Random is the name of the game

Today, Random is the name of the game...

(1) I've been in CLE (Continuing Legal Education) all darn day.  It's usually pretty boring, but I would say that only about 2 hours of the 6 hours were boring beyond belief.  From 8:30 to noon, I learned about childhood psychological disorders.  It was entertaining (if you can believe that), but if you had been there it would make you never want to procreate (or procreate again if you've already do that). 

(2) I WD-40'd all of the doors in my house this past weekend.  It's kind of changed my life.  The back door especially.  It had squeaked and been slowly driving me insane until this weekend when it hit me, "Why don't you put some WD-40 on it?".  Duh!  The silence is wonderful, but my bedroom door and my closet door now close spontaneously.  This has caused me to almost run into the closet door on more than one occasion.  It has also proved to be a puppy trap in my bedroom (Milly once, Lola three times).

(3) There is a mosquito in my house that is now the source of my insanity, and possible future diagnosis of  West Nile.  The darn thing keeps biting my feet.  Itchy feet are the worst!

(4) I'm packing tonight and trying to get things ready for the dog/house sitter and substitute professor for Monday's class.  Lola's looking concerned that the luggage is out.  I'm so ready to get away, especially since my Mexico trip in May got cancelled at the last minute.  Sadly NOLA is going to be pretty warm this weekend, but it will still be wonderful.

(5) This weekend is a big football game, so I've totally scoped out all the places where I should be able to watch the Tech game in NOLA. 

I probably won't be blogging again until Tuesday, but will likely be Tweeting on my trip, so if you are on Twitter, follow me to join in on the NOLA fun (Twitter Link on the sidebar).  Have a great weekend!

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...
