Ack! Entrecard ad just wrong!

Ack! Did you see the Entrecard ad to the left today? The woman is looking to get undressed in the picture. That's not what I would have picked for this blog.

I am seriously considering removing all the entrecard ads from my blogs. I stopped paying much attention to them when they switched their advertising method but never removed them. However, now I have thousands of credits (probably about 15,000 or thereabouts) with them from when I did participate. Are they worth anything to anybody? Who knows.

Edited to add: Whew! Glad the ad changed. They should really have higher standards on what pictures they accept on their advertising.

Behind in Thanksgiving Plans

Boy will I be happy when Friday hits, but that also means it is that much closer to Thanksgiving. I haven't even started figuring out what we're eating yet. I've been busy with work and grounding kids that it's not been a priority.

My husband mentioned today about going shopping on Black Friday. Is he nuts? I went out ONCE on Black Friday and I was so disgusted at every store I went to by people's behavior that I walked out of every store empty-handed and finally went home. He has no idea. I think he means for ME to go out shopping but I think he should go. It was his idea after all! My preference is checking out the Black Friday ads for online shopping. It's my favorite kind of shopping!

Christmas Gift Ideas for Men: Mens Jewelry

I think most women appreciate nice jewelry as gifts. For the first decade of our marriage, it is what my husband bought for all holidays and special occasions (and he has great taste too). Wouldn't it be nice to step out with your guy with him wearing a nice piece of mens jewelry too?

I have always loved when my husband wore a piece of jewelry. I think it's sexy and if the guy knows what YOU think about it, perhaps having Santa leave him a little something under the tree would be nice too. After all, if your guy is like mine, he's probably given you so much already.

Send out baby shower invitations during hunting season!

What is the best day to throw a baby shower at this time of year? I say the best day is football game day or during hunting season. With football and hunting season well under way, now is the perfect time to get all the girls together for a shower (party, get together, just to have fun) for all those hunting and football widows out there. Of course, there are women who enjoy both too.

For me personally, I'd prefer to send out the baby shower invitations while the boys were away hunting or watching football to get some good girl time in. Unless it is during the big game - Ohio State University vs. University of Michigan this weekend. Even though I'm not a big fan of football, that is one game I always keep an eye on.
