A Historic Day!

This weekend I was left all alone...

The kids were with Dave all week, and

Nick was on a bike trip to Milwaukee with his Dad to visit Junior.

I cut the grass, weed whipped, pulled weeds, folded clothes

and played some MarioKart on our Wii.

Then my tummy started growling. It was lunch time and I needed to eat.

Hmmm... what sounds good?

I decided to go to the movies (by myself) and have some popcorn to fill me up.

Popcorn is healthy... well, at least before they pour on the butter and before I load it with salt.

I have never went to the movies by myself. I always felt like people would look at me funny

for going to the movies alone. What movie did I go see? The Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Yup, you read right, and I thought it was great!

After making history by going to a movie by myself, I went home, played MarioKart a little more,

and figured I should run to Menards to pick up a longer garden hose and some nozzles for our water spickets. I was starting to get hungry again, and had no interest in making myself dinner.

Fast food didn't sound good, so I decided to make the historic day, even more historic.

Today was also my first day going to a sit-down restaurant (with a waitress) and eat by myself.

Once again, I felt funny! Like people would be wondering - Why is she eating by herself?

Doesn't she have friends or family who she could be eating with.

I tell myself some pretty lame stories.

I gotta say, I've never been in and out of AppleBees within 35 minutes before.

A historic day with breaking my own rules twice,

and not letting my stories stop me,

from being okay by myself.
