WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE???

Well, clearly, they are Tonya and Lisa's new best friends. Isn't this a great shot for the Christmas Card??

Seriously? Lisa and I celebrated my b-day Friday night with a trip downtown, some new best friends, a long cab ride home, and an egg sammie. Here's how it all went down...

Friday afternoon, Bentley picked me up for our "Tinis and Toes" appointment at Primp Salon Bar What a cool joint! It's a full service salon, totally funky, and a full service bar to boot! We had a great time getting our pedi's on, and having a few drinks to get the afternoon off to a good start! I even got my toes painted purple for the upcoming PIRATE football season! Check out the ladies of luxury...

From there, we decided to hit Raleigh's newest hotspot - SOLAS
Believe the hype folks - it IS all it's cracked up to be! We seriously thought we were in Miami instead of some rooftop on Glenwood! The peeps are hot, and the drinks are yummy. So yummy in fact, that we somehow forgot to order any dinner. See below. It always starts with the wine, but then it moves to shots and then ends with random folks that you ask to be in group pictures with you??!!!?! by the way, those folks were really cool and we can't wait to see them again.

WHEEEW! I love the white wine!

There should be some rule against saying, "Come on, just one more shot..." after the fifth time!

We somehow managed to stagger out of the place after we had been there through a waitstaff changeover and were conviced that Kenny Chesney really wasn't showing up that night. (See, Bentley overheard one of the guys with the fancy earpieces saying he had room for 3 more for Chesney - now, that translation is a little questionable being that we didn't even know our names, much less Kenny Chesney's)

This nice cabbie took us all the way up to Lisa and Stephen's house, dropped us off and was nice enough to even call the next morning to let us know we left Lisa's cell phone in his cab! Stephen put Baby to bed and made the b-day girl a nice egg sandwich to cap the night off! Hats off to you Stephen for putting up with the likes of us! I owe you one!!

A MAD SHOUT OUT to Lisa and Stephen Bentley for making my b-day so freaking awesome! I love you guys and can't wait to party up with ya'll in Charlotte this weekend for ECU/ VT!
