another meme

Ok, I said I would look for something snarky but I didn't. Instead I am doing a meme.

This one is from Ann, and I am playing along as ordered by Crabby McCan'tsleep.


1. Who is your man?
That would be Mr. Logo, also known as Rusty Nails

2. How long have you been together?
We've been married for almost 17 years, we met 9 months before that.

3. How long dated?
We officially dated about a month, then we got engaged, fools rush in, eh?

4. How old is your man?
Oooooold, like, YEARS older than me

5. Who eats more?
Thing One I think, although if it's garlic bread I'll fight ya for it and the chocolate is ALL Mr. Logo's and don't you forget it.

6. Who said "I love you" first?
He did, and then I ran to the bathroom and puked. Isn't that a tender story?

7. Who is taller?
He is taller than me by about 5 inches

8. Who sings better?
That would be me. His singing is, well, painful. He makes up for it by having many other useful talents.

9. Who is smarter?
We divide this into areas of speciality. He handles the math, chemistry, and useful daily information and I handle the trivial and obscure.

10. Whose temper is worse?
Well, that is a toss up. He has a shorter fuse generally speaking but when I go off it tends to be pretty impressive.

11. Who does the laundry?
I do, but he handles his own ironing.

12..Who does the dishes?
Thing One handles the loading of the dishwasher and Thing Two unloads it. They are paid quite a generous allowances for it too.

13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
Facing from the foot Mr. Logo is on the right.

14. Who pays the bills?
Mr. Logo handles account payable. My inexact methods of bookkeeping cause him to twitch and there is this vein in his forehead that pulses. It seems healthier to just let him deal with it.

15. Who has bigger feet?
Mr. Logo

16. Who has longer hair?
I do, by quite a bit

17. Who is better with the computer?
That would be me, though it's probably more to do with inclination rather than ability.

18. Who mows the lawn?
Most often I do it, sometimes Thing One or Mr. Logo take a turn

19. Who cooks dinner?
Lately I've been the one throwing food in the vicinity of the table in the evenings.

20. Who drives when you are together?
In the family-mobile I drive more often but in the truck it's all him. For some reason Mr. Logo drives his truck like a little old man, drives the van like a crazy man and on his motorcycle is a textbook cautious, assertive but not aggressive, polite, and alert rider. It's fascinating.

21. Who pays when you go out?
I am a kept woman, so the point is moot.

22. Who is most stubborn?
Oooo, hard one, we are both pretty dang stubborn. I'd love to say he is but honestly, that MIGHT not be true.

23. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong?
We are both pretty good about that...usually.

24. Whose parents do you see the most?
Mine, we keep his parents on the east coast, we both prefer it that way.

25. Who kissed who first?
He kissed me first, and it was lovely

26. Who asked who out?
He asked me out to watch a movie, oh no, wait, actually, I asked him to come out with my cousin and I because I was ducking an obnoxious guy who wanted to ask me out so I guess that might be considered the official first.

27. Who proposed?
He did, and had ordered a custom designed ring and everything, it had amethysts in it. Have I mentioned Mr. Logo is quite the romantic? It's true.

28. Who is more sensitive?
About what exactly? We divide this one up too.

29. Who has more friends?
Probably I do, although we share very nicely.

30. Who has more siblings?
I do, middle child and he is an only child.

31. Who wears the pants in the family?
We share, our family is more an oligarchy rather than an autocracy and as long as I don't have any really strong objections I am more than willing to let him handle things how ever he would like. If I have strong objections I let him know and usually we manage to find a reasonable concensus point we can both live with happily.
