so here it is, the last day of march
and i just found out that march is national sleep month
had i known i would have fully celebrated
each and every day
like a long fiesta with long siestas
and i will do my best to make up for it today
who am i not to honor a holiday?

went out on taco tuesday
for a
family fiesta
all tacos were just one dollar
and
when we got the menu
we saw
the new ‘surprise filling’ option
kind of scary and intriguing at the same time
we asked our server as instructed
“what’s it going to be today?”
but
alas
it wasn’t available
they ran out of it
must have been very popular
but
couldn’t they have
just combined things
and
made one up?
how would we know the difference?
raisins, mashed potatoes, and green jello?
or
watermelon rinds, blue cheese, and kit-kat bars?
or
whatever they found in the kitchen?
if there were mexican fortune cookies
i expect that mine would have read:

today
i celebrate
as
each of those numerals
represent something
important to me
my number of years on earth
my number of daughters
my number of grand babies
my number of posts
my number of dog years on earth
ah, but
which is which?
