Things that are pissing you off. - Page 2844

So, a number of my friends all graduated college the same year I did (What. Are. The. Odds) and they're all posting about how old they're feeling because their (our) 20-year reunion is coming up. 20 years. 20 goddamn years.

They're not making me feel any younger, that's for sure.

my wife is having a valentines day lunch with her friends.

she's had this lunch with the same friends (mostly single women who might not have a date that day/today) for the last 3 years.

the 2nd year of this lunch I baked them all cupcakes as a nice gesture. I baked 6 of them, then packed it up for my wife. I got facebook messages/texts and even a couple calls of gratitude.

this year I made cupcakes again, but now the number of cupcakes is a fucking dozen and each of them has to be earmarked to a specific person.

I baked them anyway and my wife starts complaining about its going to be difficult to schlep them on the L train, and I start laughing because it was her who asked for a dozen to be baked the day before and it almost turns into a totally ridiculous spousal 1st world problem quarrel.

you do something nice but it gets wrapped up in this pseudo-holiday which is a lose lose situation.

You should make a dicture imprint in the icing of those cupcakes. That would be an awesome story.

enjoy the cupcakes ladies... they are super special.

now you know what to get her for christmas

I never knew this existed but now I need one.

I will make dicture imprints in your cupcakes for you.

How small are the cupcakes going to be?

now I know what I'm going to get my wife next Valentines:

the aformentioned cupcake carrier... (thanks by the way... like harvey said that is a solution to a problem that i didn't know I had (even though I clearly did last night)).

and the Greenpoint Sewage Plant tour. (i'm seriously thinking of doing this next year... its super hipstery but the place is weirdly fascinating/looking).

Believe it or not, my wife has one of those and loves it.

very trandy now for birthdays at school where you need to bring in a peanutbutter/nutfree cupcake for every kid in the class

do people go to Magnolia with these things?

I would believe it.

No, my wife and her friends bake a lot. IIRC, that thing can do either a cake or cupcakes with an insert.

I have a philosophical objection to cupcakes. Magnolia is also super lame.
