i need a week of saturdays. i went for a hike, did some shopping, and went on a date with the hippie. i had all these chores to do, but having worked and cooked 2 meals a day all week had made me start feeling like all i was doing was work. so--i took the day to play out in the world. it was fabulous! and dinner was fabulous. we knew we were going to be having a non-south-beach dinner, so we chose a restaurant where the portions aren't huge. and we went to a little cafe for dessert, and i only ate half--i was pretty proud of myself, too, because man--that mousse was GOOD! it was also pretty nice not to cook. i have pretty much decided that for one meal a weekend, i am just going to eat what i want and not worry too much about it. not that i plan to go insane, but i do plan to splurge a little. :)
