That’s right. **psycat** has finally decided to leave me, for another woman no less. You see, her sister is getting married, so she will be in New Jersey for FOUR DAYS! We’ve only been apart from each other two times before, and it was only for one night each. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself. So, I figured you guys could keep me busy by telling me how you’re going to spend _your_ Cinco de Mayo. I’ll no doubt be sitting at home, moping. 😉 ---

I’m going to be planted in front of the TV, watching the Kentucky Derby. You can take the girl out of KY, but you can’t take the Kentucky out of the girl… ---

I was planning on going to the Cinco de Mayo festival here in Denver, but the snow still hasn’t let up. I think I’ll drink a few Cerveza at home instead! 😃 ---

I’m going to the annual Murfreesboro Tennessee Jazz Festival on the public square. It’s alway fun. Good food. **Great music**! And a parade with antique autos. Also, our annual Dog Show. Lots o’ fun! And free, too! ---

On Cinco de Mayo,in honor of the noble battle fought by my ancestors, I will do as my people do best… Go to see The Mummy Returns. Eat a whole lotta popcorn.
