Happy belated birthday! I know how you feel, I never get any parade either. My birthday is tomorrow and it kind of makes me feel blue because I know nothing special will happen (# 50 too boot). A couple of years ago I got the biggest surprise. I was lamenting to the veterinary tech that treated our cat (2 times a week for kidney failure) that nothing special, not even a cake. The next week at our appointment she had a belated birthday cake for me. That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I will never forget. I wish you something fun and unexpected to happen this year that you will never forget. And I guess I should be smart like you and get a frozen cake to celebrate myself, you can treat yourself on your birthday, just do like you do for everyone else. I usually like to shop for myself, then your get exactly what you wanted! Hope you enjoyed your cake.
