Alone and a little lonely
So here I sit, in Orlando. I have not been kicked out of Pilates Class. In fact, I'm not even the worst one in class. I'm not the best either, but I'm closer to the top than the bottom, which is a huge relief! However, this class is monumentally more difficult than all the coursework for my Master's degree! I have lots of studying to do, which is fortunate because I have lots of time on my hands.
I thought that perhaps I might bond with my classmates and some of us might get together for dinner one night. Well, these folks are nice enough in class, but just plain WEIRD!! How odd, since most of us share quite similar backgrounds. So a group dinner just ain't happening!
I've had dinner alone for the 4th night in a row, and let me tell you, service sucks for the single diner. I've had some great food, but truly crappy service. I find that disturbing, since I've been dining at rather expensive restaurants, at least some of the time. I'm glad I don't travel for business all the time.
Zachary and Ryan are doing just fine without me. Zachary likes to talk on the phone to me, or rather he likes to listen to me talk to him. It's very sweet, but it makes me so sad when I get off the phone. I miss him so much it hurts. It would be easier if I didn't have quite so much free time.
So I'm alone, and bit lonely. I had dinner at a nice restaurant, at the bar. I had delicious crab cakes and a wonderful wine, but awful service. Ah well, I have strawberries and um, water. Ick. I wanted to go get a bottle of wine or perhaps some beer, but that seemed even more lonely and desperate. Bridget Jones' the Edge of Reason is on, and at least I'm not as pathetic as she is. So now I'll watch the movie and study a very long list of muscles. Where exactly is the multifudus anyway??

Indeed it does...as you look to the left then to the right trying to decide whether to eat at the world’s largest McDonald’s or at the Pirate's Dinner Theatre.

know what you mean about getting seemingly similar people out for dinner. know what you mean about dining alone. both are the bane of business travelers.
Can't wait for my first Pilates session with you!!
