Free margaritas are my friend.

shoot... where do you work and are they hiring??

$1 Coronas and Tequila shots downtown.. right after class ends at 9:15 and I get my composite picture taken at 9:30.. I'm there!!!




(this year, they're selling "Corona Buckets" I've heard that they are big buckets that say 'Corona' on them and they are filled with ice and Coronas.. supposedly they're only $10.. we shall see!! )

I rarely drink but I feel an On The Border margarita coming!

I say it the tex-mex way, but with an American accent:

Sink-O Da My-O.

Its how I hear it around here....

Anyway... To hell with Corona (although its distribuited by a San Antonio company) I'm a Dos Equis kid... with some lime and a dash of salt..




But I want ya'll who do drink Corona to look at the bottle next time. It says, "Distribuited by the Gambrinus Company, San Antonio, TX 78232" So think of lifesaver the next time ya'll is downin a Corona. I guess ya;ll could think of Adri too, but forget her. Think of me, lol.

I was drinking a Corona a few years ago and thought it tasted like something I'd had before, so I read the label and saw the Gambrinus name. I don't know which might the the original, but there was a Gambrinus Brewery in Columbus and a lot of folks drank "Gam." Tasted exactly like Corona.

As for the holiday, nice parade in Denver and a big celebration in Civic Center Park downtown over the weekend -- then cruising Federal Blvd. both nights.

The cops actually helped with the cruising. Nice weekend, few arrests.

Very impressive.

We celebrate Cinco de Mayo and the preceding Quatro De Drunko (my big bro's bday)

The kids at my school had the cutest parade around the school. All in costumes and dancing La Raspa in the intersection in the front of the school. It was a big deal - we had the streets blocked off so we could dance. It was fun! First time we have done this, but I say it's gonna be tradition from now on.

We had our alumnae meeting tonight in order to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We made reservations at a Mexican restaurant downtown called Gonzalez y Gonzalez. It was so crowded that we couldn't get in. We finally spoke to the hostess and they gave away our reservation. We went to another restaurant. As we were about to order, we smelled and saw smoke. Finally, we saw firemen, hot firemen. So we went to restaurant number three after an hour and a half. No margaritas and no Mexican food, but a good time was had by all.

Cream, any day you see hot firemen, your day has NOT been wasted

lol, all of them were hot. We want to set up a mixer with them.

Coronas have 300 calories per beer

This was totally cute - I came into work this morning planning to eat a banana for breakfast, but one of my coworkers left a breakfast burrito and "Happy Cinco de Mayo" note on my desk before I got there (because I am always late)!

Needless to say, I chose the burrito - it was dynamite on a cajun stick. YUM!

You are such a nerd.

I spent most of the day sleeping, so no Cinco de Mayo celebrating for me. Boo.

and a shot of tequila for all...
