Spunk-o-meter

I would say that Lola is about 95% on the spunk-o-meter, that being up from about 90% yesterday. Yesterday, she pulled a couple of toys out of the toy box and played for a bit. She also was very interested in her favorite night pass time of ratting outside (looking for rats along the back and side fence).

Today, she has chased three squirrels out of the yard, played with her toys some more, and got paper out of the trashcan while I was away and shredded it like a canine paper shredding machine!

She has been eating pretty well, so I went and bought a new kind of food that she is eating (because of course she doesn't like the $25 bag of food I purchased last week from the vet, but now prefers the kind she was getting at the hospital during this last 5 day visit!). The vet says that the more she eats the quicker she should heal up, so I think that is a good sign too.

We are still dragging to get back on schedule after being out of town for so long unexpectedly. It would be a little easier if I hadn't been down in my back for about 4 weeks now, but I've found a new over-the-counter drug that is helping a bit, so maybe I will be able to make more progress this weekend. Last night I caught up on laundry and I have now taken down the outside Christmas decorations and put them up. I also have taken down all of the random Christmas decorations throughout the house and have them placed back in their storage containers. I still haven't taken down the three trees or ornaments on them, but I figure I will get there when I get there. At least people who drive by don't know how behind I am and most other people don't know (well of course unless they read my blog!).

I'm anxious to change the background on my blog, but where I get my backgrounds is under construction, so changes will come hopefully soon!

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
