Belly Boredum, Kirstie Alley and Fergie- don't hate!

I will start taking belly pictures soon, but at the moment..there is nothing exciting to take a picture of. I am rounding the corner on 12 weeks (my Birthday), so I should start showing soon enough.

I remember when I was pregnant with Cierra, I wanted to LOOK pregnant for the longest time. I was a waitress at Chili's and a couple of the server's would never let me carry my own trays. The customers always looked a little confused! (shrug) They made me look like a dominatrix, forcing them to carry my trays. SO. NOT. The. Case!

I started showing with her at about 5 months. The first time a guy at work said, "Wow! you finally LOOK pregnant"... I cried. ha ha

And.... on a totally UN-related topic.... EVERY time I see Kirstie Alley, I think Fergie could be related to her.
Sssso, maybe I just needed a reason to post this picture of Fergie's Lego dress! ha ha Love!

The BEST Banana Bread Recipe Around

So, I thought I'd share my banana bread recipe with you all. It was my Grandma's, mom's and now mine! (though I STILL think my mom's is better than mine...but things usually are when they are made FOR you)

Growing up, I never ate those store bought banana breads or muffins because they were SO nasty compared to my Mom and Grandma's banana bread! I remember as a little girl, hiding three bananas in the back of the pantry to ripen, so no-one would eat them..JUST so my mom would make banana bread! ha ha

That being said, here is the epic, heart attack, non-belly saving recipe! (Keep in mind, I grew up in Texas) lol.

The Only Banana Bread Recipe You'll Ever Need

3 ripe bananas, according to my mother...they can never be too ripe.
2c flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2c sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 c veg. oil or butter (I've been using Trader Joe's Irish sweet cream butter)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
If you like nuts in your bread, add 1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans!

I use a large loaf pan, pam and flour the sides of the pan, fill 3/4 full. Bake @350 for 45 to 50 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clear.

LA, San Diego, Ocean Beach Picturedom

Here are some overdue pictures from our trip. I was NOT feeling good, so it turns out I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I did! (shrug)

The MOSt A-MAZING clouds, I've ever seen! It reminded me of Care Bears. Don't hate!

Rod telling me, it's muddy.



It wasn't THAT muddy. :)



Me... flaunting my non-muddiness.




My boyfriend loves me, because he poses (I actually didn't think he'd do it)


So then, I had to take the same picture, only it wasn't half as torturous for me.



This is Ocean Beach, one of my favorite places. (maybe next time it will be hot and sunny!)


Big Fat Navy Vessel



The Starbucks people kept putting 'rob' for 'RoD's' name. It happened twice, so I HAD to take a picture. lol


That's pretty much all I've got...
