very excited to express my excitement
Though the usage is fading, it still remains almost mandatory that someone talking about a new pertubation in their corporate or civic life is "excited", or better, "really excited".
"Madam Superintendent and Distinguished board members, I'm really excited to be here as chairman of the City of Akron's Green Means Go committee."
"Thanks, Chuck. I'm really excited about the this new Trade Away HP program for our OEMs."
Now if Bob Barker, dressed in the raiment of the Archangel Gabriel, were to burst into my office and offer me a free trip to meet myself--on many levels, I'd be excited. I might say something like, "Bob, I'm really excited that you've burst into my office today." Short of that, we're talking "pleased" or "happy" or even "honored". Not excited.
