Weekend wrap-up

I've had a fairly uneventful weekend thus far, but that's nothing new for me.  Maybe it is teaching 4 classes at night in addition to the legal work, but I feel like dropping by Friday afternoon and am fairly unmotivated to do anything "exciting" on the weekend.

I worked really hard at cleaning out my DVR build-up from the week though.  All I can say is...LOVING HDTV!  Loving it!

I also read a book.  I'm trying to make myself read all of the "real" books I have but haven't read yet before buying any more books on my Nook.  Back when I made my mom get rid of the 379 Danielle Steel books that she owned, I kept 5 of them that were of interest to me.  Last week I read...


This week I read...

They were both okay.  It's not like reading a Danielle Steel book is going to change your life or anything, but they were good enough for an enjoyable easy read. 

I also fixed my front door.  It had been sticking and would barely open.  I was sick of it and decided I was going to figure out how to fix the darn thing, so I did.

Now, I'm just waiting on the Oscar hoopla to start!  So excited!

Now for shopping related items:

Someone asked about the shoes I bought last week.  They were both Me Too brand.  I got them both at Famous Footwear at my outlet mall.  The black ones are called Lanai.  The pewter ones are called Ninny.

My shopping deal for the upcoming week that I've spotted is for those of you that are in the market for some new bedding.  This Tuesday, Tuesday Morning will be selling some Rose Tree sets for $119 and $129.  They purport to have a few patterns to choose from but the one they show is brown and cream and Beautiful!  They are a great deal too (a savings of more than $300)!

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
