Try to let your readers know you are linking up over here...

 With New Years Eve Upon us....

I figured I would post a DIP.

We seem to have alot of DIPS at our parties...

Those ya eat...

and those that attend....

Chipotle Ranch Dip

1 Cup Mayo

1 Cup Sour Cream

2 1/2 tablespoons Dry Ranch Mix

3 diced Green Onions

1 clove minced garlic

1 chipotle pepper from a can, diced

1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

Mix it all together and serve!
YUMMO!

You can also omit the mayo and use 2 cups sour cream....

OR

add more chipotle to spice it up more....

I Just Want to Share with You....

I am not a blog of reviews....

I do not get paid to advertise for companies.

However,

from time to time....

I do like to tell you about

"STUFF"

that I like...

To start things off...

I have skin/allergy issues.

I can not tolerate using a regular laundry soap for very long.

We would use things like tide free & clear

and downy for a softener.

EXPENSIVE!!

ALSO

Those of you with front loading washers...

Have you ever noticed a FUNK smell

ya know... from your washer?

OR

You have the leave the door open just a bit

so it doesn't mildew or mold.

I have now solved the problem of BOTH issues...

Thanks to this stuff...

This laundry soap is SUPER awesome.

You use 1 tablespoon of the powder in an HE washer.

So that means a $15 bag does 90 loads.

That is cheap.

The soap was originally made for diapers.

You can click here to go to their website.

Works great on all types of clothes also.

I even wash my delicates, sweaters, and some dry clean only with this stuff.

After a couple of months....

our clothes started looking new again.

This stuff does not build up on your clothes like normal

laundry soap and fabric softener.

Our towels once again absorb water...

Our clothes don't have a dingy fade to them.

At all!

This stuff also works great for taking out stains!

I have soaked out everything from Oklahoma RED mud... to blood.

Yes, I said soaked....

Not scrubbed...

To compliment the soap...

I use wool dryer balls.

These things speed up drying time.

I will say there is a static problem in the winter with these things...

with our towels and sheets,

we do throw in a dryer sheet here and there....

So, by using the Rockin' Green soap over the past year and a half...

My clothes stay new looking...

I don't get a rash and itchy....

My washer FUNK is gone...

My towels absorb....

I am saving money....

It's a WIN in all situations!!!

Talk Time

It's that time again...

TTUT

With Shawn and IA

So I have probably made it to the naughty blogger list....
Evidently I pissed some bloggers straight off...
How did I loose 6 followers over Christmas?
Well to those 6
I am waving with one finger right now and smiling.... 

I am TOTALLY excited.
I am getting a bloggy make over soon.
REAL SOON
So be ready....
I can't wait!
I have seen a draft.
It is bombdiggity.

Christmas is over.
This excites me.

In a round of dirty santa,
Jasper got a new blanket
I think he loves it...

The Hubs got an awesome new hat!

He wants to take the top off the jeep

and test out the hat...

 We recently had a whole home DVR system put in....
I don't watch tv...
But Kobi and The Hubs are enjoying it, fo sho!
ALL I got out of it was this....I had to empty my scentsy closet.
Take out the shelving....
Then put it all back.
Just so the system could be installed.
The smart box is in the back of the closet...
And evidently .... you have to get to it...
UGH!
Darn stupid smart box.

My neighbors never cease to amaze me....
There was a little holiday funnies going on
over the weekend....
This was one of them.

So....

This week I am in "FREAK THE F%*@ OUT" mode

We have New Year's Eve to get ready for....

I have not recovered from Christmas though...

I am totally ready to get sloshed see all the

people of walmart costumes.

So who wants to come join us?

LOL

Tasty on a Thursday!

It totally rocked.
VIP Table up in front of the stage.

They would not allow pictures

AT ALL

Well unless you paid them $10

Then they would take a picture with your phone.

I snuck a picture.

I had to hide at the back of the room and ZOOM.

So the quality is not that great....

That's my friend Terry up on stage with them.

Yup she spent alot of time on stage that night...

Handcuffed to a chair

Center Stage

Hard bodies all over her.

I thought so....

After the show...

We gambled.

They gave us $10 free play.

I brought home an extra $80

That was AFTER giving $100

THE DAY!!!

I am SO SO SO not a morning person....

Thank Goodness for the elevator at work...

It's mirrored all the way around.

Give you that FULL LOOK

front & back!

Let's you know if you should be ok for

meeting with clients....

Or you should hide in your office all day....

Ignore the total looking away... I had about a 10 second photo op in the elevator.

Pretty much failed... but you can see the whole mirror thing going on anyhow...

Just don't look at me...

I said...

DON'T  LOOK!!

Today...

I think we get Kobi's car back.

I totally hope.

I can't take it any more...

