Adventures in GALing

[AntoniaB]

Check it out: I went out tonight with a whole different "agenda". I was going out to EAT, because I was HUNGRY, and I wanted to reward myself for having written 3500 words of good stuff for my book an knocked out almost half a chapter in two days.

I went to the same place I usually go (the food and service are outstanding and it's 12 min. drive only) and I ended up talking to my friend the bartender, met 2 new women my age, one who is dating and "quite skeptical" and being "married off" by her friends and family who are pushing her to "not be single" even though she's ok with it, and then sitting with a married couple I have known for years who pleaded with me to intervene with their 20 year old daughter who sees me as this huge role model and who is seeming to be without direction.

I ended up engaged by "someone" for the entire 5 hours I was out, and I never was bothered being single at all.

I had a really good time. It was freeing to have no agenda and just "be" and let things go where they did :-)
