"In Honor of Cinco de Mayo..."

This was a phrase made popular during my sophomore year of college. I forget now how it started, but on that particular May 5th, we decided to use the Mexican holiday as an excuse to pretty much do (or to avoid doing) whatever the hell we wanted. Go out for a lavish lunch on a college student’s budget? Si! Skip class? Si! All of them? Si! Go shopping and drink margaritas all afternoon and night instead? Si, si, SI! We found the phrase so marvelous that we used it consistently for months.


We tried to celebrate by grabbing Nachomama's for dinner, but the Hacienda traffic was insane (seriously...how early do you have to get there to get a spot in the actual parking lot?!), so we're postponing the celebration until Friday night, which will be better anyway since we'll actually be on a Mexican beach!


So, how did you finish this sentence today?

LOL! I thought that sounded familiar! ;) In fact, at the time, I think it was like, "In honor of Cinco de Mayo, lets lay out between every class and before and after work?" I was so tan.... *sigh*

So - In honor of Cinco de Mayo... I had a strong margarita at work followed by beers till 10 with a friend while she tried on her wedding dress for the very first time. :)

In honor of cinco de Mayo- I threw a small get togther with a couple good friends, some people I had never met, and a killer taco and nacho bar.

Great excuse to eat, drink, and be social!
