The photos are so gorgeous that I forget the fact that I'm not really into cherries and instead I want to eat them all :)<br /><br />I have actually gone to a movie by myself once. I went to see Gosford Park, which I really loved. After the movie I went to the ladies' room in the cinema and an older lady approached me to ask me who the murderer actually was. I explained it to her and just then her friend came and we talked about it all three. That was a kind of fun thing and it made me feel like I hadn't experienced the movie alone :)Moahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249001761411869105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719027560662681292.post-42460894956301492122011-08-17T00:22:10.888-06:002011-08-17T00:22:10.888-06:00I've gone a couple of times by myself and actu...I've gone a couple of times by myself and actually really enjoy it. It's easier to find good seating when you're alone (able to avoid the tall person, the rowdy teens, etc). When I went alone recently, I was the only person in the theatre except for one young couple. I chose to sit in front of them :-) It just feels a little strange walking out alone. A funny thing I like to do when going with the girls is that when we pick a primo spot to sit with empty seats in front of us, I move up and sit in the center of those seats, which keeps most people from wanting to sit there. Then, about 10 minutes after the movie starts I move back with the girls. We end up with no heads in front of us for the whole movie. The girls tease me about doing it, but one of my biggest pet peeves is watching a movie with someone's head blocking part of the screen. LOVE your pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your life.Sherrie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561427731815978977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719027560662681292.post-36393493683155570372011-08-16T22:59:50.540-06:002011-08-16T22:59:50.540-06:00I never even thought of going to a movie by myself...I never even thought of going to a movie by myself...but now that I'm considering it; that would mean *picking wherever I want to sit without compromise *not sharing my popcorn and drinks *seeing a chick flick without having to see the obligatory gun flick as payback... <br />You may have something here.

I married a son 7 years ago so I know a bit how you feel right now, and I am in the midst of planning my daughter's spring wedding. The wedding photos you took are spectacular! Your home was the prettiest venue anyone could desire, and the zip line looked like fun!<br /><br />I've gone to movies by myself, dined in restaurants by myself, and toured cities by myself when I've accompanied my husband on his business trips. I've gotten to enjoy those times as they make me feel independent. Enjoy the movie!

Please don't feel like a looser because you're alone. Feel liberated. I loved the book The Help. Will see the movie on Vacation next week.
