Electricity

Well my black cloud that seems to follow me and cause everything to break has struck again. This week it is the electrical wiring in my house. For some reason several of the plugs in my office work, then don't work, then work again, etc. I had the electrician come out today and apparently if one of the wires in one plug gets loose, then it can cause several to stop working. Who knew? The plug that was loose is one that is behind a bookcase and has never been used the whole three years that I've lived here. So my question is, how did it get loose and if it has been loose for three years, why is it NOW causing a problem. Weird.

Jennifer was at my house dealing with the electrician because I had one of my scheduled 16 weeks in advance hair appointments today. If you know anything about my continuing hair dresser saga, then you know that usually I'm too embarrassed to leave the salon and go anywhere but home to re-wash and re-dry my hair. Most of the time though, I can at least put it in a pony tail and be seen in public. Of course, that is what I was banking on today since I have to leave at 5:00 to go to class. Of course, today is the worst day ever. It was so bad, I even commented about how bad it looked. So I had race home and do the wash, dry, and style so that I can go to class without a hat on my head tonight!

On a better note, the weather is so wonderfully FALL! It isn't even 70 degrees outside. I LOVE IT!

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
