You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold.

I'm not handy girl, but when I go to make a bowl of cereal because the thought of the onset of osteoporosis sometimes makes me get out of bed at night and chug straight from the carton, and I open the fridge and the milk I just bought is completely chunky, I can surmise that the fridge is broken. It was really gross; I spent the night cleaning up that disaster. I also set up my Pandora station, which really is the only reason I am blogging right now, so I can occupy ma. (U2--All I want is you is on right now. Reality bites, Wynona Rider so so sad over a breakup that she just lays in bed and smokes. Awesome.)

I haven't seen one person outside of work who I know since Saturday. Usually this would freak me out, but I am going to embrace the aloneness. Tomorrow I am going to do a first. I have to get up early to take my mom's boyfriend's mother's cat (yeah.) to the vet. So, I am getting up, putting on a pretty dress and going to breakfast all by myself. I have never gone to a restaurant alone before. I get nervous just waiting for someone for more than 5 minutes. So, I am facing it, Holly Golightly style. Here's a pretty picture of my love, Audrey:





Really, Pandora has changed my life. Listen to Damien Rice. And Mia and Jonah: Smile. These songs/artists that I have just met have made me so happy and so sad.

I've done some self-dining before. I find it oddly exhilarating. Then again, I'm quite strange.

I used to hate eating alone - until I realized that there's no awkward moment where you wonder how the bill is being split or who is paying... AND you don't have somebody directly across from you who will likely see you eating, whether on purpose or not...

I'll just pretend you took your gloves off to eat the bacon... =)
