Mom Says... - tagged by Celeste

Thanks for inviting me to play! I've been wanting to do one of these tag things for ages!

What is your husband's name: Neil
How long have you been married: 5 years as of the 21st of this month.
How long did you date before you got married: About a year and a half.
Who eats more: He eats a tiny bit more than I do, but stays way thinner. I eat faster than he does.
Who sings better: We both sing pretty well. I am the section leader for the sopranos in our choir, and he is the tenor section leader. I've been singing way longer though.
Who is smarter: I dunno. Sometimes I think I am, but then he comes along and shows me up completely out of the blue. I learn faster, but he has a much better memory.
Whose temper is worse: I think mine, but both of us are pretty darned mellow.
Who does the dishes: me, usually, unless I am sick. He will help me unload without my even asking him...which is huge in my book.
Who pays the bills: I do. I do everything on-line. If it were up to Neil, it would all be paper and pen, and I hate it that way.
Who cooks dinner: me. Neil can cook a mean frozen pizza. Nevertheless, I make him get all the meals on Fridays, which means we go out to eat. Yah!
Who drives when you are together: Mostly Neil. He is an excellent navigator, and cannot read in the car, so he prefers it that way. I read out loud to him when we are on long trips, which he likes.
Who is more stubborn: Sometimes I think I am, but on some things, Neil just won't budge an inch. He's like my dad that way...he smiles and agrees but then does it his way anyway.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong: me, because I can't stand it when I've done anything to hurt Neil.
Whose parents do you see the most: His folks. They are right up there in OK. My dad won't fly anymore, so we have to save to go see him.
Who kissed who first: Neil
Who asked who out first: He asked me out to lunch at Romano's.
Who proposed: Neil. He took me to Palo Duro Canyon for a picnic, and he proposed then. Very old fashioned.
Who is more sensitive: When it comes to other people, I guess I am the one who is more easily bugged, when it comes to each other, he is the more sensitive.
Who has more friends: We both have a ton of friends, church, dance and band. They're all mutual friends, so it works out very nicely.
Who wears the pants in the family: I don't wear pants much anymore. Neil makes the final decisions about big money purchases. He is not a pushy man, but I defer to him.
Where did you meet your husband: at a contra dance. He was the first man to ask me for a dance, at the very first contra dance I attended in Denton.
Where was your first date: Romano's Macaroni Grill.
What was the first thing you said to your husband: He asked me if I would like to dance, and I said I would love to.
Where was your first kiss: At my old house in West Plano.
Where did you get engaged: Palo Duro Canyon.
Where were you married: St. Barnabus Episcopal Church, Garland, Texas.
How did your reception go: Everything went well. Good cake, my girls all looked gorgeous, and we had a wonderful dinner out at my friends' Elizabeth and Ron's house.
Where was the honeymoon: We went to a bed and breakfast in Dallas that had the most awesome food and afterwards drove to an annual dance weekend in Dennison, TX on Lake Texoma.
If you could have changed anything about it, what would it have been: Nothing. Great food, great dancing, all of our friends there.
Editor's note: I would have changed something! I would have made sure Livvy's boyfriend, Nick stayed away from the green beans almondine!!

Since Everyone Else is Doing it . . .




What is your partner's name: Sonny Waeshal Louie. Louie means Storm or sound of thunder, which makes it a super hero name. Respect!

How long have you been in a relationship: 1 year and 3 months or so. Not nearly as long as the rest of you.

How long did you date before you moved in together: If the month that I spent at his house before he deployed counts as 'moving in', then I guess 10 months. Really we haven't moved in with each other, I live with a tranny and two other almost normal people.

Who eats more: He does . . . just barely, and only because I am cognizant of who is where in their meal, and make an effort to stop before he does. And by 'stop before he does' I mean I shove everything into my mouth and then sit there pouting because I'm out of food.

Who sings better: Sonny loves to sing. I also love to sing. Who is better is in the ears of the beholder.

Who is smarter: I'm more of a smart ass. I mean technically maybe IQ wise Sonny might possibly beat me, but I doubt it's by much. I am not eager to find out though because you can bet I'd never hear the end of it. Like he really needs another reason to say "your dumb" to me. Note: the grammatical error is intentional.

Whose temper is worse: Mine, but only because Sonny is incapable of being angry. I think it's an actual disorder. I'll have to look it up.

Who does the dishes: It depends on how control freaky I'm being. I will actually insist that I do them myself sometimes. It is a strange facet of my personality.

Who pays the bills: He pays his, I pay mine.

Who cooks dinner: I do. Sonny gained 20lbs after we started dating. He can cook though, but like I said earlier I'm something of a control freak. I get anxious if he tries to take over.

Who drives when you are together: It probably works out to be even, but I think the odds are tipped in my favor. Unless I've been drinking, then he drives.

Who is more stubborn: Depends on what we are talking about. I think we are both pushovers to be honest.

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong: Again it depends on how strong the conviction is. I think it's probably pretty even.

Whose parents do you see the most: His. I somehow got finagled into attending a weekly lunch with his family. He's hung out with my family like maybe five times. This will be rectified when he gets back you better believe it.

Who kissed who first: He said he was gonna kiss me, so I kissed him. I would give him credit, but i think he was aiming for a peck on the cheek. Weak! I upped the ante.

Who asked who out first: Sonny, I didn't realize it was a date until he said he was going to kiss me. Oops.

Who asked who to move in together: Sonny keeps hinting at it. And by hinting I mean looking at houses.

Who is more sensitive: Fake sensitive: Me. Real Sensitive: Sonny. I pretend to be hurt by tons of things just for giggles. Sonny however . . . yeesh.

Who has more friends: We have approximately the same number of close friends. Sonny has way more acquaintances. If you read the post about my personality disorders you know that I'm a schizoid. Small talk is not my friend.

Who wears the pants in the family: oh man Sonny and I keep joking about that. He says he does, and then I say "I wear pants too, and they are bigger than yours."

Where did you meet your partner: I met him for the first time something like seven years ago. I have no idea where, but I do know that Lissa and Ben were there. We were reacquainted at a happy hour organized by Ben.

Where was your first date: He took me to Cosi and we played Kokology.

What was the first thing you said to your partner: I honestly don't recall, I got drunk. I do remember that I told him he looked like Jet Li, who I have a major crush on. Flirting ensued.

Where was your first kiss: Outside my house in Arlington. Then I ran inside giggling behind my hand.

When did you start dating: late August 2006. Our third date was actually Lissa's wedding. Oh I just remembered! I asked him out first, but he turned me down! Our first date would have been Lissa's wedding, if he hadn't said no. He realized his mistake two days later.

Where was your first apartment: This does not apply to us. MY first apartment was in Ashburn. I loved it, and I miss it dearly. Roommates are so hard.

What was your first vacation together: Ummm, he took me to Staunton, Virginia for his unit's annual muster. He failed to book a room in time, so I had to wander around Staunton by myself for something like six hours.

If you could have changed anything about it, what would it have been: If we are talking about the vacation, I would have changed; the location, the planning, the weather, and the duration.
