Maybe that isn't appropriate in light of the whole Swine Flu....
Eh.
Maybe this one is better...
Little Wiener, Tecate Beer...and a Sombrero. Nothing says Cinco De Mayo like that, am I right? Am I right?
So, any plans for the festive holiday?
I'd like to say I was going out for some authentic Mexican food and maybe a margarita, but it wouldn't be true. It's a school/work night, there will be no celebrating.
I am feel a little sad about celebrations today. Remembering the days that I didn't have the responsibilities I do now...where friends would be blowin up my phone inviting me out here and there.
Where are those days now?
A friend of mine celebrated her birthday this past weekend. She and a group of mutual friends went out to celebrate. I only know this due to the slew of pictures posted on myspace.
I quick grabbed my phone to see if there were any missed calls. None.
I checked all email accounts to see if I missed the invite. None.
What? When did this happen? When did I become odd girl out?
:(
Realistically, I wouldn't have been able to go anyway...but that doesn't make it sting less that I wasn't even CONSIDERED. As IF.
So on this Cinco de Mayo, I say, my ass...it's the fifth of May and I will be sitting in front of my T.V. watching Idol. How's that for celebrations? Take that!
Ok, maybe we'll make quesadillas. BUT THAT'S IT. I am boycotting all celebrations until I get back on the guest lists.
I once broke my big toe. When people asked how, I could only offer up, "Cinco de Mayo". I had no clue.
ReplyDeleteThese days? I just made a pb&j for a kid and have changed 3 poopy diapers for a kid that's not mine. Times have changed.
And wtf? Did the myspace pictures have captions like "Fun without Stacie", or "Look what you missed, Stacie!"? That's just rude. If I'd have gone out, I'd have called you. But, like you said, you'd have probably declined. And I'd probably have said, "That's cool. I'm actually quite tired." But we could have stayed on the phone and drank.
Eh come on over. We'll go in to the only mexican joint in town, eat some beef or chicken stuff with cheese on it and throw down a couple of margs.
ReplyDeleteHappy stinko de mayonnaise.
I'm just incredibly sad that we don't do that festival over here.
ReplyDeleteI'm not prepared, I've got chickenand a bottle of salsa, that might work?
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up.
ReplyDeleteNo plans for this chica ... got a house to clean and baby to care for.
Seems my Cinco de Mayo is the same as my Cinco de Cuatro. hehe
Ok - so as soon as I hit send I felt like an idiot.
ReplyDeleteMy last line should have read:
"Seems my Cinco de Mayo is the same as my Cuatro de Mayo"
Wow ... I can't even tell a joke correctly. Perhaps I need to head back to bed and start my day over.
Good grief!
I agree, since when did this become a celebration anyways? It's a freaking Tuesda, for God's sake. But I'd love a shot of tequila or a mojito, just to celebrate what other people celebrate.
ReplyDeleteCommenter Stacie: Does it mean anything to you that I read Cinco de Quatro and didn't even catch it?
ReplyDeleteMy Cinco de Mayo so far has been spent running to two different places miles apart to pay past due utility bills so I didn't get things shut off...and now I am broke...BROKE...for two weeks. Happy Effin' Cinco de Mayo.
I am trying to finish up the old craft room, cause I feel business coming on and I need to be prepared to earn some extra money!
My verification word: dusti...is it trying to tell me something? Like I need to clean up around here or something?
You are officially and permanently on my guest list.
ReplyDeleteViva la Margarita.
I haven't been on the guest list in years. It sucks and it does sting but I don't really want to go and get stupid drunk either. I just pulled out some ground beef and ground turkey, we're having tacos for dinner..woohoo. I might have a beer except I don't really like beer. I can't drink tequila cuz that's how I end up with a husband or two.
ReplyDeleteHave an unhappy Cinco De Mayo.
I'm sure they just felt that you have alot on your plate right now. But they should have at least invited you.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes a difference I don't do anything for this holiday anyhoo.
So Happy whatever to the rest of us. :) lol
Just catching up on blogs Stacie. Hope that you are doing well. I'll be at home too. No celebrations after the long road trip.
ReplyDeleteC'mon up to Canada, we don't celebrate Cinco De Mayo here!
ReplyDeleteIf you lived near me we would toooooooootally hang out! I would always invite you! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are indeed going to a hole in the wall mexican place for good foods and margarrrrrritas! Again, I'll have one for you.
(btw - the drink I had the other day for you was a Watermelon-tini)
Okay girl...you are always invited to party with me! Shame your friends! You should always get an invite regardless of "responsibilities"! So screw them and I saw open have a drink, chips and know that I am sending you thoughts of cheers from here!
ReplyDeleteIs it Cinco de Mayo? Damn...Guess I'll be making my own Margarita. For one of course! Happy 5th of May :)
ReplyDeleteUh, I'm still trying to figure out why we have to celebrate a rinky dink battle in MEXICO with FRANCE a very long time ago. This has....WHAT to do with the United STates???! And my kid is forced to celebrate this in her school why???? Hmmmm....I'm just not cool with this one.
ReplyDeleteSo, don't feel bad you aren't celebrating this faux "holiday" with no special plans. Now, my brother got in a fist fight back in the 3rd grade with some kid and I think it was like June 3rd or something--maybe you and I could go out for cocktails to celebrate that or something if it makes you feel better!
Screw the uninviters!!! They suck. And I'll bet their party was BORING without you!!! Yeah!
(Feel better yet???)
i didn't do anything either. i yelled at the kids. i yelled at the hubby. i cursed at my car. and i ordered pizza.
ReplyDeletesigh.
so...
c'mon over on friday. we'll go out and celebrate cinco de ocho!
Cool. I'm not alone. In about 2 minutes I will be sitting my butt in front of a television eating Chili Doritos.
ReplyDeleteAt least my snack is festive :)
When I was the first and only one of my friends to have kids I got kicked out of the loop. They assumed that I wouldn't be able to go. I only cried the first couple times and then I said f-you!
ReplyDeleteDoes chili cheese baked potatoes count as a "mexican fiesta"? No, alright...I'll have to go add a margarita to it to make it so. ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally missed it . . . I'm going to eat Mexican twice this week to make up for it . . .
ReplyDeleteWell, the Fifth could always be cleebrated by drinking a fifth & then you can have a holiday every month! It seems like a better idea to celebrate that than some fight that has nothing to do with us.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better I spent last night watching B Monkey run at his track meet. Then talking our new neighbor through all the stuff they need to do for the hot tub that came with their house. After that I spent the rest of the evening making sure B Monkey had a clean track uniform.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a rip roaring good time doesn't it?
HA! Omg, you're hilarious!
ReplyDeletesitting in front of the TV watching american idol, whats more to say. Thats celebrating!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, my husband and I said we'd do margaritas and mexican for a late lunch and got caught up in bullshit with kids, and sports and ex-spouse shit that all we got were 4 exhausted kids and the last 20 minutes of Idol.
ReplyDeleteBullshit. I even missed Adam's performance, and had to google it this morning.
Yeah, Happy Cinco do Mayo.
Ouch, that would hurt my feelings too.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is Cinco de Mayo anyway? Us Canadians are in the dark here.
I did get Mexican for lunch yesterday, maybe I was channeling an American?
:)
So that second picture was soooooo much better. LOL. Anyhoo, you were not alone on the couch. I was there with you in my living room too so it was just like we were partying together. Right????
