I don't look thirty three!

(Or maybe it is act thirty three!)

Today is going to be a good day. I've decided it is so and I am embracing the birthday. I'm wearing my shiny deep purple blouse. I'm wearing a springy lavender skirt. My boss and a coworker gave me daffodils for my birthday which are in my office looking all happy and yellow.

Oooh! I also baked cupcakes last night! CUPCAKES! :) Chocolate ones that I frosted with vanilla icing and I had pink frosting to put on them but I didn't because I ran out of time. (Plus the pink frosting wasn't as good as I wanted it to be). I brought them in to share and baked them in heart shaped cupcake tins (the ones from Reynolds like the star ones).

I've also decided I'm going to embrace the concept of "The Secret." That's that semi-crazy book about how you can get what you want by putting it out there. Ask, receive, believe is her mantra. Truthfully I buy into some of it (power of positive thinking and all that I believe but that is not unique to her) but the other part I find weird. I read an excerpt (which by no means is the whole book, but what I read was weird) in either Time or Newsweek online and she goes on and on about how to become skinny visualizing, and believing but not dieting and don't even think about dieting... to the point of not even looking at fat people. So I have two that I'm going to try. The first is that I'm going to ask that my apartment will be clean when I get home. If I receive that... then I'll believe. ;) The other is a secret, but I'll even try to incorporate her whole looking at pictures and visualizing what I want and look at people successfully doing what it is I want. I'll let you know how this works out. :) (I'm fairly certain the first one won't but you know... power of positive thinking and all.) :P
