So I just boldly stated to Luke and my parents "I think this was the best blueberry muffin that I've ever had!"  They gave me crazy faces, laughed and told me that I must just be hungry.  But seriously it was.  I tried to get my dad to side with me because he halved it with me, but he just gave me one of those crazy faces.  Then my mom said "It was from Starbucks at the airport and it's been in this brown bag squished in my luggage bag all day."  I don't care, it was the best blueberry muffin ever. 

I actually tried to make blueberry muffins from scratch last week.  It's just not the same.  Have you ever made blueberry muffins from scratch?  They taste weird.  Ironically they taste weird because of the fresh blueberries.  It was too real.   Luke loved them, but I was so disappointed.  I was hoping that the fresh berries would make the muffins even better than the box can, but it was sort of a toss up in looking for a recipe and I didn't know what I was going to get.  It was kinda like ordering strawberry lemonade at a restaurant.

I really enjoy fresh strawberry lemonade, NOT the kind made from a powder.  Sometimes restaurants serve the powder kind and try to pass it off as strawberry lemonade, but I can totally tell the difference and not just because the real kind usually has strawberry shavings in it.  It's like the difference of real fruit vs. strawberry candy.  Strawberry candy tastes nothing like real strawberries, so why is it named "strawberry?"  They should just call it "pink sugar candy." 

                  VS.

So anyway back to the muffin.  If anyone has a recipe for blueberry muffins that taste like the kind you get at a bakery OR even better the kind that you can get at Soupplantation (Christa can actually get pretty close at making those) then PU...LE...ZE share!  Because it hasn't quite hit summertime here so our oven is still in full time operation.

And speaking of recipe's I would love to have.  If anyone knows how to make strawberry lemonade (the real kind) OR the peach ice tea from Olive Garden then I would love to have those as well! 

So I'm going to try to get out of our apartment lease. 

Why?  Because I just feel so squished here and I might                go crazy if I have to live here for 6 more months. 

How?  I'm not exactly sure, but I have a few ideas.

First, I'm going to just inquire about how one would go about getting out of the lease.  I seem to remember the leasing agent saying that it was possible to get out of the lease without a penalty, but I don't remember exactly what the details were.

Then, if that doesn't work I'm totally going to play the Prego Card.  I'm going to state the facts that we're about to have another baby and I can't even fit another crib into our apartment without putting it in the middle of the living room and that we really need a three bedroom place to live when the new baby arrives. 

If that doesn't work I may have to revert to a formal complaint about how they are not holding up their end of the apartment lease by complaining about all the issues I have with this place. 

Such as:

Having to turn off all the lights and the T.V. to blow dry my hair so the power doesn't go out...which it still does consistently because I'm always forgetting.

Having to plunge the toilet once a week and just never knowing if the toilet's going to flush or need to be plunged.

Waking up at 3:30am when the Daddy Elephant jumps out of bed for work

Listening to the Elephants use the toilet from my kitchen table

Listing all of the appliances that have had to be replaced since we've lived here.

The list goes on and on, but I'll stop here because I hope not to have to use this list.

So wish me good luck...
