Adios

Hopefully, this is where I'll be this time tomorrow!
I just had Lou Dobbs on (accidentally, I don't like Lou) and heard him yammering on about the U.S. State Department's travel advisory against going to Mexico. Oh well, I just changed the channel and will try real hard to forget that I ever heard that!

I've been working real hard to get everything done. I finished my first summer syllabus last night and e-mailed it to my department chair (it's not due until the June 4th, so be real impressed that I didn't wait on that!). I just finished mowing and have been working on all the other details.

Got my "Mexico Money"!
My carry-on is mostly packed. It will contain the things I couldn't bare to get ripped off or things to get by if the unthinkable happened... It will have my make-up, clarisonic (decided I couldn't go that long without it), a pair of underwear, pj's, swimsuit, cover-up, and a hat...
This is where you should be really impressed... First of all, have you ever seen a suitcase this cute before? I got it for Christmas and LOVE it! I was able to get all my clothes and other toiletries, etc. in it! I am such an overpacker that I hope I won't be missing anything, but I really tried to restrain myself to get it all into one bag!
Adios Amigos!

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...
