Newest Fave
Saw a new video on CMT this past week and uncovered a darling song by Whitney Duncan, called "Skinny Dippin'". It's adorable! And I'm so mad that I've now just heard of her! Guess she won Nashville Star in 2007, the same show that brought us Miranda Lambert. I need to watch this show!!!

Mud Run
Thought to share with you some pictures from the Mud Run at Camp Pendleton, CA and the Banana Pancakes team:
Think we made Jack Johnson proud!
I highly recommend AGAINST 3 hours of sleep before a 10k in the cold and mud. My lips were bright blue by the end of the race and I couldn't wake up after.

Washington Trip
I know... it's been weeks since my last post.
Guess life is getting the best of us!
Fortunately, we were able to escape to WA for a weekend for our friends Troy and Kaylyn's wedding. We had a wonderful time! Was great seeing our friends and family, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous.
Wedding reception by the St.Louis River... so pretty
Some action shots:
We even made it to Kalama High School where Twilight was partially filmed. And yes, Rob is acting like a vampire.

Pat's Run
This past weekend, me and some of my friends (and sisters) participated in the Pat Tillman run at ASU.
We all started in different spurts, my sister starting ahead of me. Then, guess who gets air time on Good Morning America?? MY SISTER!!!!
The one time I don't run with her (other than the Mud Run), is the time she gets on national television!! I was so bummed.
Watch her here:

Mom's Birthday on Coronado Island
Our girls trip to Cali first started with fun travel bags, made especially for us. Mine consisted of flips-flops, a tank top, nail polish, nail filer, the DVD Juno and sunglasses. All came in a darling tote inscribed ‘Once a joy always a joy’, LOL. Thanks, Mom! How thoughtful.
We got in A LOT of sun, drinks (too many), laughs, talks and shopping! Oh, and lots of yogurt land.
We also came equipped with our MSU gear to watch the game with our cousin (and MSU alum), Adam and his girl, Andrea, in San Diego. They beat UCONN but didn’t rise up in the championship on Monday night. So sad.
Happy Birthday, mom! Hope you had a fabulous weekend with us!

Newly a Vegetarian
If you haven’t read Skinny Bitch, I highly recommend you do. It changed my universe.
No longer will I eat pork or beef.
It may be a little outdated, but it reinforces that, we are what we eat. Plain and simple. And to be skinny, you first got to get healthy.
After reading, you may be motivated to give up meat, diet soda, dairy, cigarettes, sugars, and alcohol. But me, I’m taking baby steps. Thought I’d start by giving up pig and cow (they’re inhumanely murdered by the big farm factories), diet Dr. Pepper and some dairy. If anything, I’m going to pay closer attention to ingredients and eat more organically, then slowly refrain from chicken as well (they're so unsanitary).
It’s been 4 days, and I’m doing okay. It’s all mental right now. When I saw the pig slashing videos and stories (cows, too), I kept thinking about Lucy (she has a hair cut right now that makes her look like a little piggie). Went to Fresh & Easy, picked up some nuts and dried fruit, and am eating more greens, drinking more water… Taking it day by day with better food intake (and hopefully a better digestive system!)and am already feeling better about my life.
Here are some new sites I’ve been on. There’s even a FREE 30-day vegetarian starter kit (which I’ve ordered)!
www.goveg.com, www.vegcooking.com
AND, just saw that one of my favorite actresses, Cloris Leachman, posed for a PeTA ad! I also think she would be PERFECT as Stephanie Plum’s Grandma Mazur (if they ever made a movie or TV show of the books)! She's probably 82 and going strong BECAUSE she's a vegetarian!
