Goodbye Paradise

So my trip is off. I heard from the doctor's office today and it seems that even though I paid extra for insurance with a $2000 out-patient deductible, that doesn't apply to outpatient surgery. So my deductible is $4000 which means that is how much I will be out of pocket before the piece of crap insurance company pays a dime.

I had trip insurance and it was the type of insurance that will (eventually) refund your money. So, the refund is needed to help pay the $4000+ in cost.

I guess at this point, I'm going to see if I can move up my surgery to next week (if I can get someone from the doctor's office to call me back).

I just am so sad about everything right now, I don't even know what to do. I would cry, but I just think that would make my make-up run and I don't know how in the world that would make me feel any better.

Update: Tuesday, 5/18. That's when my surgery is scheduled.

So Sad! So super duper duper SAD!! My heart is aching for you. I am so sorry about your cruddy insurance, any way that surgery becomes inpatient?

I'm up for a trip to Courtney's Mexico Retreat! You all are welcome to come hear and visit me, no pool, no ocean, but hotter and more humid than heck!!

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
