¡Cinco de Mayo!

¡Hola y feliz cinco de mayo! (Translation: Hello and happy Cinco de Mayo!).

So I caved today. I went to Starbucks. Haven't been there since Sunday, so it was a good run. I decided to go in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Most people drink booze, I drink mochas.

Let it rain. I have no clue how this is going to work with Kati's graduation. She says wear a sundress. Now, I'm screwed either way. If I wear a sundress and it rains, I'll be cold and wet. If I wear a sundress and it doesn't rain I'll be sunburnt. Lose-lose situation. Oh well... it will still be a blast! I can't believe my little sister is graduating from college!

Finally all is right in the world. Scott (aka Evil Shrek) has finally been voted off of American Idol. I can sleep well at night now. I really don't know how he's lasted this long, but thank God for small miracles.

The country radio station down here is doing something really cool. Tony and Kris (the dj's) are embedded with our Marines in Iraq. They've been broadcasting from there all week - talking to the Marines, giving them messages from family back here and letting them send messages home. It's really cool to hear their stories and sacrifices. They interviewed one of the generals on the base that they're staying at and he said the average age of the Marines over there is 24. That's my age! I can't even imagine doing that. I seriously have so much respect for our Marines! I can't believe that my boy was over there either! Then they interviewed this lady about the camel spiders. Now, we all know that I have a little case of arachnophobia, but these things are just freaky. She said she's seen ones the size of her hand and that if/when they bite you, it requires STITCHES. Yuck!

That's about it from here. Today is going to be pretty busy with the packing I have to do. Plus I have to run rehearsal and make sure my choir is all set to go without me on Sunday. And, of course, "ER" is on tonight! Yeah!!!

Have a wonderful day!
