so, even though all of massachusetts takes president's day as a holiday, i had to work. (it's not a big holiday in philly, where my company is.) it was certainly an easy day, since only 3 of my 8 scheduled offices were actually open. the thing that made it sucktacular was the snow... i woke up to about 3 inches on the ground, and it kept falling all morning. it's hard to look professional when you're walking into a customer's office shaking snow out of your hair and road salt off your shoes!

the shortened day gave me a chance to hit the whole foods market before i headed home to do office work. i've really been in a groove with this "eat like the french" thing, and i wanted to pick up some fresh food for the next couple of days. i picked up a couple of natural yogurts (i'll sweeten them with honey), a great artisanal cheese, some crusty whole-grain rolls, and lots of fresh veggies. lunch was a roll with a small slice of cheese, and one of my favorite salads: baby spinach, peas, cashews, raisins and scallions, with a homemade cashew dressing (i'll post the recipe if anyone wants it). dinner was equally as good: steamed asparagus, and fresh black pepper pasta with a sautee of shallots, garlic, and oyster mushrooms. oh, and a glass of red wine, which i usually never do unless i'm eating out. but it was really enjoyable to sit in the kitchen and have my nice home-cooked meal, instead of scarfing down a Lean Cuisine in front of the tv. i could get used to this!

oh, and good news: the guy i met at the B-side contacted me! we're going out sometime this week, no definite day yet. but at least i'm not wondering any more. *grin*

It sounds like you're making great progress toward everyday sensible eating...home cooking REALLY helps - the more I think about it, the more I understand that I've put on weight when I've gotten food primarily at restaurants and takeout groceries...portions are just so out of control, and the culture is still all about cleaning your plate.

And seriously, seriously...good luck with your date. As kinda odd as I feel, I know you deserve the very best, and that includes being happy and being with someone who can best appreciate the wonderful person you are.
