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!

Red Robins… Why does that name fill me with dread? Oh right, CRAYONS
First, I absolutely love the shoes. Those are so appropriately you! I do admit that I covet them.
Second, gorgeous pictures of the moon over Van. I especially like the earlier pictures where you can see the man in the moon. So cool!
Third, yay for the return of scooting. Well done you for being spontaneous even if it hurts. Have a great time.
Birthday respects.
Remember, Vancouver gets twice as much rain as Victoria. Just go for it.
It is not currently raining, nor does it look like it will.
However, it is kinda grey… but just that really light grey, like the sun *might* just burn through the clouds at any moment… also, it is warm, despite the lack of blue skies!
There is often sun on my Fourth of July birthdate, however. Just sayin’.
