How would Jebus celebrate Cinco?


Get is? Shots! P.S. Arielle, I am totally using that shot glass you sent!

Well, I like to think that he'd do it up in style, even though Cinco de Mayo is really not that big of a deal in Mexico-- just inflated in the US by beer companies, just like Valentine's Day was embellished by Hallmark. Be that as it may, tonight GP and I will be enjoying some (healthy! Made with ground turkey!) soft tacos, homemade guacamole, and some margaritas (in the interest of my figure, mine will be via Hungry Girl), and then maybe some of that sweet ranchero music that we get to enjoy on a fairly regular basis, thanks to our neighbors who have no sense that there is anyone else in the world who doesn't need to hear to their music. Ah, apartment life.

Oh, and as promised, here are the Jesus sandals-- the closest this girl will ever come to Birkenstocks (these were about $15 at Ross. I am not about to pay for actual Birkenstocks, nor am I willing to consistently sport that "crunchy" look).

Jesus doing shots for Cinco de Mayo? Totally plausible!

Haha, I have Mexican neighbors who keep a ROOSTER in their backyard. Yes, it DOES crow in the mornings. Every once in awhile, you stop hearing the crowing for a couple weeks (we think they kill and eat it), but then, sure enough, a new rooster comes around... Hope your Cinco was fun!

1. You make me smile.

2. Yay for healthy, yummy food!

3. Isn't Crystal Light amazing in drinks? My friend and I have made numerous CL/vodka/water concoctions that are delish and don't taste like alcohol! That makes it even better. ... I'm going to have to try that margarita mix.

4. Nice sandals. You know, Birks aren't so bad if you'd give them a try. Granted, they cost a lot, but I have four pairs and two are about 8 years old and still going strong... Just saying..

Nicole - Jesus and Cinco, a match made in heaven.

Arielle - see? Useful already.

Meg - I know, right?

Angela - I am thankful that there is no such wildlife (being kept as pets, anyway) around, although there are some birds that are WAY too chirpy for their own good around 5am.

EP - I am with you on the healthy and the Crystal Light, but still waiting to see with the Birkenstocks. They're pretty low on the List of Expensive Shoes to Buy.
