Silence

Gosh, it's been radio silence over here for the past week. No real excuses. School started back, so that extra activity always kind of drains me.  I'm only teaching two classes this semester, but I go 4 nights a week.  The good part is that it's only for an hour and 15 minutes each night.  Two nights I'm home by 7, and the others by 8:30, so no leaving at 6:30 a.m. or getting home at 10:00 p.m. this semester.

Now, where did we leave off?  Oh yeah, the Golden Globes.  I loved most the fashion on the Red Carpet.  My favorite was probably Charlize...

The runner-ups in my book were Resse and Sophia...


I was pretty happy about who the awards went to as well.  I mean, Downton Abbey took home an award.  As did George, Meryl and Homeland.  I also thought the Descendants was probably worthy of Best Picture, but I haven't seen all the others yet. 

I've bought some make-up over the past week.  Not a big shopping trip, but just replacing some things I was out of.  I was pretty much out of foundation.  Most brands that I keep in rotation require me to drive somewhere to buy them.  I was lazy and didn't want to drive, so I headed to Dillards to give M.A.C. a try.  I haven't worn M.A.C. since I lived in Lubbock in the late 90's.  I tried this new one that they have called Matchmaster.  It's one of those that is suppose to have some technology so that it matches your skin.  It's also fairly cheap (at least relative to what I usually wear), so I'm loving that aspect too.

I also bought a lip product that I discovered via Pinterest.  Dior Addict Lip Glow is available at Sephora.  It's really more of a chapstick like product, but it's "thing" is that it adds color to your lips, but it is different for every person because it works with your own color chemistry to create your own unique color.  I'm LOVING it! 



I've also caught up a little on my award season movies. Today I watched both "Moneyball" and "Ides of March".  I really liked both movies.  I also just got to enjoy Episode 3 of "Downton Abbey".  I love several shows on tv, but I haven't loathed or loved characters this much on a show in a long, long time. 

Hopefully, I will post more this week, but we have a trial starting on Tuesday and two appeals due soon, so I'm not sure how it will go.  Have a good week everyone!

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
