Weekend Happenings

Most of the "Fun" things on my list of things to do this weekend didn't happen. It rained and rained, thus my plans to go to the fair were rained out. I also didn't make it to the movie to see "Bright Star".

I did manage to watch a lot of the stuff in my DVR. I decorated for Halloween (photos to follow in the next couple of days as my battery died when I turned my camera on to take photos).

I also sold my bedroom furniture today. The guy was a little weird on the phone and called and called and called to tell me how his day at work was progressing and when he thought he would make it over to look at it (dude, you don't need to touch base every couple of hours!). He got here and didn't seem odd. He is a physical therapist and went to Tech. This of course immediately made me fell better....like you can't be a new version of the Craig's List Killer if you are also a Red Raider. Don't you love my logic! Anyway, he paid me today and will probably be coming back next weekend to pick it all up.

I have decided to try and go get those "to die for" bedside tables at Tuesday Morning this week. Now, I just need to order my headboard!

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...
