Meme from Hermione, Terps, NoraJean

I’m writing hard these days! I’ve got a book I really want to

get finished and so I’m blogging a little less as I try to get it finished. But you all know I like to touch base with everyone and a good meme is helpful. My thanks to Hermione, Terps, NoraJean and whoever else is willing to play along.

Who's oldest?

Nick is way, way older than me. I was his child bride. Well, he’s six years older. That counts doesn't it?

Who was interested first?

We had met several times in different situations. Once when he was on a date with another girl. But we were both at a friend’s birthday party and began talking. I think we must have both been interested about the same time. He called a few days later and asked me out.

Same High school?

Nope and because of his vast age, we weren’t in high school at the same time anyway.

Most sensitive?

That would be me. I think. Sometimes we both hide our feelings so I may hurt his feelings without knowing it.

Worse temper?

That would be him. He can blow up and be very snappy – it’s happened two maybe three times in our thirty-five year marriage. So it’s not something that is a problem.

More social?

That’s me, but less than I used to be. Nick and his whole family is very reserved (almost shy). I can jump in and talk to anyone. But as time goes on I often would just rather stay home.

More stubborn?

Him, but not to the point it’s a problem. The only time I’m really stubborn is with the children. With decisions involving the kids, I’m determine to have my way. I always have been.

Wakes up first?

Nick always and forever! He was up and out of the house a little before four the other morning.

Bigger Family?

Immediate family – Nick. There were five kids in his family and only two in mine. But I have more cousins that we see.

Flowers?

Sure, I like them. But I rarely think about them.

Who cooks the most?

That would be Nick.

Cries more?

And that would be me.

Said I love you first?

Yep, we’ve been married a long time. I honestly don’t remember.

Better singer?

I’m guessing me since I’ve never once heard Nick sing a single note.

Better driver?

I think we’re about even – but I hate driving when we’re together. I think cars are for sleeping.

Hogs the remote?

I have it the most because I’m better at turning the volume up and down and pausing it when we’re talking.

Better cook?

It sure ain’t me!

Clothes And Shoe Hoarder?

We’re neither good at keeping our closets cleaned out and getting rid of old stuff. But occasionally he’ll wear the shirt he had on when Mollie was born. I find it very annoying that it fits.
