Awake!!

I can't believe the day passed me by so fast. It felt like it was over in minutes. I accomplished a lot so I guess that's why it went by so fast! Yet, I still didn't get into the study to get the tree down. I guess now I will just wait till the weekend. I might get to it tomorrow but I have my doubts. I have to run to the market tomorrow and get a few more errands done being its husby's late night.

I am actually kinda grumpy tonight. I think I am just tired. Husby even got on my nerves less than an hour ago. I just let it roll off my back until tomorrow.. when I can talk to him more about it. Nothing big though! I think its pretty typical for a husband to piss off his wife from time to time. I love him more than anything but some nights I could ring his neck! Thankfully he's now in bed so I don't have to do that!

Well Dog the Bounty hunter was great as always. That family sure knows what they are doing. I sure wouldn't want them on the hunt for me.. that's for sure! Another show I didn't say anything about was Oprah's next chapter that aired last Sunday. I loved it. I have been missing Oprah for a while now and this new series of hers sure helps! Steven Tyler gave an excellent interview and lives in a little cottage.. Who knew that? It sure doesn't look like the home of a rock star but I think the house has been in his family for like 30 years. That's a looong time! Anyway.. lots of new shows starting up with the New Year. I am kinda disappointed that the View is airing reruns but I am guessing that next week they will be back to normal too. We like tv around here. I can always find things that do instead of watching tv but sometimes the breaks are nice!

I did manage to get all that chipped polish off my nails.. At least I got the first step done! Its always hard for me to get my nails done because I never sit still long enough to let them dry! Thank goodness for quick drying polishes otherwise I would be in trouble. Maybe 3 or 4 months ago, I started doing my own nails for the first time in years. I am far from good at it but little by little I am getting better. I do miss the look with the acrylics but I have had them on for so long that now my nails are in really bad shape. Super thin and and they peel too. There has been a few times I almost went back and had them put back on but I really want to get it where I do all my own stuff. I don't want to have to depend on someone else for beauty related things. Last night I even trimmed my own hair. And believe it or not, I am much better at cutting my own hair than I am doing my own nails! I am working on some more beauty post. I know with the holidays going on, its been kinda hit or miss with beauty post. So back on working on more reviews, hauls and finds.. stay tuned!

I got a bunch of emails today. Most of you were commenting on the Jaggers Family Winter Beef Stew Recipe. A lot of you guys asked what the difference is between a winter stew and a summer stew. Well, that was a good question and the best way I can describe the difference is that the summer stew recipes I use are much lighter and fresher than the winter stews. But yes there are summer stews! I even have a recipe for a good watermelon stew. I know that doesn't so sound appealing but it reminds me more of a hearty fruit salad but super good in the hot days of summer! I have actually been thinking about starting a new blog up and go through the recipes one by one in the White House cook book I got over Christmas. I just don't know how many recipes a week I want to do. I mean I have cooked a zillion of the Julia Child recipes ( kinda like the movie , but not with the same dedication ) but I just thought it would be fun to do! And something fresh to start the new year with. Once I figure it all out, I will give you more details. The recipes in that book look amazing!

Anyway.. I plan on getting back to normal around here. The weekend notes have really suffered and I am already working on this upcoming weeks post. I have also had a lot of emails about when they series is coming back. I think I took 3 weeks off.. not too long but just because my time was limited with the holidays. Things are calming down now and I am able to devote more time here now. I know I post a lot most days. Some of the post take longer than others but most of the time, if I focus, I can do it fast. I normally clean for a while.. break and blog for a while.. cook for a while.. break and blog for a while.. and so on. I have loved blogging about our lives for the last couple of years. I have met a lot of people through this blog and I find it so interesting how people just keep coming back! You guys are awesome! I wish I could know each of you better. That's why I am always asking for emails. I want to hear about you. While this blog is mostly me.. I love to hear the story's of your lives too. Keep the emails rolling in.. kishajaggers@aol.com.  I didn't get to answer any today. I really need to start getting up a little earlier and just making time to sit down and focus only on emails. I really do answer back.. sometimes its delayed but I don't ever just not reply. I read them all as they come in though on my phone so I do read everything you send.  Also thank you for the really sweet words about the layout. Yep.. I have changed things a lot. When I got that script error I thought it was in my template code but it wasn't.. Thankfully its fixed now and we don't have to worry about it anymore. But I am sure happy you guys like the blog. I know its still winter.. but when Christmas is over, spring comes to mind. I doubt I will change it until February. Who knows.. I might not change it! I like this one a lot too!

Well, I have been pretty chatty tonight. I need to try to get to sleep so I can get everything I want to do, done tomorrow. Don't forget.. tomorrow/today comes our MARRIED LIFE day!! So I will have that post up in the evening some time.

Hope you have a beautiful day!

xoxo
