In case you're heading to Omaha, here are some of my thoughts from the trip that might help you plan yours! It's a great place and I wish we had more than one and half days to spend here!

Village Pointe Farmers Market:
1. My first stop was Jisa's Farmstead Cheese. I got to sample all sorts of handcrafted cheeses and even though I don't have a fridge in the hotel, I couldn't help myself and bought a package of dill cheddar chunks. Yum!
2. Next, I chatted with Kelly who has an urban farm called the Black Sheep Farm. I debated whether I could buy a pot of her beautiful flowers and get it home in one piece, but we both agreed that it wasn't going to happen.
3. Then, I saw a vendor (sorry, I didn't catch the name) that sold herbs and honey, and asked if she also had bee pollen. My friend Jess of  Foodmayhem.com told me about the benefits of eating bee pollen, and I wanted to see if the taste differed from farm to farm, but alas, she didn't have any. However, I did learn all about growing my own herbs and am going to start with oregano when I get home!
4. Lastly, I chatted with a lovely lady from the Old Market Sourdough company. I bought a huge loaf of multi-grain sourdough bread from her. I can't wait to make sandwiches with them! Her neighbor was a dietician named Karisa that gave me lots of great advice on restaurants to check out and where to shop. She also gave me healthy recipes to try out. I'll definitely post them once I've attempted to make them!

Shopping in the Old Market:
What a cute little area with tons of boutiques and eateries! Even though E was tired, we visited just about every shop! If you like incense, organic cotton and hemp clothing, greeting cards, candles, soaps, funky jewelry, and other fun tchotchkes, then you won't want to miss this!

Cabella's Sports and Outdoor Gear:
I'm not sure if meeting Warren or visiting this store was the highlight of E's trip! He was in pure heaven here because he loves shopping for this stuff! Luckily, they stuff for me to check out too! I started with their clothing section and picked out a sporty purple polo (for future golf outings), a very technical pair of shorts for my trip to Asia, and a cool hiking tee for my brother.
Then I discovered the cute general store inside the store! They had delicious fudge samples and great chips and salsa with a kick! I wanted to bring some salsa home, but it definitely wouldn't have passed through security in my little ziplock baggie.
After a while, I found E and we checked out binoculars, camping furniture, bbq grills, and smokers. We can't wait until we get a grill and smoker! Mmm! While dreaming about the food we'd smoke, we realized that it was almost time for dinner, so we paid and headed out.

The Drovers (Steakhouse):
As we waited for our table, we noticed that everyone was leaving with doggie bags (unfortunately, in styrofoam boxes <sigh>)... but there was none of that for E and I (you know, because we want to save the environment!).
We were starving, so we dove into the fresh, warm bread with creamy butter as soon as we sat down. I also started with their salad bar while E had their sinfully cheesy double-baked potato chowder (I "helped" him finish it.)
The Drovers is known for their "Whiskey style" steaks in which they put marinate the meat in a Whiskey concoction for about 15 minutes -- just long enough to have a hint of flavor without it overpowering the taste of the steak. I had a fantastic filet mignon and E enjoyed the rib-eye. Both were cooked to perfection -- a nice salty crust on the outside with a juicy pink inside. 
The sides were just average. My broccoli was steamed to death and E's fries were good, but nothing to write home about. Our dishes also came with an odd ring of apple that was cooked in some juice. It was very dark in the restaurant, so I couldn't really tell. Oh well, it was a small built-in dessert, which was good because we certainly didn't have any room left for a real one!

Famous Dave's BBQ:
By 4pm on Saturday, I was geting hungry... and definitely couldn't wait until our 8pm dinner reservation at The Drovers, so we stopped in on a whim for a pulled pork sandwich with mashed red-skinned potatoes. The sandwich was very light on sauce and pork, but what we had was delicious... so we stopped back again the next day before heading to the airport for more take-out.
This time, we ordered a lot more food since it was going to be our lunch and dinner (yes, we spent nearly a whole day in transit!) We ordered the XXL Slab of ribs, beef brisket, and more pulled pork. On the side we had their garlic red-skinned mashed potatoes (very good, though a bit heavy on the garlic), potato salad, and scrumptious corn muffins.
As we ate in the airport, I could tell that we were the envy of everyone! E and I agreed that our fav was still the pulled pork. The ribs were flavorful, but not as fall-off-the-bone tender as we would have liked, and I thought there was a little too much fat on the meat. Either way, this was a bijillion times better than the $5 bag of chips that Frontier tried to sell us on the plane!

Unlike the past few weekends, where I've been going "home" to NYC, this weekend, E and I found ourselves in Omaha, NE. E was lucky enough to get a ticket to Warren Buffet's shareholder meeting from school, and I got to attend the May Launch in Omaha too! (I wish I could have attended the Orlando event so that I could meet people that have businesses near my home, but this was a great experience too!)

After dropping E off at the Qwest Center at the crack of dawn (with 30,000 people coming in for the meeting, you gotta get in line early!), I decided to visit one of Omaha's farmers markets in Village Pointe. It was a blustery morning with strong winds, and since it was the first gathering of the year, there was a small turnout. This was great for me because the friendly vendors had lots of time to chat with me!

I didn't have much time to spend at the farmers market because I wanted to get to the May Launch early. It was an informative and inspiring meeting wher we learned all about new products, compensation plans and promotions! The highlight of the meeting for me was meeting Tracy, who is already a director. We had lunch together and she shared a lot of her experiences with me -- including mistakes she made in the past and how I could learn from it.

I've known this for a while, but today's meeting confirmed it for me, one of the best things about this business is that it really rewards people that take the time and energy to help develop and build other people's skills and businesses. We've all heard John Donne's quote before that "no man is an island" and it's especially true in this business. I love the fact that this isn't a cut-throat, dog-eat-dog type of company, and yet there's no doubt that everyone that's successful has strong ambition, drive, and passion.

I walked away from the meeting and couldn't wait to share my newfound knowledge with others! I want to help people make their homes safer by eliminating dangerous chemicals in their cleaning products, I want everyone to be healthier by supplementing their diets with wholesome vitamins, I want to help reduce the amount of waste we create by switching over to concentrated formulas, and I want to help people reach their financial goals -- whether it's to pay off debt, buy a new house, or travel the world!
