One Is The Magic Number

I'm sitting in my favorite Thai restaurant having lunch. I love eating in quiet restaurants alone. It's relaxing. Don't be fooled, now! I'm not this pillar of independence. LOL Chile, I still get nervous when changing my hair without Rain's (my sister) approval and sometimes, presence. And I change my hair monthly. But I have been doing more things on my own. This year I started eating alone & going to the movies alone.

My independent ventures do have conditions, however. LOL

Dining Alone: Only in small quiet restaurants at lunch time. During lunch, there are sure to be other Parties of One in the house, leaving me feeling less looser-ish. If saying that alone makes me looser-ish, so what! Kiss my grits! LOL I've only dined at dinner time alone once at a hibachi/sushi restaurant that was awful! Just gross! I shoulda known it wasn't a good choice when I was the second person to walk through the door the entire time. That was actually my first single dining experience. I was on the phone with my friend, Lanie, making this decision. Ever the supportive BFF, she was reassuring me and telling me how wonderful I am to be able to do it and to call her back if I need her. LOL Love that girl.

I'd consider myself a Party of One on an intermediate level. I am in no way a pro. U will not catch this here girl @ any big restaurants! No ma'am! Don't even think of searching my pearly whites at a large popular place like Friday's alone. Lost cause, Baby.

Movies: I've only done this twice. There's only 1 condition when going to the movies. Look fierce! And I mean fantabulous! You're taking yourself on a date! Take out your Sunday's best and spray-starch that sucker good! Shine ya shoes and buff your nails! It feels good!! Try it!

There's only one other customer here right now. He's a Party of One that insists his friend is on his way. Ok, bud! I'm sure! Just say "One Please" And enjoy your meal! Yes, I know the waitress is adorable but I doubt she cares if you're alone! Heck, she looks repulsed that your flirting with her. LOL I bet the poor chile is hoping this mystery "friend" doesn't show so he can leave her establishment. LOL poor thing. He's giving us Party of Ones a bad name! People already think we're unfortunate!

Ok, time to back to work. Hopefully I'll have time to upload this and post it.

Bon Appétit!
