Saturday

Saturday was not as nice as the night before.

Horrible date from the previous night wanted a repeat performance. If I didn't have a conscience I would have taken him up his offer and made him pay for dinner at Oceanaire. But I had to pass. You have to keep them wanting more. Yes, even when you don't like them, leave them wanting more, keeps them interested. This coming from a girl who is perpetually single. You know if I liked him, I would want to see him day, night, morning, evening, and all the wonderful moments in between.

So inevitably my night was so-so. It was more of a me moment. Dinner at Oceanaire did not quite live up to expectation. Their selection for Midtown Restaurant Week was not fantastic, did not leave me wanting more. Trout with peanuts, yummy and interesting. Warm cookies and milk that ended up as Rock. Hard. Cookies and Cold Milk. The waiter who was exhausted from having to serve all the Midtown restaurant week moochers like myself, left me with a nice goodbye and a please do not try this dessert on your next visit smile. I'll remember that.

I always enjoy nice quiet moments by myself, inasmuch as they cost me so much money and I've promised to stop doing them for awhile, my "living out loud" moments as I've aptly termed them, it's always good to take a breather, leave the noise behind and just sit down and enjoy a glass of wine.
