Cumpleaños... Dominican Style...

born on an island
of platano-eating men
grows older with me

Today, in Palm Beach County, the King of Spain turned 23 years old. We had a small intimate party with family and friends in the evening that primarily consisted of dinner and cake... as well as a partial viewing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Encore. He had not seen it before.

For his birthday, I picked him up a cute religious Mexican birthday card with the Virgin of Guadeloupe on it, as well as a bottle of Citron Grey Goose and Grand Marnier... Cosmopolitans are his new favorite drink. Poor thing needs to learn to sip his drink, rather than chug.

Dinner consisted of home-made pizza and chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes. It was very good, but it's too bad it didn't stay inside the King of Spain for longer than an hour...

I had to work today, so I couldn't spend the entire day with him as I would have liked, but someone has got to pay my school loan, and that someone is me unfortunately. I had to get there early because they closed the Block at 7:00 pm last nite because of the hurricane and I had to make sure that everything was copesetic. Things were pretty good, except the main register didn't turn back on.

My day was littered with special guests. The loss prevention guy came in to make sure there were no "problems". Bryan, my co-worker, got nervous because at his last job, every time LP came someone got the ax. I told him Al has nothing better to do than visit us. I also met my new DL. He's really cool. I think that we're gonna get along good. He's former Military, and ya'll know how I like guns and ammo...

There's a problem tho... about halfway thru the work day, my ankle started to hurt... I'm writing this in my bed with the King of Spain draped over me, and it's still not right. I don't know what I'm going to do... Maybe it's too early for me to be on my feet like this, I mean I do stand up all day long and run around like a chicken with my head cut off. I need to find a desk job.

Thank you for calling Chulo-mundo, Could you please hold?
