Swear to dog, Jesse, I just almost posted "is it too early for wine?"

You're two and three hours ahead of me, so I say go for it.

Also, I feel bad for the kid--maybe it's being an oldest but I feel like his brother probably dragged him into it/warped him.

Matt,

Has the situation resolved itself?

one of her neighbors just donated his house to the local firehouse so they could burn it down for training purposes

Cool. The last time I picked someone up at the Syracuse airport they were doing a pretend plane crash thing with emergency vehicles and victims. And tons of flashing signs letting people know it was fake. It was fascinating.

(coworker still listening to scanner, still annoying)

The Internet-famous picture of a little girl eerily smiling in front of a burning house?

That picture is awesome.

Unrelatedly, that cupcake had WAY too much frosting. I never would have thought such a thing could be possible (I would eat frosting with a spoon, happily), but they're these crazy cupcakes that have more frosting than cupcake: [link] Who knew I had an upper limit on frosting? (They said they can use less frosting for special orders, so the wedding cupcakes won't be insane.)

Oh yeah, that's way too much.

I think maybe the proper cupcake-to-frosting ratio is 1 part cupcake, 0.5 part frosting. Not 1 part cupcake, 1.5 parts frosting.

I prefer 1 part cupcake, 0.25 part frosting.

Ugh, I hate that too-much frosting!

I went into the fridge to see about white wine and found a year-old bottle of prosecco! That's totally legit for day-drinking. (I mean, I knew I also have a bottle of vinho verde I bought last weekend. My refrigerator is not just a mystery wine cavern.)

Also, I realized I didn't have anything to eat hummus off of, but I do have flour tortillas, so I'm baking a couple of those up for later. Maybe I'll even shower!

Oh, that reminds me, we get Curbside Cupcakes tonight as part of the Food Truck Friday group in my 'burb!
