to see a movie BY MYSELF this weekend. I'm going to the crappy local theater (that KJ refuses to step foot near) sometime on Sat to see Knocked-Up (probably an extreme girl-movie that again, my husband will probably not step foot near. We can rent them, but asking him to commit to a theater seat that he's paid $83 {you all know like I do that the movies are waaayyyy over-price} for and no promise of action but the threat of a birth scene...yeah, not happening.). I'm considering it an adventure. It's been a minute since I went to the movies by myself. In fact if I think back, I don't know if I ever have, I think so, but maybe my intent to do so was so strong it overtook my memory...
Anywho, I tried to think of someone I know here that may want to go on my little outing with me. Ummm, the girl from the gym who gave me her number (twice) who I never called and haven't seen in months (still trying to cancel that membership...), if I could remember her name or find her number... maybe. Ummm, my neighbor who has 3 kids under the age of 5 and whose husband has been away for 2 weeks and is returning this weekend....she's probably going to be busy. Ummm, 65 yr old Ms. Mary who lives at the end of the street and is really friendly, who before we went out of town told me she wasn't feeling well and I still haven't made it 4 houses over 5 days later to check on her...don't know if this movie will be her thing (but if Menopause ever comes to town, she's my girl). And just for the record: I'm going to check on her tonight. There is the girl at the corner of our subdivision whom I'm obsessed with her home improvement efforts (she's doing amazing things in her yard and I confess: last night she left her front door open and I drove by 3 times to see what she's putting up to coordinate with her lovely living room wall color...), but it'd be hard to introduce myself without seeming psycho... So I resolved that I'm going by myself. I like me, and know that I'll be great company at the movie. Plus, I never hog all the popcorn... ;-)
Happy Thursday

"Knocked Up" is really good. Quite graphic but funny. I think KJ probably would have liked it.
Didnt you used to go to the movies by yourself sometimes?? I always thought that was so grown. Jon will do that too. I am a big chicken and have never done that. This is also coming from the girl who will not eat in a restaraunt alone:)Maybe one day I will have dinner and a movie SOLO, what an accomplishment!!!
Well, I am jealous you Roz and Liz because I have to go solo ALL OF THE TIME. It really sucks. Just to forewarn you. The only things that should be done solo are shopping and driving.
