It's Merm-ela Derb-Day, & the Mint Julep is Chilling in the Fridge; Meanwhile, Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo and I Went Out with a Friend to Bodega Taco Bar

Yesterday was one of those weird spring days where the sun was out, blue skies, the occasional cloud, yet rain showers. I kept wondering where the rain showers were coming from. It was another terrible day for grading, but I did get things prepped for Monday's Celebration of Teachers and Teaching and I finally arrange my payment strategy for the siding, as well as met with my financial advisor. Lawn is mowed, too, as well as a birthday cake made.

But today is for grilling salmon and steak, and getting ready for the two-minute horse race....well, the bourbon.

Bodega Taco Bar in Fairfield is delicious. Packed. Loved. Crowded, especially on Cinco de Mayo, but worth the wait (not too bad - just 15 minutes). And I had a blood-orange margarita which was good...more grapefruit than orange, but I'd order it again. 

Now I'm getting nervous about grades...I think I can get a big chunk done this morning, but I don't want them overhanging my head for the afternoon/evening party, nor do I wand a hangover from that same party. 

Okay, I need to weed whack, too. It will all get done. It always does.
