Lick you up at 6

A girls night on the town was well over due.

In fact, I don't think we've actually done one since my birthday,

LAST FEBRUARY!!!

I know!!! 

 What is wrong with us?!?!?

I mean, we've had many 'couples' nights and quite a few 'garage girls nights', but there is nothing like getting all gussied up and hitting the pavement with your entourage of gals in heels.

Lisa's upcoming birthday was a very good reason to celebrate......

and let me tell you!!!!

Celebrate is what we did!!!

I could predict the way the evening would go since I had already started the day with one of those messed up texts.

The kind that the smart phone over rides what you really wanted to say...

I texted Lisa that afternoon with the GNO deets:

"Hey girl!!!  So excited for tonight!  It's gonna be waaaay freakin' fun.

I will lick you up at 6"

"Hi, It's me again.....

I meant that I will PICK you up at 6!!! 
 I don't think we need to be licking each other.  

Stupid phone!"

So as you can see.....we were well on our way with the giggles and demented minds!

We all love to try new venues, and since the Zy Restaurant was a new one for all of us, I didn't hesitate to make the rez for 7:15.

It's downtown location (a block away from the evenings destined bar) was an added bonus!!!!

The birthday girl was looking gorgeous and radiant as usual.

The restaurant had a nice wine list that accommodated us sharing a couple bottles of yummy red.

We paired our drinks with a cheese selection.

Every girl's tastes were different as to what their favorite flavor was.

It was a great starter to our wonderful meals.

(introducing all of the lovely ladies of the evening:

Lynsie, Paula, Carrie, Lisa, and you know who)

 We chose to have a cup of french pressed coffee as our dessert.

The service was tops, and  the company was divine.

Zy Restaurant.....give it try.

ROUND 2

DING DING DING!

Our next gathering hoorah for the evening was scheduled to be at The Keys on Main which was exactly one block away from the Zy.  The beautiful weather allowed us to walk to the bar.....but NOT without a stop along the way.

KUTV News was broadcasting live with the city streets as it's backdrop.

Paula texted Jay D to tell him to watch the news to see if we were on it....

We weren't very hopeful because we couldn't see ourselves [on the big screen] standing behind Brian Mullahy as he read the teleprompter.

We proceeded to dance like freaks...

.ie:  the running man, the roger rabbit, and swinging an invisible rope to lasso the girls and pull them in....that one was my move!

We also noticed a fuzzy thing on Brian Mullahy's jacket.  It was on the left side on top of his shoulder pad. It was driving us nuts, so we pretended to be picking it off of him secretly.

Lisa commented on what dorks we all are because nobody is going to be home on a Saturday night watching the stupid news!!!!

Well, what do ya know?!?!?

Jay D said he saw us, and Paula's son was wondering what she was doing staring at him through the TV.

Lisa got a text from Odum asking, 

"was that you and Jolie on the news?"

So the moral of the story is:

You are never alone.....

someone is always watching, so be good for goodness sake!

Once we were in the piano bar and the music was running through our veins, we chose to celebrate Lisa's birthday by drinking her birthday cake!

These little lovelies tasted like chocolate cake....well, kind of.

Not really, but we shot them down our throats anyway.

Which helped start the picture extravaganza love fest :)

After many drinks, shaking our money makers, and singing songs to each other (I think the above picture is "touching hands" by Neil Diamond), we called upon our men to pick our drunk asses up and safely drive us home.

Our menz.....

the pimps in our ride.

(boy Jay....that nose hair wax really came in handy!)

Awe :) Lyns  lubs her hubs 

And the rest of us showed our D.D. appreciation to Jay too.

I LOVE this picture!!!

Jay looks so happy :)

I'm not sure if it was the wine, the beers, the cake shots or the copper camel shots that made me say,

"OH! OH! Take our picture while I grab balls!"

Randy didn't mind so much.....

We considered it RD's taxi cab payment.

It was an evening of necessity for all of us.

I hope that I can speak for everyone when I say that the 12 hour, next day hangover was worth every minute of the good time put into it!

Happy Birthday Lisa my sweet friend.

How wonderful life is with you in the world :)
