Happy Birthday to ME!

This week I celebrated the big 3-0!  It was a great day.  I got to hang out with the boys, have lunch with my sister and a great dinner, too.

I have been thinking a lot about my goals for this year.  I know it is cheesy, but I have.

My serious goal is to live a more meaningful life.  I want to work harder to mean what I say and say what I mean.  I also want to be sure to say fewer mean things, this seems to be something I am way better at than I should be.  I also want to be sure that I spend more time in more meaningful ways.  More time playing with Avery & Hank less time worrying about a spotless(not that it EVER was even close) house.   When I volunteer for something doing it because I mean it.  Trying to find out what it is important to others and why it is meaningful to them, less time yapping about the same old things that I find interesting/important.

My less serious goal is to be more brave.  I love things to always stay the same, but that isn't always good.  I am a wimp about trying new foods, new restaurants, ets. 

In honor of trying new things I am shamelessly copying my friend Annalee, Michael and I are going to try 30 new restaurants in our 30th year. 

So for my Birthday Linde and Jeff joined us at Rusty's Tacos. 
I can't get too far away from my personality, I love some rules.... So, I made everyone rate the place out of 5 stars and give comments, so here goes!
Avery-doesn't get the stars concept.  But, he threw his tortilla on the ground and ate the chicken so I say he gave it a 3.  He loved being outside, and I loved that made it not such a big deal that he threw his tortilla on the ground. 
B-day girl- 3 1/2 stars 
     great shrimp taco, fair chicken taco, good queso, rocks margarita fair, atmosphere very fun
Hank-no vote, but everyone told him he was cute!
Wow, I hope you have your sunglasses on, I am ghostly!
Michael 3 1/2 stars
     didn't love the pork taco, did love the fish(not breaded) taco
Linde 3 1/2 stars
     Excellent frozen margarita and shrimp taco, chicken not so great!
Jeff 3 stars
     Good pork taco, the tortillas were too weak

So far I am having fun with my new restaurant adventure!!
So, let me know where we else we need to try, only 29 more to go.

Don't forget to mention jd's chippery for any Dallas folk. Oh the delicious cookie goodness we had for bday dessert! If you are preggo and in DFW it is a must. I've never been in there without seeing a preggo mama getting one. I hear the cookies make your babies sweet.
