Don Chilitos

Birthday dinner with the fam last night. Ilenia came with me. We went to Don Chilitos, a Messycan restauraunt in Shawnee, but actually more like a cafeteria... mexi-style. Then there's a big vat of chips and a smaller one of sopapillas that you retrieve yourself but you can get as much as you want. Sopapillas replaced my birthday cake, but it didn't have any candles.


My sister and Spencer gave me $50 and one of Spence's homemade birthday cards. I asked them for money instead of gifts so his card was all about how unhappy this makes, for example, a "blowout", or noisemaker:

The noisemaker said something like "I owe you no favors since you chose money over merriment and laughter"

My dad, stepmom, and two stepsisters got me the following plain shirts:

• white
• white
• orange
• blue

And my dad said they'll get me a new bike. Also, my Uncle Bing got me a KU National Champions t-shirt. He told me to wear it with pride. Monday night ... well, thats another blog. Lets just say... nevermind we wont say anything.

Ilenia was pretty sick still so we didn't stay long after dinner, but she got to meet Uncle Tommy, Uncle Bing, and Aunt Tutti. And ate some brown guac.
