3 Day Weekend

I am sure glad it is a three day weekend. I'm such a big fan of three day weekends. I love it if I can get away...last year I was in one of my favorite cities, New Orleans. This year, I've kept it pretty low key.

We've been pretty lazy...
lola sleeping
Watched a lot of these gals (Seasons 4 & 5)...

I've done some cleaning out of the refrigerator
and pantry...
full pantry
Who knew I had a hazardous material zone in my kitchen?

Seriously...there was more in there that WOULD kill you than wouldn't!
Catalina dressing dated 2006, I'm talking about you!

I got crafty...
boxes
I never get crafty.  For some reason, I decided to do some Valentine's Day crafts and
painted these paper mache' heart boxes and L-O-V-E letters.

Stay tuned to see how I use them in decorating (not because it's going to be awesome, but because I have NO idea right now!)

I watched lots of CNN, but on Sunday took a break from the serious stuff and tuned in for one of my favorite things...an movie award show!

I love watching the Red Carpet too.

Here is my fashion review...

Some of these that I consider as "best" didn't photograph as well as they looked on tv (sadly)

And where there is good, there is bad...

I know this Drew Barrymore is going to be controversial because people seem to be lovin' it, but what the heck are those hard looking things on her hip and shoulder?

Now, I HAVE to get those darn syllabi done for my classes!  Maybe I'll watch a couple of DVDs that I have at the house too.  Oh if only we could strech this long weekend a little bit longer!  School starts this week and I'm sad to see my free time at night get a little bit smaller.  Thankfully no 7 a.m. class this semester, but I'm teaching 3 classes on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.  That means my DVR will be bulging at the seams by the weekends!

I cleaned out my freezer and pantry this weekend too! I had Catalina dressing from 2008...so you beat me!

I love the love letters. Where did you get them?

I agree with the Drew dress what was that on the side of her dress? I love Sandra Bullock..love love her. Didn't love her dress.

I completely agree about Chloe Sevigny's dress...what the heck was she wearing?!

And Julia Roberts didn't even seem as if she cared to be dressed up for the show.... looked sloppy.

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
