Another year up in smoke!

Today at work, we had a little get-together at lunch to celebrate Thanksgiving and my birthday (since I won't be in the office on Monday). Everything went well, until Patty torched the Birthday Pie!

And she hadn't even put the candles on it yet! This must mean I'm really getting old. It caught fire in the oven. Looks pretty scrumptious, doesn't it?

Next year, they can forget about the sweets and just give me a fire extinguisher, since I'll have 40 candles to blow out. Yeesh! Time flies.
