catching up: birthday festivities

wow!

the first week of my thirty-sixth year has been a wild ride indeed.

i went directly from all of the birthday activities into a week long trip to ohio for thanksgiving. i'm thoroughly exhausted from all the fun and travel!

so now, a quick birthday recap before we launch into abundant december delights:

on the actual day, i went into san francisco to celebrate with my urban tribe.

we ate a fun meal together at the westfield food court...

i received a sweet gift from my friend ami...


{beautiful + delicious}

my friends becca and ben treated me to a beard papa cream puff...


{fresh pâte à choux + caramel cream}

we all went to see megamind 3D at the metreon...


{festooned with 3D spectacles}

and returned home after the movie to enjoy red velvet cupcakes from cako...

as usual, there was much merrymaking and tomfoolery.

i was a bit rough around the edges the next morning when i had to get up at 4:30 to catch a flight to ohio for thanksgiving.

however, it was a zippy way to start my year and i absolutely loved it!

a big thank you to my friends for celebrating with me and bringing such joy to my life.
