I went to the movies today by myself for the first time ever. The closest I'd gotten before this was the parking lot of a theater, at which point I chickened out, figuring I could just watch a movie at home by myself for a lot less money and could pause it when needed to boot.

The only downside, and it wasn't really a downside when you think about it, was that the heavens opened as soon as I stepped out of the theater and it started raining buckets. The walk back home is only about 10-15 minutes, but my hair was completely soaked, as were my purse, shoes and wool coat by the time I got to my door. They are all hanging in my entryway now with a towel underneath, dripping themselves dry (not my hair, of course. I keep that on top of my head, but it's dripping dry too.).

All in all, not a bad thing, of course. It gave me an excuse to stop in at the chocolatier and get some hot chocolate. Yum.
