A Year In Review

Here is a recap of my 2010!

January:  I got my new camera (and fancy strap, and fancy bag...)!
February:
We got a big snowstorm
Celebrated Lola's 5th Birthday
and met Abby & Brian in Austin for some outlet shopping and our friend, Chris Pepper's "Howdy Partner" party
March: Among all the events, I was on cloud 9 because I booked my annual May Mexico trip and loved that Liberty of London made it's way to Target so I could stock up on their swimsuits for my vacation...

Took a trip to Dallas Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum
and got a spring snow storm
April: So April was clearly my most fun month of the year!  Who knew April would be so fun?

Easter fun
Re-landscaping (okay, so more work than fun)

Seeing Bon Jovi with Suzanna

Traveling to El Campo and then Houston to visit Abby & go see Ryan Star at the House of Blues
May: So we all know by now, May didn't exactly go as planned!

I'll spare you the gory photos, but can't leave these out...
but there was a little fun...
June:  I feel like June was consumed by physical therapy...

stitches were finally removed
Lisa & I went to see one of my favorite authors, Emily Giffin, at B&N...
and I got a new Fairy Godmother

July:

July was when I discovered J Rae's cupcakes and the world would never again be the same...
I took Maddie & Gracie to see the Ramona Movie
I shopped the heck out of the Nordstrom Sale a couple of different times
We had a couple of celebrations for my Meme's 80th Birthday

August:

I killed my new Fairy Godmother
I began to be able to bend my hand again with much effort (and pain)
Ryan Star's new CD, that I'd been impatiently awaiting,  finally came out
and he started a tour which I drug Lisa to

September:

I went to Fort Worth and finally ate at Ellerbe (try it if you haven't)

But the real highlight was going to NOLA with Abby

 October:  Besides being my Birthday month, October was filled with activities...

The State Fair of Texas
Another Ryan Star Concert
I persuaded Emily to go with me this time...
Went to College Station for the Tech/A&M Game
and celebrated Halloween

November: This month was made up of lots of decorating...first for Thanksgiving....
Then after celebrating Thanksgiving, it was time to decorate for Christmas.

December:

Visiting with cousins in from Alaska

A gingerbread house building party with Lisa & Jennifer
Seeing ICE at the Gaylord Texan with Abby & her family

and of course, finally celebrating Christmas

2010!  What a Year!

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
