I need a weekend from my weekend

Yes, I seem to feel the need for a weekend from my weekend!  It started out fine on Friday.  I was running some errands and planned to finally hit up the grocery store.  Then I came home between errands and noticed that there was some sort of leak in my attic and my ceiling was wet.  Total suck-o. 

I went into the attic.  Couldn't really see what was the problem, though I suspected my air conditioner.  Later that evening, Jennifer, her husband Kyle, and little Joshua came over to inspect my problem.  Joshua (age 3 1/2) immediately proclaimed, "Kara, you have a BIG PROBLEM!".  Nothing like a child to state the obvious!  Turns out it was the A/C related.  Long story short, there was a clogged pipe for the condensation drainage, problem fixed, except now I have to paint my ceiling.  Lord help me.  I pray I can just paint the one discolored portion.  The leak was in the living room, which is connected to my entry and my kitchen, so it would be a horrible and huge paint job to do the whole ceiling.

I have finally managed to make it to the grocery store, or really 3 stores because I can never buy everything at one place.  I have cleaned my house.  I cleaned out my closet some and made a huge pile of clothes and shoes for Goodwill.  I have gone to the nursery, and planted a few plants that I bought.  I have done 5 loads of laundry and have yet to get started washing actual clothes, though I do now have clean towels and sheets. 

Another suck-o part of the weekend being over with zero relaxation time, is that summer school starts tomorrow night.  It will be 4 nights a week for 5 weeks.  Oh, except for the last two weeks... they are making us go on Friday, July 1st to make-up for giving us Monday, July 4th off.  DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED on that!!!!  I've also been trying to get some Power Point presentations done for my lectures because apparently people are too stupid to follow lectures anymore.  My official evaluation by the department is always good, but I always get the "you should use power point...How do they know what to take notes on" in my evaluation.  Fine.  I give.  I don't know how I made it through a bachelor's degree, a master's degree and law school and recall nary a professor one use anything similar to power point. 

Well, I guess I had better go.  I need to go eat lunch, do more laundry, catch up on some shows, and work on another Power Point.  Hope y'all have had a good weekend filled with more relaxation that I have had.  Unless you were as behind on chores as I was, in which case, I hope you got a lot done!

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
