garbage can

this week marked another successful year of staying alive. 
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.
