Model 3.0
Well, I've been model 3.0 for all of 6 days now. How am I feeling? Surprisingly, I think model 3.0 is better than model 2.0. Liesl is right. 30 is better. So what do I plan to do with my first year in the 30's? I would like to say I have high aspirations of being something grandiose, but I'll just settle for getting the rest of the debt paid in full, and building a nice little nest egg for Jess and me. Then we can look at options for when we're both models 4.0. I guess it actually is a major feat to be able to pay off any and all debt, live within your means, and save for an earlier retirement. If I could ever figure out how to not work for the man, I would do it.

Happy 30th - YA YA YA YA YA
We arrived here Friday around dinner time. This is Johnny G's in Dallas. It is awesome!
I did not realize there was a surprise celebration planned. Johnny's is a usual stop for us when we go to Dallas because it is just that cool. So I didn't think anything different of this time. When the lights started to flicker, I secretly thought to myself, "John, did you forget to pay the light bill???" Ha ha ha ha ha!
Once the lights stopped flickering, a cake emerged from the kitchen, and folks started singing Happy Birthday to me. On a scale of 1 to 10 on the coolness of a cake, this has got to be a 100. It has every element of everything I like. 1. Hello Kitty; 2. Motorcycle; 3. Hello Kitty's YA YA YA YA YA; 4. Pink; 5. Designed by the coolest sis-in-law in the world; 6. Bandanna; 7. Sunglasses; 8. Total Surprise!
This is some extreme precision and extreme concentration. This is 1/2 a sheet cake, 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 vanilla. It was super yummy. We shared with at least 1/2 the restaurant. Folks around us were reminiscent of the days when they were 30 and how mortified they would have been to have the world singing Happy Birthday to them at 30. 
I thought it was all fantastic. It was a total surprise! And the shots that kept getting sent to me made me very happy :-) *arm up in the Hello Kitty attack* YA YA YA YA YA! 
Remember, folks up in Dallas have got to check out Johnny G's.

What's On My Head?
Too much Tequila will make anyone do weird things. I seem to be highly prone to do weird things even without alcohol. So the following photos just back that up. I didn't start out the night with this pink skull cap on my head. It was one of the first gifts I opened. So it of course had to immediately be placed on my head. Then I pulled the dirt bike out of a bag. I'm shocked the bag didn't end up on my head too. Looking back, I'm REALLY shocked the bag didn't make an appearance on my head.
Once I was done extracting items out of the bag, I proceeded to remove the wrapping from the boxed item. I was instantly intrigued with this wrapping paper as it is just like contact paper and it's sticky all over. Well, that just got things off to an even better start. Now I was in a competition with myself to see how many things I could place on my head. And do you see what I got? Yes, that's a box of tennis balls. HA HA HA. . . and no, I don't play tennis. I think they were for my walker. You know, those balls they puncture to put on the back 2 legs of walkers to help ease the slide across floors. HA HA HA. . . hee hee hee. . . HA HA HA!
And then, I just couldn't leave that contact paper alone. With skull cap still on my head, I proceeded to wrap myself in the totally sticky wrapping paper. If there had been more, I probably would have been rolling around on the floor trying to do a full body mummy wrap. See, this is where I don't know if it was me, or the Tequila fueling this obsession. 
In between the time that I unwrapped the box of tennis balls and this next photo, the restaurant staff brought me some hideous dessert with a sparkler (I think, maybe I was trying to blow out someone's cigarette) and the waiter had smeared it all over my nose. I don't know at what point the bandana ended up backwards, but I proceeded to stuff my face with the horrible dessert. It had to be the Tequila at this point cause the dessert was terrible.
Once I realized the bandana was still on my head, I quickly removed it. Only to have it be replaced with . . . yes, that is correct. . . my napkin.
But it wasn't enough to have just the one napkin on my head. I decided to start stealing the napkins away from the folks sitting by me and continue to build on the things that were on my head. I'm not sure why I didn't return to the wrapping paper at this point. I think it got taken away from me.
Yup, that's me in all my glory. I think that pose was inspired by Pam & Jason (love ya guys)!
Oh man, how many things did I put on my head that night? And then to end the dinner, I decided to give my sexy pose.
And that wasn't the end of the night. . . but thank the Lord & Taylor, that was the end of the photos. :-)

Blast of a Weekend
I felt the need for speed...and I fed that addiction. Had an absolute blast this weekend with my bro, sis-n-law, and Jess. We went to the race way in North Dallas and raced each other. These drag cars are crazy fast and you're heading directly into a concrete wall prayin' to LBJ (thnx FIL) that the car actually does stop automatically like they say.