Her car was wrecked at the end of September.

There was mucho underneath damage.

Hers was in the shop getting fixed about the same time mine was...

Well, she can't drive a rental...

So she gets to drive my car...

*sigh*

NOT FAIR....

I had to drive this most of the time...

A little hatch back...

UGH.

ANYWHO....

We got Kobi's car back....

It still had issues so we took it back in...

They "fixed" it....

We got Kobi's car back....

It still had the SAME issues so we took it back in....

They "fixed" it....

We got Kobi's car back....

It still had the SAME issues so we took it back in....

They "fixed" it....

We got Kobi's car back....

It still had the SAME issues so we took it back in....

You getting the picture here?

I stayed calm.

I really did....

And they told me they appreciated my patience...

Each of the 5 times I took it back.

Last Friday, I turned in the rental and picked up her car...

They SWORE they had it right this time...

Kobi took off in her car to go babysit and I get the call...

MOM!  My "sailboat light" is on....

(that is what she calls her light that shows it is overheating)

I went and gave her my car...

Brought hers back home.

I then called the dealership that is responsible/over for the

body shop that was "fixing" her car.

2 Entities that have "same name" but really work seperately.

I asked for the highest level of management that was present at the time

to be put on the phone.

I got the GM

My first words were...

I am sorry for the ass chewing your are about to receive...

I know you know nothing of this situation

AND
you are not the cause of this situation...

BUT

and then I let him have it.

It felt GOOD too!

The next morning...

I was not driving a rental...

I was driving this...

A brand new 2012 right off the lot.

I know this is going to make me sound like a total hick...

But did you know they don't use keys anymore?

Just a remote.

And a push button.

It has been an adjustment.

It is nice...

BUT

I want my car back.

The Hubs asked last night if I was ready for a new car now...

I told him no. I LOVE my car.

Kobi is having a hard time giving my car up...

She'll get over it...

It's mine...

I wonder if she has figured out that the GPS system is only on her car...

AND we have not been able to GPS her these last few weeks....

LOL

You know the funny thing is....

Even though this has been a pain in the patootie...

I would still take my car back to the same place to get it fix.

CRAZY I know...

TUESDAY!

OH TUESDAY!

Sick and wrong...

30 Minutes Flat....

My darling daughter Kobi works 2 jobs. 

She works at a Childcare Center during the week....

Then she works someplace else on the weekends.

This past week the Center was having the

Christmas Program

This meant Kobi had 30 minutes to

Get Home

Change Clothes

Primp

Eat

Get decorations & props up to the church 1 mile away....

We live only a couple of blocks away from the center.

Often times her friends that work there,

Use our house in a time crunch.

I get home from work about 4:30ish ---totally love flex time

I prepped for several kiddos.

Didn't know how many there would be.

Hot Dogs, Chili Dogs, Frito Chili Pie

Quick, Easy, Will feed many.

You remember the room looking like this?

Yup... It looked like this...

In NO TIME!!

It even spilled over into the bathroom....

They INHALED some food...

They said they didn't have time to sit down...

LOL

I was outside.... sneaking a picture in through the back door.

BUT

They did have time to take a couple group shots.

Haliegh, Kobi, & Anna

Hmmmmm guess they raided her closet, too.....

Over the weekend I was going to get prepped and ahead on my blog...

You can do it too!

Just click the button and link up!

Evidently I thought that everyone needed to know more about ME during these 3 months...

as I posted 10 Facts and 7 Facts.

I also posted LOTS of recipes.

Posting recipes is actually what got me started blogging.

I had many MANY requests for my recipes.

I cook alot....

Easier to share on the internet,

than to write it down

5 Bajillion times

Lime Aides

Chicken Tater Tot Crockpot Stuff

Sliders

Cinnamon Rolls

Buffalo Chicken

Spinach Dip

Scalloped Chicken

Meatballs

I played along with the Cheer Up Swap....

Not gonna lie, Sorry but it SUCKED.

Not only was my package late...

Half the stuff was broken or messed up.

THEN my partner didn't even take the time

to blog about the great stuff she got.

I didn't want to embarrass her or call her out...

SO I smiled and made a NICE post.

My widdle doggie woggie got his fair share of attention in my blog....

And we found interesting things in the front yard.

I think everyone remembers the weather and the SNOW!

Man we got plenty.

I have to laugh at the picture I took from my office...

2 regular trucks, pulling out a semi truck:)

I also posted about Kobi getting her car for Christmas...

AND

I can never forget....

My dang week long hospital stay....

Now your turn...

This week I am bringing to you a FAV of mine...

Ranch Chicken Wonton Cups

1 pkg wonton wrappers

3-4 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded (or to make it simple use precooked fajita chicken)

2 packages shredded taco cheese (I used sharp cheddar)

1 (16 fl oz) bottle Ranch Dressing
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder

4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon

green onion to taste, chopped

Preheat oven to 425F.

