An Exciting Weekend {Read in sarcastic tone}

So last week the bronchitis came back with a vengeance.  I should have been well.  I had taken my z-pack, used the inhaler and consumed the nasty cough syrup.  But I wasn't better.  On Wednesday afternoon, I realized I was on the downhill slide again, so I called up the doctor and got another round of medicine.

For whatever reason, this new medicine made me feel bad (or else I had a touch of the stomach bug too, which is entirely possible as well).  Anyway, I had a pretty low key weekend.

My cousin Gracie was in a musical called "Into the Woods".  She had a big role...Cinderella, so I had to go see her.  I went on Friday night.  She was so great!  They said no pics, but I caught a couple at the end...
Dark + Action = Blurry!

This was the 2nd of their 5 shows this weekend!

Here she is after arriving back at home (complete with some Cinderella make-up smudges on her face)...

My other cousin Maddie went to see it too. She brought a friend.  Please explain to me how it is that parents don't drown girls between the ages of 10-18?  I cannot tell you how many times my uncle and I said, "Inside voices!", "Girls!  Calm down!".  Once we dropped her friend off, things got a bit calmer, and we went for ice cream...



Then my weekend got real exciting.  I slept, watched DVR'd television, napped, coughed, took medicine, patted Lola, and read.  What did I read?  Something light and fluffy to get me through my illness?



Yep,  i read about the hunt for, and killing of, Osama bin Laden.  In my defense, it's a great book!  It was hard to put down. 

Luckily, I'm on the road to recovery and I think I'm finally getting better.  After 3 weeks of bronchitis, Lord I hope I'm getting better!

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...
