This is my three week plan, I also plan on mostly couch surfing. I will be staying in Lyon for a couple nights with my friends Marion and Laurent. Then off on my own to explore.

Right now, my focus has been the Sustainable Food Center. Right now I am working on a project with 5 other people to coordinate farmers with local chefs. The event will include 12 local chefs for various prominent restaurants featured at the market. This is a huge opportunity for me to work directly with the chefs and farmers. Did you know that chefs have publicists? I didn't know, maybe the one from Uchi since he has been on Iron Chef. But other than that, I had no clue. But we also have a major sponsor for our event, Toyota helped us two years ago and hopefully they will be back. They were able to debut the Venza, so who knows what we may be debuting this time.

It's 2011 already?

It's been cold and rainy all weekend and I have finally remembered that I have a blog.

Well, it's a new year and I am trying to reach some new goals and really try to get my "shit together". I'm trying to learn to decipher between needs and wants. For instance, I needed to buy four new animal print bras during the semi annual sale. It's true, they happened to only have my size in animal print, therefore ment to be. It was the first time ever that I did not have to special order my size, so it was a need.

Also I have come to the conclusion that I do not need to eat lobster bisque, salmon, and 15 dollar bottles of cab every night. That is a want. I really should be eating rice and beans or ramen with a pbr for that matter.

I also will be learning to live with less, I know how Unamerican that sounds. Bras and underwear aside (seeing as though my last bra purchase was probably around 07) I am making a commitment to be a microconsummerist, not sure what it means....I just made that up. I just googled it and it brought me to a massive quanitity of zoology sites so take it how you want, I can be fungi too.

This summer I will be travling again and heading back to Europe. Some friends from my Scotland trip invited me to go visit them in France and possibly going through Switzerland as well.
