When I met my husband he was the lead guitar player and some vocals in one of the most popular cover bands in the area where we lived. He had many of the women in the crowds hoping. Boy did they hate me when I came along! It was an "at first sight" thing with us so they didn't have a chance (even when they threatened to kick my you know what to try to get to him).
After getting married, it became too hard to keep up the band with work and family obligations so he dropped the band. He still writes music but the days of playing out in the bars every weekend are long gone. After a couple years, he also dropped the ear rings too. I LOVED the ear rings! I think a man who wears mens jewelry tastefully can pull it off with no problem.
So guys, clean up your fingernails, put on some clean clothes (that aren't wrinkled), slip on a piece of tasteful jewelry, and do something nice for and with your woman.

THE Fender Guitar
My husband just picked up a Fender electric guitar. Being the girly girl that I am, I can't tell you what model it is just yet. I just know what it cost (twice as much as my SUV payment). Seeing how he'd sold three of his guitars to make our house payment last month, I couldn't say no to him!
Eh, who am I kidding? I rarely say "no" to him anyway. This is his "big boy toy".
Top 10 Grooming Mistakes Men Make
We've all been around men who have done some of these things. Now askmen.com has given us a list to look at of the Top 10 Grooming Mistakes Men Make. Some of them are: using too much cologne (definitely!), having dirty nails (eww), ignoring nose and ear hair (another eww), having straggly, messy facial hair (we don't want Bigfoot or to be seen with somebody who looks like a mug shot), and not taking care of body hair (please take care of the back hair!). There are others but I thought these were the most important.
Get Your Stuff Back!
How many times have you lent something to a friend, only to never see it again? Are you comfortable asking for it back? Did you forget about it?
There is a tracking tool you can use at Return My Pants whether you are a lender or a borrower. You can set it to send reminders too!
The BIG Ohio State Game
The game is at Michigan this year in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Don't miss it! If you want to hear a live feed when the game starts, click here.
We have a divided household. I was born in Michigan. Two of our kids were born in Michigan, but two of our kids were born in Ohio. I've jumped ship and become a Buckeye fan but the kids are divided. The husband has not converted to the Buckeyes yet.

Road Cycling & Mountain Biking
My overgrown boy is an avid road cyclist. He can go 20-30 miles in under an hour on his bike up and down hills, twisting and turning around the country roads. He comes home sweaty and exhilarated. He follows all the cycling news and watches the Tour de France every year. It's a definite love - cycling.
He used to be an avid mountain biker but several bad spills later through wooded trails and his old bones just aren't taking the hits as well as they used to. That's when he switched to road cycling.
He loves it so much that he'll even hit the pavement on his bike in the winter on days when the sun is out, making it seem warmer than it is. I guess it's a nice reprieve from a long, cold winter. The sun reflecting off the snow though can be painful for him. Sport Sunglasses are a must when cycling no matter the season. He always wears eye protection, the proper shoes, and makes sure his bike is maintained. He doesn't want to break down 30 miles from the house and start walking back!
