The best Chili Verde

So Darin and I were at Harmons a couple of weeks ago and they had a lady demoing The Spoon Roast. Well we decided that we were going to try it. It seemed easy.... We went shopping today and got the things needed for it. We had a long day of making this... let me tell you it is worth the wait. I am IN love with this pork. It is so nummy! I feel SO proud of myself, this was the first time I have ever used a crock pot... When I lived with my dad we at Fast Food every night... for 6 years... excluding family dinners at my grandma's or when I was with my mom. I am trying to learn from the mistakes and be a better wife.

SO anyway life here at the porter house is the same but at least we are alive! I am going to go on a mass Application spree next week and try to get a job some where near here and be able to move out and live on our own again. I am tired of being talked to like I am 3 years old. I do understand that I have been unemployed for a while....but I am still looking hard core.

I am working on a blanket again... I am also trying to read more.. I have decided to work on the list of books I have read. I am working on Pride and Prejudice... slowly when I get a chance to read....

well I need to be going, Hugs and Kisses

The New Year

I suppose i should write about Christmas and new years eve eh?

ok... So Christmas was quite mellow compared to last year, but i did miss a couple members of my family... My little sister and mom went on a cruise to Mexico then they spent Christmas in Disneyland...any way... i woke up early... so early i was up before my father in law who is usually up at 6 to work on his stocks... weird for the girl who doesn't wake up till 12... Darin and i went upstairs and got coffee and waited for everyone to wake their butts up... we open presents.... I got

•  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies the book
• Toe socks
• regular socks
• fuzzy slipper socks with peppermint lotion for my feets
• 2 beanies
• chocolate mint orange
• The ugly truth
• a new battery for the phone
• 50 first dates
• wedding date
• dreamgirls
• i used the money from Grandma Sugar to get some pants...

My dad is going to do what he did last year... that is just take me shopping for the things i need... I love my family, I just hope that this year is the beginning of a fantastic decade. I want everyone reading this to be safe and I hope your new year is everything you expect it will be and more

:hugs:

Claresa and Darin
