Happenings

I've had a pretty boring week.  Work-Got someone out of jail.  School-Gave a couple of lectures on Federalism, one on the Executive Branch & gave a couple of exams.  Exciting stuff, I tell you.  Our firm got randomly audited by the Texas Workforce Commission.  No many how many times they tell you it's only a random audit, you still panic a lot little. 

The real highlight of my week is today's hair appointment.  I needed it.  BAD.  My hair was just plain awful people.  As much as I love the end result, I hate the 3 hour appointment.  If only they could figure out how I could nap during the process...

I had decided that I wanted to change up my color a little.  I was a little bored.  I found this pic on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and pinned it...

So today, when my hair lady said, "What do you want?", instead of hemming and hawing, I busted out the pinterest app on my phone and showed her this photo.  Another reason to love pinterest!  Anyway, here was the result.
 
 I don't think it's exactly Kate Hudson color, but I do love that she warmed it up.  For some reason, she didn't want to put low-lights in as dark as Kate's.  She kept saying "But your natural color IS dark blonde".  I think that translates to, But then you won't have to come as often and pay me as much. 

The only other thing worth noting this week is the fricking Missoni debacle at Target.  I was at Target at 8:15 and found nada.  I went to another one and found these shoes...

I actually located 2 size 10's.  One the heel was put on askew and had glue coming out.  The other had a flaw on the suede right on the top.  The stupid things were still $40 and appear to be crapola, so I skipped them.  Did any of y'all have luck with the Missoni for Tar-jay?

Oh, wow. Your hair looks GORGEOUS. I think I usually see it when you've had it curly, but the color and styling are fantastic in those pictures! Nice work, lady!

I didn't even try for the Missoni stuff. It's cute, but it looks really 70s, and I can never really pull off those colors and prints. Oh well. Sorry to hear that those shoes didn't work out - if I'd buy anything, I'd buy those!

i wasn't too interested in the missoni stuff, either. which i guess is fortunate, because i haven't heard of anyone having any luck getting any of it--except those crazy ebay people!!

Love your hair. You need to borrow emery and Brooks for a week and then you will love the three hour hair appointment for the quiet!

I'm sad your target experience was bad-I live vicariously through you during these events!

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...
