Shh...I'm not really doing this.

So my laptop is in a fragile state. It needs a new motherboard and I was advised to, "take it easy," with the laptop - until it gets a new motherboard. I'll be shipping my baby off to Dell tomorrow - and then waiting. Luckily, my hard drive seems to be okay, but I was told NOT to try and back it up with the state my laptop is in. Whatever. Anyway, my husband is getting anxious about me even being on here. So this is quick.

I copied this from Christie, who copied from Heather Armstrong's Dooce, who copied it from somewhere in Facebook land.

What are your middle names?
Mine is Marie and his is James.

How long have you been together?
Married for nearly seven years, together for over ten.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
We knew each other maybe a few months before we went on our first date.

Who asked whom out?
He asked me.

How old are each of you?
I'm 31 and he's 33.

Whose siblings do you see the most?
He only has one sister - we see her probably a bit more than we see my siblings. But not much more.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Working on the house/making decisions/finding time.

Did you go to the same school?
We went to the same college, until he transferred to a different one.

Are you from the same home town?
Nope.

Who is smarter?
Depends on what you're talking about. "school stuff" - Mike wins. "common sense stuff" (like how to do laundry AND watch the kids) - I win. But really, he's a crazy freak about remembering facts and has a degree in physics AND engineering, so yeah, he's probably smarter, but don't tell him that. But I DO have a Master's Degree. So....

Who is the most sensitive?
Me, I guess.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Brio

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Florida.

Who has the craziest exes?
Neither of us.

Who has the worst temper?
He does, but really, I don't see it much.

Who does the cooking?
He does.

Who is the neat-freak?
me. You should have seen this house when I got back from my little vacation.

Who is more stubborn?
Me.

Who hogs the bed?
The dog.

Who wakes up earlier?
Me. Even when it's my turn to sleep in, he gets mad because I get up shortly after he does. Really, I just want him to take car of the kids in the morning, I usually lay in bed checking things out with my blackberry.

Where was your first date?
A coffee shop in Normal, IL

Who is more jealous?
Me.

How long did it take to get serious?
serious = marriage? About 2 years 'til we started talking about it.

Who eats more?
Me. Mike can't eat wheat. I like to eat.

Who does the laundry?
I do. Actually, I got home from my trip and was told, "the kids have to sleep in their clothes tonight because there's no more pajamas." He complained that he couldn't do laundry AND watch the kids (who are in bed by 7:30). I managed to do 6 loads today - while home with the kids. I guess I'm still a bit bitter about this. Hmmm... he did not complain at all about me leaving for a long weekend, so I guess I shouldn't be so upset, right??? Anyway, usually I do a few loads through the week so I don't have to do laundry all day long.

Who's better with the computer?
Depends on what you want. Blogging, social networking, picture stuff - me. Anything else - Mike.

Who drives when you are together?
Me. Always.
