The Thursday Thirteen – 05/04/2017

Are you ready to shake your maracas? I know, I know, that sounds a little dirty. What I really mean, is are you ready for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow? It’s finally on a Friday y’all, which I think is more than a reason to celebrate. Also, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love wearing a giant sombrero and singing ay ya ya yai? The beer, salsa, and copious amounts of guacamole sure don’t hurt either. Oh, and don’t forget, Breakfast Burrito Green Chile Enchiladas are the perfect hangover food.
