leaves and sysco and bears.....oh my!!!

So first off, the leaves are changing and an incredible and beautiful rate. it is truly amazing. although one weird thing is that some trees seem to turn into a collage of pastel colored leaves and all i can think is that they seem a bit out of place since it is not easter. kind of weird.

second, i was hiking in a local state park this morning, actually scouting out a backpacking trip, when i saw a freaking bear!!!! it was about 100ft in front of me on the trail and had a big ol' butt.
i also had a huge urge to hug it because it looked so soft but i did not. nor did it give me the chance to as it ran off.

and finally, i have decided to do something that none that would ever happen, especially meagan. i am going to write a book. yes that is right...a book. i am going to turn an unfortunate situation into a fantastic experiment. as so may not know, all of my food is provided to me at the audubon center. however all of this food is from sysco...and i do mean all of it and cooking most of the meals is really like using industrial microwaves. even the fried rice comes in a pressure sealed bag. anyways i am going to do the opposite of barbara kingsolver, live on food from withing 100 miles, and live on sysco product for the next 8 months. of course im not going to just live but i am going to interviews delivery people, company reps, etc. to give you an over all picture. maybe i will even dabble into the nutritional content of food. i think that this could be huge and i want to hear your opinions about the idea. there is promise in this one, i really think so. anyways i am 24 and will start returning peoples calls tonight, sorry that i missed alot of them and i love you all.
