Head down fists a-swingin.

Tonight I went out of my comfort zone. I planned to meet my sisters and their husbands at a late movie. (My hubby stayed home with the kiddos who were in bed.) Well my sisters had gone to dinner and I was meeting them at the theater after they were done. I got there early... which is rare. I waited and waited in my car for them to arrive... and they didn't. So I called them to find they were still at the restaurant waiting for their bill.

GREAT. I could sit out there like and idiot or go in alone.

ALONE.

Okay so I realize for many people this isn't a problem. My husband goes to movies on his own all the time.

And it's just walking in and paying and getting a seat alone, I wouldn't actually be watching it alone.

But the thing is, in a small town people talk. Oh they talk. And being married 3 times before your 30 makes you a somewhat interesting topic 'round these parts. So, I was afraid I would see someone and they would see me alone and think the worst. "Oh poor Brein must be having trouble at home, at the movie all by herself poor thing."

Am I paranoid? Why yes, yes I am. And I do realize my paranoia is all in my head, but still.

I mean I was already paranoid about people thinking it was weird for me to be with my sisters and their husbands, sans my own. So to walk in there alone was even scarier. Oh, as I type this I realize how lame my silly fear is. :P

So instead of sitting in the parking lot, I got my butt outta the car, walked in, bought my ticket, stopped at the concession stand and got me some treats and went into the dark theater to sit alone... for 20 minutes.

:D It felt great.

To hell with what people think. I'm done with that I've decided. To live in fear of something so silly is sooo lame!

SOOOOOO- We saw "The Fighter." It was amazing!! And I'm not just saying that because Mark Wahlberg is in it and he is so freaking hot. It really was a "feel good" movie, you know the type where you leave the theater with your dukes up thinking all of a sudden your tough and can fight too? Ya, that kind of movie.

So what I really should have been embarrassed about was leaving the theater a-swingin...... but I'm not.
