Yes, that's right.

Today is my birthday, and I will be celebrating by working, enjoying my Facebook and Twitter birthday wishes, then eating a fancy steak dinner and probably some cupcakes, then some birthday drinks at Sushi Roku in Santa Monica if you want to come by.  I would wax on about how much knowledge and life experience I've gained in the past couple of years and how sometimes life gives you lemons and you have to suck it up and make lemonade, but I am too busy getting a manicure and eating pancakes for lunch.  Can you see how this birthday is very food-focused?   For awhile I wasn't that into my birthday, because a few years ago, my birthday was the start of the worst year of my entire life, but now I've worked through that bad association and am ready to have fun again.   Food is fun, right?

Also, I went to a great birthday party over the weekend-- my childhood friend is the actor Marco Sanchez (from CSI and like, just about every other show on tv), and his birthday is very close to mine, and his parties are always so fun that I like to pretend they are actually combined parties for both of our birthdays, because people always wish me happy birthday too, and I didn't have to plan or stress out about the party, which I don't like doing.  So, here are some pictures from that, and a clip of Marco on CSI Miami to embarrass him and entertain you.   I would call out some of the people in the pictures, but I'm probably supposed to be all cool and not do that.    But, just in case they're reading this, it was nice to see you Don, and Tim, and Alex, and all of Marco's other cool friends.  See you next year!

  

So, happy birthday to me!   Cakes and flowers may be sent to my house between the hours of 9 and 4.  :)

Awesome. Just awesome. I still can't get over your famous-people life. And yes, food is fun! That's why I bought a chocolate croissant yesterday a.m. at the coffee shop and hid it from Genevieve so I could save it for myself and eat it after my workout later in the day! Yum! (I figure it still fit into my "diet" because a.) I only ate one and b.) I worked out first!)

Happy Birthday!!!! (Multiple exclamation points absolutely required.)

I threw out some gross tupperware last night and thought of you.
