Pinch me, I have to be dreaming...

Pinch me, I have to be dreaming... is my beloved Gilmore Girls really being revived on Netflix for 4- 90 minute "movies"? I can hardly think of anything that would have made me happier this week {well short of winning the lotto, world peace, etc.}!

They really got our hopes up earlier this year when Scott Patterson was on a podcast called Gilmore Guys, and hinted that everyone was on board with shooting new episodes. Then when the cast reunited at ATX festival down in Austin this summer, they also hinted at this, though Amy Sherman-Palladino said "nothing was in the works, but the good news is everyone gets along so it was possible" (kinda paraphrasing her here).

When Variety hit with the news on Monday, I was skeptical, but then the non-confirmation-confirmations started rolling in, and I was on cloud 9.

and even our former Secretary of State weighed in...

So here is what I feel like I HAVE to see in the new episodes:

(1) Luke & Lorelai. Together. Forever. The End.

(2) Rory as a successful journalist.

(3) The guys: Rory doesn't necessarily have to be involved romantically with any of them, but come on, we need to now what's happening with Jess & Logan (okay, fine, Dean too, even though I never liked him for Rory, or really even liked him period).

Sure I want to see what's happening with all the other character of Star's Hollow, but that's my list of demands. Amy Sherman-Palladino, take note!

Now, if news breaks that Netflix is reviving The West Wing with Aaron Sorkin writing it, don't tell me until next week. I CANNOT handle that much excitement in my life!

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 1ingredients... 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 because I use my yogurt cup as a meas…

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...

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 "A&quo…

Pumpkins, Gourds & Flowers, oh my!

Yesterday, I went to the Dallas Arboretum. Lisa, Jennifer, and I went as my birthday outing. We got a late start due to some court delays, so we stopped for lunch first. I needed some make-up too, so we went to Neimans. We ogled some purses, had lunch, I got some make-up and then we headed out to the arboretum (in the rain).

It was raining pretty good on the way over, but luckily, we only needed umbrellas for a few minutes. Thankfully the sun never came out, because it was so humid, I'm pretty sure we would have melted.

First, we made our way toward the Pumpkin Village...

I love how they made garland out of the mini-pumpkins...

These rose bushes were just stunning! The roses on each bush varied in color from a coral, to a blush, to a purple hue...
It was Fall at the arboretum, and pumpkins, gourds, and mums are a large part of the visit. However, they also have a Chihuly art exhibition going on. I took so many pictures, I HAVE to make that it's whole separate post. …
