Countdown!

Yea! The Countdown is ON! I have two more classes to teach for each of my two classes. Does that make sense? Said another way, I have 6 more classes total to teach and 2 of those will be final exams, so I only have to actually teach 4 more classes. Still confused? Welcome to my day!

Have you seen those forwarded e-mails regarding "Fail". You know, signs people tried to make, but wrote incorrectly, so it gets a "Fail", etc. Well today was a total "Fail" for the law firm of F&C. We managed to pick up a new client despite forgetting to bring contracts for services to the meeting (being quick on your feet at coming up with lies helps! "Ooops, Our printer just stopped working, let me e-mail you a contract!").

Then we went to Sam's to buy stamps. Yes, we buy our stamps at Sam's out of pure hatred for the local post office (because we only have one and way too many people using it). Then we managed to drop 4 books of stamps in the mail with letters we were mailing. (We're guessing this is what happened because they are missing and nowhere to be found in the car).

To top that off, I gave all my students a heart attack because I graded papers today and returned them. Problem was, I forgot when I was grading that the assignment was worth 150 points and I graded them as if they were only 100 points.

Today I get a big old FAIL stamped across my forehead.

Really the only good thing I can think of all day was Former Pres BC getting journalists freed from the "crazy as a shit house rat" dictator, Kim Jong Il! I've been following this closely since their capture (and I do believe that they were probably captured from China not wondered over into N. Korea) and I'm really excited they are in the air on their way home right now.

Great news about the hostages. I bet Lisa Ling is so happy tonight!

Hilarious about FAIL.

If you are talking about the Mckinney PO- They are morons!!! My dad and I always talk about this. They are in NO hurry at all to get to anyone and the line is ALWAYS long!!! Hate it! I always go to one of those little ups places.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Sorry it was a hard day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

I love Bill Clinton. I too am glad the journalists are back!

Thanks for inquiring about my alleged swine flu. Fortunately, I'm all better!

I seem to have FAIL days often. I have got to figure out how to make them stop. If you think of a way let me know.

Hi Kara!
What’s left to say after those great comments? Your wonderful post certainly fell on fertile ground. Fail days seem, unfortunately, international
phenomena! Great news though about the hostages!

I'm glad you found my blog at the July in Xmas blog party and I'm so glad too I've now found yours!

Will be back again soon to check up on further lovely posts!

btw just posted my latest Lola Lifeline Column - hope you’ll have time to pop over & join the fun...! :)

XXLOL LOLA:)
PS Love puppies too. Was wondering what breed the one in yr profile pic is?
Very awesome news about the reporters heading back.

You have your hands full! I have to admit, that I had to re-read the part of your post (a couple of times) that you explain your countdown...2 of 2 aka 6 total +2=4
haha... the math was too much for me at this time of day... oh wait, I can't use that excuse cuz it's already lunch time!

I love that you still have your sense of humor in the midst of your "fail" experiences!

Remember this saying? "Keep on Smiling!"

Hope you are having a better day :o)

...please leave a comment, if you're ever in my neck of the woods.

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
