Today we went for brunch at the Hotel Vancouver to celebrate my birthday. I had just stuffed myself with the perfect amount of prime rib and eggs benedict when the waitress brought me a tray of desserts with a little candle to blow out. I suspected something was up because seven-year olds have a hard time keeping a secret!
After, we drove to Kitsilano around W. 4th to visit some of my favourite stores. Morgane and I shopped for bathing suits at Swimco, the only store where I ever find something good. Then we checked out the books at Duthie’s. I grabbed a piece of my favourite Caper’s chocolate cake for later and finally we stopped at Coast Mountain Sports.
Ghis and I were both working at Coast in Vancouver when we met, but the store has changed a lot since then. I didn’t see anything I needed, like shoes. They don’t even carry Patagonia anymore!
Then we came home and got invited to my bestest friendest since highschool, Jennifer’s house. Morgane got to play with the girls and we had a good visit.
Back home, I forced my parents to watch my favourite movie of late (as I watched it for the third time): Away We Go. Luckily they liked it – I would have had trouble forgiving them otherwise.
Now I’m lying in bed, ready to sign off my blog. It’s raining again which just seems normal for Vancouver in January. Tomorrow, perhaps swimming at the wave pool.
Hello Vancouver girl! Happy to be home? Sorry for my confusion in my mail.
I’m back to work, it’s quiet for now.

It’s my favorite too… Glad I first saw it with you! Too bad you guys get in so late on Thursday and have to leave so fast the next morning =( Still, looking forward to seeing you.
