Surprisingly enough, this weekend has left me with more good news than bad:

Friday night was Girls' Night, since one of our group's husband was off to the Nine Inch Nails concert and she wanted to watch a movie that he would never consent to watching. We enjoyed The Matchmaker, a cute little movie, and had sandwiches and lots of baby time. Oh! And there was an earthquake!

Saturday I headed into the City on the ferry, visiting the Ferry Building farmers' market and the craft fair across the street. I didn't want to hang out till 5, so I walked down to Pier 41 to catch the next ferry back. Lucky me, this ferry (2:50 from Pier 41) swings by Angel Island, so we got the scenic tour on the way home. Once home, I showered, made a salad and watched "My Favorite Wife", another cute little movie. And then I made blueberry scones. Sort of. They're edible, but no one else will ever know.

Yesterday, I headed into the City again (this time in a car, which wasn't NEARLY as fun as the ferry) for the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival. Obviously, I didn't eat much, but it was nice to be out in the sun and wind with a friend and a little bit of chocolate. Then we walked to Rose Pistola to watch some friends play a jazz while we ate an heirloom tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese pizza. Then I got to watch yet another cute oldie-moldy that constantly reminds me to take chance.

All in all, an excellent weekend. I vaguely remembered what it was like to enjoy being single. And I'm still feeling pretty good about things, so hopefully this signals a decrease in the emotional and physical lows I've been going through for the past few weeks. I'm tired of feeling crappy.

This weekend or next, we're thinking of going to Angel Island for the day. You're welcome to join us!

Also, don't forget that Shakespeare in the Park is going on now! I'll definitely be there this weekend coming up.

OH! And ... I have officially lost enough weight that I can now wear the ring my mother gave me when I graduated from undergrad. I haven't been able to wear this ring for years. Just a bit more, and I'll be able to wear my high school and Claddagh rings. Can't wait.
