Weekend Accomplishments

It's so rare that I actually accomplish anything on the weekends, so since I think that I actually accomplished everything on my very long list, I had to write about it!

Friday I "took the day off" which resulted in me talking on the phone to 2 courts, talking to the DA's office twice, and going to a non-emergency "emergency" meeting that "couldn't wait until Monday". So much for time off! This is the norm for my days off. I even ended up talking to a court while taking a tour of Savannah back in the fall! Now you know why I like to escape to a location out of the country once a year so that I'm not reachable by phone. Anyway, my accomplishments on Friday were:

1) Took Lola to groomer
2) Caught the attention of my neighbors lawn guys and got them over to my house to clean up all the leaves and mess that was my yard

Saturday was really a busy day. I did three loads of laundry (towels and sheets) and then I straightened and cleaned my filthy mess of a house. I straightened and cleaned for 6 hours! I also went to the grocery store.

Sunday, I finished doing laundry (4 loads of clothes).

I also was able to catch up on the DVR'd shows that had been collecting all week.

I feel pretty proud of myself because I got everything done that I hoped to. YEA for not being a slacker!

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...
