This evening... what to do without child...

Today, my daughter went on a day long and night-long sleepover. Oh my lord, she was so excited! Anyway, after I took her to the party, I had to figure out what to do with my extra time. When in the world have I had extra time to myself in the past year? Can't remember... Anyway, decided to go see a movie all by myself. What a revelation... I've never actually done that. I went to see Julie and Julia. It was a very affectionate look at Julia Child, her first cookbook, her relationships, and her twenty-first century blogger. I loved it. But there I was, having bought a medium sized popcorn, eating that popcorn all by myself, with a bottle of water. I came in when the credits were just beginning and the place was kind of packed, so I decided to sit up toward the front. During the entire show I felt like people were watching me eat that popcorn. Hey, I was in the front, anybody could see. After a while I decided to let them...
Did not finish the popcorn.
After the show, I decided to try something else all by myself. There is a great sushi place right next to the theatre. I went there and had a California roll, raw tuna appetizer and flying fish eggs. Oh, and of course tons of coffee. You must drink something if you're by yourself. ...or with someone. Anyway, having been seated in the corner, because I was alone, the management decided to seat a couple literally one foot away. I was privy to their entire conversation, whether I wanted to be or not. Can you say uncomfortable? Great sushi though! Loved it.
