End of Week Wrap Up

This has been a fairly busy week so I haven't had as much of a chance to blog about every boring detail of my life. The week was busy for several reasons. First, it is the last week of classes at the college...YEA! This means lots of wrap up stuff that needed to be done.

Also this week, I was busy with lawyering. We picked up several new clients this week which is great. Here are some photos of what else I've been up to this week:

This is what I do at 10:00 on a Thursday night while watching DVR'd "Grey's Anatomy" and bleaching my teeth...
I pot some plants...
in the kitchen. Probably not the best idea to pot plants inside the house, but I can't see the tv when I'm in the garage or outside!
That's what dustbusters are for!
Today I worked toward finishing the backyard decorating.
I purchased a big rug for the patio and a candle for the table between the chaise lounges (kind of hard to see in this photo). Also, sadly, you can see that I need a new fence on that side of the yard too... UGLY!
I still have to paint two more pots black so that they all match, and to re-pot a giant plumaria and a small hibiscus.
I also started painting my back door black a few weeks ago, but between rain, heat and the high humidity, I haven't been able to put the final (& third!) coat of paint on it, so that is why you still see blue tape around the window and door knobs.

I paid the lawn crew who does my neighbor's lawn to do mine today, so that chore is already checked off my "to do" list for the weekend!

Tuesday Morning is where the planter came from. They had three sizes, this was the smallest.

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...
