Hello there - got busy and didn't post. Got busy with not sure what - but was busy.
Today I sat at Bob Evans by myself eating breakfast.
I had a table for two - me by myself, armed with a newspaper and a cup of coffee.
The crowd tends to be a bit older there - I would like to say I was the youngest there without a parent. For those that know me, I am entering those midlife crisis years, so not so young anymore.
I got many stares from people, not sure why. Were they wondering why I was sitting in a restuarant all by myself. I suppose it would bother most people to do that, eat by themselves. Is it because they think it would be boring or are they more worried what others (strangers at that) would think on them. Were the people giving me odd looks wondering why I was sitting there by myself? Why would they be concerned, what did they think of me? I really don't care, but thought that would be interesting topic of discussion. It more or less triggered my curiousity.
Society still has a stigma against women who are independent. It's funny to assign independent to a simple act of eating breakfast by myself at a restuarant. Would you go eat by yourself? If not, why not?