1. Line cupcake pan with wonton wrappers. Bake 3-4 minutes until edges are brown. Continue with all wrappers until they are complete. Arrange baked shells on cookie sheets.

2.In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken and entire bottle of ranch dressing. Add 1 tsp chili powder (can add more depending on your taste), garlic powder and bacon. Fill shells with chicken mixture and top with cheese and green onions.

3.Bake until cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes.

You could also put buffalo chicken in the wontons....

switch it up a bit...

 2 packages of cream cheese

1 can of chicken (drained)

 1/2 c Frank's red hot sauce

Or make your own mixture...

These little cups are so versatile

It's all Good....

Wednesday already....

Whoah!

Time flies...

Is it the weekend yet?

I was totally going to do a blog post today about my blogging peeves.

Some bloggers just totally peeve me out.

But oh yes... someone already did that today.

Thanks IA !!

Thanks for giving me schnizzle to blog about!

Just kidding

IA is awesome...

 CLICK HERE TO READ her blog

I am going to add a few things though....

Turn off the word verification!

If I have to do a word verification...

I won't comment.

Well, there are a few I may...

Seriously, you should not be getting that much spam

that you can't go delete them.

NEXT.... fix your email

so you can respond to comments

Seriously, this is important!

If you do not want to use your personal email...

go create a Gmail in your blog name.

I personally have my comments sent to 2 email addresses.

One is my work that I see during the day...

The other is my Gmail.

I do answer a select few bloggers from my work email.

They could easily hunt me down.

ANYHOW, Brandy at You Don't Know has a good

tutorial on how to fix this..... CLICK HERE to see it :)

OK I am done ranting....

The last few days I have seen this across the hall from my home office....

Dear God

THIS SCARES ME!!

her room is clean!!

I mean WTF did she do?

She must me trying to break some sort of

"news" to me....

I won a sales award for selling so much SCENTSY over a period of time....

YEAH ME!  My prize came in the mail.

My very own limited edition warmer

Only 500 made 

and only for consultants 

All I can say is REALLY?

Every time I look at it....

I think of...

"FEED ME SEYMORE"

off of Little Shop of Horrors.

*SIGH*

I saw someone at the front of our housing addition painting their eves the other day....

BRIGHT RED!!

Gutters too!

AND

garage door!

the drive by photo conceals the color on the trim...

But trust me it is just as bright as the garage door...

The day after that....

I saw a for sale sign in the yard.

Seriously, I know you just repainted....

but I hope they are throwing in a cost allowance for new paint!

EEK!

Whoops I Did it Again!

OK, I totally slipped... Have not been posting to much lately.

SORRY!

It's been cah ray zeeee.

The Hubs is FINALLY back to work :)

The Moms are home...

Thanksgiving is over.....

But now, Kobi has taken on a second job. 

Originally it was to pay for her MANY wants.

Her first job pays for 1/2 her gas and 1/2 her insurance.

She has nothing left after that...

It's a good thing she got a 2nd job when she did...

Ticket anyone?

OHHHH wait...

What's that?

2 tickets in one week?

$300 later

Maybe now she has figured out...

Don't speed.

PERIOD

EVER

With the 2nd job that means no sleeping in on the weekends

If I don't have to get up to make sure she is up and moving....

I hear her getting ready and wake up.

The COOL thing is...

she gets all the Starbucks she wants

FREE

AND a Target Discount....

I try not to talk sports.

Because it really pisses me off irritates me.

There is a difference between supporting your team...

AND trash talk.

I don't approve of trash talk.

PERIOD.

This weekend was BEDLAM

OU vs OSU

We have friends from both sides.

We all know my Sooners SUCKED this year...

Hey, Baylor even beat us this year...

for the first time...

EVER

(Stephanie, I am joking!!)

Well kind of....

Saturday we hosted a football party.

TOTAL FUN!

These were the HAPPY ones!

They come every year to our bedlam party.

I know they cheer for the wrong team and wear the wrong colors....

But we still love them!

One more O State fan in the house....

She was keeping EVERY sooner fan in line....

See the guy in the red sooner hoodie in the pic below?

That is her Hubby.

He is going to be sporting an OSU cheerleader uniform to his favorite bar

with his BFF

Betting things can sometimes be BAD!!

Most OU fans just looked like this all night...

Notice my daughter in the back corner there...

She would DIE if she knew this picture was out there on the Internet somewhere....

That's what she gets for wearing an OSU shirt

in my house....

Funny thing is....

She was cheering for OU.

I think a good time was had be everyone....

ALL we did was make of the ridiculousness of the game

OH and EAT!
