Happy Cinco de Mayo

 
 
 
 

There was a big celebration at Sammie's preschool today for Cinco de Mayo. The De Anda family who own several local taquerias (and show horses as well) came and brought taco lunch for all the kids and teachers. I helped set up the tables and they also had a pinata. The highlight of the day was the show horses who danced and pranced around for the kids to see. At the end of the show, they were putting the horses back into the trailer and I brought Sammie over to see the trailer and the horses. I heard them talking in Spanish saying to each other, "Look at that little girl, look at her boots, look at her horse." (she had a stuffed horse in her hand) They asked if she wanted to sit on the horse and she said, "oh, yes!!!" so they put her up on Diego the horse and I took her picture. She was thrilled! Those were gorgeous horses.

I am a little late on this post because I told you to check back in a few days to see how much money I made at the garage sale at the Scrappin' table and that was 2 weeks ago so here is your long awaited update... I made about $300 in store credit which I have been having fun spending! I got the "Clip it up" system and I LOVE it! I will post some pics in my next blog entry so you can see how fabulous it is. I am new in the blogging world and don't know how to "link" things yet so what I will do is send these pics to Michelle L.,the owner of the Scrappin' Table, because she is also my friend and then you can go onto the Scrappin Table link on my blog and see them there if you want to see them sooner than my "few days" until I post again. She will probably put them on her blog. The clip it up is AMAZING. I can't believe how much stuff fits on it and if you know me, you know how much scrapbook stuff I have and ther is STILL room on it. ( I just hope I don't BREAK it.) I broke my closet 3 times because there was "still room" on the rod to hang more clothes.. I guess I just don't learn... If there is space then I will fill it up! Anyway.. I will fill up my clip it up and hope that I will be more productive in my scrapping because I can see everything I have so easily.

Now, the 3rd important thing to share today is the DURAN DURAN concert from last night. OMG! It was fantastic! A big thank you and a hug to my friend Christine who surpised me and treated me to the ticket so we could go to the show together! She has been a fan since she was 11 and I have always enjoyed their music as well. They were great in concert. It was fun to see them live and to "relive" all my favorite 80's songs too. They played a nice mix of their new and old songs. They played at the NOKIA theatre in LA and we went with her sweet friend Lisa too. She lives in Hollywood ( right next to the Hollywood sign which I proudly snapped a pic of) and knew of a fantastic Italian restaurant to have dinner. It was super yummy! It was fun to meet some of Christine's other Duranie friends as well. I felt like a teenager again going to a concert even though the crowd was mostly my age. ( some younger, some older)
We got home really late and were quite exhausted. Poor Christine had to work today. She was really tired! ( Too tired to send me the pics tonight so check her blog tomorrow for some good Duran pics!)
