Yesterday was awesome.

After work, I went to the Fluevog store with Miranda, Reilly and Shan to pick out my birthday shoes. I had visually narrowed my choice down to three online and was all but sold on this pair, but then I tried on these and fell in love. They’re not as practical, but they felt delightful on my deformed feet and would be much less painful in the long run. Plus: added height. I love my birthday shoes!

After a birthday dinner at Red Robins (birthday corn dogs for the win), we went up Cypress to watch the solstice moon rise. It was fucking awesome. I got lots of pictures, and generally just had an excellent time watching the red moon rise over my favourite city.

Ed and I are still trying to decide (well, I’ve decided and he’s still asleep) but I think we might be scooting to Victoria after all – the forecast of rain has turned into “clouds but some sun”, which is enough for me to have a good time.  I’m excited, if apprehensive because I haven’t packed anything yet and I don’t do very well with seat-of-my-non-pants plans – but if we go, it’ll be good times.

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes both here and on Facebook!
