i usually celebrate by going out for a nice dinner and enjoying some quality time with a close friend of mine: food.
my actual, real life people, friends and family out-did themselves this year by celebrating with me individually and taking me out for several meals.
i am very grateful to them for this; as i enjoyed what was probably one of my top five birthdays.
thank you guys! you're all amazing.
*high fives*
by the end of last night i had gone out for a staggering:
2 beers
1 grille cheese with tomato and spinach
1 bag of chips and guacamole
1 mojito
3 cheddar biscuits
1 cup coleslaw
1 large plate of coconut shrimp
1 mellow yellow
1 green tea donut
1 rosemary scone
1 bacon cheddar hotdog with fries
3 more beers
1 basket of seasoned fries
a couple pods of edamame
4 shots of peach sake
and a giant 35 piece sushi platter with complimentary birthday cheesecake slice....
then half a beer.
this was no easy feat and i am stoked to have shared it with so many wonderful people.
