New friends that make you laugh out loud? Sign me up!  I am totally in love with this week – new friends, mini-road trip, happy hour, and massage. Leisure Stress be damned!

Song notes:

1. Son Volt Trace = one of the best road trip albums ever made.  Sing-a-long Central!

2. Too many great songs to choose from, but this is a particular favorite. I believe their only commercial radio “hit”.

3. If you’ve never heard this album or it’s been a while, seriously stop what you are doing and go listen. Brilliant.

December 9th’s Prompt:

Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans.

In March, I turned 40.

To celebrate some of my yoga teacher training buddies and I went on a yoga workshop weekend in Ukiah to study Balance with Mary Paffard.

I know. We know how to party!

A must stop if you are ever in Clear Lake

Once we were primed and ready (ie totally full of fried goodies) we off to Vichy Springs Resort for some soaking in the mineral pools.

An excellent way to spend an afternoon

Post soak, we hopped on down the road to meet the other YTTs for dinner at Oco Time.

Look at those lovely faces.

We chatted, we laughed, we snapped photos and drank a beer (or two).

More lovely faces.

We told jokes and talked about birthdays, age and yoga.

And then it was over.

+++++

It’s funny what a difference a decade makes.

My 30th birthday was a huge drunken bash.

I’m glad that nonsense is over now.

What’s your most memorable party this year?
