I do things alone a lot also. I don't really have any friends here. We moved to TX about 3 years ago, and it is hard to make friends in a new place, for me anyways. So, if my husband is doing something and I am alone, I will go out to lunch alone, and read a book. I feel a little awkward, but it is usually an enjoyable time. I am pretty good company if I don't say so myself! Yesterday I went to lunch at a place that has outdoor seating and the weather was a little chilly so I thought it would be quiet, but man it was packed with lots of people. Of course, I sat there, alone, reading my book, and felt a little odd, but overall, enjoyed it.
