Tuesday that's Monday all day

Hope y'all enjoyed your Labor Day. I took the day at it's title and labored.  I spent 6 hours cleaning house.  It was a hazmat zone because I hadn't given it a good all at once cleaning all summer due to my finger ailment.  Now my house is so clean and straight that the only thing standing between me and true contented happiness is muddy puppy paw prints that keep reappearing on my kitchen floor!

I like long weekends, so I don't want to seem like I'm complaining, but I think I prefer long weekends that involve Friday off instead of Monday off.  Even though today is Tuesday, it's seemed like Monday all day long.

I had to go to Dallas this morning.  There was no parking in their parking garage left when I got there except on the very top.  Yep, the uncovered top.  The uncovered top in the pouring rain and gusting wind.  So I headed into the nasty courthouse looking like Shirley Temple (because my hair doesn't friz, but turns into ringlets in the tropical humidity). 

The only bright spot of that trip was that we were in Dallas so long, we got to stop at Red Hot and Blue for lunch on the way back to McKinney.  I love me some pulled pork sandwich with Carolina Sauce!  And don't get me started on their potato salad!

I've spent the rest of the afternoon doing this and that.  The "This" was a little work, a trip to Sam's for stamps (because I prefer it to the Post office AND I wanted to see if they had Christmas Trees in yet...they don't), and the Post Office box to drop some mail.  The "That" was building a chart and inserting all my tv shows that I currently watch and new shows that I'm wanting to try out and the dates that they premier.  Holy cow!  Many premiers are starting next week!  Yea!

I'm currently blogging while we are under a Tornado Warning.  The sirens are going off and Pete Delkus (our ABC weather guy) is on the air.  Dr. Oz is suppose to be making his North Texas ABC debut, but Pete apparently thinks he's more important than Dr. Oz.  I think it's an Oprah complex because Pete was out of town last year when Oprah stopped by to do the 5:30 news and he missed her.  Oh yeah, I'm blogging because Pete tells me that the danger is about 5 miles north of my house, so I'm not taking cover. 

Well anyway, I'm glad it's a short week even though it's seemed like Monday all day.  The good news is that it isn't Monday and tomorrow is already Wednesday!

The weather was crazy today! My parents live up in Prosper and they said it rained hard. Luckily in Plano it rained on and off. We were still under the Collin County tornando warning though!

We had a tornado warning here all day too. Of course never know if it's for real or not because we use the sirens for the volunteer fire department and not tornados. I may never understand!

Our flight got delayed, so we couldn't catch our connecting flight, so B and I will try again in the morning! GRRR.

You are a brave woman. I take cover if there is anything within 20 miles of me.

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
