Subway

I had Subway for lunch today. Big deal right? Well today I did something that I have never done before. No, I didn't order something different. I ordered the same old thing (turkey wrap, american cheese, lettuce, extra pickles, salt/pepper, mayo). Wondering what I did? I ate at Subway all alone. I have never eaten at a place by myself! I'm almost embarssed to say that, but usually if I don't pack a lunch to take to work I go somewhere and pick something up and either take it back to work and eat there or I sit in my car and eat. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that wouldn't sit down at a "restaurant" and eat by themselves. What is wrong with us? It was so nice sitting there, really. I needed a break from work so I didn't want to go back to the office and it was kind of a yucky day so I didn't want to sit in my car. So I took the plunge. I ordered my sandwich and plopped down in a booth all by myself! It really helped that there were 3 other people in the place that were alone. It was actually kind of relaxing. I was able to just sit there and clear my head and eat my lunch. I made a to-do list for the weekend and stared off into nowhere land for a bit. It was nice not to have to ward off phone calls when eating at the office or even having to try and hold a conversation with someone had there been someone eating with me. Fast food type restaurants are one thing...I'm not sure if I could go to the Olive Garden and order up a table for 1. Maybe that'll be a personal challenge of mine. So what do you think? Do you eat in alone at restaurants?

Sure! I've eaten at "real" restaurants by myself! The first time I felt just a little funny, but I really do like it once in awhile. Matter of fact, I enjoyed breakfast for 1 at Big Boy, just the other day! Like you said, it's nice for when you just need a little alone time. More power to you, girl!
