So it is Saturday and I am back at home from my date with myself. Yep I wrote that correctly, I am dating myself. If you saw the youtube clip before reading this, aside from the humor, it was informative (at least for me). I talk a good game to everybody about how I am happy and just concentrating on me, but sometimes it gets hard and today is one of those days. I had to turn lemons into lemonade. I got out of bed, turned the TV off since it is a "no TV day" (will post about later) and commence to cleaning my room and my bathroom (remember that I live with my aunt, so those are the only areas I use). Cleaning was an ALL DAY (well 3 hours) job, and after that I gave myself an "in-home" spa treatment. After the spa, I did my hair like I went to a stylist and applied makeup to my face. Then I put a fly but casual outfit (you know, to look like I really did not try to dress up, but it just looked like I did) and decided to go see a movie, have a drink afterward, and grab a bite to eat. Now this is nothing new, I am not afraid and actually enjoy doing things by myself. However I do not do them on the weekends during "date hours". Nevertheless it was enjoyable and I am planning on have a "date night" with myself once a week or once every other week. I also purposely limited my conversations with female friends today because I know they would have wanted to join me and:
- It would have defeated the purpose of going on a date with myself.
- It would have turned into a girls night out which would have included talking about men and how much more fun it would have been if men were with us.
- They would have gotten on my nerves checking men out, or complaining and whining about couples being mushy or just because they see a couple.
Anyway, the movie "Babymama" was great! 2 thumbs up! Went to a bar and had 2 Lemon drop martinis, and then to Chili's and got a to-go order. Now I am at home fulled and a little buzzed (drunk 2 glasses of wine with my food). To some this may seem pitiful, but actually it made me feel better. I have to practice what I preach!! Yesterday I went to Borders and spent 2 hours there having a blast with all the books (again I am an undercover nerd! LOL) and today I took myself to the movies and out to eat. So I should be sufficient until next weekend.
Next week: Go to a Jazz club!!!

I'm feeling you on that. I used to do stuff like that all the time but for whatever reason I just stopped. Maybe I should start again, sounds like you had a blast. And there's no need to be undercover about your nerdiness, flaunt it!
I dated myself for a couple months last year... wasnt trying to be in a relationship... but wasnt trying to club all the time... and I actually love spending time with myself both in and outside of the crib.
Good for you girlie...
Thanks. I think that we get so caught up in life (and all the issues that come with it) that we forget to just concentrate on ourselves.
