because I made it so.
When I got up, I opened the envelopes that I received last week. I opened the gifts I bought myself. I wore my new clothes and felt fresh and new. I went to my new part-time job. When I came home, I used a $2.00 brownie mix with chocolate frosting and made myself a pan of brownies. I read my birthday greetings that came via email and Facebook. I took half the pan of brownies to my dad's house. We ate brownies. He gave me a beautiful birthday card (and a check). My godmother tracked me down at my dad's and wished me happy birthday. Dad and and I watched our favorite t.v. shows. Then when I went home, I listened to the birthday message on my answering machine that my godmother left. I went to bed feeling all warm and chocolate-ly inside.
The next day I went to my job club meeting and told everyone I just turned 35, and they believed me! Then I told them my real age.
