Orange Glo and Christmas dresses

I've been wanting to bash Orange Glo on my blog this whole week, but haven't had the chance.  First of all, I like to leave things humorous or positive on here.  We have bad moments in my house.  I would love to bash things and complain, but who wants to read that?  Well, today is an exception...sort of.  Maybe more like a public announcement.  It goes like this:

I hope Santa feeds Rudolph a bean burrito and he digests it right as he flies over the CEO of Orange Glo's house. 

THAT is how much I hate Orange Glo.  It says on the bottle, "It leaves behind a clear, non-slip shine without leaving buildup or sticky residue."  LIES!!!! 

Google "Orange Glo ruined my hardwood floors".  It's amazing.  There are millions of poor helpless souls like me that used Orange Glo to clean their floors and ended up with floors that had a grimy, gray, foggy, dirty texture to it afterwards.  It was horrible.  I tried the Shark steam mop.  Nothing.  I tried diluted vinegar.  Nothing.  I spent hours researching online about how to get rid of this nasty, filmy,  gray stuff on my floors.  I was so nervous.  People would post "Don't use vinegar."  "Don't use ammonia."  "Don't do anything, call a professional."  I just didn't know what to do.  There is even a website that charges you 9.99 to give you the "Solution" to getting rid of the Orange Glo on your floors!! 

Finally I decided to do the method that everybody seemed to be doing.  I tested it on a small area first and luckily it worked like a charm.  The magic weapon against Orange Glo is Windex.  I had to spray windex on, wait about 20 seconds, then using paper towels, wipe it off.  The paper towel would be a grayish brown.  You had to keep getting a new paper towel because you didn't want to keep spreading the Orange Glo.  When I realized it would work and not damage my floor, I rolled up my sleeves, and spent two days, on my knees, scrubbing my floors...all 1700 square feet of wood floors downstairs.  Here is what the Orange Glo company owes me:

1.  apology for lying
2.  3 rolls of paper towels
3.  2 bottles of windex
4.  2 aleve (I woke up with the sorest shoulder EVER.  And I played volleyball FOREVER.)
5.  8 hours of my life back.

I would make them owe me knee pads, but my volleyball team that I coached a couple of years ago just couldn't stop winning tournaments and one tournament we won gave us the option of new socks or knee pads as a prize.  I was disgusted at the time, but now I'm thankful.  Thanks girls for winning!  :)

So there it was.  I hate Orange Glo.  Don't use it.  Don't use any cleaner.  I'm only using my steam mop from now on.  Just good old water. 

Now to brighten the mood...Christmas dresses!!!



Aubrie putting the bridle on for Emilie




Emilie's dress was Aubrie's 18 month dress.  A little short.  Aubrie picked her dress out during my famous Kohls shopping trip.  They matched pretty well!  And here is a better view of Aubrie's hair from the back.  I think the lady did a really good job for all the jerking around that was happening. 

 Tia had her Christmas concert at church tonight.  As always, it was wonderful.  She works so hard and does so well.  She's a very talented pianist and we look forward to her teaching our girls how to play.  Another fun event was Josie stopping by!  She was in the neighborhood and dropped by.  She got to be a part of our rock band.  I forgot what she got to play, but she did pretty well.  Dad even got into this time. 

All the excitement got Petey fired up and sometimes he doesn't have a healthy outlet for his excitement or other emotions so this happened...

Oh well, I wanted new throw pillows anyways. 

Love to all!!
