Tell me, is it wrong to make your own Birthday cake? What if you really like to bake? Yesterday was my birthday and I did bake my own cake. There were offers of other cakes, but I wanted to make my own. I am now 36. It used to be that my Birthday was a big deal. I would take the day off work wear a tiara, you would know it was coming. Now birthdays are really no big deal. Don't get me wrong, they are still special, but without the same impact they once had. However this day seemed really special. Friends took me to lunch. Brooke made her famous taco salad. Elio helped me with the candles. I was surrounded by people I love and I felt loved. what could be better.
