it's texas, bitch.

so yes, i'm in texas, yee-haw! the land of cows and cacti.

am staying at my mom's house in austin, and have a pretty nice set up there. have just been trying to get settled in the past few days, have had an interview and a couple of meetings, and had to cancel one of my cooking classes because i was 2 people short of my minimum.

the interview went fine-- was for doing seasonal kitchen production at whole foods-- the job itself i'm not overly interested in, but they are supposed to call me soon, so we'll see what happens there. i still have a few more leads to follow, including a houston chef/cook-book author, program director at one of the local community colleges, and some women from a networking group i've been involved with.

i'd really like to make some money so i can afford to travel (LA and thailand) in january as well as not continue to deplete my savings. so let's hope the rest of my classes fill up, and i get some holiday work!

in other news, i've officially launched my healthy eating + greening blog - stem+leaf and my natural foods website has been redesigned and is lovely and ready to go! so those are the big things going on professionally.

that's really all that's going on i guess. i'll write something more witty soon.
