The rotten orange

I bought a bags of oranges at Wal-Mart. They were gross. The stringy, not sweet at all kind. I ate two, hoping the second one would be better than the first....but it wasn't. I have a hard time throwing things away when they haven't gone bad (or expired) so I let this bag of oranges sit in the fridge. After who knows how long I started to smell a funk every time I opened the fridge. I figured it was the oranges and I kept thinking to myself.."I need to throw those away". Finally the smell got so bad that I decided to throw those darn things out..One of the oranges in the bag looked something like this...

gross, I know

Oh..that's probably why my fridge wreaks. So, I figured since the oranges were gone, the smell would be too. WRONG! After a week of smelling the rotten orange every time I open my fridge or freezer and every time I drink water from the fridge, I decided to take everything out and clean it. 

-Scrubbed down the fridge with bleach cleanser..smell is still there

-Threw out everything that was old, or may have been an additional culprit for the smell...smell is still there

-Scrubbed down the freezer..smell is still there

-Emptied the ice machine, scrubbed that out...smell is still there. 

-Cleaned the counters, the floors, the cabinet doors, the appliances...smell is still there.

THIS SMELL IS HAUNTING ME! It's on my hands and on my clothes and in my hair, I swear it! 

I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up tomorrow and there was a rotten orange staring me in the face..Help!

FOR THE HOLIDAYS...

This Holiday Season went by way to fast for me and Jesse. We put down all of our decorations today, and I can't even believe it. The Friday before Christmas we had a big party with the Tate's. Jesse introduced us all to this game...

BEST GAME EVER!!!

The whole night Jesse kept telling us how badly we needed to play it, and now I can see why. I recommend you all go out and buy one for yourselves! 

SLEDDING!

On Christmas Eve we headed up to Cedar. We went sledding with my family and then had dinner at my moms house. My brother and sister-in-law did made their famous gumbo, so good! We introduced my family to Telestrations as well and they all loved it. We draw names for Christmas with my fam, this year my mom had my name and got me this...

Yay!! I've wanted one of these for a long time. I've been using it for the past week and I already see an improvement! Thanks Mom!!!

Breakfast at the Tate's

After opening presents at my moms we headed over to the Tate's for the rest of the day. We ate so much good food and played Telestrations and Pass the Popcorn. Jesse's parents got us a really nice spaghetti pot and I'm really excited to use it! 

For New Years Jesse and I were flying solo. We bought treats and apple cider and stayed up until about 12:15. ha ha... Although it went fast, it was a great few weeks!
