Basically, all you need to know about me is my Myers-Briggs personality profile. I’m a textbook ENFP. This means I’m all over the place and excited by EVERYTHING. So – while I’m super obsessed with all things food, travel and Columbus, OH – I often find myself writing about other random things. So, voila! This category was created so my gorgeous, INTJ husband-and-chief-blogging-tech-person felt like he covered all the possible bases for the blog.
