Day 29: The Night of Your 21st Birthday

We-ell….

By most peoples’ standards, it was fairly tame. But hey, I had a blast! 

I was dating someone at the time who was not a drinker, & he reluctantly released me to a few friends & a night on the town. 

We started on the Cumberland Strip, like any 21 year old with any sense. I’m not entirely sure who all was there, but I do remember putting salt INTO my tequila shot & staring, mesmerized, as it fizzed. I had obviously had more than one shot prior, with salt where it’s SUPPOSED to go, on your wrist. And I don’t remember what else. But I do remember the tequila. I think we had dinner at Sunspot? Then I remember wanting to go foam dancing & being gently coaxed from that decision with promise of another bar. I’m thinking O’Charleys? It used to be a happenin’ little joint. I can only partially blame my memory loss on alcohol, this was many moons ago. I *think* that was as much bar hopping as we did, & headed back to a house in Sequoyah Hills, where one of my friends was house sitting. There was a hot tub, which I briefly visited with a..wine cooler?? Bottle of wine?? Not sure. Then I remembered I hate hot tubs, probably due to my high blood pressure. I think they made me take a cold shower before I went to bed…I don’t think I ever got sick. Honestly, I couldn’t tell you. But I do know I had a great time! 

 I am purposely not naming names here, because they are some of the finest moms I know these days & no way would I tarnish their reputation! And no, not a one was Lisa, she was living in Missouri.
