The Significant Other Blogfest!


Hosted by DL Hammons and Talli Roland, today’s blogfest is all about enticing your significant other into talking about you. It cost me a dinner and two foot massages, but I managed to talk my wife into writing something for the blogfest.

What can I tell you about Alex?


I’m sure you know about his NetFlix obsession. I can confirm he’s almost reached the end. When he resorts to nature specials, I’ll let you know. He loves his movies and music, and I’m aware of the Kate obsession. It’s okay, I don’t feel threatened. He wouldn’t know what to do if he ever got her.


What I can tell you is that Alex is very devoted. He takes everything very seriously. He’s devoted to his work, his music, and his writing. He’s a perfectionist and won’t stop until something is perfect. Sometimes he stresses because he doesn’t feel he’s doing enough. He’s very devoted to blogging and his online friends, and I hear about all of you on a daily basis.


I admire what Alex has accomplished with his first book. It’s been a fun adventure for him. Alex is very reserved, so outwardly he doesn’t appear overly excited. But whenever he sees a good review or someone mentions they enjoyed his book, I see that smile and know he’s very pleased. That makes me happy.


I think Alex is a very special man and I hope everyone else can see that, too.

Yeah, isn’t she great? To heck with Kate!

  3. What a great idea for a Blogfest; I wish I'd heard of it sooner.
    Not too surprising; writers are often quiet & reserved :)

  4. How can you even think of Kate when you have a wife like that? Glad I didn't hear about this blogfest, as I can't imagine getting my wife to write something like this about me.

  5. Lovely to hear from your wife even if it did cost you a dinner and a massage.
    I wondered what my late husband would have said about me????????

    Wonderful post.

    Yvonne.

  6. You're right Jeremy - Kate who?

    Thanks, Ellie.

    Will, sorry you missed this one.

    Ted, I know!

    Yvonne, the price we pay.. And I'm sure your husband would've said awesome things about you.

  7. Great post! It's great to hear thoughts from our better halves, right?!

  8. Alex, I would say, this lady is your true treasure.

    She knows all the things that make you tick and loves you anyway...that is a treasure to have.

  10. To heck with Kate, indeed! She sounds perfect :o)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Your right Alex, the two of you and your relationship feel eeirly similar to me and my wife. The introverted writer and outspoken better-half. Aren't we lucky?! I can tell that you are.

    Thanks to you and your wife for taking part today. I certainly hope it was a good dinner! :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Thanks, Gail!

    Mary, we're perfectly something all right!

    Dl, we are lucky! I think any man who can actually con a woman into marrying him should be eternally grateful.

    ReplyDelete
  13. She rocks my socks off! I have to say I'm loving all you guys who got your woman to say a few words about you!!! It's so neat!!!

    I love her... who cares about Kate :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. ah, I was hoping to see a wedding picture or something ....
    Greetings to Mrs. Cavanaugh!

    ReplyDelete
  15. That was a wonderful description of you, Alex. And funny too. "He wouldn't know what to do if he ever got her". :)
    Cute idea for a blogfest!

    ReplyDelete
  16. You did not need to do the questions my friend. You have the lottery prize right there, no greener grass for you. :)

  19. It's amazing someone that charming puts up with you, Alex. Must have been some sort of bribery involved.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love your wife's voice! We'd get along just fine.

    Great job. (Oh, congrats on the book release!)

    ReplyDelete
  21. I want to know who Kate is too, lol.

    Your SO sounds great! Congrats on your book.

    ReplyDelete
  22. She sounds wonderful! It's such a blessing to have a supportive, loving, and understanding (move over, Kate!) person in your life. So happy for you both!

    Hey Alex, have you been able to view my blog since we realized there was a problem? Shoot me an email, if not. I'd be so sad if your visits were permanently over :(

    ReplyDelete
  23. it's completely believable that you're a perfectionist. Everything makes sense now!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Dear Alex's wife, Great job. This helps his BFs (blogger friends) know him a little better. I love funny and your post is also funny"...I’m aware of the Kate obsession. It’s okay, I don’t feel threatened. He wouldn’t know what to do if he ever got her".
    Funny!

    I can hear how much he means to you and he's already told us how he feels about you.

    Great post.

    I've really enjoyed hearing from the better halves! And the husbands. *wink wink*

  26. How lovely to hear more about you from an obviously very special person. You sound like a cool couple! Great post.

    ReplyDelete
  27. This was great, Alex! Thank your partner for me - so nice to hear her obvious admiration for you coming through.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Very nice to meet you Mrs. Cavanaugh! This is such a cool idea for a BF, I wish I had a partner who was willing to even read my blog (she isn't).

    ReplyDelete
  29. Mrs. Alex loves you :)
    Enjoy the weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Aww, this is sweet! :D

  31. Alex, you are indeed a lucky man. Maybe you should add some flowers to that bribe.

  33. Hi Mrs. Cavanaugh. You did a great job, and I'm sure it meant a great deal to Alex. He's luck you have such a supportive other half. You should stop in again sometime!

    ReplyDelete
  34. What a lovely partner you have there!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Jen, she does rock!

    Dezz, it's been so long, I don't think I could even find a wedding photo.

    Kelly, she's probably right

    Thanks, Jules. And yes, music fest is shaping up!

    Talli, mostly lucky me.

    Bryan, as I said, there were foot massages and a dinner involved...

    Thanks, Salarsen!

    Myne, that would be Kate Beckinsale.

    Nicole, I plan to run through everything this afternoon - sorry, just haven't had a chance!

    Falen, does it?

