Wow!
It feels like it's been a long time since I've thought about this blog at all. The non-virtual world has been wild and too exciting to set aside.
This month I'd like to try something different. I'm going to participate in my very own "Minimalist Month" in order to save money, reduce waste, and better appreciate the things I already have. I'd like to spend five weeks focusing on cutting back in every aspect of my life. This inspiration comes from a Danish state of mind and my desperation to save money for my post-grad travels.
Hopefully I'll be cutting back on food (intake as well as cost), clothing (purchases and stretching my wardrobe), wasted time (Facebook, tumblr, lazy lounge time) and gaining a greater knowledge on what I really NEED versus what I WANT.
I'll also be entertaining myself by cooking or sampling a few European dishes. On the menu are rød grød med fløde (Denmark), Nutella Crepes (France), a 6-beer tour of HEB's best German beers, and kynuté ovocné knedlíky (Czech fruit dumplings), among other dishes.
On a side note, I turned my A/C completely off while I was gone home for a few days.. my house is a sauna.
Ah, Texas.
For now, auf wiedersehen or farvel!
