I've not posted to you before, though have been a lurker... My roots are in your area, and I always feel a kindred spirit with my fellow DC-based BB friends.
Maybe it's because I've been hankering for some Ocean Slutty fries with some malt vinegar on them, but I really think you ought to get out there and really start getting used to doing fun things by yourself.
The old me would have declined, and then sat around all weekend pouting because I wasn't doing anything fun. Do you do this too? Resentment occurs when we are not doing things for ourselves but depending on others to fulfill needs that are not being met... I think Mr. Wonderful and I were poster children for resentment because we both sat around and figured that the reason we were miserable was because the other person was not taking care of what we needed to do for ourselves.
And do yourself a favor? On the 3 hour trip across Rt. 50? Plug in some fun tunes and don't give your brain the opportunity to ruin some quality time with yourself. It will all work itself out over time, and fretting about it on a fun excursion really sucks.
Go have some fun! And would ya have a few fries for me?
