The Visible Woman...October 21, 2003

Today I felt shot up with adrenline and possibilties. The world is so full of things to think about!

Some days your heart beats fast from planning, considering, imagining. Adrenline and excitement surge through the veins. Today was one of those days.

First, because FFP let me make some airline plans for France, next year. Second, because I attended my first meeting of a group to advise on a capital campaign. (I signed a confidentiality agreement...so that's all I'm gonna say about that.) Third, because I was thinking about and planning everything from when to play tennis to where to obtain my next WEB space. Fourth, because I ate at a new place in the 'hood for a second time that I want to become my new favorite place if only because they had half price Happy Hour apps and good drink prices and a bartender/waiter who really hustled. But some of the food is really good..

Yeah, some days the heart beats a little faster. Added to that we showed the building again, trying to get backup interest for the contract we aren't so sure of.

JUST TYPING Excitement. Comes from a varitey of side roads. Heart rate up. I've stayed so calm. In retirement. But maybe. One needs a hit of adrenaline.
		Food Diary. *breakfast* nothing *lunch* tuna, lettuce, tomato sandwich on some whole grain bread bag chips (160 calories) 1 bite of a cookie *snacks* none dinner [Pacific Blue...fyi they have a 4-7 Happy Hour with a 5pm start on Saturday with 1/2 price apps and special drink prices...it's a good deal!] Bombay Saphire martini with a twist part of six different apps including dumplings, fried cream cheese things, pork lettuce wraps, tuna, fried and glazed shrimp, cucumber-wrapped crab meat a glass of Pinot a couple of bites of a apple dumpling dessert I ate a lot of dinner. What I didn't eat was all that cookie, though!
		Time flies.... I should have gotten to the club earlier but, hey, I was playing 'find the award fare' on American. I spent time going to a meeting downtown and then I seemed to waste the rest of the day doing I'm not sure what. The maid was in my way! I was too excited to calmly accomplish anything.

		Reading. Read .I.F. Stone's A Nonconformist History of our Times: The War Years 1939-1945 on the bike. In a way, it's discouraging how much the comlaints then mirrored Halliburton and the war in Iraq or, for that matter, Brown and Root and the war in Viet Nam.. Read a few bits of old newspapers and started a collection of Paris writings called Paris in Mind ed. by Jennifer Lee.
		I made notes on a column I won't write. I thought about helping on a non-fiction project of FFP's.
		Exercise thirty-one minutes on recumbent bike part of my new back and leg exercises
	.	Stomach is better if not 100%. I'm a little too excited emotionally, but in a pretty good mood.
