Texas is crazy and other matters

I've been fuming about this for months, but today the idiots on our State Education Board officially decided to re-write history. Not only does it make the whole country look at us like we are a bunch of uneducated, racist, haters, but we are going to erroneously educate our children for years to come.

Rand Paul? Seriously, people. You can not like taxes. Not like what your tax dollars are spent on. But take a step back before electing these wing-nuts!

Why in the holy heck are we still allowing BP to try and fix this oil spill situation? They've had a month! They don't know what they are doing! Time for the government to step in, take over, and send BP a big fat bill! Too much damage has been done already. Save the Bayous!

Yesterday my cousins and their Mom came to visit me. We were talking and I discovered that the girls have blogs (well kind of... one has only blogged twice in a month and a half and the other one needs to make her's visible). Anyway, I was showing them sites like shabby blogs, etc., and how to put cute backgrounds and buttons on their blogs. In the middle of their tutorial, Maddie (age almost 9 yrs.) busts out with "Is this legal?". Totally cracked me up!

Typing one handed sucks. Antibiotics suck. But I think that today, for the first time, my hand is hurting less. I can move my pinkie a bit inside of my cast and it isn't an excruciating pain like it was before.

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
