I decided this month would be as good of time as any to join the “Boys Behind the Blog” link-up hosted by Mal Smiles and Never the Same Spice Twice. Below are the 5 designated questions for the link up and 3 additional things shared by P.
So without further ado….here’s P 🙂
The Boys Behind the Blog #9 QUESTIONS
1. If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
Ghent, Belgium — For the best beer in the world. Also, the proximity and ease of access to Paris, Antwerp, London, Amsterdam, and all of Germany. Not to mention some serious history, architecture, beauty, and some of the friendliest folks you could imagine.
2. Sand or snow?
Probably take sand. No real opinion on this one because both have a great place. Sand just because I think snow is fun for a couple of days before you want to get back to normal. Sand generally equals beach which I would enjoy for much longer. Also, being from the South, we have trouble traveling/getting around in snow leading to a lot of inconvenience. Sand wins this one ( as long as not stranded in a vast desert). Give me a nice, friendly urban city anywhere and I’ll be happy.
3. What Winter Olympic sport would you rock at?
Well, since I’m not much of a sports person (I didn’t even know the Winter Olympics were this year until I saw pics of Sochi bathrooms two weeks ago), this is a bit of a challenging question. Also, I’m not that much of a snow person (see question 2), I don’t think I would really “rock” any Winter Olympic sport. That being said, I do see some potential in curling. It looks like it’s a sport a beer could be enjoyed while playing. So yeah, that I can do.
4. You’re cooking a romantic dinner what is your go-to dish?
Risotto…probably mushroom based. Also toss in some braised beef. Palmiers for dessert.
5. Fill in the blank: This year, I gave Mariah love for Valentine’s Day?
Refer to my wife’s post. Seriously, I don’t really get it either-why one day when I have a year…years.
3 Random Things About P
- I like biking to work. It’s de-stressing, clears my head, and provides joy to a routine day. I get exercise and promote alternative transportation all within the normal course of a day.
- I like interesting, unique, and colorful socks. My dressing style is otherwise pretty typical. The socks represent my personal style statement. (Thanks Mariah!)
- Morning is my favorite time of day. I like both rising early to enjoy the solitude and peace of a new day, and I like to “sleep-in” with Mariah while catching up on current events, news, email, and music. I like being productive and lazy equally in the morning.
I talk about P quite often on the blog and almost all of “my” activities are really “we” activities. P is my person, my best friend, and the greatest thing to happen in my life. P has been incredibly supportive of me starting this blog and in keeping it going. I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit more about my man behind the blog.
Is there anything else you would like to know about P?
I’m counting today’s post as my “Friday” post but I will be back on Sunday with our weekly meal round-up. See you guys Sunday!
Your P sounds just like my Walt! Biking to work is my husband’s dream. Houston traffic would eat him alive though! haha Risotto is a great answer for making dinner. You can never get enough 🙂
Yes, P loves being able to bike to work, he does it a lot in the summer but not so much in the winter. We are lucky we live close to a greenway that takes him very close to his work and he doesn’t have to go on very many “major” roads. We do enjoy risotto but it is a usually only about a once a year thing at home.
Look at you creating such cool graphics! I’m super impressed M. This was a great. I normally skip over the man behind the blog posts but of course I had to make an exception for your P.
Hugs
Thanks S, P appreciates it 🙂 He had fun answering the questions.
I love when the guys behind the blogs can chat a bit! I’d also take sand over snow, any day.
You are certainly living in the right state for sand over snow 🙂 It was fun and P was really excited to participate…he keeps saying “I’m famous, now”.
Ghent sounds great to me too!
It was really great! I have a post coming about our visit to Ghent…I was saving it as my last of the “Let’s Fly Away” series.
HAHA I love that he chose curling so he could drink beer while competing. I think our guys would get along splendidly with those kinds of priorities 🙂 I liked this post! It’s fun to learn about the men behind the bloggers. How did you guys meet?
Thanks for sharing, P!
P’s pretty easy going type of guy and gets along with anyone as long as they can sit back and enjoy a beer 🙂 As soon as this was his answer I had to share your post about whether or not it is an Olympic sport…I think beer drinking probably falls under criteria for “not”.
We met at a birthday party, and he pretty much insisted I go on a date with him (he waited around all night just so he could ask me). I think I will do a post on our first date at some point and share a bit more.
Loved learning about him! My husband has always been a big part of my blogging, too, so I love learning about others who have similar relationships.
Thanks Ashley! We are one of those “gross” couples who are attached at the hip 😉 We really do like doing things together and enjoy learning new things together as well, it’s our life 🙂
These are such great answers! And my husband said curling would be his sport, too… probably for the same beer-related reason 😉 Typical men, right? haha!
Stopping by from the link-up! <3
Thanks for stopping in Lindsay! Your husband’s answers were funny…particularly the curling one-good thing P picked that as his sport too 🙂
