Piñatas, Cinco de Mayo, Fiesta ideas, and more!

[4 May 2009 | By | 2 Comments | 5,236 views ]

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, …which I understand is really celebrated more here in the US than in our neighboring Mexico, but it’s a lovely little holiday which is a great excuse for drinking margaritas and hanging out with your friends… If the weather is nice tomorrow, why not invite a few friends over, and celebrate!

    we don’t celebrate that over here in the UK – but it looks fun! Maybe I’ll do something anyway :)

    Hey, there. couldn’t send you a DM, so I thought I’d just comment here. But I have too much verbiage. Nice site, though!

    If you’d like to follow me in twitter, I will send you some DMs, or you could give me your email addy?

    thanks!
