I'm posting this a day late...sorry! My last day of phase 1 consisted of working out, then coming home and trying to decide what to wear out with HHT. In this process, I realized that I'd want to do my hair and then I realized that my bangs were resembling a sheepdog and at that moment, I decided to get a haircut. I had time after all. When I walked in there was really no one in line and it was a color sale month, so what the heck, let's get it colored. I really like it, but it was shocking (and still is whenever I pass by a mirror). I feel like I must have had a Marilyn Monroe moment...it's platinum, baby! HHT LOVED it! He said he felt like he was out with another woman. I won't think about that too much and just enjoy the fact that "I" was the other woman. LOL We saw Slumdog Millionaire, which was a touching, heartfelt movie. We both really enjoyed it. Then he took my to a Thai place called Tigers Garden in downtown Vanc. We ordered the appetizer sampler and I tried tofu (not really my thing) and had one each of an egg roll, wonton, and chicken satay. That was my splurge and after perusing the menu, I decided on the Garlic Shrimp w/steamed veggies. After we finished, we went to Goodwill (all dressed up, it was fun!) and picked up some new puzzles and board games to play with the kids the next day. We were then going to a nice hotel bar, but it was packed and he told me that he had purchased some sugar-free drink mixes earlier, so I suggested we go back home, tell B that she was still babysitting and not let the other 3 know we were home. Note to self: this plan is only good in theory. Kids have a parent radar that is near-impossible to fly under. Anyway, we did sit in our room and play a new game while enjoying a sugar-free mixed beverage. After tucking the kiddos in, we overtook the movie room and watched A Private Function which was an 80s Brit-Com. That was our evening. It was fun and I was really proud that I indulged moderately and made good choices!
