Well, none of us fit that category but unless we've shrunk since all of us turned 39 (and I can't officially say that Jill doesn't actually fit that category...Alicia does for sure, she can be in the 20-29 category lol) I think the 5'4" is probably the best average out there. I'd always heard 5'4-5'5.
@eandesmom You made my day thinking i'm still in my 20's! I'm 31
and 5'4"
Yay for being average!

@eandesmom @rentayenta and
@jedijill started singing DH's absolute favorite song by Alanis Morissitte "Ironic" and totally joined in with the girls!
Now this was the only downside of the evening. We arrived at 6PM, we ordered fairly soon after we sat down, but it wasn’t until 7PM that our first course was served. I think because there was a choice for the first course, they couldn’t pre-prep anything in the kitchen, so that delayed our dinner. Here was the first glitch. Because it took so long for our dinner to arrive the wine that they served us with the first course was running low in my glass, so I asked for more wine here. Keep in mind that we had some wine in the Villa, and I did walk over to the restaurant with a red solo cup.
Even though it was a bit of a wait, I think everyone enjoyed themselves with all the company (and extra glass of wine!
)
The first course arrived, I ordered the scallops and they were cooked to perfection.
Loved the scallops! So glad I picked this.
OH! And remember the convo that
@rentayenta was having with Fran. "There should be no 'Or' on the menu. It should be 'And'"
The other choice was a fresh pasta with a sauce of Cherry Tomatoes. I was told that this was very good as well.
@rentayenta let me have a bite and as good as it was, i'm so glad I didn't order it. It was a surprisingly large portion that would have filled me up immediately!
Of course the blue cheese is always a hit with me!
The blue cheese was delicious!
Fran suggested that I order the mushroom soup. She ordered a mushroom soup and an Onion soup. I started off with the mushroom soup, but I only ate a few bites. I traded with Fran for the Onion Soup, and I actually liked that one better, however, I was starting to get kind of full, so I only ate a few bites of this one too, trying to save some room for the main course.
This was SO GOOD! I had the onion soup but I think I stole a bite, yet again, from Jenny. And I think Leonard ended up stealing some of Fran's soup when she left to use the restroom!
First Naked Jim, then it was all about Jim’s Balls.
Also, not sure if you remember all the Bison jokes DH and Jim were throwing out
Now I lucked out and got two sugar light sabers with mine. Everyone else only got one.
Also, I missed seeing Chef Marcel
Jenny and I were in the restroom
Now here’s when things get super fuzzy. I know by this point it was obvious that I had too much wine and too much detoxification to be able to walk back to the hotel. Well to get up out of my chair and even walk out of the hotel or even the restaurant. Fran and I agreed that she would hang out and take care of the bill while I rode back to the hotel with the DIS ladies. Thank god there aren’t pictures! At least I hope this is not where they all start popping out!
Now correct me if I’m wrong on any of this because this is the fuzzy wuzzy part. Jenny and Jill literally picked me up and carried me out of the restaurant while I believe that Cynthia went ahead to hail us a cab. I remember the first step because my knees literally buckled underneath me and if they hadn’t been holding me with each one with an arm under each of my shoulders, I would have been a puddle on the floor. They got me into the cab with some amount of difficulty. And that concludes my recollections for the night.
That's what friends are for! To allow you to let go and have fun on your birthday. And yeah, there was no way you could have made the walk back to the room. The rest of the group had a fun walk back though!
I know that Fran told me to remember to take my glasses off before climbing into bed. I did wake up in my bed and wasn’t wearing the clothes that I had on that night, so I had that going for me.
I had no sign of a hangover
That is pretty amazing. Seriously, I think I would have been seeing the toilet all night. So a huge
from me!

@Leshaface and I!
Do it!
