I just had perhaps the most bizarre, out of control, craziest birthday of my life! I did something so ridiculous, so outrageous, so out of character, and so out of my “age range” that I am still mentally recovering from it.
I RENTED A CHIVA, also known as a party bus.

Now I have to preface this a little bit. There’s a reason that something this ridiculous happened and I’m not going to take total blame. No way!
This is the sequence of events. You can make up your own mind. But I’m sure you’ll side with me in clearly seeing I wasn’t at fault.
Earlier in the month, I was at a birthday celebration with some Ecuadorian friends. We went out for breakfast to Casa Rosada in Manta. By 10 a.m. we were back at the birthday girl’s home, drinking Baileys Salted Caramel Liquor, and eating birthday cake with extremely thick, sugary aqua and purple colored icing. (Breakfast of champions, indeed.)
