<---has learned to appreciate going out on her own. She takes a good book or a magazine and usually enjoys herself. <---has decided she is good company for herself--LOL
<---says seriously, Nancy, it was really hard at first but she has come to appreciate going to a restaurant she loves all by herself, and the wait staff of certain restaurants has come to know her and cater to her. <---says she tends to get very good, quick service and is able to relax and just enjoy it.
