The Shoe Blog: October 2007
http://ysoltblog.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. So here I am, still sans a full-length mirror, eating on my living room rug (even though I have a coffee table), and with an empty room (which can either house a dining table and chairs, or a bar, or an elliptical). Living solo is fab (I think)! Oh, and then I stopped at a deli because - what? So I'm in the cab now in designer boots (ha! Did you think they were actually designer? In a town like Irvington, where I stick out like a sore thumb due to my inability to look fierce.

The Shoe Blog: December 2007
http://ysoltblog.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 14, 2007. It’s been such a long time since I opened this box –- so long that I had forgotten what was in this special collection of memories of mine. I don’t just put anything in it either. Everything inside is special. These are the things that I never want to let go of. Everything is a part of me and I’m proud of it. And now as I read this card - a card that I had given to myself about three years ago or so - I’m filled with gratitude. I did it. I moved on. In the card, I wrote:.

The Shoe Blog: May 2007
http://ysoltblog.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Everyday is Like Vaca'. Yes, I wear heels to the beach (sometimes). I don't want to look (uhhh) short. But that's besides the point - this blog is celebratory. I spotted the first Jesus sandals of the season. Happy summer! We befriended some lifeguards (score! The only thing that changed is we can finally dress cute (not to mention, weather-appropriate) sans jackets and scarves (unless the ensemble calls for it). I wonder how the summer of '07 will unfold. Let the games beg...While...

쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill): Travertines, Meat, and Mary
http://thevoyageofswill.blogspot.com/2009/01/travertines-meat-and-mary.html
쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill). Sunday, January 18, 2009. Travertines, Meat, and Mary. We had no idea what to expect from Turkey. Hell, we didn’t even know what continent we thought Turkey was a part of. Whenever we described our trip we always said we were going to Europe and Turkey, but, technically, Turkey is Europe. But, quite presciently, our decision to sever Turkey from the rest of Europe was a wise one. We’ll start with that. We spent a lot of our time on the coast and got to enjoy some amazing se...

쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill): The Land of Mastersons
http://thevoyageofswill.blogspot.com/2009/01/land-of-mastersons.html
쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill). Sunday, January 18, 2009. The Land of Mastersons. My first impressions of Dublin didn’t help much:. It has a small city center, though not in a quaint, friendly, easily navigable kind of way. It felt too big to be easily traveled, but without the awe-inspiring infrastructure or buildings of a big city. I guess I can blame the Brits for that. I also found Temble Bar to be like a drunken Irish theme park. Everything felt contrived and New York seems more Irish. The highlight ...

쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill): Berlin
http://thevoyageofswill.blogspot.com/2008/10/berlin.html
쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill). Sunday, October 19, 2008. Best city we’ve visited so far. This is a place that makes it quite clear to me that living history [not that history’s ever dead (or is it? Is much more interesting than castles and big cathedrals/churches. In Berlin, you can feel a city remaking its history and changing its what typifies its neighborhoods and itself as a whole every year. I like the new history of Berlin compared to old ruins. Today, the roles have reversed. The west would want t...

쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill): February 2009
http://thevoyageofswill.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill). Sunday, February 8, 2009. I love the smell of India in the morning. It smells like . . .victory. Well, not quite. For now, to try to weather the storm, I’ve begun to do what any sane person would do on an international flight: get drunk on the unlimited free booze to numb my olfactory senses. We had suspected our identity had been thieved in Turkey. It’s definite now and steps are being taken to rectify the situation. No rules on the road-Run a red light? Delhi is a throbbi...

쓰레기통 여행 (The Voyage of Swill). Sunday, January 18, 2009. Gourmet Beer and French Fries. Check out couchsurfing.com if you are interested in more info. Sue and I both highly recommend it. PS-A Finnish girl named Rica (sp? Medieval architecture and canals aside, Belgium will always be remembered fondly for the hospitality showed to us by Johan and for the life-changing beer (and damn good fries). If you didn’t know already, that should confirm our priorities on the trip. After all, this blog ...쓰레기통 여행 (Th...

Write-On Mommy: June 2007
http://writeonmommy.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Mix toddler triumphs and tantrums with publishing deadlines and office drama, and it's amazing I still find time to watch LOST. What I did on my summer vacation. by Write-On Mommy. Not knocking Disney because he had an awesome time there with J.J. last year, but the three days in Mouseville left us achy, disgustingly sweaty, and utterly exhausted. It was worth it to see J.J.'s look of awe on "It's a Small World" and to this day, he remembers the Pirate ride and the fireworks. Links to this post.
