Table for One

This afternoon I wanted to sit somewhere and read and eat a snack. The most common response to that would be a coffee shop; however coffee shop snacks are normally sweet and I was really in the mood for chips and salsa. Where can you get chips and salsa and a diet coke?? Chili's!!!!

So this afternoon I took my book and walked in to Chili's and asked for a table for one. I then sat and read my book and ate chips and salsa with avocado ranch and drank Diet Coke for an hour and a half. It was great! The host when I asked for a table of one gave me a bit of a strange look, but it was nice to sit and read and snack.




Why is it that it is normal for people to sit alone in a coffee shop and read, but to sit in a restaurant alone seems weird? I think if I wrote a book about this I would title it: Table for One: Single People Need To Eat Too!

I enjoyed my time alone in Chili's today. Even though I normally like to go out to eat with people for social purposes, I think I may venture further in to this table for one thing. It's kind of empowering and relaxing. I already enjoy movies by myself.... maybe I'll do dinner and a movie by myself one night!

For now... the book I finished reading tonight was really good. I do recommend it for all women. Even if you're not one who struggles with being single or dating or break-ups, it's still a good read and full of great info for those you know who do. I enjoyed all of it!!



Until then......
