Taking a Break for the Random

I'm taking a break for the DC posts today for a little bit of random stuff

We got up super early today and were out of the house before 6:30 because Lola's ears were driving her nuts.  So that means a 300 mile road trip.  Nuts I know, but obviously I will do anything for my little white pup.  Here she is waiting to see our vet...
I was very impressed with myself.  We were back home by 1:00 (and that involved a couple of stops)!  Unfortunately, poor Lola's darn ears are super infected.  Here are the types of infections present in her  ears:  Yeast, Strep, Staph, and Pseudomonas (which is the worst of all 4).  So glad I made the call to head to the vet!

I got home and was so tired from our speedy trip.  It kind of defeated the purpose me trying to get back to get things done.  I spend a while this afternoon watching Cory's first committee hearing on CSPAN, because I'm a total nerd like that.

This past weekend, my friends Abby & Brian ran the NYC Marathon!  I tracked them on a phone app all morning, and they did awesome.  Way to Go Abby & Brian!

Speaking of Abby & Brian, I got the cutest bday card from them.  They all thought it just screamed my name...

I saw this beyond hilarious tweet today.  I had to share.  Way to go Walmart!

That's All for Today Folks!

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...
