MMmmmm Banana Bread

what a nice relaxing sunday. actually....i have done more today then my lazy ass does on a normal work week (minus going to work of course). dishes done ...with the help of hubby doing the drying, some laundry, went to Shoppers Drugmart to get a few things....and now baking some banana bread. the house smells soooo good. i wanted to make 2 loaves....but didnt have enough flour for both...so one will have to do. so while the banana bread bakes...im playing on pogo.com....reading blogs....and now NASCAR!!! WOHOO NASCAR IS ON! what more could you want on a sunday....unless of course you are into *bleck* football (which hubby enjoys). so he is in the bedroom...im out here in the living room......kiddo is watching a movie in her room....lol ah, what a family...lol
