thank god I can't get to there from work.

something set mac off last night and I didn;t keep my cool, so it spun out for an hour. But he did not get violent. He did figure out a new button to push though, dragging treated linens over the suspect carpet and from room to room. UGH. oh and making holes in his mattress encasement.

That sounds really upsetting, but like some overall progress has been made? Still: UGH!

Reading 'notalwaysright' makes me nostalgic for FCOTD. I mean, I'm happy that Joe is out of the shitty job and rocking the hell out of school, but I miss it. I know that he doesn't, though.

World's Largest Cupcake: 1,224-Pound Cupcake Sets Record

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A 1,224-pound triple vanilla cupcake with pink frosting has set a record as the world's largest.

The sugary behemoth was unveiled Saturday at the Woodward Dream Cruise classic cars event in Royal Oak, Mich.

A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to certify the cupcake's girth. It was more than eight times the size of the previous record holder.

The colossal cupcake took 12 hours to bake and included 800 eggs and 200 pounds each of sugar and flour.

Slices of the cupcake were served in exchange for donations to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer organization.

Ryan Abood, owner of New Hampshire-based Gourmetgiftbaskets.com who made the cupcake, told the Detroit Free Press that it clocked in at an estimated 2 million calories.
