boys girls and doing things alone?

[KillarneyRose]

I really, really need "alone time". I enjoy being around people, but every once in awhile I just want to go to the mall or a movie or just watch a dvd by myself. This was hard for Mr. KR to understand at first, but he's really good about it now (takes the girls out for dinner or skiing or visiting the inlaws for the weekend).

As far as the "girls traveling in packs to the bathroom" thing, I don't usually mind being part of a pack. But a couple of years ago Mr. KR and I were at a restaurant with one of his former shipmates and his wife and I needed to use the lady's room. I excused myself from the table and she said, "Oh, I'll come with".

Well, it wasn't just a checking my hair, putting on my lipstick kind of visit if you understand what I mean. So I was trying to do my business as quietly as possible while someone I'd only known an hour was trying to converse with me from outside the stall. Ugh.
