Silence

Gosh, it's been radio silence over here for the past week. No real excuses. School started back, so that extra activity always kind of drains me.  I'm only teaching two classes this semester, but I go 4 nights a week.  The good part is that it's only for an hour and 15 minutes each night.  Two nights I'm home by 7, and the others by 8:30, so no leaving at 6:30 a.m. or getting home at 10:00 p.m. this semester.

Now, where did we leave off?  Oh yeah, the Golden Globes.  I loved most the fashion on the Red Carpet.  My favorite was probably Charlize...

The runner-ups in my book were Resse and Sophia...


I was pretty happy about who the awards went to as well.  I mean, Downton Abbey took home an award.  As did George, Meryl and Homeland.  I also thought the Descendants was probably worthy of Best Picture, but I haven't seen all the others yet. 

I've bought some make-up over the past week.  Not a big shopping trip, but just replacing some things I was out of.  I was pretty much out of foundation.  Most brands that I keep in rotation require me to drive somewhere to buy them.  I was lazy and didn't want to drive, so I headed to Dillards to give M.A.C. a try.  I haven't worn M.A.C. since I lived in Lubbock in the late 90's.  I tried this new one that they have called Matchmaster.  It's one of those that is suppose to have some technology so that it matches your skin.  It's also fairly cheap (at least relative to what I usually wear), so I'm loving that aspect too.

I also bought a lip product that I discovered via Pinterest.  Dior Addict Lip Glow is available at Sephora.  It's really more of a chapstick like product, but it's "thing" is that it adds color to your lips, but it is different for every person because it works with your own color chemistry to create your own unique color.  I'm LOVING it! 



I've also caught up a little on my award season movies. Today I watched both "Moneyball" and "Ides of March".  I really liked both movies.  I also just got to enjoy Episode 3 of "Downton Abbey".  I love several shows on tv, but I haven't loathed or loved characters this much on a show in a long, long time. 

Hopefully, I will post more this week, but we have a trial starting on Tuesday and two appeals due soon, so I'm not sure how it will go.  Have a good week everyone!

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
