Single with nothing to do for the weekend (the evening) ?

Often, as a single, we find ourselves with nothing to do for the weekend (or weekend evening).  Possible our other single friends are out on a date, or our couple friends, have plans with other couples.

Why not, take this opportunity, to treat yourself to a dinner and a movie.  This could be at home, or it could even be out.

Many folks do not like to go out alone.  Try it; it's not that hard.  Think about somewhere you like to eat at, that maybe you haven't been for awhile.  Then treat yourself to a date !  There are many things out there we might not like to do, but we have to.  Why not make this one of them ... Because it is for you.

Tonight, I'm staying in.  My biggest problem is not that I won't go out by myself, it's that I give myself excuses of things I need to do around the house (like I'm writing this now). 

However tonight, I am in process of cooking myself some scallops (and I don't cook and prefer to go out; however, I will often purchase special foods for a dinner alone, such as steak, crab legs, etc). 

Remember, also, to keep on hand, for nights you have your date night, a special drink.  If you do not drink alcohol, no problem.  My mom taught me a drink that I really love:  diet ginger ale and then mix with two other things, such as apple juice, or grapefruit, or crandberry (be sure you can have any of these with meds you take; I'm not suppose to have crandberry, cause I take coumadin).

And I'm about to watch the movie, Casey Anthony (good reason to stay in for a movie).


Now tell me, what did you to tonight ? ... have plans with others or come up with a great idea for some fun alone  ?
If you have some inspiring ideas, when alone, please share !
