Introduction

After a recent culmination of events, which has been years in the making, I've decided to start "Solo Date Night". My first "solo date" was last night, and I was inspired. But first...a few more words on WHY:

Sometimes, a girl just really needs to go out for a martini and a fancy dinner. But she doesn't always have someone to go with. Like me. Going out by one's self could be a terrifying and humiliating experience. I am going to try to prove that wrong. Instead, I will hopefully find that it will be an empowering and exciting experience. After my first (okay, second - but that was a long time ago) night out by myself, I am going to commit myself to going out solo at least every other week, if not one night a week, and share my experiences. And, not to jinx myself, but perhaps my solo evenings will eventually NOT be solo all the time. We shall see. This could be interesting.
