An ode to Bonnie

Bonnie, because of you I did not have to wake up at 7:00 a.m, I did not have to sit in school for four hours, I did not have to take a final exam, and best of all I got to make delicious Banana Muffins.. wait delicious, moist, peanut butter/cream cheese frosting whole wheat Banana Muffins. My little brother thanks you too Bonnie, since he was able to eat them all day.

I got these muffins from King Arthur Flour and the peanut butter frosting from Fake Ginger both together made for an amazing midday snack.

I also just want to point out my new linking skills (: impressive
