Friday Free for All

by JM

Hello all and TGIF, right? Well, by the time it’s starting to be Friday where a lot of you live, it’s already Friday afternoon here, but that’s beside the point. It’s Friday and that’s a good thing. It’s also the start of the month of my birth, which puts me in a pretty good mood.

Today I have decided to do something a little different (that we have done here once before, but we did it months ago). I have my usual Friday post, but I do tend to be an easily bored person, so switching things up every now and then makes me happy.

Inspired by the Weekend Soiree over at Wifely Steps (and pretty much using her idea, to be honest, but you can go over there and play on her site as well!), we’re going to have a bit of conversation here on site. I’ll be responding when and where I can, but it would be great for the readers to respond to each other as well.

If you make a comment and it doesn’t show up, let me know using the ‘contact me’ button under the site description on the right. That way, as soon as I see the email I can rescue it from the depths of the spam filter. But, seeing as the spam filter is no longer regarding me as spam, I’m hoping none of you will have any problem.

The way the game works is this:

I pick a theme that we’ll be talking about and will start off things with a question. The first person to come along will then answer that question and ask another question still relating to the theme.

Eg. The theme is peanut butter. I ask, “Do you like peanut butter?” Someone answers and at the end of the comment asks, “When was the first time you tried peanut butter?” So on and so forth.

Easy? Yes, I thought so. Which brings me to the theme and the question for this week:

Theme: Your Partner

Question: What was the first thing about your partner that truly attracted you to him/her?

    We met online so the first thing I really noticed that drew me in was that we could talk for hours about anything and everything and he really cared about what I had to say or what I felt. Also he used to call just to say hi and see how I was doing. Very cute.

    When I finally met him in person, it was everything about him. His blue eyes, muscular arms, and just how terribly cute he was.

    Okay my question:
    What the first thing you remember NOT LIKING about your partner?

  2. JM Says:

    It was the same for me and my hubby. :D

    To answer your question, I think it was that he lacked confidence sometimes when it came to his own abilities. He didn’t (and doesn’t) regard himself as a great guy.

    Let’s see…

    What is your partner’s favourite saying?

  3. Jenera Says:

    There are quite a few things that Daniel says all the time. His favorite being ‘Plain and simple’ especially when he is upset.

    Next question:

    What is your partners favorite movie?

  4. JM Says:

    I don’t think he has just one favourite movie. He likes Australian classics like ‘The Dish’. He loved the new Get Smart movie.

    So… yeah… :D

    Question: What is your partner’s occupation?

  5. Toni Says:

    My husband’s an Art Director for a television network. :)

    What’s the first thing your partner does in the morning?

  6. JM Says:

    Hi Toni! :)

    My hubby turns off the alarm and then rolls over to cuddle me for a bit. :)

    What is the best thing your partner does for you on a regular basis?
