Happy Birthday To Me!

Anyone who know me, knows that I love my birthday!  And tonight I'm going out for what is supposed to be the best Mexican Food in Dallas.  So my favorite style of food, in one of my favorite cities, with my favorite guy, on my favorite day - I can feel how jealous you all are.  No, seriously, I know anyone who reads this is just happy for me!  And I'm sure lots of people are happy not to be in Dallas during late July.  And some people don't even love Mexican food - but my point, and I do have one, is that I'm not one of those people who get all melancholy around special days.  Like Christmas - it does not have to be perfect to be fabulous.  And if some years, all the stars aline and it does turn out perfect, (like this year), all the better.

One of my favorite Oklahoma friends, Catherine, has a way of looking at things that seeps into your subconscious.  Really - ask anyone who reads her blog.  In addition to her fashion sense, she takes wonderful pictures and I often think of her when whipping out my camera for an unusual shot- whether it is a scene I find funny, awesome, poignant, or industrial.  And since she and her sweetie drive around in a Smart Car, this really made me miss being in Tulsa with her today.  Yes, that's a Smart Car with a rack on the back.  These guys are ready to tow around some bicycles.  Those bikes will be bigger than the car.  Too good to pass up!

  2. Thanks Anne! Since I'm comparing Dallas to the furnace that Tulsa has been most of this Summer, I'm pretty happy!

    Happy Birthday to you!

    I thought of you today as I was zipping through Tulsa traffic (WHEN will they be finished with the interstates?). Have a marvelous birthday with your honey. Enjoy the fabulous food!

    PS: Totally peeved a trucker with the Smart this morning. He didn't expect that much get-up-and-go!

  4. Hi Catherine! Thanks for the song! Think how much more surprised that trucker would have been if you were pulling along a couple of bikes, too.

  8. Thanks Sanda! I had a great birthday and came home to find a package from you with wonderful and strange foreign tastes and smells. And soap in the shape of Alabama? Where can you find something so great? This was very sweet of you - Thank you so much!

  9. Thanks Terri - Originally I thought it also had a trailer hitch and I could just see it pulling one of those old teardrop shaped trailers.
    The Mexican Food was wonderful - place was called Cantina Larado, and it might be a chain. Didn't taste like a chain's food, though.

  10. Hi Shelley - I did have a great birthday. Dallas has great Mexican food. A little different from the West Coast style, but I'll bet the Mexican food in England is not like either type.

  11. Hi Beryl
    You are most welcome and I am glad you had a great birthday. There's a little shop in my town that makes and sells that goat milk soap and candles. I featured the shop on my blog one day last week.

  12. Hi Sanda - I do love Goat Milk Soap! I want to take the candle to California so my kids can smell the Kudzu scent. It's quite delightful and like nothing else I know of.

  13. Beryl - You are right. For one, 'Mexican' food isn't nearly as spicy; also, a British version of any meat dish has enough meat to feed a Mexican family for a week. It's tasty in it's own way, but definitely doesn't satify a Tex Mex craving.
