"They Say it's Your Birthday..."

So yesterday was my birthday. If you missed it, don't worry, gifts and all major credit cards still accepted. Anyway, I decided to see if the fact that it was my birthday would get me anything free. Well, IT DID! Of course we got a free dessert where we went to dinner, but everyone does that. Before I went to work, I stopped into a cupcake place. I simply told them that it was my birthday and asked if they did a "happy birthday cupcake." They told me that they haven't really done that before, but they ended up giving me one anyway! Cool huh?! I would have stopped at more places, but I was running late for work. So when your birthday rolls around, milk it! Go to flower shops and ask if they do a "happy birthday rose" or go to a bakery and do what I did. If they say no, who cares! But a lot of places usually want to be nice and they'll hook you up!
