create my own stimulus plan by doing at least one NEW AND FULFILLING thing in July, August, and September 2009

24 Grille
Two friends and I were treated to drinks and dining after work. We toured the newly renovated Book Cadillac and spa afterward. It was a nice surprise and way to end the work week.

1923 Cafe
Sunday evening I attended a poetry reading. It was beautiful. There were 5 readers, then an open mic. I’ll take my book in the next time I go. It was great to be in the presence of that flowing energy.

Lunch at the firehouse
Saturday I had lunch with my brother and his co-workers at the engine house. It was interesting, pretty quiet except for the conversation I had with my brother. It was nice though. Ha said I should come back~

T and I went to Hart Plaza and my friends house party last night. Both the music and party were great!

I went to the Beach Grille for lunch with the Soul Sessions group I was introduced to last month. The food was good, the company was great and the dessert was fabulous! I look forward to returning.

As I was leaving I returned a friend call and learned I was invited to dinner!

D and M prepared dinner and dessert for me. They were out of town after my surgery and wanted to prepare a meal for me. It was scrumptious too! There was fresh salad made from their garden (They sent me home with a bag of fresh basil), salmon, corn with fresh parsley and a pasta dish. Dessert was strudel- very thoughtful- what a pleasant surprise.

I love my friends~

Here is my first entry. It’s titled, Paint It Red, leave a comment letting me know what you think~

Saturday my brother treated me to dinner at Saltwater. Today I treated my daughter to a restaurant that is new to both of us. I was satisfied and happy after leaving both places~

on Youtube for the first time… never thought I’d say that. It’s the trailer for an upcoming DVD. I’m second from the left. I can’t wait to see the finished product~

• Taping- being in Tim’s yoga video
• Bogartz Cafe for a delicious veggie pizza afterward
• Cadieux Cafe for live music, dancing, picture taking and seeing Feather Bowling for the first time.
• Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe for more wonderful live music
• Meeting Hollie and Catherine and hanging out with them- Tim and Marge, what a fun bunch!

I had lunch in Birmingham at a spot that is new to me. The turkey burger and sweet potato fries came highly recommended, so that’s what I had. The food was very good and the company was great~

Yummy! I found baked pineapple pie at Nino’s~

I saw Tanji. The massage was very relaxing. She was able to get the knots out of my back, I don’t know where they come from. Afterward she gave me a 20% off coupon for my next visit~
