Serious business to tend to

My law firm has some serious business to tend to today...a trip to Canton! A couple of weeks ago we discovered a miracle in our schedules with nothing scheduled for today. Jennifer and I usually go to Canton on Sunday, but have always wanted to go on a Friday and never had the chance. All was planned and we were psyched up to go, then Jennifer had a total brain breakdown and scheduled a hearing for this morning! After much ridicule and bitching (from me of course), we decided to still go after the hearing was completed.

The hearing didn't go as quickly as Jennifer anticipated, but was about on par with my expectations, so we got out of town about 10:45 or 11:00 this morning. One other small hiccup in the plans, Jennifer has possession of our co-owned Canton cart. In fairness to her, this was out of the norm as it usually lives in my garage. Well, of course, the cart got left at her house! You know at some point I was yelling, "Why are you sabotaging our trip to Canton?!". We decided to just purchase another cart once we got there because it would be 30-45 minutes out of the way to go by her house. It was great though! We got a new cart with movable front wheels (like a stroller has) that makes steering so much easier. We also sprung for a drink holder which is worth every darn penny!

We got lots of great finds and I will blog more tomorrow about them and will also blog about poor Lola's traumatic day (think fence guys showing up unexpectedly). I'm dirty, exhausted and want to watch one of my favorite hotties on Oprah on my DVR (Hugh Jackman), so I don't feel like blogging any longer. For now, I wanted to show you a few photos of funny things I ran across at Canton (bad phone camera photos, but you can get the point).

I saw this shirt and immediately thought of my friend Lisa! Nothing wrong with that though, it's actually a pretty good mantra!
In case you couldn't make out the saying on the t-shirt, it says "Never underestimate the value of a hissy fit..."
This was a note pad I found somewhere. I didn't purchase it, but thought it should be my new slogan (especially after I spent so much money today)!
And speaking of not being flat busted...
Where do you think they got this mannequin? If this is her day job, what do you think she does once the sun goes down?

Waiting to hear what you found! I didn't make it out today, but I think that was a good thing with the storms we are having. Planning on it next month when Andi is here.

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
