First, Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!! I bet you don't know why Cinco de Mayo is really celebrated, so I'm going to encourage each of you to at least Google it and find out why. Yeah, it's fun to have an excuse to eat Mexican food and have a margarita but I think everyone should learn a little bit about history. =) {Thanks to Mrs. Muffins' post, I am now craving some Mexican food!} Also, Cinco de Mayo means that mother's day is literally around the corner, my mom's birthday is 6 days away, my MIL's birthday is 12 days away, my parents' anniversary is 23 days away, and my uncle's birthday is just 4 days after that. Whew! May is such a busy month!!! Not to mention I'm probably going to be moving into a new house this month. And, I need to mail gifts and cards and I have no stinkin' clue where the nearest post office is! Maybe I'll settle for UPS at the PX?

Now, I have a funny story for you. I have to preface the story with this, though: I am new to this Army wife thing and I have never, ever lived on post. 

Yesterday, Joe didn't get off early like he has been. So, we met up at the PX to grab some dinner. I left the hotel to walk to the PX at like 1645. As I was walking, I heard the daily retreat music being played. As I was walking by the main building of the post, I hear a really really loud BANG!!!! I swear to you, I jumped about 3 feet in the air and yelled HOLY $H!#!!! I totally laughed at myself because I'm sure I looked like a complete idiot to everyone who knew what was going on. I looked over to my left, and whaddya know, they're lowering the flag...which is next to this really big gun/cannon thing. [Joe told me what is was but I already forgot.] Then, everyone stops their cars and alllll the Soldiers get out and salute the flag. I know that as a civilian, I really don't have to stop, but I did anyway just because I didn't want to look out of place. Oooooh, good times. =)

Now, I would like to get your opinion on something.

I have been thinking about creating either a Facebook page or Twitter page for my blog. Just so that when I'm not blogging y'all can keep up with me. And so I don't have to send/receive to everyone on Facebook. I don't have any knowledge whatsoever about Twitter, so I don't know what to think about that. So, if I were to create one of these pages, would you 'like' or follow them? Do you think it's a good idea? If so, which one should I do? Or should I do both? Thanks in advance for your input!!


Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

I really want some pico de gallo!!!!
