Time for my Wednesday Randomness:
First things first:
I was just days away from being sent my payment from Google AdSense, yet I just received an email stating that my account was disabled due to risk to the advertisers. Now, I have no idea what that means, and of course there is no contact information to have my questions answered. Did I mention I was just about to be paid? Coincidence? Come on now. I’m just saying. My advice to all you bloggers who have AdSense…take it off and stop making them money that you will never see. I know it’s happened to the best of us, and apparently it’s all over the AdSense forums…so I’m jumping on the boycotting bandwagon as well. Read this article to see how Google was sued and the guy won!
On to happier things:
Blogversations this coming Saturday…Remember in elementary school when we had circle time? And during circle time we got to bring something to show off to our friends? Show & Tell?
Ya, that’s the idea. Take that and go from there. No video? I’ll make another exception. But you have to at least take a picture…and you have to attempt to video next time. Those are my rules and I’m sticking to them.
Now about making things clear:
In case my previous post caused any confusion, I was being slightly sarcastic when I said my sister saved my marriage. To be clear, I have a great marriage. I just don’t like being asked to cook. It felt like the end of the world being asked and so in good Summer fashion, I exaggerated. Sarcasm + Exaggeration = Confused Readers. I love my husband, love my marriage, hate cooking…..working on compromising. There, that about settles that.
And now to make the rest of you happy:
American Idol is boring me. Just give the trophy to Danny and lets move on already.
I adore America’s Next Top Model. But, how is it that Tyra scares me more than Miss Jay? And blood girl, what??? Seriously, if I wasn’t “too old” to be on the 5’7 and under season, I would so apply.
Dancing with the Stars? I’m watching this for the first time. Why? Because I need Melissa to win. So that, together, we can show Jason that we’re better off without him. Hmmmph. But, then I’m conflicted because I want Steve-O to do well so that he’s able to build up his self esteem. You know, for his sobriety. I have quite a vested interest in that you know. I mean, I did read his blogs while in rehab. While HE was in rehab…to be clear…again.
And lastly….
Ellen.
Oh Ellen.
My friend and fellow blogger Mama Kat has been talking (obsessing) about her for some time. And although, I think her comedy is hilarious, I’ve never really watched her show. But, I did tune in when she brought through the characters from The Bachelor last week. And suddenly, I understood.
Sweet Ellen.
She makes me laugh. Out loud. And at times, I’m lauging so hard I cry. And when I’m home all day with the kids, that laugh is just what I need.
So Kathy, I understand your crush now.
In fact, you might even have some competition.*
*Kidding…I’m kidding. She’s all yours. Please still be my friend. Let’s go shopping.*

LOL. Ellen is definitely hilarious.
I’m loving Dancing With the Stars this season. I’d love for Melissa to win, but I’m also rooting for Steve-O or Shawn Johnson, because she is so darn cute.
I had to give you a “not so much” mark for this post.
When Adsense stops sending me checks each month I will TOTALLY join the boycott. Until then I will enjoy being bought out.
I’m with you 100% on every show…including watching the dancing show for Melissa. Never did care much for it before. Lil’Kim might keep me around as well.
As for Ellen.
Ahem.
How to put this politely….
back the frick up. She’s mine. I’ll bring you back a t-shirt.
Yeah, AdSense can kiss my big toe. Isn’t it lovely how they just say–you’re a risk–, BUT you can’t talk to any real people about it and they won’t give you any specific reason.
Losers.
I am going to *try* to do blogversations this week, promise.
Last week was the first time I watched Ellen as well. Now I record the show daily.
Steve-O wrote a blog? Interesting.
Great topic this week. Guess I’ll finally put my lovely self on a video…just have to figure out what to share…
My adsense just got shut down, too. It’s a dang scam if ya ask me. I totally get your sarcasm, and I love it. Idol – yes – Danny, Danny, Danny. Love him. I think if he gets voted off before the finals, I’ll probably quit watching. I friggin’ LOVE Ellen. I DVR her show and watch it during the day. She cracks me up so much, and she does the most fun, crazy things on her show. I just love her. Ok, must get to bed. 11:23 p.m. Morning will be here too soon.
Join the club on AdSense. I have heard of them doing similar things to even large volume accounts. And given the drop in net based ads, I’d expect even more sites to get the stupid letter of doom. Oh well.
I went through and read the forum and read the FAQs and it all sounds really fishy to me. They say that they can’t give you any information on why your account was disabled. Thats BS! I’m with you on boycotting it.
I watched Ellen last week too for the Bachelor guests….I laughed out loud for like five minutes when the woman working at Starbucks said “Sorry I can’t hear you my sister is giving birth in my head” LOL, laughing out loud right now!
I agree about American Idol, just give up people!
I too am watching Dancing with the Stars for the first time, GO Melissa!
I will be home this weekend.. so I will totally show and tell via video!!!
Google will be owing me my 1st check soon.. I am at about $50.. and when I reach $100.. i want to have a grand givweaway.. so they had better not screw me!!!
I wrote a big post not so long ago professing my love for Ellen. What took you so long?
AI, Danny, agreed. Completely.
haha….i am right there with ya when it comes to ANTM, Tyra is stinkin scary at times and although I am not a devoted Danceing with the Stars watcher I do think that Melissa enjoys some happiness.
Finally American Idol is fading fast, the show is boring and I don’t like the new way they are running things…therefore they have lost my viewership.
fun post…ellen rocks!
I adore the picture of you and Ellen…lovely photshop work!
You need to read Ellen’s books. They are quite hilarious! So glad you discovered her awesomeness 🙂
I thought about putting Adsense on my blogs but I’m glad I didn’t.
Please stop by my blog, Eat at Home and leave a comment today. Each comment is worth $1 for the Global Food Crisis fund and all you have to do is comment. SITS girls are great at that!
Agree about Ellen, shes awesome.
Hey My Dearie, hows about you shoot me over your mailing address? I have a little something up my sleeve for ya. What, it is not an exploding box, who told you that lie? Geeze, you think you know someone through their blog, then that accusation comes flying out of the closet again… I kid, I kid. I think you will like it.
Thank you!
When I was home on bedrest, I looked forward to Ellen making me laugh every day.
As for blogversations, I am definitely asking my husband if I can borrow his camera for this week. I want to show and tell!
all i really have to say is….
i love you and think you are like..really, really funny =)
My google adsense account was disable too for whatever reason.
Try the BlogHer ads-I am happy with them.
Also, I loooove Ellen! She cracks me up!
What made me laugh harder-have you seen her talk to Gladys??

You will die laughing. I promise.
I agree. Idol is boring me. So much so that sat down last night and watched the recorded episodes for the last 3 shows and fast forwarded it through more than half it. Danny is going to take it.
Ellen…LOVE LOVE her. She cracks my stuff up all the time.
