It's time for 5 Question Friday!

1. Did you have a favorite blanket or toy as a kid? If so, do you still have it?
Oh yes! Everyone who knows me knows about NightNight! I have slept with this blanket for as long as I can possibly remember. Mrs. Pauline Roper made it for me when I was a baby. It has seen better days, but I just love it. While staying at my MeMe and Papa's one weekend my mother forgot to pack it and I would not go to bed unless I had my PapaBear (my CareBear) and my NightNight, so Papa loaded me in the car and we went to my house to get them! I know, I am a 26 year old girl who still sleeps with her blanket, but I will never let NightNight go.


2. Do you dream in color?
Oh yes! It's totally High Definition dreaming for me!


3. How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?
I love how tall I am! I am 5 feet and 10 inches. My height is something I got from the Pace side of the family, and trust me, we are all pretty tall. It's a family trait that I treasure everyday. I know that sounds corny, but when someone says, "Oh you're a Pace" I just smile. We are all pretty tall so there is always a fight to see who goes on the back row in a family photo because most of all us are all tall!


4. If you could have anyone's (celeb or other) voice as the guide on your GPS, who would it be?
I would say Chris Noth aka Mr. Big. I love his voice, always steady and calm.


5. Do you return your shopping cart to the corral or leave it wherever in the parking lot? Depends on my mood for the day....The way I see it, it's job security for the cart people if one cart is not returned. Or a cart for the homeless to push their stuff around in.

Ok, everyone I am out. I am watching Forest Gump, and I have already done some crying! This movie always gets to me. Have a great weekend!

Quick Post!

So life has been super busy here lately...guess that is better than nothing at all!

First thing....my friend Jennifer (who I work out with just about everyday) and I started a new cardio routine. We walk for 5 minutes and run for 1. We do this for a total of 30 minutes. It doesn't sound like much, but boy is it a workout! I love the high I get from running (even if it is only just 5 minutes total), I can see why people are always running! It's a great way to burn calories and it's just plain fun! Who cares if people are looking at you because you might be breathing just a bit harder than they are or sweating more than the entire gym combined? I just keep telling myself, I am doing this for me and not for them!

Now what I am about to say probably doesn't make much sense seeing how I just talked about working out....
But I made the best banana bread recipe tonight! Banana bread is something we all have a recipe that has been used in our family for the last 50 years, but this recipe is amazing! My friend on facebook asked for a good recipe and another friend posted her family recipe. Needless to say, I will be using her family recipe and not mine anymore. If anyone would like it here it is...(for a better tasting bread, make sure bananas have ripened at least 10 days. Trust me it's worth the wait)

1.5 cups of mashed up bananas (about 4)
3/4 cup margarine or butter
1.5 cups sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup buttermilk (or milk)
3/4 cups nuts (optional)

Bake in a loaf pan at 350 degrees until golden brown..about 45-50 minutes.

O.k. nuggets, I am out.

First Post of July..I suck at this blogging thing!
