Weekend wrap-up

I've had a fairly uneventful weekend thus far, but that's nothing new for me.  Maybe it is teaching 4 classes at night in addition to the legal work, but I feel like dropping by Friday afternoon and am fairly unmotivated to do anything "exciting" on the weekend.

I worked really hard at cleaning out my DVR build-up from the week though.  All I can say is...LOVING HDTV!  Loving it!

I also read a book.  I'm trying to make myself read all of the "real" books I have but haven't read yet before buying any more books on my Nook.  Back when I made my mom get rid of the 379 Danielle Steel books that she owned, I kept 5 of them that were of interest to me.  Last week I read...


This week I read...

They were both okay.  It's not like reading a Danielle Steel book is going to change your life or anything, but they were good enough for an enjoyable easy read. 

I also fixed my front door.  It had been sticking and would barely open.  I was sick of it and decided I was going to figure out how to fix the darn thing, so I did.

Now, I'm just waiting on the Oscar hoopla to start!  So excited!

Now for shopping related items:

Someone asked about the shoes I bought last week.  They were both Me Too brand.  I got them both at Famous Footwear at my outlet mall.  The black ones are called Lanai.  The pewter ones are called Ninny.

My shopping deal for the upcoming week that I've spotted is for those of you that are in the market for some new bedding.  This Tuesday, Tuesday Morning will be selling some Rose Tree sets for $119 and $129.  They purport to have a few patterns to choose from but the one they show is brown and cream and Beautiful!  They are a great deal too (a savings of more than $300)!

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
