what would you have done?

[Guest guest]

tonight I was waiting for my husband to get home so we could eat

dinner. I was maybe like 6-7 hungry. while I was sitting reading I

suddenly got the idea that what I really really wanted just then was a

piece of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

I could have popped over to the grocery store and bought one,

probably, or made one. But it seemed like a lot of trouble, and

everything was all cooked and we were going to eat probably within 30

minutes. So I didn't go out and get cake. Instead I had a little bit

of the dinner even though it was not what I wanted. I thought maybe I

was just having wacky sugar thoughts because I was hungry.

Then he got home and we ate, and by now I have no particular desire

for cake. If there was one here I might eat a bit just to see if it

matched my expectations, but there isn't.

So practically speaking this was probably the right thing to do, but

do you think that I should have gone out and gotten what I really

wanted? Where do you think this kind of scenario fits into IE?
