On Monday, groundhog Punxsutawny Phil checked for his shadow as he does each year on Mimi's birthday...looks like winter'll stick around for six more weeks. I got a fun Skype-call from mi familia on Saturday, celebrating Mimi's birthday with tacos and margaritas!
Speaking of sticks, on Wednesday, we were summoned to a rooftop birthday shindig. In attendance was Tigger, a gi-huge-ant (it's a word!) pinata that we beat the crap out of with a stick. Sadly, a hanging light also fell victim to the stick.
the paper-mache'd beast
Jennifer, attempting to annihilate TiggerOn Friday, Pam (Rob's Mom) had a birthday, too - although, after repeated email and Skype attempts, we never did get a hold of her to sing...
On Saturday, in honor of a classmate's birthday, Rob and I headed to the roof for more shenanigans...instead of a pinata this time, there was a taco stand (no joke!). We'd intended to play beer-pong, official game of the T-bird West dorms, but there's a shortage of ping-pong balls in Mexico (I seriously couldn't make this up...this place is so weird), so we settled for my personal fave, flip-cup.
Trompo, a leg o' beef that's marinated and sliced, kebab-style from the spit, then further grilled like carne asada...soooo yummy
birthday boy Matt with our taco pro and ChrisYesterday was one of our roomie's birthdays. Unfortunately, the entire Thunderbird population was hard at work on an impossible Finance assignment, so no hilarity ensued...

rob should have to do a paper on the total worldwide estimated health care and property damage costs associated with pinatas. sounds like something mba students should do. might be part of the stimulus package... hmmm... if everyone had a pinata a day how many jobs would that be...
