Cinco de Mayo...

I haven't figured it out yet...Why is Cinco de Mayo such a big thing this year?  It seems like everyone is talking about it a lot more than they were last year.  I think a lot of people find it a good time to eat Mexican food and drink margaritas...hey, I can live with that!  I won't argue with that reason!  It seems like it's became more commercialized this year, where as the first time I knew about Cinco de Mayo was roughly 10 years ago in Spanish class...I think it was only a big deal in Spanish class at that time.  So, how did I celebrate it this year? ... I took salsa to our Cinco de Mayo Nacho carry-in today at work.  I guess I could have went and had a margarita at Buddy's, but it wouldn't quite be the same as going and having an "authentic" one!

I was happy that I was able to get a few sunset pictures and a few others...

(It rained, actually it poured, this evening and a rainbow followed the shower, so I snapped a picture of it.)

(The sky had just a little bit of color to it, but the clouds were neat...puffy and a slight peach tint to them.)

(Just as the sun was ready to disappear beyond the horizon it looked as if the sky was ablaze!)

(I had stepped into the boiler room of the apartments to see if the plumber had fixed the leak I had discovered the other day and noticed this window.  I like the little panes in the window, so I took a picture of the window and its dirty little panes.)

(This is a picture of the clouds in the southeastern sky.  I like the blue sky, peach clouds, darker-puffier clouds and the power lines running through the bottom of it.)

I'm starting to get anxious for the high school graduation receptions to get here already! I took three of the senior's pictures this year and on my drive home Sunday I had an idea for a graduation gift for them.  I worked a little of my magic, placed an order, it arrived and now I'm ready to give them their presents...they turned out neat! I also worked my magic with some of the prom pictures I took too.  I'll post some of the pictures of what I did once the presents have been delivered.

While writing my post tonight I've been highly entertained by a local radio station I'm listening to.  They've been playing a variety of new and old...and most of it I like! It's amazing what you hear on this station late at night.

Well...It's time for me to crash for the night.  Tomorrow's FINALLY FRIDAY! It seems like this week has lasted forever and three days! It doesn't look like my weekend is going to be calm whatsoever!  Tomorrow after work I'm going to order a new pair of jeans (come to find out they carry every size but tall and wide), pick up a few things, head off to deliver some pictures, stop by to check out the church during my uncle's wedding rehearsal, pick up my shorts from Meema's house, come back to town and soak in some music at Buddy's.  Saturday is my uncle's wedding (which I will be photographer at) and Sunday is Mother's Day...no rest this weekend!
