You Asked, We Answered: Part 2: a house log

Since we could not cram all of your questions into last week’s video, we are bringing you the follow-up where we are tackling more funny and random personal questions that were submitted before last week’s big blogiversary extravaganza by our curious readers via Twitter and Facebook. We are in short back to answer a few more of those quirky queries that had us laughing and cringing as the camera rolled (“what was your first thought when you first saw your house?”, “what chore do not you trust the other person to do?”, “when do you folks get a chance to work out?”, “does Sherry wear her pajamas all day since she works from home?”). And this time I promise Sherry controls that potty mouth of hers a little bit better (see what we mean by watching Part 1). And enjoy Part 2 below or over here on YouTube.

Oh, and for those who cannot watch the video, here is a swift recap of what we cover:

• I do not trust Sherry to load the dishwasher (a total surprise to her) or mow the lawn, she’d rather I not do toilets and prune things. I think I can agree with that.
• We think we discovered our true “Petersik Style” a few months into blogging, once we refined our home’s color palette.
• Sherry’s interest in home decor certainly spurred mine, but I have consistently taken an interest in design and enjoyed flexing my creative muscles.
• Sherry’s looks can be attributed to a combo of DNA, make-up and plenty of photoshop.
• We are a one-car household and we drive a Nissan Maxima now, but dream of getting a used Honda Element (if I had my way) or a used Nissan Rogue (the ride Sherry and I in fact agree on). And somehow I make Sherry think she’s pregnant in this answer.
• We use our living/dining room to entertain (and eat the occasional sloppy dinner that might ruin the couch in the den), but other than that, Burger’s the main occupant of that room (he likes to sit on the back of the couch and gaze out the window).
• Sherry likes to credit our punny writing style to her copywriting background, but I reveal that we truly have our weird dads’ senses of humor to thank. Shout out to Tom and Ken.
• We typically read blogs or magazines, but when we crack open a book it is either pink-covered chick lit (Sherry) or nerdish non-fiction (me and sometimes Sherry too).
• Sherry’s first impression of our house was “we have to have it” and mine was “that is A LOT of yard work.”
• Even though she works from home, Sherry manages to change out of her pajamas 99% of the time – but still misses the old days in NYC when she got all gussied up for work and tottered around in 4″ heels (I had no idea she was 5’2″ for the longest time).
• We chose to get a chihuahua because I hoped a cat, but Sherry’s allergic. Hence our cat-sized dog, Burger – whose manageable size makes him a breeze to travel with.
• Sherry only runs when being chased (working out simply is not her thing), but does go on long walks with Burger (in addition to banging out all of those sweat-inducing home improvement projects). I am a runner and I go on my lunch breaks.

We know there are likely still questions out there, so feel free to hit us up with more. After all, we are Talky McTalkersons when you get us going. We cannot promise they’ll all be addressed in another video, but you know we hate to leave any question unanswered…
