This year's celebrations involved a sous vide salmon party and six bottles of wine for five people, cocktails at the academy of science, a half day just for me on my birthday, dancing the night away, girl friends from NY visiting over the long weekend, several ridiculously amazing dinners, high/tipsy giggle fests all around, Sonoma tour that involved a limo for seven, many bottles of wine, gorgeous vineyard views, general debauchery, and impromptu salsa dancing in a winery courtyard:
And now it's time to knock myself out with cold medication and sleep for hopefully 12 hours. I can't remember when the last time was that I had a good night's sleep.
