I am very excited to be traveling to Paris!  Katie and I are leaving Tuesday and will arrive on Wednesday.  This trip was supposed to happen before my job, but due to a myriad of reasons, it was postponed.  I am going to get to meet some of the PR team who work at the Louvre, of which I am REALLY excited about!  I love working at the High Museum for many reasons, but this certainly doesn’t hurt  I think I was more nervous about gaining weight while in New Orleans because there really was no appreciation in that town for healthy food.  Their only appreciation was for the fried and greasy.  Hey – there’s a total time and place for that – but I could never live there.  I did love the jambalaya!  And the Jazz.  It was soooo worth the one pound I gained, haha.  But I feel like when I am in Paris, there will be an appreciation for food in a different sense.  The taste, flavor, combinations.  I mean, “nawlins” folk do appreciate food – don’t get me wrong – they take it very seriously!  But, it’s all just so amazingly unhealthy!  

It’s very, very cold in Atlanta right now.  I went on a Sunday afternoon walk/jog through Piedmont Park – it was freezing.  I think in Paris it’ll be close to like 20 or 30 degrees, so I’ll have to pack warm!  I am excited to take some photos for my Blog.  My 1-year “Bandiversary” is next Thursday.  I might be at the Eiffel Tower that day!  I am like 4 pounds away from my 1-year LB goal!  Down 76 pounds…and eventually I want to be down 120 pounds.  I’m excited, and just very eager to get it all off.  

I’m meeting Katie for Sushi tonight – we’re gonna go over our last minute Paris plans!  I’ll be back soon.  

Hope you all had a great weekend.
