10 Ways Gary and I Are Different

1. He likes to go to bed with the chickens and wake up before them.

    I like to go to bed after late night television and wake up in time for brunch, although that

    usually doesn’t work when you have kids and a husband who rise with the chickens.

2. He craves salty things.

     I love sweets.

3. He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty.

   I am a major germ-o-phobe who should buy stock in hand sanitizer.

4. He’s an auditory learner.

   I’m more visual.

5. He could spend a whole day outside fishing and hunting mushrooms.

   I could spend a whole day on the couch reading (or writing) a book.

6. He can fix just about anything.

   I probably couldn’t fix anything that doesn’t require a reset button or superglue if my life

   depended on it.

7. He could eat steak and potatoes every day.

   I could eat pasta and seafood every day.

8. He has to be extremely early to everywhere he goes.

   I try to be early, (really, I do), but am usually late.

    I am the oldest child in my family.

10. He can cook pretty much anything.

    I try. Really, I do.

Perhaps the saying, “opposites attract” is true. Somehow, we make it work and are still in love after 15 years.
