I ate big red ice cream for dinner. (audible sigh) so, I really didn't have much except a bunch of sugar. I can't sleep and I'm up writing on the computer at 4:45 am.
My husband has to go in front of our city council tonight to defend our community theater. The council wants to charge more than our non-profit could afford for use of the newly built civic center. I usually toss and turn in bed putting together speeches in my head and building arguments ( like debate class.) I think I have decided now since I have an empty nest, just to get up and write things down. So I did and emailed my thoughts to my husband, which sounds odd since I hear him snoring, but he'll get it at work. It's basically just an intro and conclusion for whatever speech he is going to make. He is a very capable public speaker, but I am a better writer. We make a good team. I really like the basis for the speech I wrote. My husband wrote a wonderful letter to the patrons in our season program tallying 30 years of community service hours given by volunteers at our theater. I'll give him credit for that part of my speech. I appealed to the community service aspect of being a council member. I decided to approach them with the idea of charging them every time they sat in their seats, and then also charging them for every minute it took them to make a decision. And also point out the people charging them for their community service have no idea how a city council worked. Oh well, the speech I wrote was much more eloquent and tactful.
For a blog about diet and exercise I have really gotten off topic. Except that all this extra energy must be from the sugar, yet my Dad would swear the less he ate, the less sleep he required.
Lastly I signed up for Dave Ramsey's financial freedom thirteen week course at my church. If I am going to be more disciplined in my eating and exercising I might as well throw in finances also!
I just figured out how to use the spell check. Words misspelled show up in yellow. I am way behind the curve ball in many aspects of my life.
Sincerely,
I'm Not Oprah
