The End of the World as We Know it
I’ve been hearing a ton about the world apparently ending tomorrow and started to feel some type of way that no one in church last Sunday felt the need to warn me.
So in obvious Alicia fashion, I googled.
According to a gentleman by the name of Harold Camping, the world is going to end tomorrow. And people actually beleive him.

And the only thing I had in my refridgerator that took the least amount of effort and thought process to cook was asparagus.

Cinco de Mayo
Today is the 5th of May, which also happens to coincide with Cinco de Mayo AKA the day that all the Mexican restaurants in the world are packed with gringos wanting to celebrate the Mexican holiday and take tequila shots for no apparent reason. Little do they (and I) know, Cinco de Mayo is not really a major Mexican holiday…
According to history.com, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican...
