Yes, a bit unorthodox, but it's my birthday and I can do what I want!
I woke up to the Diva serenading me. It was cute. Before you ask, I am only as old as I look and it BETTER be younger than I really am!!! I've gotten past the need for birthday celebrations, or so I thought. I knew Diva and Elvis wouldn't be home today so we had 'birthday ice cream' on Tuesday, the last day of the week I know we will all be home at a reasonable time to do something, but somehow it wasn't the same.
Today I woke up and decided to make this my day. I whipped up a cake and even had orange juice pancakes for brunch (nothing fancy, pancakes with oj instead of water). My little birthday gift to myself.
I could have made a regular cake, but not today! I dug deep for this one.
