I, however, don’t like cake, yes I know....every time I’m at a birthday party I get the same response.
Them- Do you want some cake?
Me- No thanks.
Them- Are you sure? How can you not eat cake at a birthday party?
Me-Because I don’t care for cake.
Them- You don’t like cake?! Are you crazy?!
Me- Yes. I guess so.
But this home made one I will actually eat.

Happy 29th Birthday, TJ!!!! I, your Mother, doesn't feel much older then that so it's hard to believe you are at the end of your twenties.
