is more stubborn? not sure... I think we are both pretty stubborn.
16. Who kissed whom first? He kissed me. It was so fast, and on the cheek, I was almost certain I imagined it. Me and my galpals had been out to a Kool & the Gang concert and were back at the appartment Rae was taking care of for a friend; he and the security guard for Shoppers came over afterwards and after spending some time alone in a room chatting (with me wondering the entire time if he really liked me and why did he come over since he was sitting sooooo far away from me....), I walked him to the door and thought about walking him out of my life.... holy shyness Batman... when he quickly kissed me on the cheek and dashed off.
17. Who is the first to admit to being wrong? always me.... he has never admitted to being wrong I don't think. right babe? or am I wrong again? LOL
18. Whose parents do you see the most? well mine are away a good chunk of the year... so sort of his mom I guess?
19. Who proposed? He did... he arrived on my parents doorstep with two bouquets of flowers. One was an assortment for my mom he told me as my dad was away in PEI and it was their wedding anniversary and a box of long stemmed roses for me. It was a Friday and mom was taking a bunch of us young'uns out to dinner at the Mother Tucker's. He handed me the flowers as we were walking upstairs. I asked why I got flowers and he said... "uhhhh... tomorrow is our one month anniversary and the florist might be closed." Which was sort of funny, but cute. He was nervous but I did not clue in to that... So then we were walking up the stairs and he blurted out "Will you marry me?"and my response, cuz I thought he was horsing around... was in a laughing but sarcastic manner... and I stress again... cuz I really 150% thought he was messing with my head.... was "F*^k off"... wow... painful to type it here... it is a much better story with a glass of something in hand and everyone giggling and on the edge of their seat. Which they are as they can't believe we got engaged so quickly and are still married. So we get to the kitchen and I give mom the flowers he got her and we are all chatting and gabbing and excited to be going out and I open the box of roses to get a vase and I am organizing them and then I see a ring box in the corner of the box... a burgundy one with the word Tradition on it.... and I am flabbergasted... don't know what to do or say or think... so I look away and keep talking and searching for a vase and am shaking... and he takes it out and asks me again. And this time my answer was obviously yes.
20. What’s his best physical attribute? hmmmm... his thick hair, his eyes, his hugs are amazing... his shoulders... I love him all what can I say.
21. Who has more friends? what the heck? I don't know... check our facebook profiles... LOL... about the same?
22. What are you most proud of him for? He is a wonderful father, son and educator. He puts so much into being there for his mom, and our kids and his students.
23. Who has more siblings? He does. He is from a family with 4 kids and I only have the one sibling.
24. Who wears the pants in the family? well now... that is a loaded question if ever there was one.... I shall plead the fifth on that one.
