Additional Progress Report

Here are some additional photos from my spray paint palooza this weekend!

Chaise Lounge Chairs were repainted and also the side table. See... Lola is still white so I didn't paint EVERYTHING! Also, you can see the new cushions I purchased last month at Garden Ridge.
I also had to repaint my little bistro table. These cushions are kind of new. I could never find this size anywhere, so I purchased some outdoor fabric and my grandmother recovered them for me. I think they turned out very nice.


Now, I realized today that one of the upsides to being an adult is that when you have a self imposed grounding, you can also end the grounding early for a special circumstance! I was at Garden Ridge today and was wondering around looking at everything because this one in particular has become quite the ghetto flea market. Anyway, I happened upon tables and tables of books for $2.99 and $3.99. That's cheaper than Half Price Books! I actually stumbled upon one that was on my "To Buy Once Ungrounded" list, but found a couple (okay, several) others that I couldn't resist!

I got all of these for $26!!!!

I thought it had been a pretty good day for a Monday, but then I got an awful e-mail. I was appointed by the County to represent an indigent inmate. Fine, no biggie, I do that all the time, right? Well this one is charged with Animal Cruelty (Non-livestock)! Now being a person who things animal cruelty equates to putting a dog in a not-so-cute collar, can you imagine my horror? I won't take these cases for any amount of money, but now I'm stuck with this one and will get paid peanuts from the County. You people seriously need to pray for me to get through this one... UGHH!!!!

I love the black and white cushions! I have been grounding myself from Garden Ridge...after seeing how cute those cushions are I think I need to continue to stay away from there.

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