    Teresa, she's really special!

    Margo, we try to be cool.

    Sorry, Matthew!

    Cold, Kate probably doesn't care!

    BTN - Kate Becksinsale.

    Mason, she's not a flower person, or I would've tried that.

    Thanks, everyone. Yeah, she's awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wonderful support when someone steps out of their comfort zone for you. Very cool.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Awww she is great! This was such a lovely post, Alex, congratulations on having such a fantastic wife!

    PS. You quite sure she's not a writer too? :-)

    ReplyDelete
  38. That's very cool. I've done guest blogs on Tim's site and it's a great deal of fun.

    Happy Weekend and Eat Well.

  39. How sweet! Definitely worth dinner and a foot massage! :)

  41. I agree- Kate is outmatched by your S.O. great post!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Such nice things to say about you! There's a good wife ~ :) (and I have Netflix AND Blockbuster subscriptions...)

    ReplyDelete
  43. This was so sweet. I don't think I could have gotten my wife to do this though. I guess I could have made up her response and really made myself look good.

  44. You're a lucky man, Alex! (then again I know you feel the same about your wife, so she is lucky too)

    ReplyDelete
  45. This was so great, Alex. Your wife is awesome! Her comments were well worth the dinner and foot rubs.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Sangu, she knows how to help me with mine, that's for sure!

    Donna, now that's dangerous!

    Lee, we would've never known...

    ReplyDelete
  47. You're wife deserves some roses now. How sweet that interview was. You are a keeper, Alex.

    I am having trouble finding the iBookstore to search for my book. I keep getting the buy iPad. Very confusing. If you have their URL I'd love it.
    Thanks,

  49. Nancy, I go through my iPad, so can't help you there.

    Golden, she is!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Your wife is great! And, you know what you can do if you meet Kate? Tell her you have a wonderful wife.

    ReplyDelete
  51. aw! That's the sweetest thing--you're a special man. :o) *snort* "wouldn't know what to do" w/her... ;p good one~

    ReplyDelete
  52. Great to hear the wife's take. But what does she have against nature specials? ha ha.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Awwww! Love this blogfest! The significant other love is radiating through the blogosphere and makes me happy!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Alex is one of the best! In fact, I just mentioned his upcoming blogfest over at my blog today.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Clarissa, I doubt I'll be able to form actual sentences at that point...

    LTM - yeah, little fun poke at me!

    Melissa, she likes nature specials - I'm the one who avoids them!

    Jeffrey, thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Ha! To heck with Kate indeed! Mrs Alex sounds wonderful, I love all these significant other posts I've read thus far, everyone has been so supportive! ;)

  61. Talei, thanks we will, and without Kate!

    Thanks, Elizabeth.

  62. Awwww - what a sweetie! Love it :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. I almost snorted rootbeer at your Kate comment. Pretty awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  64. LOL! at your wife's comment about Kate. My wife says the same thing about me and Jessica Alba.

    ReplyDelete
  65. How can you even think about Kate with such a woman behind you?
    A foot massage? Your wife and I think alike. I know my husband wants something when he gives me a foot massage.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Great post, I like this woman, she tells it like it is! Sounds like you two, compliment each other~ I think you need to buy her flowers, too~
    The Kate comment, surprised me; YOU are funny! Nice to meet you~

    ReplyDelete
  67. It's nice to meet the both of you. I found you through the blogfest.

    It sounds as though you genuinely support your live in writer. I can only imagine how hard it must be at times to live with such obsessed people. Thank you for participating in this wonderful blogfest.

    And who doesn't have a crush on Kate? I know I do. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  68. Aww, I love this post. You're a lucky man, Alex. Sounds like she deserves dinner and foot rubs anyway, all the time. :)

    Have a wonderful weekend,
    Lola

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hmmm...to heck with Kate ha...;)

    So this is the Alex writer and blogger from the words of his best half...:)

    Nice knowing more about Alex..:)

    She deserves the treats...from time to time...;)

    ReplyDelete
  71. I wish my sig other would post something on my blog about me. That was so sweet of her.

    How do we know you didn't write that about yourself? Seems a little suspicious.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Jolene, now that would've been a sight!

    Stephen, they know us too well.

    Susan, and I'm pretty sure you can guess what he wants as well.

    Ella, we jive well.

    G - see? It's not just me!

    Lola, don't give her ideas!

    Amity, I try to give her treats as often as possible.

    PTM - would I admit to the world I wouldn't know what to do with Kate if I had the opportunity?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Your wife is so sweet. You're very lucky. And I agree, you're very dedicated and out there commenting on everyone's blogs. You're great!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Awesome post; every word a true one too :) Thanks Mrs Alex (Alexette, perhaps?) :D

    ReplyDelete
  75. That was fun - it's great to hear a different perspective on you!

    ReplyDelete
  76. To heck with Kate indeed! You've got a supportive gem there, Alex! Love reading these! So mushy.

    ReplyDelete
  77. This blogfest is so great. Massages and dinner? Your lovely SO took it easy on you! This was a great post.

    ReplyDelete
  78. What a lovely post, Alex. You have a loving wife! :) And yes, to heck with Kate! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Jamie, it's true for her and that's what matters.

    And it's not dog mush either, Terry!

    Thanks Kari and Len!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Fun post. I can't even imagine what my husband would have written. Hmm, that's a thought for a post. "What would my significant other say?"

    ReplyDelete
  81. She sounds very sweet and supportive! Glad you have her to cheer you on, Alex!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Pure awesomeness. You are both well suited to each other. Nice to see when love works :)
