Slow day not so slow
08.06.04 (8:20 am) [edit]

I spoke too soon, my slow day turned into a busy one quickly!!!


I worked my butt off until about 3 and then I managed to get a lil bit of a break.  We had steak and lobster tonight, the steak sucked but on the upside we had bread, first time in a month! We also got near beer (non-alcoholic) which was a treat.


I went to the gym, did a new workout of 15 on the bike and 15 on the stair climber and did upper body workout on the weights.  Now my arms are shaking!!


I got to meet a 'famous' person last night!  Zhalmay Khalizad who is the US Ambassador to Afghanistan was in our building for a meeting and just decided he wanted to watch some TV, so his guards brought him up to our desk to watch some CNN with us! Too bad it wasn't on FOX!

Great work on the weight, slow and steady wins that race. Your food sounds lousy. Famous people are always good for the resume? Fox would have been a better bet for him to see. Much love coming your way.

So was the lobster edible??
Rather exciting to meet Ambasador Khalilzad. I have a feeling before your tour there is finished you'll have met a lot of important folks.
You're being really ambitious at the gym! good for you! You're going to be in great shape by the time you get home!!
Hugs and kisses,
Mom

He sounds much more important than me meeting Coolio in Kosovo. Was he a nice guy, or was he busy watching the boob tube?
