Snow Day!

Winter fooled ya! Yesterday, it was in the 60's and everybody is outside without jackets enjoying the warming weather and today...blowing snow and weather warnings. Winter is saying "neener, neener, neener" one more time.

That's ok. I have things to do inside. Who needs to go outside in the fresh air, wearing sandals, with the sunroof open? I'd rather clean my house. Not.

Not Wearing Wedding Ring

Well, I haven't lost enough weight yet to put my wedding ring back on without feeling claustrophobic at how tight it is.  That's just weird that it would make me feel claustrophobic!  I can get it on but it is very difficult to take it off so I don't wear it.

I am contemplating whether I should look at a basic wedding band, maybe some wholesale jewelry, so I still have the "I'm married" ring on my finger. I don't feel right not wearing my wedding ring.

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.

Couture Jewelry for Christmas

Here is a really good idea as a Christmas gift for her: Put Couture Jewelry in her stocking. Many women love getting jewelry as gifts. I'm one of them. Just bring on the sparklies!

Whatever you do, do NOT buy her appliances unless she specifically asked for something in particular. Buying a microwave or a vacuum cleaner will not go over well. Buy her something from your heart!

When Guys Get in Trouble



I just found this VERY funny site that explains to men what jewelry to buy and when - engagement rings, earrings, 'I'm sorry' jewelry, anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, baby's birth, etc. Men need to know this stuff! It's a one-stop advice and shopping haven for men. It had me laughing several times!

My man is usually really good (I say "usually" because he had one bad jewelry choice early on in our relationship) at buying jewelry but I know a lot of guys get that glazed look in their eyes when it is brought up. Men just don't have any idea what kind of jewelry to give or when to give it. They don't want to give something that means more than it should (don't want a woman to get confused over a ring you thought she'd like versus a ring she thinks is an engagement ring when it's not...boy would that be uncomfortable to talk your way out of!). They also don't want to give a piece of jewelry that doesn't mean enough.

I'll give you an example of great gift-giving. After the birth of each of our kids, on the Mother's Day that followed the birth, my husband bought me a ring that had the baby's birthstone in it. It was a very sweet, sensitive gesture. Not only do I have many good pieces of jewelry to choose from now (in many colors), but the jewelry means the world to me to have and wear. It will be something I can pass down to my kids down the road. I would definitely recommend this for dads to do as a gift for mom after the birth of their child or for the Mother's Day immediately following the birth! It'll be THE most appreciated gift, besides your newborn, of course.

Another example of gift-giving, that didn't go that well, was in the beginning of our relationship, when my husband and I had only been dating a very short time. He bought me an expensive gold necklace for Valentine's Day. I thanked him and acted pleased but internally, it freaked me out a bit. It was a serious gift at that early point in our relationship and it made me nervous (I know, usually it's the guy that gets a case of the nerves). A pair of earrings would've been better (and the web site, Bella True, in the "Tips for Guys" section confirms my feelings.) It was too serious, too fast, and I stopped dating him for a couple months shortly after that. OK, I ran - fast. I admit it.

The web site not only has pretty jewelry, but useful advice for the guy who is unsure what he should do and when he should do it and it gives us women a chance to laugh out loud because we can see our guy, or past boyfriends, in these predicaments.



You seriously need to bookmark the Tips for Guys page at Bella True and forward the link onto the boyfriends, husbands, brothers, uncles, etc. They need a little direction!

Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my birthday! Happy Birthday to Me!

Usually I am looking at womens jewelry but this year, I told my husband not to spend any money on me. I'd rather it go towards our bills that seem to keep piling up. Otherwise, I'll just feel guilty. Knowing him, he won't listen because he thinks gifts are a necessity.

Since I'm learning to play guitar, maybe he'll surprise me with a guitar amp for my birthday. I know he's been looking at them. I'm learning to play on an electric guitar but I eventually want to switch over to a folk size acoustic (that I can still hook up into an amp of course!).

Did You Forget Grandparents Day?



Did you remember that Grandparents Day was this past Sunday? We did (well, I did). I hope you remembered to do something nice for the grandparents of your children (buy a nice gift like Yellow gold diamond necklaces, perhaps a gift certificate to a nice restaurant, a phone call). Perhaps you just dropped all your kids off at their grandparents house so they could spend the day together (giving you the day off). That sounds like a great gift to me!

Did you forget that Grandparents Day even exists? I know a lot of people aren't even aware of it but if you need to score points with the in-laws, it's worth it to keep it on your calendar.

Congrats to My Little Brother

My little brother surprised me a couple weeks ago and married his girlfriend. Many of us were all expecting a wedding next year. He pulled a "me" and had a quickie ceremony in front of the judge in a civil ceremony instead. It's what my husband and I did when we were in the middle of a court fight with his ex, no extra funds for a wedding, and we just wanted to be married without all the family hassles involved.

Everybody has met his new wife, except me. I'm hoping to meet her the next time we head to their state for vacation. Everybody talks highly of her and my little brother (who towers over me by the way) is a good guy so I'm sure she's great.

I did see a picture of them afterwards but you know what? I didn't notice if they were both wearing rings and what kind! I should have looked. I can't believe I didn't. My only excuse is that my kids are running me ragged this summer. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to think of much of anything except where which kid has to be next.

There are so many choices now for wedding bands available. It's not just gold or silver anymore. I really like the palladium rings. I think my husband would too (and we always planned to update his wedding band eventually because his band just isn't very comfortable).

Do you like feet?

I was reading in our local paper today of a woman who wrote needing help with her boyfriend who was obsessed with her feet. The column is like a Dear Abby but "Abby" is a Pastor in this case so I was surprised at the topic! Who would write to a religious man about wanting a more intimate relationship (beyond her feet) with a man she wasn't married to knowing it would be published? Um...not me!

I guess there are worse relationship problems out there than being overly interested in feet. I wasn't sure if she was going to ask him to get therapy or slip on white ankle bracelets and enjoy this aspect of her boyfriend. I might just have to pretty up my feet, put on an ankle bracelet and heels and enjoy being made to feel pretty (because feet aren't the prettiest part of the human body so if somebody thinks they are...is that a bad thing?) unless other parts of our relationship suffered because of the heavy interest in these funny-looking things called feet.

Father's Day Gifts - A Great Giveaway from Blogaways


Father's day is just around the corner. Have you decided what to give your husband for being such a wonderful father? Usually, mine has his own gift picked out himself by this time but I think he's undecided at this point. (I get off easy at gift-giving time usually because he always has an "I want..." list going on at any given time.)

With the economy the way it is, how nice would it be to WIN a beautiful gift for the father of your children (or your own father)? Blogaways has this great jewelry giveaway going on right now that includes a chain and bracelet from Titanium Jewelry.






I love a man in jewelry. My husband wears it and I think he looks F-I-N-E in it. Male celebrities wear it well too. LL Cool J has a F-I-N-E classiness to his look too. Some men just wear jewelry well.

It's definitely worth checking out. If not for the man in your life, then for yourself. It really is pretty jewelry.

Men's Jewelry

When I met my husband, he had ear rings. He went on to get another ear piercing (actually we both got a matching piercing together) and shortly thereafter, we looked at men's jewelry to pick him out a very nice wedding band with diamonds. I like a man who can wear jewelry and feel comfortable doing so. Finding jewelry at good prices is even more attractive!
