Ghost Peppers

There are just some moments in your marriage that make you bust out laughing.  Like truly fall out on the floor laughing.  Tonight we shared one of those moments.

Friday, Porch & I were out grocery shopping and he found a new type of salsa made by his favorite brand, Mrs. Renfro's.  Personally, I'm not a masochist, but we all know Porch is so we bought it:  Ghost Pepper Salsa.

Last night, we were talking about whatever and he randomly starts talking about how wouldn't it be fun for me to video his reaction to said salsa?   I shrugged and decided I would likely have nothing better to do.

Cue tonight.  We were due to be at a wedding but I was not feeling very well and the heat was kicking my ass.  So we stuck close to home and I took advantage of a cat nap.  Sad, but true.  It's like a thousand degrees here today & while we're kicking it on the couch in front of the fan, watching Parks & Rec on Netflix (we live a pretty classy life), Porch announces, "I think I'm ready to try my salsa now."

I sprint down the hall to get my Flip! video camera.  Wouldn't want you guys to miss this one...

You're welcome in advance.
Also, we probably need to get out more.
Or drink more water or something.  The heat makes people crazy.

Update:  the video I posted was too big I think.  So I made you this amazing video with the Flip software -- enjoy.



The video is actually 10 minutes long.  If you ever want to see the entire thing (we know you don't), we can certainly share that gem with you.



Notice:  We were in no way compensated for posting about Mrs. Renfro's, Netflix, or Parks & Rec, or my Flip camera. It was just a normal Saturday evening at Casa de Los Porchs. But if we had been, that'd be pretty sweet (and a little less depressing, right?).

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
