Husband Tag

My friend Kelli invited me to play Husband Tag. If there's one thing I will never pass up, it's a good tag questionnaire...



HUSBAND TAG

1.What's his name? Big K or Big Daddy (he prefers his anonymity)


2.How long have you been married? 6 years. Well, 7 in February.


3.How long did you date? 2 1/2 very long, but very fun, years


4.How old is he? 37 on Halloween. Old Man River.


5.Who eats more? He does. And way faster too. He's done when I'm on my 4th bite. But if it's dessert, I do.


6.Who said "I love you" first? I did. In a letter I stuck in his suitcase when he went out of town a few months after we started dating.


7.Who is taller? He is 3 or 4 inches taller than I am. Perfect for hugging.


8.Who sings better? Um, unless it's Twinkle Twinkle, I do.

9.Who is smarter? When we first got married, I thought we were pretty equal. But I have realized since then that he is WAAAAAY smarter than I am. He is smart in a lot of areas where I am just plain clueless.


10.Whose temper is worse? Definitely his. He doesn't lose it often, but when he does...look out for flying objects.


11.Who does the laundry? I do. Unless he needs something specific washed or I get too behind on the whites.

12.Who does the dishes? The dishwasher, thank goodness. But I load and unload them.

13.Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me. I can't sleep on the left side because then I'd have to face into the bed.

14.Who pays the bills? His money pays the bills, but I am in charge of finances.


15. Who mows the lawn? A lawn service. After a year or so of living here, he decided his time was too valuable to waste 2 hours of his Saturday mowing. He still to this day considers it the best money he ever spent. And I'm fine with having him home with me on Saturday too.


16.Who cooks dinner? I cook 3 or 4 days a week, and he pays for dinner in or dinner out 2 or 3 days. He can cook, though. His fajitas are fantastic.

17.Who drives when you are together? In his car, he always does. In my car, he does about 80% of the time, but sometimes I like to drive.


18.Who is more stubborn? I don't think either of us is very stubborn. But I am probably a bit more stubborn than he is.


19.Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? We take turns. Sometimes he does, sometimes I do.

20. Whose parents do you see the most? His. I see my mom every week, but during the day when he's not home. So together, we see his more.


21.Who proposed? He did.


22.Who has more friends? Hard question. He has had the same 6 or 7 friends since middle and high school. They know each other really well, but they don't hang out much. I don't have a ton of really close friends who live near me, but I hang out with my casual friends more often than he does his good friends.

23.Who has more siblings? He does. I have one brother and one sister. He has four brothers and one sister.

24.Who wears the pants in the family? I would say that he does. We both contribute to decisions, but he usually makes the final call. (Except with the kids. I'm in charge of that arena.)


Consider yourself tagged!

What a Man...


I love that my husband knows me. He knows I don't want trite red roses. He knows I would cry if the bouquet had baby's breath. There are no stupid teddy bears or cheap heart shaped chocolates around here. Just a perfect bouquet of multi-colored tulips. They're exactly what I wanted. He's awesome. In the world of En Vogue "What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (background : a mighty mighty good man). That just dated me, huh?

We're doing our usual non-romantic Valentine's Day evening tonight: our Annual Anti-Valentine's Day Party. I think this is our 4th or 5th one. This year, however, we got smart and rented a place to do it. One of the biggest headaches about having a party is spending days trying to get Hurricane Daphne and Typhoon Beck's messes under control as well as the daily messes of Mommy and Daddy. Then there's the mess to clean up afterward. So this year we decided to spare ourselves the biggest source of stress, and we got a room at Noah's. You just show up with your food, party, and leave. They clean up after you. The room has a huge plasma TV, couches, chairs, a mini-kitchen, and a pool table. And plenty of parking. It should be awesome. It's going to break my diet, but I can splurge for a night, right?

And here's this for Valentine's Day...




My Candy Heart Says "First Kiss"



You're a true romantic who brings an innocent hope to each new relationship.

You see the good in every person you date, and you relish each step of falling in love.

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a romantic dinner your sweetie cooks for you

Your flirting style: friendly and sweet

What turns you off: cynics who don't believe in romance

Why you're hot: you always keep the romance alive
