Hallelujah Jalapeno Popcorn


Colt struck it rich again today! He is just one of those people who stumbles right into fortune. Colt stopped at a local Loaf’N'Jug here in Cheyenne, he was hankering for our favorite snack. We have recently became enamored with a certain brand of popcorn. I originally found this popcorn on a long road trip to Montrose, Colorado. I stopped at a gas station and thought I would try out a new snack. I wasn’t a mile down the road before I called Colt and raved about the new jalapeno popcorn I had discovered. As I frantically said “new jalapeno popcorn” Colt explained he had also tried the very same popcorn that very same day. He was in Greeley Colorado on business with a friend. As he munched down on the new popcorn he was thinking in his head, “I have to call Holly she would love this popcorn!” Then his phone rang, we call this mental mail. What is mental mail? Well that is another blog post, maybe I can convince Colt to write a guest post for me tomorrow.

So as I mentioned before my husband is a hustler. What you didn’t read that post? Well you really should, it is one of my favorite posts on this blog. You want the link? Okay it is right here:

Did you like it? Oh well, I still do! So as I said before my husband has a gift, he has divine intuition. Today was a prime example of his gift. Colt stopped at a local Loaf’N'Jug here in Cheyenne, he was hankering for our favorite snack. He circled the Loaf’N'Jug 3 or 4 times looking for the coveted popcorn. Finally he asked the clerk if she knew if they had this popcorn. They she uttered the sweetest words Colt has ever heard. There was a whole entire bin of our favorite popcorn on CLEARANCE! She explained the popcorn wasn’t selling well. WHAT!?! Well Colt proceed to buy every bag left in the store. Then she also mentioned all the loaf and jugs would have the same sale as well. So Colt’s day tomorrow involves hitting every Loaf’N'Jug in town. Now my only concern is that I hope it is selling well everywhere else. If Rocky Mountain Popcorn Company goes out of business I am afraid my Hustler Husband will own a popcorn factory!

How is your Monday Starting?

Every morning I make myself a yummy, delicious, healthy smoothie. This morning it didn’t quite go as I had planned…

I had another accident in the kitchen…

Then I did something that will make 70% of the good people reading this blog to scream at their computer, “oh no she didn’t!” It will make 10% of the fine folks reading this blog make a mental note to never eat at my house again. Then 15% of the respectable readers will stop visiting this blog for unsanitary conditions and 5% of ya’ll will just laugh out loud.

What a way to start a Monday Morning. But do you laugh or do you cry? I choose to laugh and then change my clothes! Don’t worry after The Peach finished I got out the bleach.I love to start my week by pulling out my stove, bleaching my entire kitchen and of course making sure The Peach gets a protein smoothie.

A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. Prov. 17:22

The cutest apron in the West!

My husband is home from Arizona. So that means I have to pull out the big guns and remind him why he married me… I sure look good in an apron. We went out for supper last night and tonight he made some awesome tacos. But isn’t this the coolest apron ever? I always put it on when I pour myself a glass of tea or stir something Colt has on the stove. He banned me from cooking we both decided my fingers are just too precious!

My best friend Kelli’s mom sent me an apron that she made from hand. It has really cute cowboy print fabric and I love that is has a ruffle around the bottom. Thanks Patti, I sure am glad I can at least look the part!
