I had a really good birthday. Like, for real. It started out with my four year old making me breakfast. It was four Mini Wheats in a huge bowl of milk. So cute. Then Mister took her to school and I went for a long walk listening to awesome music like:
Waiting Room, Fugazi
Smile, Lilly Allen
Mary, Mary, Run DMC
Moron Brothers, NOFX
Yele, Wyclef
The Food, Common and Kayne West
Just to Get By, Talib Kweli
Turncoat, Antiflag

and so on.
Then I had to go to Sam’s Club for groceries, but that’s okay because one of my favorite things to do is grocery shop! I’ve come along way, baby. I also discovered Sam’s carries Cloudline, a Pinot Noir from Oregon that’s supposedly good stuff.
Then my mom took me to get a manicure/pedicure and don’t you love looking at your toes and hands and after you get them done?
Then I picked up my daughter and saw my preschool friends and these moms are the coolest. Like, they surf and drink a lot and complain about the same things I complain about, which is great.
Then I went to Town, a restaurant that I love because the food just tastes really clean and fresh, and the ingredients they use and the way they combine them is really surprising and innovative, especially in Hawaii where it’s hard to find a place that’s not Asian Fusion and everything on the menu tastes like it was dipped in Hoisin then thrown on a plate.
I had the opah, a moon fish, with Kabocha pumpkin, okra, potatoes, ewa corn and a green salsa. It was so good. More later on menu…

Oh, and my presents were so cool, though I keep thinking about what they reveal about my personality (or what others think of it). Hmmm, let me look at everything again and I’ll get back when I make more sense of it.
Oh, and I turned 33
