Katja is right, tomorrow is a new day.

You can always show your virtual face around here, whether you are being fitness oriented or not. We're here to support each other, through good times and bad.

I'm sure it must be tough being around a friend who has an infant when you are without, and there are no magical words or potions to make that wound hurt less. If there were, we'd all be waiting in line to share those with you. Ditto for if there were a way to make you a mom instantly.

Don't sweat over the fridge situation. Instead, focus on how wonderful it will be when you can fill your new fridge with all sorts of healthy snacks and meals! If it's a smidgen too wide, there are usually all sorts of answers, from shaving a hair off of a cabinet to relocating the fridge. When we bought our new oven a few years ago, we had to move it, including rewiring for the plug, because it wouldn't fit where the old oven had been.

As far as eating a nice dinner out, you can prepare a very nice dinner at home, with minimal day of the meal effort. It'll be healthy, and it'll give you and your husband a chance to break out the good china.

Since you're off for the summer, take a day or two, once you finish your house list, celebrate finishing that, and destress. Go to a spa for a day, get a manicure, pedicure, massage, and facial, and then the next day, go get your hair all dolled up. If there's a Seasons 52 around, make reservations for that night, and tell them you're celebrating your anniversary, even if you aren't. Get all dolled up for your husband, and the two of you go out for a nice dinner that's healthy. Book a hotel room for the night, and refocus on the two of you.

If there isn't a Seasons 52 near you, then select another restaurant, but plan your meal ahead of time, so you can really enjoy it when you arrive. You've always been really good at eating salads, veggies, and fruits in advance of your meals out, so if necessary, follow that.
