I just stumbled upon the concept of a "Smash Cake" and it enraged me so much I had to rant about it somewhere. Would it be out of line to threaten my in-laws that if anyone even thinks about doing (getting? making?) a smash cake for Don that I'll make Nik disown them? It probably is.

My career is stagnant at best, but my personal life is going swimmingly. I suppose I didn't get my MS as mush as my MRS, functionally.
