Yes, it's true, I'm one year older and wiser too! Well atleast I hope I am. My thanks to everyone who left messages on our answering machine and sent fun gifts. Maybe I'm a bit of a nerd, but I always get super excited for my birthday. Manburger doesn't totally understand this, b/c whenever it comes to his birthday, he's always so disinterested. Maybe it's a guy thing?Anyway, I had a great birthday. Early in the morning Manburger and I went down to La Jolla and went sea kayaking. Once we get the pictures from our waterproof camera developed, I'll tell you more about it.
My birthday cake was super wonderful! Manburger ordered a tres leches cake from my favorite Mexican bakery, it was perfect! As you can see from the pictures, it's iced in cream and filled with a strawberry filling. Yum-o! 
In the evening, Manburger and I headed off to a restaurant called the Beach Grass Cafe for some California eats. I had a yummy stack of grilled veggies and some cheddar mashed potatoes (normally I wouldn't go for the mashed potatoes, but it was my birthday) and Manburger ordered Fettucini with scallops and a fresh tomato sauce.
In the end, I think I ate as much of Manburger's as I did of mine. His pasta was amazing; it brought back memories of Boston's Northend. Needless to say, the restaurant was totally worth it, and I would love to go back. 
Overall it was a great birthday, and I can hardly wait for the next one :) Just kidding, I'm in no rush for the next year to fly by.

I can't believe that you didn't mention the book that your wonderful mother-in-law gave you for your birthday!
