should be a monkey by now...

i heart all things banana.

















Banana Bread

1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
3 very ripe bananas mashed until smooth
2 eggs
1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat over to 350 F. Use some butter to grease a loaf pan. Mix together the dry ingredients and soften the butter in the microwave. Mix bananas, eggs, butter, and vanilla into the dry ingredients just until cohesive (do not over mix). Bake for 45-60 minutes until browned. Use the toothpick or fork method - insert toothpick in center of bread and it should come out mostly clean when done.

Quite easy to make...

must keep smiling.

Why is it that when you finally feel like life is going to give you a little bit of break, it gives you more stress to deal with???

I finally felt refreshed.
Finally felt like I could breathe again.

Both parents are sick.
Both need a lot of attention.
Stress, worry and having no idea what to do to make things better…

These are the times I hate that all of our family is in Ontario…
I wish my brother and I had more help…

I feel so beautiful today babababababadaba...

Quite a few years ago, I stumbled upon a little band from Edmonton…


Originally Fifth Season, though most people know them as Social Code...
‘Patiently Waiting’ was their album at the time…

Quickly fell in love with their music…

Back then, not many knew who they were or cared.
I remember it being difficult trying to find someone to go the first show I saw of them.
Some even made fun of my love for their music.
Songs always seemed to hit home with me.

I remember hearing them for the first time on local radio and being so excited for them because they were getting more exposure, radio play for them now is no big deal.

I’ve bought their first album as Social Code, ‘A Year at the Movies’ three times since it was released in 2004; One of my go-to albums… The song’ Everything’s Fine, is perfect for blaring in the car after a bad day.

Since then they have released, ‘Social-Code’ and ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll’…
Both great albums but don’t sit quite as well as the original does.

I keep learning of friends going their show in town tomorrow…
Ones that had once turned down going to see them before.

Needless to say, im still getting use to them getting more and more successful but damn proud to have watched them grow over the years.

Here’s to more great music to come from the boys & a great show tomorrow…


So if you haven’t heard SOCIAL CODE before, YOU MUST!

Single off their newest album.... Social Code - Satisfied
