I am the primary writer on this blog, but my husband Tim may be putting up occasional posts here as well in the future, and so I thought I should start off by letting you get to know him a little bit. So last night I “interviewed” him. HA! Generally you interview someone you don’t already know. I think all married people should interview their spouse sometimes … it makes for some good laughs. 🙂
Me: “So, what’s your name?”
Tim: “….Tim. Why are you asking that?”
Me: “How would you describe yourself in one word or less?” Tim: “Pretty good.” Me: *laughing* “You’d describe yourself as pretty good?”
Tim: “Well, I’m really pretty great … but I’m also humble.”
Me: “Tell me a little bit about where you are from.”
Tim: “I am from Rhode Island which is a small but quirky state. I’m proud to be a New Englander.”
Me: “What’s your favorite breakfast?” Tim: “Like, if I could have anything? Not just a normal I’m-just-running-out-of-the-house breakfast?” Me: “Yes, sure.”
Tim: “French toast, eggs, bacon, coffee.”
Me: “If you had to choose between jumping up on a stage and singing “Never Gonna Give You Up”, or putting a tarantula in your pocket, what would you choose?”
Tim: “Tarantula in the pocket, he said without hesitation.”
Me: “What is your claim to fame?”
Tim: “The number 17. … Well, you see, not many people know me, but lots of people know the number 17. And the number 17 likes me.”
Me: “Any nicknames?”
Tim: “Um.” *laughing* “Maybe. Um. Well, Jason at work has taken to calling me T-sizzle.”
Me: “Starbucks?” Tim: “No thanks. … Was that a question?” Me: “Yes.”
Tim: “Oh, I wasn’t sure if you were checking that as a nickname.”
Me: “Math, numbers, etc. Your thoughts?” Tim: “Very yes. I’ve been doing a lot of recreational math lately.” Me: *shudders* Tim: “I have a project that I’m kind of working on just for the challenge of it, but I don’t really want to succeed.”
Me: “I’m not even gonna ask.”
Me: “Tell us, what is it like to be married to someone as wonderful as me?” Tim: *silence* *laughter*
“Sometimes I just can’t believe my luck.”
Me: “Any parting words?”
Tim: “Yes. Hopscotch, lemon drop, scroll saw.”
Some of you may recognize him because he is the one wearing the guys’ vintage clothing from my shop. He’s a very multi-talented guy. 🙂 He is definitely good at making me laugh. I had to share the Valentine card he made for me (don’t worry, the really sappy stuff is not included). This has to be one of the strangest Valentines I have ever received … I loved it! Although when I first saw the cover I was thinking, “Whaaaat…?!”
I’m not accustomed to seeing someone shot on the front of my V-day card. But then I opened it …
… and laughed really hard. Although I had to disagree, because I think he definitely has drawing skills.
Anyway, now you know a little more about Tim, and you’ll probably be hearing from him more here on the blog. Be sure to leave a “hello” for him in the comments below! 🙂
