On Top!

Welcome to Football Fandemonium! My twice a week rantings about all things college football! 

Last week I asked who would be #1 in the BCS poll and NEVER thought it would be
OKLAHOMA!

And in all honesty being number only does one thing for me at this point in the season...

makes me nervous!

The past 2 Saturdays the number 1 team has fallen. 

We play Missouri @ Missouri on Saturday. Not fun for my nervous system.

Sooners, you MUST win every game now. EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. 

Oh the nerves!!

In other news, 

Boise State is ranked 3. 3!!! Over an SEC Team. I think it is BS. Really. Oregon better keep winning as well as Oklahoma because I will die if I have to watch Boise State play for the National Title. Have you seen their schedule?  They don't play anyone! Their big claims to fame this season Va Tech (who was ranked 10 at the time but is currently UN-ranked) and Oregon State (who have lost 3 games this season making them UN-ranked)! Yup, that's right. They haven't played ANYONE! 

I would love to see them finally get to the "big game" and choke! Because I just really do not believe that Oklahoma will be playing in that game either, I think that it would be awesome for an SEC team to KILL THEM!! 

That is my rant for the day!!

BOOMER!!!

Spicy Mango Marinade

Who would have thought that I am starting to love being in the kitchen?!

The goal was to post a new recipe each week, but I realize now that I just don't always have the time for that. So, it's been a while. Oops! 

This week:  Spicy Mango Marinade!

What you will need:

3 oz. fresh mango slices
1/2 cup orange juice
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
juice from 1/2 lime
1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Throw it all in a bowl!

(if you are lucky enough to have better kitchen tools than I do, throw it in a food processor)

Process that stuff until smooth.

(I used a hand blender)

And then marinate your chicken or pork for at least an hour! 

It was oh so good!!!

Football... Dance...

Welcome to Football Fandemonium! My twice a week rantings about all things college football! 

So I really don't have a lot to say about football this week. Why? Because I have been locked in a dance audition since 7am on Thursday morning. 

All I really know is this. I would like Nebraska to beat Texas, regardless of how it makes us look. 

In other news today,

One of my darlings is performing in her first college dance show this weekend!!

Mared to Oatmeal!

And another one of my precious children is auditioning for the OU Pom Squad today!

Break a Leg Smooth!!

Love to you both and last thing...

BOOMER!

Birthday Month Continues!

It's My Birthday Month!!

And I celebrate all month long!

Dancing with my Mommy 20 years ago!
June 1990.

However, it is not just my birthday month...

It's the Crazy Lady's as well!!

Yup, we share a birthday! I was born on my Momma's 24th birthday! It is awesome sharing that day with my mother!! Fun fun fun I say! 

Happy Birthday Month to you Mommy!

Save-The-Dates (part two)

Welcome to Wedding Wednesdays where I gush about every detail of planning my wedding! 

The Save-The-Date cards are out and I am SUPER happy about it!

I only got 3 of them returned to me, so that is good! 

I really liked the way they turned out and I think that Stud Muffin did a fantastic job on the design!

One side of the card was a map of the Florida Keys. My Daddy just loves maps so that was for him.

The other side was a three fold card. One part calendar, one part hotel information and one part "Save-The-Date". The calendar part of the card is perforated and can be ripped off to hang on your fridge. I prefer to look at the entire map though. 

For the Save-The-Dates we used clear labels to address them. Stud Muffin looked at me like I had 3 heads when I said we had to hire someone to address the real invites. What are your thoughts on calligraphy and invites? Old fashioned & waste of money? Or simply a must?
