Playing 'catch-up'!

Hello friends!!  How has 2013 been treating you thus far?  So hard to believe that the last post I posted was 'last year'!  But the week-long (and a day) break I took was much needed and I feel so refreshed and felt like I got alot done!  Here is a little glimpse of what I've been up to this year!

• Getting well..I finally kicked that cold's 'rear' that I caught right around Christmas!  Herbal tea can go a long way, let me tell you!  That and alot of otc cold meds! 
• I got all my Christmas decor down in ONE DAY!  Go me!
• Been making new recipes from my Pioneer Woman cookbook..and loving every...single...one.  She's a rockstar, imo!  Be on the lookout for a post just on that later this week!
• We adopted a new cat (another post to look for!).
• I updated my blog background and design a bit!  While yes..I took a break from blogging..I did however read updates from all of y'all...and found a new and more 'cleaner' looking background design.  What do you think?  One of my resolutions for the new year is to comment more often.  I was bad to read a blog and that was pretty much it.  But..I got to thinking about how I look at the stats of my own blog and get kinda bummed when I see how many page views I get..but only a couple comments.  So I'm making it a priority, if I read it, I comment! (And maybe some of you Country Roads readers will do the same?  Pretty please!!)
• Taking pics of my sweet girl..

• Cleaning house! And I mean not just dusting/sweeping/mopping..I've cleaned windows, cleaned out some drawers, went through old clothes and got a goodwill bag all ready, installed my new printer I got for Christmas, and re-hung some pictures into a more eye pleasing arrangement!  I'm ready to get my house lookin good for the new year people!
• Lovin' glitter polish..I heart it.

• Fixing my tv (the cable cord fell out/came loose..simple fix).
• And probably a few other things I've left off this list....

Whew.
